Critical Thinking, Politics & Personal Beliefs | How to Think for Yourself

Jess and Erin are back in the same room—and this time, it's Jess's birthday! 🎉In this candid conversation, they dive into critical thinking, political bias, personal beliefs, and what it really means to think for yourself in a world that's constantly telling you what to believe.Why do we hold the beliefs we do? Are our opinions truly our own, or have they been shaped by our upbringing, relationships, careers, social media, and the people around us?Jess and Erin unpack how our core values develop, why curiosity matters more than certainty, and whether there really is a "right" or "wrong" way to think.Drawing on their own lived experiences—from leadership and healthcare to relationships and navigating difficult conversations—they reflect on the responsibility of having a platform, speaking ethically, and staying open to perspectives that challenge our own.If you've ever felt caught between opposing viewpoints or wondered how to have more meaningful conversations without becoming polarised, this episode is for you.Join us for a thoughtful, honest discussion about critical thinking, self-awareness, ethical communication, and finding your own voice.
