Hope, Connection, & Bottles of Ranch: Life Lessons from the World Cup

We don't know about you, but stories from the World Cup have taken over our feeds, our brains, and our lives the last few weeks: the tales of Lawrence, KS, the Tartan Army, Cabo Verde's draw, the discovery of ranch dressing, and so much more.And it got us thinking...aside from the actual soccer part (like the insane offside rule which half the time doesn't even make sense when it gets called so does anyone know what it actually is), what can we learn from this global event?Today, we're sharing our biggest takeaways from the World Cup so far. We chat about how it allows us to connect with one another on a basic human level, the perspective you can get from seeing someone experience your country for the first time, and the power of kindness.We also talk about escapism, having a newfound appreciation for the things we take for granted, how pride in your country & wanting things to be better can coexist, and why maybe the stories we're all told about each other aren't really all they're cracked up to be. About Your Hosts: Beth is a licensed, Ph.D. clinical psychologist with 40+ years of experience treating patients of all ages. Joyce is a millennial just trying to figure it all out.Note:Advice and opinions on this show should not be considered as treatment.
