STORY and POLITICS with Dominick and Virginia

Join Dominick and Virginia as we unravel the intricate dance between narrative and politics, as well as the age-old role of STORY in political campaigning. In this episode, we spotlight the media's role in shaping perceptions and its troubling relationship with misinformation. Our discussion warns against inflammatory rhetoric and champions the return of nuance to policy discussions (in lieu of polarizing issues into binary categories.) This kind of self-regulation is essential as we grapple with complex geopolitical issues during this campaign season and election cycle. We are being called upon to audit our own cherry picking and confirmation bias as we develop an awareness of identity politics. Bipartisan solutions lie solely in retiring echo chambers and the all-too common lifestyle of living in respective bubbles. In the spirit of Language of the Soul Podcast, we are indeed 'turning a page,' culturally. Our call to action is to join in the paradigm shift. To join in the telling of a NEW story--one about who we choose to become moving forward--one about interconnectivity and the march toward human potential.We would love to hear from you!
