You ever look around and feel like we’re speaking at each other instead of to each other?

The shouting. The memes. The “us vs. them” labels. ....It’s everywhere, especially online. Conversations don’t happen anymore; arguments do. And if you’ve ever dared to speak up, you probably already know the price: character attacks, assumptions, and silence from people you thought knew you.I know that pain personally.I lived it.In Episode 1 of Allied We Can Cross the Aisle, I share why I started this show, not to attack, but to understand. I talk about growing up conservative, voting for Trump twice, and the uncomfortable truth that woke me up after January 6.This episode isn’t about blame. It’s about how we got here, and what we can do about it.I share the racism I didn’t even recognize at first. The family lessons I had to unlearn. The lies I believed. And how I chose to step into the hard work of listening.If you’ve ever felt torn between who you were and who you’re becoming…If you’ve ever wanted to understand someone you disagree with…If you’re tired of political theater and want something real…Watch Episode 1.It’s raw. It’s honest. And it’s just the beginning.🎧 Allied We Can Cross the Aisle: Episode 1 – My Why🪑 Pull up a chair.YouTubeappleSubstackSpotify Get full access to Allied We Can at alliedwecan.substack.com/subscribe
