Ep. 38 | Rainbows & Unicorns
Happy Pride month!!! Now let's all bake a cake with rainbows and smiles and love each other.
Today we chat about my busy week/weekend and my inner child's love for carnivals before diving into the main topic: managing and respecting differences just in time for Pride. Lately, a theme across all my conversations with friends is how is it possible that I have so many friends with opposite viewpoints politically, socially, religiously, and of such different backgrounds and personalities. While that's given me a lot of anxiety in how my dear friends view my character, I decided to embrace my ability to appreciate the different flavors in friends.
Reality is: you're never going to grow or learn unless you cast a wide net when building your foundation of knowledge. A wealthy mind is not one that closes off and doesn't listen or consider other perspectives. While I agree there are ground rules you need to set for what you're willing to accept in a friend, I talk about why I've branched out as far as I have and how we all need to be a little more respectful of differences and their sources versus thinking that someone different from you is bad.
