I have missed you Monica!!! Thank you and Braver Angels…you encourage me to be part of the healing!
This series has been heartening over the past year. My only complaint is that I’d like to listen to more new episodes for 2025! ❤️
As someone who works in the space around, trying to prevent terrorism and targeted violence prevention space, I’ve found this podcast invaluable. It’s been a great tool for hearing ways we can talk to each other to better understand each other and prevent conflict. Thank you so much for this incredible resource!
I am so grateful for this podcast. When I am feeling lost and unmoored, I can turn to A Braver Way and hear kindness and compassion from all sides of the political divide. Monica is absolutely incredible. As a fellow Bowdoin alum, I am so appreciative of her curiosity and courage, going where few journalists or thinkers dare to go- into the abyss. And she helps anyone who listens to her to navigate this space, imperfect and messy, real and beautiful. Thank you for this gift.
