Instarerelease!! Wisely Approaching Hard Conversations: A Discussion of Mass Shootings, Guns, and Mental Health After Uvalde, Texas

!!This episode is being re-released because Matt accidentally released the wrong file for Spotify Users. So extra listen for some of you and a fixing of an error for the rest! Sorry if it was an extra something but ultimately a yada yada yawn yawn for those Spotify Users who tried!!

Matt sits down with Kiki, a professor, yoga instructor, Vipassana practitioner, and family member. We seek to explore the intersection of wisdom, relationships, and hard conversations about sensitive topics. We begin by framing the conversation by discussing some skills useful to such conversations – Walking the Middle Path, Validation, and Mindfulness of Emotion. Then we actually have a radically genuine, hard conversation as we rdiscuss the horrors of Uvalde, Texas just 24 hours after the shooting took place (15:37). We end the episode by discussing wisdom using the Self Assessed Wisdom Scale (SAWS; 61:36). Please take care while listening.
