How to Handle the Pandemic Division

Erika Cramer
About this episode

I live in Melbourne, the most locked-down city in the world. It’s been hard and strange and a wild ride that’s for sure.

Whatever your thoughts are on lockdowns or vaccines or any of that, I wanted to have a conversation about what to do when you don’t agree with someone. 

People are losing their friendships, jobs, and family relationships over disagreements about this topic. 

We have to learn how to truly understand each other, even when we disagree. 

This is so important to me because we are living as people divided -  not because of covid, but because we don’t know how to disagree. 

Everyone has an opinion about the best course of action when it comes to the best course of action and everyone is right.

Try to catch yourself making judgements about others. Reflect on WHY you react the way you do. Why are you getting triggered?

When we come from a place of compassion and kindness in our conversations, we can begin to repair the disconnection and separation in our world. 

It’s possible to hold space for people who disagree with us and still be kind.
