Last week, I shared a quote from Mark Groves on Instagram about reconciling our differences, especially in the context of voting and politics. Unsurprisingly, the responses varied—some resonated deeply, while others disagreed.

And that's okay because it brought to light a truth I've been reflecting on all week: Love and understanding aren't conditional. They're not reserved for those who agree with us or share our worldview. Every single person is worthy of compassion, regardless of their background or beliefs.

In today's episode, you'll walk away with a simple question that will transform how you approach your relationships with friends, family members, or anyone with different views and opinions.

This simple but powerful mindset shift will help you understand where they're coming from and empower you to show up with empathy, love, and understanding, even in the most challenging interactions. In a world that often feels very divided, this can help us create a ripple effect of kindness and understanding when it's needed most.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Seeing the world through unconditional love changes everything
Everyone’s fighting their own battles, even if you can’t see them
When someone’s being harsh, that’s when they need kindness the most
People aren’t inherently good or bad - it all comes down to their choices
Love won’t fix everything, but it works wonders for the struggles inside you
