EP91 - Political Stress and Relationships

Politics can be a taboo topic to discuss, with dissonance in views potentially creating stress, dissonance, relationship discord, and relationship cutoffs. But does it really have to be this way? We don’t think so! We are here to shine light on the topic and help you avoid getting swept up in political stress and toxicity.

Join us as we offer guidance to buffer your mental health, relationships, and overall well-being from the potential negative impacts of political stress. We all hold deeply seeded values, likely influencing how we vote and the political views we hold. But, we also hold the ability to choose how these things impact us and our relationships. You can overcome differences, and we are here to help!
