I think it would be fair to say that we live in a very divisive time right now. Not only do so many people have opposing opinions about a lot of topics, from anything like childrearing to face masks to politics, but due to our technology based world, those opinions are easily shared in ways that have never been possible before.
Of course it's important to be able to express yourself and to have your preferences, but unfortunately instead of bringing us together or just being interesting, the barrage of opinions are tearing a lot of people apart instead. Children are suffering with bullying, teenagers are being ostracized, and adults are lashing out or ending relationships, all in response to other people's opinions.
Thankfully, just because you are more aware of other people's opinions, doesn't mean they have to be so challenging. There is a much better way to navigate the tricky waters we're all in, where other people's points of view are much more visible, and in our own line of sight.
This week on The CPA MOMS Podcast I discuss how to handle other people's opinions of you, as well as how to handle other people's opinions of everything else.
