Why Does It Feel So Good to Hate?

  • Summary

  • Why do we like to villanize people who think and believe differently than us? This is something you might be wondering as we creep toward November 5th. In this thought-provoking episode of New Mexico Momcast, hosts Vanessa and Becca dive into intellectual hospitality— the art of showing compassion, understanding, and curiosity towards those with differing beliefs. In a world increasingly divided, particularly in the political realm, the duo explores why it's often easier to embrace hostility than empathy. They reflect on the challenges of teaching kindness in such a polarized climate as individuals and as mothers raising the next generation. Listen in for a candid discussion about navigating differences with grace, and cultivating a more compassionate world for our children.
