Ep. 3 Pt.1 | We're Not That Different

Part 1: We're Not That Different What if the lie keeping us divided isn't our differences, but the belief that there are only two sides? Crystal and Cynthia pick up where We Were Never Meant to Fit In left off, digging into how social media trained us to see anyone who disagrees as the enemy. They talk about "bread and games," the loneliness epidemic, and how online bullying grew up right along with us. Cynthia shares what she saw in New York City after 9/11, when strangers finally looked each other in the eye, and Crystal reflects on her own "personal pandemic" years before 2020 and the community that rallied after Hurricane Ian. They also get honest about the hard part: how do you hold a boundary without becoming judge, jury, and executioner? From a three day cool-off rule to asking "what if this were my kids?", this conversation is about choosing curiosity over the need to be right. And it ends on a question worth sitting with: what if the people who trigger you most are pointing to something unresolved in you?
