Staying Open In A Hostile World

Welcome to another episode of Inner Archeology, and today we'll be tackling a topic that might ruffle a few feathers but fits just right with what's currently happening online.

We live in a world where hostility has been unleashed. A society where the system wants us divided into Red and Blue, Vaxed and Anti-Vaxed, community members versus law enforcement, Roe V. Wade, Black versus White. Everywhere you turn, there is something that puts one group against the other. But the truth is, hatred can not defeat hate. Which is why today, we'll try to change the story and help people lead with love and halt this strange march toward destruction that we’re currently on.

Tune in to learn why it's not a good use of your time or energy to argue with people online. Discover how you can stay hopeful in the face of hostility and make a difference by creating less drama, conflict, suffering, anxiety, and pain.
