- How to listen without trying to win. (22.04.2026)
In this episode we explore how to navigate difficult conversations and have more constructive interactions around divisive issues - whether with friends, family, or even strangers online. Why do disagreements escalate so quickly? Is it possible to truly listen without agreeing? And can better conversations help bridge deep divides?
Joining us to unpack these questions is Gabrielle Rifkind, a group analyst, psychotherapist, international conflict resolution specialist, and author of How to Agree to Disagree: From Conflict to Connection. Gabrielle shares practical tools to help us listen more deeply, communicate with clarity and compassion, and move beyond the idea that every conflict must have a winner and a loser.

- Can we really change people's minds? (15.04.2026)
In this episode, we’re asking a simple but powerful question: why do we believe what we believe?

Together, we explore how our minds respond to new information, the role of bias and identity in shaping our views, and why staying curious - rather than combative - can change the way we approach disagreement.
