Well, well, well. Sometimes things do NOT go as planned! I had recorded this episode middle of December of 2024 - but then my grandmother passed away and I had to take a couple emergency trips to DC, my assistant had a mental breakdown and suddenly left the country, the fires in LA hit as soon as I got back from DC and then 47 was inaugurated and it's been a bit chaotic in my mind and life lately! Anyway, I figured I'd get this episode to y'all anyway because even though it seems a little out of time right now with no recognition of anything that's happened since mid-December, it's still relevant! Stay tuned as we're getting our wheels greased and turning for weekly (or more) episodes now and going forward! In this episode, I reflect on 10 things I'm proud of from 2024, share 3 challenges from the year and 5 things Im excited about for 2025. It's a fun practice to try out for yourself! Take a listen.

We're living in a divided world where half the country believes one set of facts while the other half believes an entirely different one. Sumi delves into this pressing issue of misinformation in light of recent election results, emphasizing the urgent need to counter disinformation with empathy and understanding. She introduces a powerful communication strategy called the Truth Sandwich, which helps navigate difficult discussions without resorting to conflict or defensiveness. This approach encourages finding common ground and questioning the motives behind misinformation rather than directly attacking falsehoods. Ultimately, Sumi calls for a collective commitment to love and trust one another, fostering a society where we can agree on shared realities and work towards a better future together.
