Hey, this is Derey and we're going to post it if you want this episode.

It's me, Brittany Clinton, Sam, as usual with the news.

And then I sit down with Mercer Brown, around who has actually been on the podcast before

a while ago.

She was here to talk to us about postal banking and Senator Gillard Brand's team heard

that episode and then she introduced a piece of legislation into Congress from that episode

with Mercer and she is back because she's our resident expert on all things related to

the wealth gap about what we do about inequity with regard to wealth and what we do moving

forward.

Now the advice for this week comes from a conversation I open on our best friends and he

has a three-year-old and a two-year-old and he was talking about Sesame Street this season

is all about your emotions and it has created a common language in their house about frustration

and sadness and happiness in a way that he hadn't even anticipated but because they're all

home together.

His three-year-old can now be like, what's your emotion daddy?

And he was like, it actually has been really powerful to see and it made me think about how

with some of the people that we're closest to, we don't have a common language for how we discuss

our emotions, how we share the stories that matter the most to us, how we share our most

intimate feelings, the things that we love, the things that hurt us and it is a reminder to

that so much of the work of being in relationship with other people is about acknowledging

our own feelings and then also figuring out how we communicate those feelings to other people

and also making sure that we listen when people do the same with us.
