0:00.0 | Have you ever been in the middle of an argument and felt like you couldn't find your way out? |
0:05.0 | Like you're trapped in some cycle of conflicting opinions and stubborn positions, not knowing how to escape. Maybe it's with a coworker, a family member, or |
0:16.5 | even a stranger online. The exhausting back and forth where nobody seems to give an inch can leave you wondering if there's a way to |
0:25.2 | find common ground without giving up what you believe in. |
0:28.8 | I'm going to be honest, I've always been pretty opinionated and I've justified this because well I do a lot of research |

1:20.3 | one day it hit me that I don't actually know where she stands on most of those issues. |
1:26.0 | But I don't feel like I don't know her. |
1:29.0 | Quite the opposite, actually. |

1:35.6 | comes up isn't a political party or a movement that she's for or against. What I |
