Summary

It’s election season here in the U.S, y’all, and we’re all trying to navigate the hot topics of the day and how to approach divisive conversations with grace…. and Ashlee Eiland’s latest book, Say Good: Speaking Across Hot Topics, Complex Relationships, and Tense Situations, is just what we need right now. The holidays are coming too, and I know that can stir up complicated feelings and family dynamics and all the things. Ashlee is going to be our guide into gracefully walking with people even when we don’t agree with them. This is such a needed conversation, and I think you’re really going to love this one. . . . .
