"Becoming Restoried" with Michael McRay

This episode brings home many of the topics we discussed over the past two seasons. Conflict consultant and award-winning author Michael McRay has traveled to Israel, Palestine, Northern Ireland, and Africa studying conflict and resolution. These experiences inspired Michael to build his own company, Becoming Restoried, which uses the power of story to make meaning, heal harm, and repair relationships. Michael takes us around the world, sharing his personal interviews with people who were deeply divided but came together despite all odds. Michael also opens up about his own journey of finding peace with himself, which inspired his life’s work. Links to Michael’s work and his TEDx Talk are below.

"The Possible" with Former Senator George Mitchell

It’s been an eventful month in Northern Ireland. I was fortunate to be in Belfast as the region celebrated 25 years with the Good Friday peace agreement. The politics in Northern Ireland today are far from perfect, but sectarian violence has decreased significantly with about 164 security-related deaths in the past 25 years. This is a dramatic shift from the 3,500 deaths during the 30-year span of the Troubles. Northern Ireland is still deeply divided, but despite their differences, many political leaders gathered in one room at Queen’s University Belfast over a three-day period to directly address these divides. Architects and brokers of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement also took the stage to explain the importance of listening and finding common ground. The keynote speaker, Former U.S. Senator George Mitchell, has been described as the glue that held leaders from different political parties together during the 1998 Good Friday peace talks. After three years with no public appearances, Mitchell gave an address that brought nearly everyone on their feet as applause echoed throughout the historic hall, which had its own history of conflict and questionable completion during World War II. At 89 years old battling acute leukemia, Mitchell could have appeared remotely. But the power of his presence as a leader in both the U.S. and Northern Ireland spoke volumes. This episode features highlights of George Mitchell’s historic speech. A link to George Mitchell’s full speech can be found here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xuno4MP6O8&t=2871s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xuno4MP6O8&t=2871s</a> *Special thanks to Queen’s University Belfast for their continuing support and for allowing me to cover the “Agreement 25” events.

How to Connect Across the Political Divide with Tania Israel

Hi everyone! I’m so glad you're joining us this month. The conversation you’re about to hear is a follow up on our last episode, Finding Common Ground Despite our Differences.  Have you ever talked with someone who continued to spread information that just isn’t true? I definitely have, and it can be frustrating, especially when it happens on social media. My frustration reached a peak in 2020 when we were locked down and only communicating online. I searched high and low for ways to confront these disinformation dilemmas. Thankfully I found psychologist and UC Santa Barbara Professor Tania Israel. Listening to this conversation with Tania again reminded me that reaching across the political divide and finding common ground are skills we need to constantly remind ourselves of and practice often. There's so much to glean from Tania's tips and takeaways. I can't wait for you to join our conversation.  Thank you as always for listening!
