Civility Rules!

Being civil in this kind of world is respecting others, being empathetic, being compassionate, and so much more. 10 years ago Shelby started her journey towards turning everyone civil. She started writing exclusively about political civility and went from there. Shelby found that she could not find much political civil common ground, as the government is not designed to allow much civility if people disagree. Bernadette brought up the topic of the past presidential debate, where our country was humiliated. We the people were publicly disrespected by both sides, as no one won the debate that night, but someone lost. Us. An aspect of being civil is trying to understand other people's point of view and experiences.Intelectual humility is when we come to the table saying we have so much self esteem that we can promote a point of view, but we still believe that we could be wrong. We need to find that teeter totter in the middle where we can listen to learn. Things change and go out of style, but being courteous never will. The best way to understand one another is to ask clarifying questions. Humility isn't thinking less of ourselves, but thinking of ourselves less. Disagreement is how we achieve the goals of issues. Be civil!

The Truths and Myths About Dysfunctional Relationships

Dysfunction in relationships is more negativity than positivity. There is often a lot of high tensions, gaslighting, high ego, and fragility in relationships that are dysfunctional. Bernadette brings up that it is hard to be in a relationship with someone who is a narcissist. Bernadette says that she has never cheated in a relationship but she never will judge someone else. We never know what is going on behind closed doors, so we can not judge. Dysfunctional relationships are often tumultuous with very high highs and very low lows. To find out if your relationship is dysfunctional, be sure to listen to both of Von's segments!
