Between the reversal of Roe and the Jan. 6 hearings, it’s been a wild few weeks. We’re all experiencing big feelings right now, and the tendency to lash out – or retreat into silence – is hard to overcome. But Sarah Stewart Holland believes there is another way, though she admits it’s a difficult path to walk. Sarah, along with her business partner Beth Silvers, host the Pantsuit Politics podcast, where they engage in thoughtful, empathetic conversations about the issues we face today. In our conversation, Sarah is honest about how difficult it can be to ask questions and really listen to other people’s opinions and experiences, but how it’s absolutely crucial to living in a democracy – and making the change you want to see.
