EPISODE 1

It is a human reflex to feel numb. We’ve all felt it. Powerless. Paralyzed. Desensitized. So many intense emotions boiling inside you—unable to escape—but suppressed to a sour cooling point. Crowded by so many issues of such significant scale, today’s young Americans feel helpless as they are guided by the hand of quietism, passivity, and normalization. 
Mary Hanna and Melody Arnst, from the Meta Peace Team, hope to halt this cycle of normalization and detail their first-hand experience with conflict management in this fpodcast.
