What happens to faith when the unimaginable happens? In this powerful and heartfelt episode, we sit down with Minister Elder Empress, who opens up about her faith journey after the devastating loss of her son. Together, we explore the sacred and often silent struggles of motherhood—mom guilt, generational trauma, identity, and the unbearable weight of grief. She shares how leaning into faith and cultivating a healthy belief system became her lifeline—a source of purpose, resilience, and a way to reframe even the darkest moments. This conversation is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the healing that can come from surrender, belief, and community.

Rebecca brings thoughtful insights into what’s fueling this polarization, from cognitive dissonance and fear to the breakdown of meaningful communication. Together, we unpack how individual citizens can take small but impactful steps toward bridging the divide, fostering unity, and building a more harmonious society.

We dive into the tough questions: How do we have unifying conversations in such a tense environment? What does it take to truly listen to — and understand — those we may not agree with? And how can we find common ground without compromising our values?

Whether you're politically active or just trying to make sense of the world around you, this episode offers a refreshing, hopeful, and grounded perspective on how we move forward — together.
