Beyond the Echo Chamber: Staying Informed Not Just Outraged

In this episode, Kari and Lisa dive into a conversation many of us feel but rarely name: how easy it is to slip into information bubbles without even realizing it. They explore what happens when our news feeds narrow, our assumptions harden, and the algorithms learn us a little too well — and they offer a refreshing, compassionate look at how to stay informed without losing ourselves in outrage or overwhelm. With practical tools, surprising research, personal stories, and a few gentle invitations to stretch beyond our comfort zones, this episode is all about cultivating curiosity, discernment, and a more grounded relationship with the media we consume. It's not about politics — it's about awareness, agency, and choosing the wider lens. Tune in for an honest, energizing reminder that we can all break out of the echo chamber and reconnect with nuance, complexity, and each other.
