Summary

It's an intense time in our country and the world right now, and caring deeply about what's happening can sometimes pull us into self-righteousness without us realizing it. On this episode, I talk about the difference between self-righteousness and healthy conviction, why self-righteousness is so tempting during challenging times (in the world, at work, and in life), and how we can stay grounded in our values without hardening, disconnecting, or losing our humanity.
