In this timely episode, I am grateful to introduce to you Julie Rose, a veteran journalist with a diverse background and a story with an interesting twist. Julie recounts her evolution from burnout caused by divisive news reporting to creating her shows 'Top of Mind' and 'Uncomfy,' which focus on complexity and nuance in journalism.

The episode explores the importance of mindful media consumption, recognizing media biases, and embracing empathy and critical thinking. Listeners are encouraged to thoroughly research news, consider diverse perspectives, and become informed voters, particularly focusing on local elections. Additionally, Julie's inspiring stories, such as Bobby Love's transformation, highlight the power of personal narratives in reshaping media consumption and fostering understanding in a polarized world.
