How tightly do we grip our core beliefs and values, and why do we provide any room for intellectual curiosity? How often do we seek to understand individuals and viewpoints that are radically different from our own? How did we come to our version of certain knowledge, and what does it really cost us to consider different perspectives and opinions? These questions make up the backbone of this podcast, and I hope today's conversation pushes us all out of our comfort zone and foregone conclusions.
Kacee was born in a country that no longer exists. She came to the United States at eight years old when her mother became a mail-order bride. She has a unique perspective on mental health as she has been arrested and held in prison and mental institutions in multiple countries. Kacee also runs a nonprofit called Nomad Alliance that works closely with the homeless population. A talented writer, she talks about the book she is writing, discusses declining empires, and leads us in a brief meditation.
Also, beginning with this episode, Kacee and I both invite you to join our conversation by posting questions and comments on the new Facebook community page of Strangers You Know.
