We’re back, and thank you for joining us once again! We took a break over the summer to recharge, regroup, and spend a little time with our families, and we’re so excited that we’ll again be bringing you thought-provoking and meaningful conversations, as we dive into some new topics on the podcast. 

We’ve both really missed having these conversations and we feel, more than ever, that helping people know how they can approach these topics with others is really needed, and we’ll be doing our own work as we continue on this path with you as well. 

In this episode, you’ll hear how there is an opportunity right now, and especially over the next few weeks leading up to the midterm elections in the U.S., to get curious about the information being presented and think about where you are getting it from. Look for some different resources and perspectives, and see if you can come away with a balanced approach to deciding who is best for your local community, your state, and the nation as we move forward. So, get involved, because now is not the time to sit on the sidelines! 

We have an exciting new segment debuting today where we highlight people who we refer to as “Models of Respect”, and who demonstrate the values of Respect Circles that we promote here and that inspire both of us each and every day. If you have someone you’d like to suggest for this segment and we can feature in an upcoming episode, go to our website, https://respectcircles.com/ and let us know who that person is and why you feel they are such a good role model for others.

Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram and Facebook, and we’d really appreciate you leaving a review on your favorite podcast platform to let us know what you’re enjoying about this show. You can also go to https://www.respectcircles.com/voicemail/ to leave us a message and you can also reach us by email, respectcircles@gmail.com to give us your thoughts. 

Again, we’re so happy to be back having these conversations, and we’re looking forward to bringing you another topic and episode very soon.
