Undivided Episode 29 - The Power of Words with Michelle Madden

Undivided is a podcast series which focuses on breaking down societal barriers and societal messaging which serves to alienate people. The goal of the program is to unite people in harmony, respect, and peace. The next episode will look at the power of words and the power of listening to help make people feel validated and valued. 

The words we use are powerful and they can build each other up or break each other down. The way in which words are used are crucial to breaking down societal divisions and discord. My special guest will be Michelle Madden.
