50. I got to the point where I just didn't even want to consume the news anymore - Julie Rose

Outrage Overload

Why Embracing Complexity and Nuance is Critical for Personal Growth and Informed Decision-Making

We sit down with Julie Rose, host of the Top of Mind podcast, to explore her journey from feeling overwhelmed by the negativity in the news to fostering thoughtful, nuanced conversations. Julie shares how she broke free from the media’s tendency to oversimplify and polarize issues, focusing instead on curiosity and complexity.

Tune in to hear Julie’s practical strategies for staying informed without burning out—like setting time limits, diving deeper into topics that matter, and seeking out diverse viewpoints. She also discusses the surprising benefits of engaging in meaningful dialogue with people you disagree with, and how this can lead to stronger, more well-rounded perspectives.

If you're looking for ways to navigate today’s media landscape with more mindfulness and less outrage, this episode is for you!
