With political tensions at a new peak, the pressure to take a stand — or keep the peace — can be intense. But how do you know the difference between the move that feels right and the one that is right?

In our first episode after a long break, Mónica, a liberal, talks with her conservative friend and fellow bridge builder April Lawson about what it takes to know what’s truly yours to do at this moment. Drawing on ideas from people who’ve seen the best and worst of humanity, along with their own struggles to navigate what feels like an increasingly scary world, Moni and April explore how to step out of the heat long enough to ask: 
How do I avoid using "peacemaking" as a cover for a lack of courage?
What's the line between humanizing someone … and enabling them? 
When it comes to division in my community, my family, and my country: What will I wish I had done when my grandchildren ask what I did?
