To help listeners navigate the chaotic information landscape, Sharon shares her valuable news hygiene recommendations so you can read the news in a way that keeps you informed without losing your mind or feeling overwhelmed. Plus, Sharon McMahon shares her insightful perspective on why she believes the majority of people are feeling exhausted and are craving something other than the constant polarization that seems to dominate our conversations today.
