The Depolarization Podcast

Can two friends disagree with empathy? Baltazar and Ela don't always agree, yet they both want to connect. Each episode they dig into the topics that divide people — politics, culture, society — and share what genuinely triggers them trying to actually understand where the other is coming to show what it looks like to disagree with empathy. Each episode explores what it really takes to listen, disagree well, and find shared humanity in a polarized world using tools from Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Ela Ramos is a licensed psychotherapist and certified Nonviolent Communication trainer. She lives in the US and has been practicing NVC for over 20 years and she offers workshops, trainings and coaching to improve communication and empathy skills.
