• The Learning Space: Embracing Frustration for Growth in Life and Politics

  In episode 114, we talk about the Learning Space. Have you ever been in that frustrating place where you want to understand something, but you just… don’t? Where your brain is stuck between “not knowing” and “knowing,” and all you want to do is quit? Well, according to Dr. Becky Kennedy, that frustration isn’t a sign that you’re failing—it’s a sign that you’re learning. And today, we’re talking about why that matters—not just for personal growth, but for politics, society, and the way we navigate tough conversations.Resources* Dr. Becky’s Original Post* Good Inside - Dr. Becky Kennedy* Wikipedia - Becky Kennedy* Sharon McMahon’s Post About The Learning Space* ‫Overcoming Guilt & Building Tenacity with Kids & Adults | Dr. Becky Kennedy* (2:46:00 - 3:03:00)* The Messy, Beautiful Truth About Resilience with Dr. Becky Kennedy* The art of political persuasion — Harvard GazetteConnect with USS:* Substack* InstagramThis episode was edited by Kevin Tanner.
