About this episode
How would you like to be judged for the rest of your life by the worst thing you’ve ever done?
Robin Steinberg was a public defender, where she had to learn to see her clients – who were often accused of heinous crimes – as human.
The lessons she has learned about how to find compassion for people with whom we vehemently disagree are absolutely essential for this divided world.
This is… A Bit of Optimism.
