What happens when common sense is common, but just not helpful? What happens when social standards and thought processes leave you stuck? It’s time for a new way of thinking… it’s time for Divergent Sense. Divergent means different, varying, or dissimilar. Divergent Sense is taking a different look at something to gain a fresh perspective and having viewpoints that are dissimilar to that which we know as “common”. This podcast was created to offer alternative opinions on topics ranging from life’s everyday challenges all the way through much more complex topics as well.
