Send us a text

What is empathy, anyway? And how empathetic are we as a society?

Now more than ever, we are a world divided. This division often leads to disconnect and misunderstandings. But it doesn't have to be that way.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

The role of empathy in deepening connections with others
How compassionate inquiry fosters understanding in difficult conversations
The difference between sharing your narrative and asking someone about theirs
How our own biases can hinder true empathy and emotional growth
The three types of empathizers: cognitive, highly sensitive, and true empaths
How emotional intelligence is tied to empathy and the willingness to hear multiple perspectives
The power of kindness, compassion, and listening in fostering connection
Challenge for the Week
Take time this week to have a conversation where you lead with curiosity instead of assumption. Ask someone, “Can you help me better understand your perspective on this?” See where the conversation leads, and notice how it impacts your relationship.
