Innate Empathy (Part 1)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why do some people naturally put themselves in someone else's shoes... while others seem completely unable to?
In Part 1 of this conversation, we're unpacking the idea of innate empathy. Is empathy something we're born with, or is it shaped by our experiences? And why do some people seem to feel everything, while others struggle to understand perspectives outside their own?
We also unpack the unexpected lessons from a family wedding in Montreal. How getting older means realizing you're not everyone's cup of tea... and that's actually a good thing. What if the goal isn't to be liked by everyone, but to be comfortable enough to simply exist as yourself?
It's a conversation about empathy, people-pleasing, growing up, and finally giving yourself permission to just be.
