In this episode I address whether or not I believe empathy is a sign of weakness. Or "weak parenting." Elon Musk has been in the news saying "the fundamental weakness of western civilization is Empathy." However I think it's one of the biggest strengths for humanity.

When we can SEE each other, when we can seek to understand each other we are in fact stronger. Both personally and as a nation.

I invite you to listen and think about how you were shown empathy as a child and how that's impacted your ability to show empathy as a parent. And if you're ready to start shifting towards empathy.
