In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode of The Motion of Gratitude Podcast, Shannon Missimer sits down with empathy advocate and bestselling author Mimi Nicklin, founder of the world’s most far-reaching empathy training platform. From Fortune 500 boardrooms to global community spaces, Mimi is on a mission to reconnect one million people through empathy—and this conversation is a powerful part of that ripple.

Together, Shannon and Mimi explore:

• Why we’re living in the most disconnected era in human history—and what we can do about it
• The difference between connection and reconnection
• How empathy impacts workplace performance, psychological safety, and innovation
• The neuroscience of empathy and how stress blocks our ability to connect
• The overlap between gratitude, presence, and self-empathy
• How listening-led leadership creates trust, impact, and authentic influence
• What it really takes to live your mission in a noisy, fast-paced world

Mimi shares the science, the stories, and the simple (but not always easy) practices that help us come back to ourselves and each other. Whether you’re a leader, educator, parent, or simply someone yearning for more meaning and connection, this episode is for you.
