Empathy vs. Sympathy: What’s the Difference and How to Manage Empathy Without Burnout
What’s the real difference between empathy and sympathy—and why does it matter in everyday life? In this episode of Rollin With the Dolans, Patrick and Tamekia get real about the emotional challenges of caring deeply, especially when you're a parent, spouse, entrepreneur, or just someone who feels everything.
We explore:
- What empathy really means (and how it's different from sympathy)
- Why empathy can be both a gift and a burden
- How to set healthy boundaries without shutting people out
- The role of faith in protecting your emotional health
- Real-life stories from work, parenting, and marriage
If you've ever felt emotionally drained from carrying other people’s pain—or confused about what to do with your big heart—this one’s for you.
🙏 Stay grounded, stay kind, and stay rollin’.
🎙️ Subscribe for more real conversations on life, love, family, and faith.
