The Ben & Jamesa Podcast: Conversations about Compassion, Curiosity, and Courage

Ep. 154: Do We Need to Have Empathy? (Openhearted Living Part 3)


Listen Later

What does it mean to truly feel with someone else? In this episode of The Ben and Jamesa Podcast, we explore empathy—not as a skill or a moral obligation, but as a living, sometimes fragile experience. We talk about how it grows across our lives, when it can feel heavy or conflicted, and how it connects—or sometimes fails to connect—to compassion. This episode is an invitation to notice your own experiences of empathy and to explore how connection shows up in both subtle and profound ways.
