Ep 156: Sympathy vs empathy vs empaths + how to avoid pity


Listen Later

Four weeks ago I'd have told you I'm deeply empathetic.

I still am! But I've been humbled as to how much I can declare that in scenarios in which I truly have never walked a similar path.

It's rare we have "overnight change" moments. When they happen we get a clear vision of a before and after of ourselves.

Today we'll chat about:

  • The difference between sympathy, empathy, and being an empath.
  • Why pity feels gross and how we shift to a much better feeling. (Whether they're feeling it towards you, or you to them.)
  • The 4 H's to know your role in supporting someone. (I love an easy to remember hack!)
  • And the #1 thing I implore you to start doing when people ask how you're doing. 🙏🏻
