About today’s guest, Mark Anthony Lord: Mark is a versatile and accomplished spiritual leader who has made a significant impact in both the arts and spirituality. His illustrious career began as a professional choreographer and director, including a notable three-year tenure at Disney, and he has since honed his spiritual acumen through studying with some of the most revered spiritual teachers, such as Michael Beckwith, Marianne Williamson, Gay & Katie Hendricks, and Byron Katie.

Mark’s passion for spiritual awakening led him to ordination as a Minister, and he has gone on to found two successful spiritual communities. The Bodhi Spiritual Center in Chicago, which grew from a handful of members to thousands under his leadership, and Living The Course, a virtual, global ACIM community that he transformed into a 7-figure business in under three years.

Today I talk about empathy, my feelings on it, and how it relates to grief (including how to talk to someone who's grieving!), referencing Brené Brown's incredible advice. According to her, empathy has 4 main parts:

1. Taking the other person's perspective

2. Staying out of judgment

3. Recognizing the emotion in the other person

4. And then communicating that to them

And another hot tip...empathy almost NEVER starts with the words "at least..."

"Empathy is not connecting to an experience, its connecting to the emotions that underpin an experience"
