In this episode, we explore From Self-Care to We-Care by Jordan Quaglia, a transformative book that introduces the concept of "we-care"—an integrated, science-backed approach to connecting self-care with caring for others. Drawing on wisdom from Indigenous cultures, contemplative traditions, anthropology, and neuroscience, Quaglia challenges the modern mindset that sees self-care and other-care as separate or conflicting.

The book argues that this "divided" perspective often leads to burnout, emotional fatigue, and ineffective helping, while a we-care approach fosters resilience, compassion, and meaningful connection. With practical exercises and evidence-based strategies, Quaglia helps readers cultivate mindful boundaries, bridge the empathy-compassion gap, and understand how both personal and societal influences shape our capacity to care. This episode reveals how practicing we-care can lead to better emotional well-being and create ripple effects that positively transform communities and society at large.

Key Takeaways:

• What "we-care" means and why it matters more than ever

• The neuroscience and cultural roots of interconnected care

• How to overcome the empathy-compassion gap and avoid burnout

• Practical tools to strengthen compassionate, mindful boundaries

• The societal impact of integrating self-care with other-care
