In this episode, Toks explores how the meaning we assign to life’s events shapes our emotions and reality. Using the recent LA fires as an example, she highlights the universal nature of emotions, regardless of circumstances, and shares how shifting perspectives can inspire empathy and personal growth.

Toks reflects on the human tendency to attach judgments- good or bad- to events, and how our interpretation, rather than the event itself, is often the cause of our pain. By learning to separate situations from the emotions they evoke, we create room for empathy and personal growth.
