The Cult of Self-Love: How Culture Is Keeping Women Weak | Allie Beth Stuckey

Is empathy actually hurting your health, family, and faith?


In today’s thought-provoking episode of The Dr. Josh Axe Show, we dive into one of the most misunderstood cultural values of our time: empathy. Dr. Axe sits down with Allie Beth Stuckey — bestselling author of Toxic Empathy, host of the popular Relatable podcast, and a leading Christian voice on culture and truth. Together, they expose how unchecked empathy can lead to destructive choices, manipulation, and even societal harm.


Is empathy always good? Or can it blind us to truth, compromise our convictions, and negatively impact our health? Get ready for a bold, eye-opening conversation.


In this episode, you’ll learn:


  • The surprising difference between empathy and compassion — and why it matters
  • How toxic empathy is being used to manipulate women, parents, and entire communities
  • The health consequences of being led by emotions instead of truth
  • What the Bible actually says about love, truth, and boundaries
  • Why gender-affirming surgeries and permissive parenting are driven by toxic empathy — and the dangerous impact on children
  • How progressive “self-love” culture is fueling anxiety, depression, and confusion among women
  • Why Christians and church leaders must confront cultural lies with clarity and courage

  • If you’ve ever wondered why our culture seems more confused and anxious than ever — and how you can protect your family and faith from deceptive narratives — this episode is for you.


    Tune in and walk away with biblical truth, clarity, and practical wisdom for living with strength in today’s emotionally charged world.
