78: Why the World Feels So Divided - The Real Reason We’ve Lost Compassion

This episode is inspired by recent, saddening events. We live in a world that pushes us toward black-and-white thinking, good or bad, right or wrong, us versus them. But if you want to have a real impact, it starts with something most of us resist: keeping your heart open in the moments you most want to close it.In this episode, I share openly about processing anger, what it really means to speak your truth, and how change starts with the conversations you’re avoiding in your own life.You’ll hear me talk about:Why anger and judgment never create the change we wantWhat it takes to speak your truth with courage, even when it costs youThe hidden cost of silencing yourself to be acceptedHow closed hearts fuel division—and what happens when we choose nuance insteadWhere you can actually start making a positive impact (hint: it’s closer than you think)💌Share your story - Book your FREE BFPA* Support Call with me🌟Download your FREE Guide to Stop Skin Picking Using Somatics📝FREE Holistic Skin Picking & Hair Pulling Assessment - (this is no longer available.
