Reality Check My Life | Bonus Snack | E58: The Compassion Hijacker (When ‘Checking In’ Is Just Emotional Clickbait)You ever get one of those “just checking in” messages that start out warm and end with you wondering if you accidentally became the therapist for someone else’s drama?Welcome to The Compassion Hijacker Olympics — and Gin’s taking gold.In this sharp, soul-honest episode, Gin breaks down the difference between checking in and checking out emotionally, and how performative empathy has become the new emotional clickbait. With wit, sacred irreverence, and a few spiritual cameos from Ram Das, Alan Watts, and George Carlin, she explores what happens when kindness becomes currency and connection turns into a transaction.If you’ve ever been the empath who keeps getting drafted into other people’s healing without consent — this one’s your permission slip to hang a sign on your soul that says:“Closed for renovations. Try compassion again later.”🎶 Original Theme Song Lyrics: Rev.
