EP 579: On Empathy and Expectation

Today, I’m trying something a little different! I broke today’s episode into two segments. In the first segment, I talk about the fact that today is Suicide Prevention Day and how mindfulness and compassion can empower you to help someone else - or maybe you! - to see another option. And in the second segment, I talk about how we can turn natural and automatic anticipation into forced and emotional expectation and what happens when we do. Watch/Listen here: If you or someone in your life has expressed that suicide seems to be the answer, please know that there are always other options that you may not be able to see right now. But the best thing you can do is to first talk to someone.
