Why empathy is a POWER move!
from Powerful Stuff · host Meredith Baker
In a moment when everything feels so divided-politics, communities, even friend groups-empathy might feel like a fragile hope. But I believe it’s one of the most powerful things we have.In this episode, I reflect on what’s been happening here in LA, with immigration raids and rising fear, and why choosing to stay curious, to ask questions, and to really listen matters more than ever. I share some of the little things I do to seek out stories different from my own...and how that practice keeps my heart open, even when it’s hard.This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about remembering that everyone has a story. And the more we make space for those stories, the more human we all get to be.If you’ve been feeling heart-heavy or unsure of how to engage with everything going on… this is for you.
