Ep 156: Sympathy vs empathy vs empaths + how to avoid pity
Listen now
Description
Four weeks ago I’d have told you I’m deeply empathetic.   I still am! But I’ve been humbled as to how much I can declare that in scenarios in which I truly have never walked a similar path.   It’s rare we have “overnight change” moments. When they happen we get a clear vision of a before and after of ourselves.   Today we’ll chat about:   The difference between sympathy, empathy, and being an empath. Why pity feels gross and how we shift to a much better feeling. (Whether they’re feeling it towards you, or you to them.) The 4 H’s to know your role in supporting someone. (I love an easy to remember hack!) And the #1 thing I implore you to start doing when people ask how you’re doing. 🙏🏻 Links in this episode:   IG post about Aaron’s accident GoFundMe to support Aaron’s recover journey Mama of a daughter in a wheelchair, LittleMissMiggy Ep 17: Am I doing self-love wrong?
