    What if the problem isn't that moms are failing—but that we've built systems that quietly ask them to do the impossible and then blame them when they struggle?My guest today, Rebecca Geshuri, sits at the intersection of motherhood, mental health, and compassion in a way that feels deeply needed right now. We talk about why so many moms feel like they're failing even when they're doing everything they possibly can. We unpack the crushing mental load, the lack of structural support, and how quickly shame spirals take hold when moms feel they're “not good enough.”This is a conversation about empathy, support, and the quiet strength of caregiving—and why taking better care of moms in the workplace and beyond ultimately makes all of us stronger.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com, search by episode title.Listen in for…Why having healthy and supported mothers is key in our organizations and society.Lessons businesses and organizations can learn from mothers.How to stop assuming and do more noticing and learning about the mothers in your organization. "Don't count moms out. They're working their tails off, trying to be everything to everybody, to care for everyone. They have parts of themselves that are planning things and organizing things, and seeing things that don't exist yet.

    Ethan tackles an age-old dharma question: how do we generate compassion for those who do harmful things? Should we even try, or does that make things worse? In the age of ICE lawlessness, totalitarian governments, and coming to terms with toxic relationships of all kinds, this question intensifies. This conversation often feels misunderstood. Whether the perpetrator is a dictator, a difficult ex, or a manipulative boss—or whether the harm is something we ourselves have caused—the question of building compassion and opening the bodhisattva's heart often delivers more confusion than clarity. Using a memory of hearing a college lecture by the long-imprisoned Tibetan monk Palden Gyatso, Ethan offers a simple (but never easy) three-step model of how to go about the difficult process of acknowledging and transforming the negative karma related to harmful actions.

    When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He taught them to pray for God's will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven. He didn't teach them to simply ask for the desires of their hearts or that God would do their bidding. He taught to pray for God's will. In prayer, we come to a place of seeking alignment with the Father. We invite Him to shape our hearts, days, and influence to bring His Kingdom to shape our present reality; not the other way around. When we do this, He will do greater things than we could have possibly imagined as He moves history toward the renewal of all things.

    In this powerful episode, Brother Jim continues the series exploring the Pharisees and challenges facing the modern church. Preaching from Matthew 23:1–14, he digs deep into Jesus' warning against religious hypocrisy, legalism, and ego-driven faith—reminding us that correct words mean nothing without a Christlike life behind them. With humor, honesty, and conviction, Brother Jim unpacks what it truly means to serve God with humility. He warns against the dangers of self-righteousness, spiritual pride, and placing heavy burdens on others while lifting none ourselves. From “religion as performance” to the traps of titles, social media validation, and rule-based righteousness, this message invites every listener to look in the mirror and ask: Am I walking the walk—or just talking the talk? This episode calls believers back to the heart of the Gospel: Grace over legalism. Compassion over control. Servant leadership over status. Jesus exalts the humble and humbles the self-exalting—and Brother Jim challenges us to ensure our faith matches our actions. If you're ready for a convicting, uplifting, and eye-opening message that speaks directly to the state of today's church, this episode will bless you, stretch you, and point you back to Christ.

    I recorded this episode, wrapped in a duvet at a friend's house - you can hear my voice still finding its morning register. I'm away from home seeing friends and family. Understanding my intentions for being here resonates with the question I'd love to explore today: what is it I'm calling in by being here?It's a question with layers - geographical and existential, practical and profound.In this episode, I explore:How we might recognise what we've called into our lives, both consciously and unconsciously, and how to hold that awareness without falling into self-criticism or toxic positivityThe difference between feeling overwhelmed by fullness and recognising the value in what's arrivingRumi's wisdom from 'The Guest House' and what it means to welcome everything as a guideMy curious relationship with manifestation, and why I prefer thinking about clear intentions and trusting our capacity to care for ourselves through whatever arisesWhether creation begins with thoughts or feelings (spoiler: I think my body knows before my head catches up)The thread of gratitude running through it all, and why noticing what we're grateful for helps rewire our negativity biasI also share details about the Quest for Gratitude - a free 21-day practice beginning Thursday February 26th, 7pm (UK), with a gathering on Zoom. JOIN THE QUEST: 21 Days of GratitudeOver 100 people have already signed up, and I'd love to have you there too.Settle in, and see where this conversation takes you.With love, HennyTo be part of the mailing list and enjoy thoughtful connection, including live gatherings and courses https://hennyflynn.kit.com/profileYou can find everything I offer here: https://www.hennyflynn.co.uk/ ★ Support this podcast ★

trots den sena timmen.En: The subway station was full of life despite the late hour.Sv: Lennart, stationens noggranna städare och hemliga amatördeckarförfattare, hade sin vanliga runda.En: Lennart, the station's meticulous cleaner and secret amateur detective writer, was on his usual round.Sv: Hans blick svepte över perrongen och fastnade på en kvinna.En: His gaze swept across the platform and landed on a woman.Sv: Hon var nervös, det märkte han direkt.En: She was nervous, he noticed immediately.Sv: Kajsa, kvinnan med den stora, märkliga väskan, stod ensam vid en pelare.En: Kajsa, the woman with the large, peculiar bag, stood alone by a pillar.Sv: Hon verkade inte höra hemma där.En: She didn't seem to belong there.Sv: Lennarts nyfikenhet väcktes.En: Lennart's curiosity was piqued.Sv: Vad dolde sig i den där väskan?En: What was hidden in that bag?Sv: Hans rosiga kinder rodnade ytterligare när han tänkte på morgondagens Alla hjärtans dag.En: His rosy cheeks blushed even more when he thought of the upcoming Valentine's Day.Sv: Men hans drömmar om romantik ersattes snabbt av ett behov att lösa mysteriet.En: But his dreams of romance were quickly replaced by a need to solve the mystery.Sv: Bland de regelbundna passagerarna fanns också Astrid.En: Among the regular passengers was also Astrid.Sv: Hon la märke till Lennarts förundrade blick mot Kajsa.En: She noticed Lennart's curious gaze towards Kajsa.Sv: Som den nyfikna själen hon var, närmade hon sig Lennart.En: Being the inquisitive soul she was, she approached Lennart.Sv: "Behöver du hjälp?"En: "Do you need help?"Sv: frågade Astrid med ett uppmuntrande leende.En: asked Astrid with an encouraging smile.Sv: Lennart beslöt sig för att följa Kajsa diskret, med Astrid vid sin sida.En: Lennart decided to discreetly follow Kajsa, with Astrid by his side.Sv: De smög efter henne när hon rörde sig mot nästa tåg.En: They sneaked after her as she moved toward the next train.Sv: Lennart kände spänningen stiga.En: Lennart felt the tension rising.Sv: Kajsa verkade nästan försvinna bland alla människor, men hennes väskas storlek gjorde det lättare att hålla henne i sikte.En: Kajsa seemed to almost vanish among all the people, but the size of her bag made it easier to keep her in sight.Sv: Med ett plötsligt stopp vände sig Kajsa om.En: With a sudden stop, Kajsa turned around.Sv: "Vad vill ni egentligen?"En: "What do you really want?"Sv: frågade hon skarpt, och locket till väskan gled ner en aning.En: she asked sharply, and the lid of the bag slid down a bit.Sv: Där, ovanpå en hög med pappersdokument, låg en kärleksfullt inslagen nallebjörn och en bunt brev.En: There, on top of a pile of paper documents, lay a lovingly wrapped teddy bear and a bundle of letters.Sv: Kajsa, märkbart upprörd, erkände att hon hade flytt från en komplicerad situation.En: Kajsa, noticeably upset, admitted that she had fled from a complicated situation.Sv: Hon visste inte vart hon skulle ta vägen eller hur hon skulle få hjälp.En: She didn't know where to go or how to get help.Sv: Hennes flykt från en kontrollerande partner hade varit plötslig, och hon sökte skydd i Stockholm.En: Her escape from a controlling partner had been sudden, and she sought refuge in Stockholm.Sv: Lennart och Astrid kände en våg av förståelse och medkänsla.En: Lennart and Astrid felt a wave of understanding and compassion.Sv: Det som först verkade mystiskt och hotfullt visade sig vara en historia om sökande efter frihet.En: What first seemed mysterious and threatening turned out to be a story about searching for freedom.Sv: De två beslöt sig för att hjälpa Kajsa på något sätt.En: The two decided to help Kajsa in some way.Sv: Lennart, uppmuntrad av sitt nyfunna mod, kontaktade ett lokalt kriscenter för hjälp.En: Lennart, encouraged by his newfound courage, contacted a local crisis center for help.Sv: Under de fladdrande tunnelbanelamporna skedde en oväntad allians.En: Under the flickering subway lights, an unexpected alliance was formed.Sv: Astrid och Lennart erbjöd Kajsa stöd och vänskap.En: Astrid and Lennart offered Kajsa support and friendship.Sv: Trots den snöiga och kalla kvällen, fann de värme i en ny vänskap och i vetskapen att de hjälpt någon i nöd.En: Despite the snowy and cold evening, they found warmth in a new friendship and in the knowledge that they had helped someone in need.Sv: Till slut lämnade Kajsa stationen, småleende, med Astrids nummer i sin nya telefon och Lennarts snabba klottrade meddelande: "Vänskap kan göra en starkare."En: In the end, Kajsa left the station, smiling slightly, with Astrid's number in her new phone and Lennart's hastily scribbled note: "Friendship can make you stronger."Sv: Och Lennart, vars detektivinstinkter visat sig vara användbara, kände sig redo för nästa kapitel i sitt liv, nu med Astrid som sin trogna partner-in-kluriga-fall.En: And Lennart, whose detective instincts had proven useful, felt ready for the next chapter in his life, now with Astrid as his faithful partner in tricky cases.Sv: Stockholm tunnelbanestation, vanligtvis fylld av stressade pendlare, blev för en stund en plats för mod, barmhärtighet och mänsklig förbindelse.En: Stockholm subway station, usually filled with stressed commuters, became for a moment a place of courage, compassion, and human connection.Sv: Och en historia, både verklig och fantastisk, nedtecknad i Lennarts dagbok.En: And a story, both real and fantastic, recorded in Lennart's journal.

In this episode, Jeff Krasno speaks with two leading relationship experts, Yung Pueblo (Diego Perez) and Jillian Turecki, to explore how to build healthy relationships through emotional responsibility, conscious communication, and self-awareness. While society focuses on the romance of falling in love, very little guidance exists on what it takes to sustain connection over time.

This episode covers: The three anchors for loving better: Kindness, Compassion, and Growth Emotional Responsibility: How to communicate feelings without blaming your partner The “Comfort Trap”: Balancing stability with novelty to keep the spark alive Healing the Past: Why your relationship with yourself dictates your romantic success Conflict Resolution: Moving from “fighting to win” to listening to understand Love as a Verb: Practical rituals to show up for your partner even when you don't feel like it This podcast is for couples feeling stuck in a rut, singles looking to break old patterns, and anyone ready to approach love with greater mindfulness and maturity.
