Podcasts about Empathy

On this episode of Crosspolitic, we expose how weaponized empathy and the sin of partiality are destroying both biblical justice and the America First movement, turning Christians into useful idiots for cultural Marxists who want us angry, divided, and playing their game instead of demanding the biblical distinctions that actually solve problems.

We evolved shame as a gift. A signal that whispers when we've drifted from who we might become. What if the discomfort you feel isn't the problem, but the compass? This episode explores a surprising truth: the hardest patterns to change aren't the ones destroying us, but the ones keeping us comfortably mediocre. Yet they hold us back and sometimes shames even stops us from acknowledging they exist. But we need to step back and ask if we are truly happy with our choices, the way we live our life and what we would like in it and wouldn't. And slowly learn how to build the healthier life we seek. Three Actionable Takeaways: View shame as information about misalignment, not evidence of inadequacy—it evolved to guide you, not punish you Recognize that growth happens in difficulty, not comfort—the urge to escape is the moment to lean in Build intrinsic motivation rooted in values, not just outcomes—sustainable change comes from who you're becoming, not what you're avoiding This episode originally aired on the Unhooked Podcast by Jeremy Lipkowitz.

This week, we grapple with why empathy is being branded as a weakness in political and religious spaces, even as science and scripture highlight its power. From brain science to cultural critiques, we explore how empathy can both strain and sustain us, and what it takes to turn it into compassion guided by truth.DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the cast members and guests.

In this week's episode of the Do Good to Lead Well podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lindsay Dodd, the CEO of Cashco Financial, for an enlightening conversation about how to build an award-winning culture. He reveals how purpose and profitability can successfully coexist, emphasizing a people-first mindset that champions dignity, trust, and empowerment. His insights showcase how Cashco Financial has consistently earned recognition as one of Alberta's best workplaces for five consecutive years. We explore leadership not as a set of inherent qualities, but as learned behaviors such as courage, confidence, empathy, and resilience, drawing from frameworks that advocate for modeling the way and inspiring a shared vision.Our discussion delves into the true meaning of authentic leadership, defining it as a consistent commitment to building trust by aligning our actions with our values and beliefs. Lindsay illustrates how genuine vulnerability, coupled with an openness to feedback and a commitment to inclusive workplaces, strengthens bonds and fosters collaboration. We explore practical strategies for navigating challenging peer interactions, stressing the importance of curiosity and addressing issues directly yet calmly. Additionally, Lindsay shares CashCo's unique cultural practices, from hiring based on empathy to an “upside-down triangle” leadership model that prioritizes frontline staff, reinforcing values through daily core value stories.As we look to the future, the conversation addresses the complexities of leading in a polarized society and the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence. Lindsay offers advice on finding common ground amidst differing opinions and encourages leaders to engage with new technologies, learning and playing with them to discover new opportunities while managing risks. This episode offers practical wisdom for building successful, values-driven organizations and preparing for tomorrow's challenges.What You'll Learn- Leadership is a learned behavior- How authenticity builds trust- Go beyond superficial values.

Ever had your child melt down because it’s time to leave somewhere fun? In this heartwarming episode, Justin and Kylie share the tearful goodbyes, the bike crashes, and the surprising wisdom that came from an 11-year-old who just didn’t want the holiday to end. It’s a story about empathy, growing up, and remembering that sometimes… we all just want to stay a little longer. KEY POINTS: Why revisiting familiar places can be deeply meaningful for families How empathy—not logic—helps calm big emotions in kids The hidden benefits of letting grandparents “spoil” their grandkids Why parents (even parenting experts!) still have emotional moments of their own How shared stories can defuse tension and strengthen connection QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “Empathy and perspective are powerful.

In an era where “understanding everyone's feelings” often replaces holding standards, Andrew and I unpack how good intentions can quietly corrupt outcomes. The conversation cuts through the noise of soft leadership to reveal a tougher truth: empathy without clarity creates confusion, resentment, and burnout.We trace how businesses drift from mission to maintenance, how leaders lose edge trying to be liked, and why clarity—not compassion—actually sustains culture. Andrew shares frameworks he's used to reintroduce accountability in teams that have “care fatigue,” where emotional overload blocks progress.This episode isn't anti-empathy. It's a reminder that empathy, like power, must be used with precision—or it turns toxic.TL;DR* Empathy becomes corruption when it excuses poor performance.* Great leaders balance compassion with consequence.* “Understanding” doesn't mean “accepting”—clarity builds trust faster.* Accountability is the highest form of respect.* Teams burn out when emotion replaces direction.* The fix: empathy guided by structure, not sentiment.Memorable Lines“Empathy without standards becomes permission for mediocrity.”“If you care about your people, hold them to the level they're capable of.”“Leaders don't lose teams by being firm—they lose them by being fuzzy.”“The real kindness is clarity.”GuestAndrew Oxley — Founder & Leadership Strategist, helping organizations rebuild cultures around accountability, clarity, and growth without sacrificing human connection.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-oxley-tog/Website: http://www.transformingresults.comWhy This MattersWe've mistaken comfort for care. Real empathy isn't about protecting people from discomfort—it's helping them grow through it.When businesses learn to pair empathy with standards, they don't just get better performance—they get stronger humans.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

SummaryIn this conversation, Joash P. Thomas discusses his book ‘The Justice of Jesus' and explores the themes of justice, faith, and the impact of colonization on modern Christianity. He emphasizes the importance of centering marginalized voices and the need for the church to engage in justice work without the constraints of colonial frameworks. The discussion also touches on the complexities of mission work, the role of empathy, and the call to live a flourishing life now, rather than focusing solely on the afterlife.‘Justice is a communal exercise'Takeaways* Joash wrote a book called ‘The Justice of Jesus'.* Justice should not be pigeonholed into biblical or social categories.* All justice is ultimately God's justice.* We can't change the past, but we can be faithful in the present.* The gospel centers marginalized voices.* Decolonization is essential for understanding justice.* Empathy is crucial in addressing historical injustices.* The church must engage in justice work today.* Mission work can have both beautiful and harmful outcomes.* Living a flourishing life now is a key aspect of faith.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background of Joash P.

“Today, whether it's an increase in narcissism, a reduction in time, or an obsession with technology, there are many reasons why people are understanding themselves to be and seeming to feel that there's less empathy out there,” says Minter Dial, keynote speaker and author of Heartificial Empathy: Putting Heart into business and Artificial Intelligence. He goes on to explain the effects that this minimal amount or complete lack of empathy has in the world of business, one of which leaves customers feeling as though their needs and desires aren't being heard, understood, or addressed. As a result of this, people, on the whole, are beginning to lose their loyalty for certain companies, and are unable to establish it for new ones.    A seemingly obvious answer to this problem might be to program empathy into the machines with which we increasingly interact, to encode our experiences with empathy in order to ensure that it's there—whether in an application online, an AI-driven personal shopper or automated checkout stands at the market. And while integrating empathy in AI might be a good idea, is it possible? Are we capable of encoding machines to show empathy when we are incapable of showing it ourselves? According to Minter Dial, this is an important question to ask, as it will force us to turn the mirrors on ourselves and consider why empathy is so important and whether we are capable of practicing it once again.  Tune in to hear Minter Dial discuss a range of issues on this topic, and visit minterdial.com for more of his work.

Before credit checks, down payments, or Zillow searches — the first step is deciding. In this kickoff to the 10-step Homebuying 101 series, David Sidoni breaks down the mindset every first-time homebuyer must have before any of the practical steps even matter. If you've been stuck renting, overwhelmed by myths, or waiting for “the right time,” this episode will change how you see yourself — and your ability to buy a home.SynopsisMost people think the first step to buying a home is financial — checking credit, saving money, or finding a realtor. But that's not where it starts. The first step is mental: deciding you're ready to take control of your future.David Sidoni, founder of How to Buy a Home, reveals why every first-time homebuyer's journey begins with a decision — a mindset shift that transforms fear into action. He exposes the biggest myths keeping renters stuck, from “you need 20% down” to “you can't buy with student loans,” and replaces them with real numbers, data, and proof from thousands of successful buyers.Listeners learn that education is the antidote to fear. Sidoni shows that understanding the process, not having perfect finances, is what separates dreamers from doers. Backed by six years of data, he proves that 72% of people who thought they were a year away from buying discovered they were ready far sooner — once they made the decision to start.By the end, this isn't just about houses or mortgages — it's about finally believing you can stop renting forever.Quote“Step one is decide — because none of the other nine steps mean a damn thing if you don't make that choice first.”— David Sidoni, How to Buy a Home PodcastHighlightsThe true first step isn't financial — it's mental. Deciding to move forward changes everything.Myth-busting the biggest fears: You don't need 20% down, a six-figure income, or perfect credit to buy.Mindset = momentum. Confidence comes from education, not from already knowing everything.Proven data: 72% of buyers who thought they were a year away discovered they could buy much sooner.Clarity before chaos. The 10 steps give you a system so you can stop guessing and start planning.Empathy and empowerment. David helps first-time buyers understand that fear isn't failure — it's just lack of information.Referenced Episodes388 - The Playbook VOL. 1 - The Rent Replacement Strategy389 - The Playbook VOL. 2: Your Last Lease Ever382 - 2025 Crucial Housing Market Shift Pt 1: Rates383 - 2025 Crucial Housing Market Shift Pt 2: Sales, Inventory & Affordability384 - 2025 Crucial Housing Market Shift Pt 3: Rent Math & Buying Power98 - Time for A New Game Plan To Buy Your First Home – My Story355 - Real Answers Pt 4: Should I Rent or Buy in 2025?OFFICIAL 2025 EPISODE GUIDEConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.

In today's hyper-connected world, many of us are experiencing a paradox—more digital interactions, but deeper loneliness. In this episode of Unlearn, I sit down with Dr. Ben Rein, neuroscientist and author of Why Brains Need Friends, to unpack why human connection isn't just emotional—it's biological. From the neuroscience of loneliness to surprising acts of generosity in mice and minnows, we explore how your brain interprets social disconnection as a threat, and why a full calendar of Zoom calls doesn't satisfy your social diet.As someone who experienced this firsthand—working remotely, starting over in a new country—I share my own journey to unlearning the myth of self-sufficiency and redesigning my life to engineer real connection. This conversation is a call to rethink how we connect, show up for each other, and take our social health as seriously as sleep, diet, or exercise.Key TakeawaysLoneliness Is a Biological Threat: Your brain interprets social disconnection like hunger or pain—not just a mood, but a warning signal.Small In-Person Moments Matter: Even brief, face-to-face interactions boost mood and cognitive function more than digital ones.Isolation Damages the Brain: Chronic loneliness raises cortisol, shrinks memory centers, and can shorten your lifespan.Introverts Still Need People: Social time benefits everyone—introverts just hit their saturation point sooner.Generosity Is Hardwired: From rats to dolphins, the impulse to connect and give is deeply embedded in our biology.Connection Requires Unlearning: Independence and solitude aren't always virtues—sometimes they're survival myths in disguise.Additional InsightsSocial prediction systems in the brain were scrambled by COVID—and many people still haven't recalibrated.Most people think they're worse-than-average at socializing, which fuels avoidance and false self-judgment.Digital tools remove the social cues—tone, expression, touch—that our brains need to feel emotionally nourished.Empathy is not automatic—it's biased and trainable, shaped by exposure to difference and intention.Rebuilding community isn't just good for you—it's essential for physical, mental, and societal health.Episode Highlights00:00 – Episode RecapBen Rein discusses the importance of socializing, likening it to sleep, diet, and exercise, and emphasizing its role in overall well-being.02:07 – Guest Introduction: Ben ReinBarry introduces Dr. Ben Rein, neuroscientist and author, and outlines the episode's focus on the biological necessity of human connection.03:43 – How COVID Broke Our Social PredictionsBen shares his neuroscience background and explores how societal shifts and the pandemic disrupted the brain's expectations for everyday interaction.08:23 – Barry's Story: “You Sound Lonely”Barry recounts a personal moment of realization and how a friend's observation pushed him to rebuild his social life with intention.11:29 – Why We Miss the Signs of LonelinessBen explains why loneliness often goes undetected, how it manifests as stress, and why virtual connection isn't enough.16:44 – The Hard Work of Making FriendsBarry reflects on the discomfort of building new friendships as an adult—and why it's worth the effort for mental and emotional health.21:10 – The Neuroscience of Social FearBen breaks down why we underestimate the value of interaction, how fear...

In this special 100th episode, Tom and co-host Drew dive deep into today's most pressing issues—from the chaos of government shutdowns and the relentless battle over healthcare, to the power of propaganda in mainstream media and the economic forces shaping our society. They break down the realities behind headline-grabbing policies, exposing how both sides of the political spectrum spin the narrative and why it's critical to do your own research before forming opinions. You'll hear Tom's unfiltered take on the dangers of “revolutionary empathy,” inspired by Eric Weinstein's insights, and how shifts in empathy and radical polarization are fueling a climate ripe for violence and unrest. The conversation also explores the harsh truths of wealth inequality, the illusion of economic progress, and why the stock market's highs aren't translating to a better life for most Americans. Drew brings in sharp counterpoints and timely clips—touching on everything from mass media censorship to the controversial culture wars playing out in children's entertainment and on social platforms.

When it comes to leading a team, there's no such thing as too much information.Good leadership is about good communication. And for General Stanley McChrystal, that means creating a culture of free-flowing information: “The goal is to have everyone know everything all the time,” he says.McChrystal is a retired four-star general, former commander of US and international forces in Afghanistan, and a renowned leadership expert. In his experience building cohesive teams in complex environments, he's discovered that successful teams are built on a “shared consciousness [where] all have a common contextual understanding of what the situation is.” The key to creating that kind of culture, he says, is radical transparency — from leaders and subordinates alike. Whatever your position, “You are responsible for informing other people of things that they need to know,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, McChrystal and host Matt Abrahams discuss how to build shared consciousness within teams, how to communicate across cultural divides, and how to lead with clarity, context, and character.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:General Stanley McChrystalGeneral McChrystal's Books: On Character / Team of Teams155.

“Migration is grace,” says UCLA professor Robert Chao Romero, author of Brown Church: Five Centuries of Latina/o Social Justice, Theology, and Identity. In this episode, he joins Mark Labberton to discuss the immigration crisis through stories from Southern California, theology of migration, and the challenge of Christian nationalism for the American response to the immigration crisis we face. Romero narrates heartbreaking accounts of ICE raids, racial profiling, and dehumanization, while also offering hope rooted in scripture and the early church. He points out the “Xenodochias” of the ancient and medieval church that cared for migrants. And he shows how biblical narratives—from Abraham to Jesus—reveal God's mercy in migration. Romero calls Christians to see the image of God in migrants, resist the “Latino threat narrative,” and reclaim the church's historic role in welcoming the stranger. Episode Highlights “Migration is grace. … You wouldn't have a Bible without migration.” “Jesus lived and died as an outsider in solidarity with all outsiders, and he rose to new life among outsiders.” “The gospel is an outward pushing invitation… it is the pushing out actually into the far and remote places of suffering in need.” “This level of targeting of the Latino community has not happened since 1954 and Operation Wetback.” “We think that crossing the US border is like crossing the Jordan into the promised land, and we're baptized into the Yankee Doodle song.” Helpful Links and Resources Brown Church by Robert Chao Romero UCLA César E.

With a background in law and history, his research and teaching explore the intersections of race, immigration, faith, and justice. He is the author of Brown Church: Five Centuries of Latina/o Social Justice, Theology, and Identity (IVP Academic), which chronicles the long history of Latino Christian social justice movements. Romero is also an ordained pastor, active in local church ministry and theological reflection on immigration, Christian nationalism, and the global church.

We don't belong to the world.” “ Jesus lived and died as an outsider in solidarity with all outsiders, and he rose to new life among outsiders.” (Jorge Lara-Braud) Jesus as an asylum seeker in Egypt; Ruth and Joseph as biblical migrants Early church created “xenodochias”—ancient and medieval social service centers for immigrants and the poor Outsider theology: Christians as strangers and aliens, called to care for outsiders “Jesus lived and died as an outsider in solidarity with all outsiders.” Policy Challenges and Misconceptions Millions of mixed-status households trapped by the “10-year bar” in immigration law Asylum seekers legally present cases at the border under U.S. law Refugees undergo extensive vetting, often over decades Common myths about immigrants as “illegal” are contradicted by law and history Faith, Empathy, and the Church Empathy as central to Christian response, counter to narratives of fear and scarcity Latino pastors passing on both the gospel and nationalism from missionary influence The church historically provided refugee care before the UN Refugee Agency existed Worship with immigrant congregations as a source of hope and resilience Orthodox theology: worship joins heaven and earth, every tribe and nation before the Lamb Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.  

Episode SummaryThis episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times is about one of the most important and misunderstood challenges in business today, how to build workplaces where people truly thrive.Host Chris Schembra welcomes Mark Rix, Group Managing Director of Wellbeing at Work, for an unfiltered conversation on belonging, resilience, and the human side of leadership. What makes this episode powerful isn't just the frameworks and research Mark shares; it's the raw, unexpected personal story that shaped his entire mission.At 18 years old, Mark found himself alone in South Africa's gold mines, working one and a half kilometers underground among hundreds of men who didn't speak his language. In an early and unforgettable moment, he was literally punched in the face for unknowingly saying something offensive in Afrikaans, a humiliating and dangerous misunderstanding that forced him to confront the difference between “blending in” and truly belonging. It also sparked a lifelong obsession with empathy, psychological safety, and how humans treat one another at work.Fast forward to today, and Mark leads a global movement to help organizations move wellbeing from a “nice-to-have” perk to a board-level strategy that drives engagement, innovation, and bottom-line results. His organization hosts summits on six continents, gathering thousands of leaders to explore the future of mental, social, and emotional wellbeing at work.Throughout the conversation, Chris and Mark explore:Why the next era of corporate wellbeing will be about social health — helping employees feel seen, safe, and connected. How to equip managers (most of whom were promoted without training) to coach with empathy and curiosity instead of simply direct or command. The role of shared language in creating psychological safety, and why your team's inside jokes, acronyms, and short codes matter more than you think. Why leaders don't have to rewrite every policy or undo every mandate; often, culture change begins by simply changing how you show up in the next conversation. How investing in employee wellbeing isn't just ethical but deeply strategic, the highest-performing companies in the world are proving that people-first drives profit. This episode is as practical as it is inspiring. It reminds leaders that while technology and AI will keep reshaping the future of work, human connection remains our greatest competitive advantage.If you've been struggling with disengagement, low morale, or the exhaustion of leading through uncertainty, this conversation will give you both a fresh perspective and simple actions to start right away, like carving out time to talk, listen, and ask better questions.Above all, it's a reminder that resilience and thriving cultures start with a choice: to lead with empathy and authenticity, one conversation at a time. 10 Memorable Quotes“You can blend but not belong. To bond, you have to give something of yourself.” — Mark Rix “Trust is built before it's tested. If your people don't feel safe, they won't speak up when it matters.” — Chris Schembra “I realized after being punched that day — this is not how work should be. No one should feel unsafe simply trying to belong.” — Mark Rix “A shared language can literally save lives underground. In business, it can save culture.” — Chris Schembra “Most managers are promoted without the skills — or the mindset — to coach. And it's costing engagement.” — Mark Rix “Empathy is listening to understand, then using that data to act differently tomorrow.” — Chris Schembra “Wellbeing isn't fluffy. Companies investing in their people outperform the market.” — Mark Rix “You don't have to change the policy to change the culture. Start by changing you.” — Chris Schembra “Connection is still our greatest competitive advantage — AI can enhance it but never replace it.” — Mark Rix “It doesn't matter how hard you get punched; it's about how well you get back up and keep leading with heart.” — Chris Schembra 10 Key TakeawaysBonding > Blending — True belonging comes when people feel safe to bring their full selves, not just adapt to fit in. Shared Language Matters — Developing clear, common language within teams builds trust and prevents miscommunication in high-stakes environments. Empathy Is Action-Oriented — It's not enough to “feel for” others; leaders must use what they learn to lead differently. Managers Need Coaching Skills — Over half of managers aren't prepared to lead; training them as coaches is one of the fastest ways to improve culture and engagement. Human Connection Fuels ROI — The best-performing companies on the stock market are investing heavily in employee wellbeing. Don't Wait for Policy — Leaders can start culture change simply by slowing down, listening, and showing genuine interest. Social Wellbeing Is the New Frontier — Loneliness is an epidemic; companies must look beyond physical and mental health to build deep social connection. Technology Is a Tool, Not a Replacement — AI and data can measure and enhance wellbeing strategies but will never replace face-to-face connection. Your Personal Story Shapes Leadership — Early, even painful experiences can become catalysts for empathy-driven leadership. Resilience Is Built, Not Bought — Being “punched” — literally or figuratively — can teach leaders how to bounce back and guide others through adversity.

He also gives a great example of how one company wasted millions of dollars on a brand-damaging ad campaign that missed the mark when it failed to dive deeper into empathy for your target audience - and how they put ego aside, took responsibility, and re-did the research to launch a breakthrough campaign instead! We discuss how empathy helps you break away from putting people into labels and boxes to form better connections. He shares three ways to get curious without sounding like you are interrogating someone.

Welcome to another episode of the Legal Nurse Podcast with your host, Pat Iyer. Today, we're diving into a crucial and all-too-common workplace issue: abusive work environments in healthcare, and the pivotal role empathy, or the lack thereof, plays in patient care and professional interactions. Joining Pat is Nia Renee, a trauma-informed leadership speaker and certified narcissistic abuse recovery coach, who brings both personal and professional expertise to this conversation. Nia's journey as a six-time brain surgery survivor gives her profound insight into what compassionate care truly means, and just how much it's often missing, not just in patient-provider relationships, but also among colleagues in the healthcare setting. In this candid discussion, Pat and Nia explore the impacts of workplace incivility, apathy, and bullying, shining a light on the power dynamics between nurses, physicians, and hospital leadership. Nia shares her personal experiences with medical gaslighting and highlights the emotional toll that comes from lacking empathy, whether you're a patient or a team member. Together, they unpack real-life examples, define terms like medical gaslighting, and discuss the ripple effects of an unsupportive or hostile environment on both staff well-being and patient safety. The episode wraps up with actionable strategies for recognizing and addressing workplace abuse, setting boundaries, documentation, and utilizing support systems. Whether you're working in clinical practice, consulting with attorneys, or managing teams, this conversation is filled with practical advice and empowering takeaways to help you navigate and improve the culture of your own healthcare workplace.

Send us a textImagine fixing a fracture with a steady hand and a smart pen. We open the lab door on a handheld “bone printer” that lays down bio‑ink directly at the injury site, promising faster healing, fewer imaging steps, and the chance to customize strength and shape in minutes. If you've ever waited days for scans and fabrication, the appeal is obvious: hydroxyapatite to encourage bone growth, PCL as a biocompatible scaffold that melts at low heat, cools fast, and slowly yields to living tissue. Early tests on rabbit femurs outperformed bone cement and showed no infections over 12 weeks, and the potential to embed antibiotics or growth factors hints at on‑the‑spot, personalized implants that could transform orthopedics, trauma care, and remote medicine.Then we pivot from bones to benevolence with one big question: do pets change how people give? Using a decade of 787,877,198 donation transactions, we map the patterns. Non‑pet owners tend to donate larger totals, yet pet owners give more frequently, keeping support flowing between big gifts. Cat owners spread donations across more causes and contribute more overall than dog owners, while dog people still outpace non‑owners in cadence. A machine‑learning model puts pet ownership as the fourth strongest predictor of giving—behind income, education, and gender—suggesting pets reflect social ties and daily acts of care that nudge generosity. We also unpack identity signals and what they mean for smarter, kinder fundraising that respects budgets and habits.It's a journey from bio‑materials to behavioral data, but the throughline is practical empathy: tools that speed healing, and insights that make community support steadier and more inclusive.

“This really is the full motivation for my having written the memoir. I want people to know what the process is like; not only what the process is like but what the feelings are that don't really make you think of psychoanalysis as a way of changing your life. We're just living and hoping that things will change without really taking account of the fact that we could be living better lives and in a better way. I began to think of the ways of the world and the wickedness in it. There's so many things that we do to keep us going - me and my aphrodisiacs, and I think other people doing other things just to divert them from the misery and unhappiness that they feel.  I don't know how often that's looked at or discussed, so I hope the book does open that up a little bit.”  Episode Description: We begin with Beverly's description of her early years of feeling lost and the consequent self-destructive patterns she replayed. Years of sensation-seeking led her to become "exhausted, limp, tarnished, and each time, more profoundly lost." She "landed on an analyst's couch in Little Venice, a section of London. I was paying for someone to recognize me. She did." Beverly shares her analytic journey with us and how vital her discovery of 'kindness' was, first from the outside and then from within. We discuss the early death of her father, her mother's depression and the devotion of her older brother.  She closes with "Like life, psychoanalysis is a continuing process. It doesn't stop...issues crop up, new feelings arise...we better understand what those feelings are telling us, and how to make use of them in an environment we have been able to choose for ourselves. And so it goes…"   Our Guest:  Beverly Kolsky, MSW has worked as a psychotherapist for more than forty years both in America and in England.  She trained as a psychoanalyst with the New York Institute for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology also and received training in London where she worked under the auspices of the Tavistock Clinic and the Institute of Marital Studies. Her work has been published in two journals:  Mind Consiliums and Voices: Art and Science of Psychotherapy. She had two psychoanalytic experiences in two countries with analysts of two different orientations. Her motivation for writing the book as a memoir was to let others in the community know the transformative and enduring power of psychoanalysis. She was in private practice in Englewood, N.J. and now lives, mostly retired, in the northern Adirondacks.   Recommended Readings: Jung, C.G. 1963. Memories, Dreams, Reflections.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Jim Stroud Podcast, host Jim Stroud sits down with Tullio Siragusa, a seasoned executive coach and founder of TullioSiragusa.com, to explore a timely question: Can emotional intelligence survive—and even thrive—in a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence? Tullio unpacks how empathy, self-awareness, and authentic leadership aren't just “soft skills” anymore—they're strategic differentiators that determine whether organizations adapt or fall behind. From the pitfalls of command-and-control cultures to the neuroscience behind rewiring self-belief, this conversation dives deep into what it really means to lead with wisdom in a digital-first era. Listeners will discover: Why EQ-driven leaders will outperform AI-powered systems in the next decade How emotional intelligence can be developed intentionally, not just “inherited” The hidden self-esteem issues that quietly undermine executive decision-making How to build psychologically safe, self-managed teams that move faster and innovate more Why most AI adoptions fail—and how culture, not code, determines success Plus, Tullio introduces AICMO.io, an AI-powered tool built with design thinking and empathy at its core—helping brands express purpose and connect more authentically with customers. (Podcast listeners receive a free 30-day trial at AICMO.io). If you're a leader navigating the intersection of humanity and technology, this episode offers both wisdom and practical tools to help you thrive in the age of AI.

The great primatologist and humanitarian, Jane Goodall, died on October 1, 2025, at the age of 91. It is a joy and a comfort to revisit our last broadcast of her 2020 conversation with Krista.  Jane Goodall began her epic work studying chimpanzees in the Gombe forest without even a college degree. The science she proceeded to do recalled modern western science to the fact that we are a part of nature, not separate from it. She spent the last decades of her life on the road, often with the young, tending to human fear and misunderstanding. In this beautiful conversation from pandemic lockdown, she shared the moral and spiritual wisdom that emerged in her extraordinary life — and the hope that, to the end, sustained her.Jane Goodall was the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and its youth program, Roots & Shoots. She has been the subject of many films and documentaries, including “Jane Goodall: The Hope.” Her many books include In the Shadow of Man, Reason for Hope: A Spiritual Journey, and most recently, The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times. Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.This show originally aired in August, 2020.

What if empathy isn't gone—just thirsty—and the rehydration begins in your nervous system and  our emotional bodies? We sit down with author, neuroscience educator, and my teacher, Sarah Peyton, to explore accompaniment, the body-based practice of bringing your full self into relationship and letting resonance change you. From the rise of fascism to climate grief and information overload, we trace how overwhelm disconnects us from a healthy, sacred NO—and how tending to our disgust circuit becomes an inoculation to the manipulation, scapegoating, and burnout. We talk about unconscious contracts and how to spot, revoke, and replace them with life‑honoring vows. Along the way, we surface the baked-in conditioning culture has trained us to direct disgust at people instead of the harms done to them, and we share practical steps to reorient toward collective care and courage, empathy and agency.♨ show notes from the jacuzzi-verse ♨Free grounding meditation with Dana—a practice of calling your energy back/nervous system tending/reclaiming your attention) ~ (http://bit.ly/grounding-now)Enter to win a free coaching session ~ when you leave a 5-star rating (only) and a written review, you'll be entered into a monthly drawing for a free 90-min coaching session with dana (value of $388).

The gift of empathy doesn't always feel like a gift. Maybe you walk into a room and instantly feel the tension no one else acknowledges. Or you sense a shift in someone's tone, name it out loud, only to be told you're imagining things. The spiral begins: doubt, overwhelm, exhaustion.This episode is for anyone who's ever wondered if they're feeling “too much,” or how to know what to trust.By the end, you'll feel:Less tangled in the doubt and second-guessing that comes with absorbing others' emotionsMore at peace with the tension between honoring your intuition and setting boundariesA curious sense of relief that your sensitivity might mean something very different than you thought✨✨ If this episode spoke to the part of you that's been told you're “too sensitive”… You don't need to harden or shut down your heart to feel safe. The Sacred Directions Archetypes can help you understand your sensitivity as part of a larger spiritual design. They reveal how your gifts are meant to work, and why they sometimes feel overwhelming until you learn how to honor them.

Meet Tammy

Laken Snelling & The Narcissism Epidemic: When Image Outranks Empathy Quick legal note up top: Laken Snelling has pleaded not guilty. A preliminary autopsy was inconclusive with further testing pending. There is no homicide charge at this time. She waived her preliminary hearing, and the case is now with a grand jury. Those facts stand while we talk about culture. Tonight's episode isn't a debate over statutes—it's a post-mortem on the air a lot of young women are breathing. The filings outline a sequence after birth—wrap, place, clean—and investigators say they found deleted photos reportedly taken during labor along with searches about a concealed pregnancy. There's also a statement to medical staff about seeing movement and hearing a “whimper”—not a medical finding, but a detail in the documents that changed the temperature of the room the moment people read it. What ties those beats together isn't politics; it's image management. We dig into how a narcissism epidemic—not clinical labels, but learned habits—trains an image-first reflex: protect the brand, keep the feed clean, make the optics unbreakable, even when reality is doing the opposite. We're not shaming grooming; we're interrogating curation as morality. Why does “looking composed” in court hit like a symbol in a case where concealment is central to the filings? What does it mean when the best-practiced skill in a crisis is deletion, not disclosure? We walk through the verified spine (birth → concealment → court) and explain, in plain English, how algorithmic reward systems push visibility without vulnerability—and how that can harden into callousness when the stakes are human. No speculation, no graphic detail, and no shortcuts around the legal guardrails. If new lab results or grand jury actions change the record, we'll update. But the cultural takeaway is already here: if you train kids to value the avatar over the actual, don't be surprised when the avatar wins. The fix isn't a slogan; it's formation. Train empathy like a skill. Choose the human, not the brand.
