Podcasts about Empathy

Are you secretly dodging the doctor's office out of fear it might hurt? You're not alone—and it's more common than you think. In this week's episode of The Skin Real, Dr. Mina dives into the real reasons so many of us avoid care and shares her top five ways to make your next dermatology visit actually less painful. Whether it's fear of needles, past trauma, or just not wanting to be poked and prodded, this episode is packed with tips to help you get the care you need without the panic attack. Key Takeaways: - Fear of the doctor is real—and valid. Many adults experience anxiety around doctor visits, especially when needles or potential diagnoses are involved. - Needle fear is on the rise.

Understanding what to expect at your appointment can significantly reduce fear. - You can minimize the pain. Simple strategies like numbing patches or distraction techniques can make procedures much more bearable. - Your health is worth it.

So much is happening, and it is all about to get very real. The influencers show, and how they work their scams. We truly need a real media. Our culture is being rebranded. Epstein was everywhere. Many that are outraged now, were clients then. We have flight logs and black books. We're dealing with assets not rumors. BTW, Israel is not our friend. Les Wexner was the biggest pedo of all and had graves on his property. The latest SCOTUS ruling was huge. Now, the administration can finally get up and running. Poking the hornet's nest. Next week Tore's in D.C. Controlled exposure is what we're watching. Many are extremely mistaken. Let things simmer and don't eat dirt. Why are confirmations taking so long? Trump lives in so many head rent free. The self exposure is fascinating to watch. People want tribunals. Nuremberg 2.0. The rituals of restoration. Evil people don't see themselves. Jesus confronted evil. Emotional revenge is real. Protecting the innocent is righteous. Stop participating in the division. The CCP owns our ports and airports. China is everywhere. The Israel psyop exchange. Situational intensity incoming. As events unfold, remember everything we know. And always be willing to help those around you understand.

Lewis is back from his week-long comedy curation in upstate New York where he spent his 4th of July performing live. He returned to the madness of the day to commiserate with the rest of us about how the Boss' Big Beautiful Bill isn't really any of those things. But at least he has Prime Day to look forward too, right? He's planning on following that up with a safari in Africa, where he hopes by the time he's scheduled to return, he will be allowed to.

1st Annual Global Neurodivergent Leaders Summit 2025   This event spotlighted the brilliance of leaders who were once labeled as “disabled” simply because they think differently.   These trailblazers—CEOs, Global speakers, Executive coaches, and Industry Titans from Banking, Real Estate, and the Global Sales and Marketing —have leveraged their ADHD, dyslexia, OCD, and other forms of neurodivergence as superpowers that set them apart. Let's celebrate and elevate those who are changing the world—not in spite of how they think, but because of it.   Raymond Kemp Title: Navigating with a Different Compass (Leading with ADHD in a Neurotypical World) Summary: Leadership isn't reserved for those who think in straight lines. It's about clarity, self-command, and the courage to lead from exactly where you are. I want every leader in the room—whether neurodivergent or not—to walk away knowing that different doesn't mean deficient. When you understand your wiring and Own the Helm, your unique perspective becomes a competitive advantage, not a compromise.   Kathy Marcino Title: Coaching Through Conflict: Learn Strategies for Identifying Conflict Types, Successfully Navigating Workplace Conflict, and Turning It into Positive Growth. Summary: “Disagreement holds the potential for deeper understanding.” When conflict is managed effectively, it can drive innovation and enhance team performance. In this session, Kathy Marcino walks leaders through a structured path for transforming disagreements into shared goals and solutions. Drawing from her extensive coaching experience, she equips participants with a framework to recognize early warning signs, stay grounded in difficult conversations, and co-create lasting resolutions that strengthen team dynamics and performance.   Dan Dominguez Title: Embrace Your Neurodivergent Edge: How Self-Awareness Fuels Resilient Leadership Summary: When I first entered the military, I thought I had to be just like everyone else—follow the rules, fit in, and never let my differences show. But in the heat of tough missions, something clicked: the way my mind worked—my neurodivergent wiring—wasn't a liability. It was my edge. Later, in the world of sales, I saw the same truth again: those traits I once hid—my intense focus, my out-of-the-box thinking, my deep desire to help others—were exactly what helped me forge real connections and close deals. It took self-awareness to stop fighting those parts of myself and start using them as strengths. In this talk, I share that journey, along with a simple framework—Recognize, Accept, Celebrate—to help others stop hiding and start embracing their own neurodivergent edge. My story is a reminder: your greatest leadership potential lies not in fitting in, but in owning and celebrating who you really are. Paul McCarthy Title: Drowning out the voices we need to hear. Why F.I.R.E.D. leaders are your 'hidden gems' Summary: Two Options:Talk Summary 1 To survive disruption, organizations need leaders who possess disruptive leadership capabilities. So they hire them and then they fire them. Publicly, organizations say they want leaders to be innovative thinkers who challenge the status quo. Privately, conventional leadership culture wants nothing of the sort. Leaders with disruptive leadership capabilities often embody the very leadership qualities that organizations so desperately need to navigate disruption and adapt to the “new normal” of constant change, yet these leaders are being marginalized, ostracized, and even exorcised from today's organizations. We will need a different kind of leader for the future and our organizations are unprepared for how to identify, recruit, onboard, and develop this kind of leader. Join us for a radical, refreshing talk with Paul McCarthy, as openly talks about the untalkable, questions the unquestionable, and reframes perceptions about the leadership we desperately need for our times. Paul will share insights from his own experiences as a leader with disruptive leadership capabilities, as well as from his global research and first best-selling book into how individual leaders can be identified, cultivated, and embraced for being disruptive. He will also help us to understand how we can identify disruptive leadership capacity and capability. Talk Summary 2 Paul takes audiences on an exploratory journey to imagine a future where leaders who are currently perceived as 'not fitting in' or as 'bad culture fits' are the ones that organizations will increasingly need to thrive in a constantly changing environment. Yet these leaders are being marginalized, ostracized, and even exorcised from today's organizations. Using his own personal experiences, as well as research, case studies and outputs of interviews, Paul introduces the F.I.R.E.D. Leadership Framework and shows organizations why we need to embrace leaders who think differently. By helping reframe how organizations perceive their 'agitators', Paul shows how to cut through the noise to equip those organizations with the approach needed to create the next generation of leaders our world so desperately needs to successfully navigate ongoing disruption, continue to innovate and deliver transformative outcomes.   Dr. Regeline “Gigi” Sabbat Title: “You Can Lead” ( Regardless if you are Neurodivergent you can lead. - Dr. Gigi Sabbat)   Summary: Absolutely — being neurodivergent does not limit your ability to lead. In fact, many neurodivergent individuals bring exceptional strengths to leadership, such as: • Unique perspectives and creativity • High levels of focus and dedication • Empathy and emotional intelligence • Innovative problem-solving • Resilience and adaptability Leadership isn't about fitting a mold — it's about authenticity, vision, and the courage to empower others. Whether you're neurodivergent or not, your lived experiences can shape you into a powerful, impactful leader. Manny Piñiero Title: “Wired Differently - Neurodivergent Leadership and the Power of Intentional Time" Summary: Wired differently, I thrive in navigating complexity, identifying patterns others may overlook, and creating meaningful systems that honor both people and outcomes. My connection to time is not just about efficiency, it's about intentionality. I believe in making time count by aligning actions with purpose, fostering environments that empower teams to do the work that truly matters, while leading with clarity, empathy, and a deep respect for the diverse ways people think, work, and thrive.   Holly White Title: Radical is Relative: Trusting Your Instincts Before the World Catches Up Summary: Some of the most powerful insights come from minds that don't follow conventional paths. In this talk, I explore how ADHD-related cognition—nonlinear, spontaneous, and deeply intuitive—often leads to ideas that feel radical to others but entirely natural to the thinker. We'll examine why these ideas meet resistance, how traits like discomfort with uncertainty affect their reception, and what it means to trust your instincts in a world that hasn't caught up yet. Whether you're the one generating paradigm-shifting ideas or the one receiving them, “trust the process” becomes more than a mantra—it's a model for creative courage, leadership, and cognitive integrity.   Rosie Ward Title: Ditch the Head Trash! Upgrade Your Faulty Programming So You Can Maximize Your Impact Summary: Being human is messy. We are hardwired to be on high alert for threats, activating our biological hardwired instincts to self-protect and cling tightly to what is familiar. Yet our world demands that we are able to lean into discomfort and disruption. This creates a gap that keeps us stuck more than we realize. This session will normalize our shared human experience for why we get in our own way as a result of our 7 Faulty Programs and give you tangible tools to upgrade your own faulty programming so you can embrace your own sparkle and maximize your shine and impact around you.   David Citron Title: Unleash Your ADHD Superpower in 4 Minutes a Day Summary: In this talk, David Citron, founder of Expressocoaching.com which serves ADHDers who lead organisations in 31 countries worldwide shares the 3 keys to unleashing your ADHD Superpower as a neurodivergent leader. This powerful methodology which has a 4.8* Trustpilot rating from thrilled leaders around the world can change the next 30 years of your life. Expresso has been used by everyone from small business owners to large corporations like Microsoft in order to bring out the very best from the talented neurodivergents in their senior leadership team. Kick back and listen to the story of how the Expresso ADHD revolution began with one client called Joe who had a peculiarly, frustrating challenge. Kent Cravens Title: Expect Authenticity?......Be Authentic Yourself. Tips on building a culture based on Authenticity And Trust   Summary Many of us spend more waking hours with our work teams than we get to spend with our families. Authenticity And Trust are essential elements to creating a work environment that leads to sustained satisfaction and longevity in your team. Here are some tips to make sure you're moving in the right direction.  

"We all need to have radical hope. I have my really hopeless days too, but… it's such a privilege to get to live and to survive. Our job is to live, and I think that's a really amazing thing.” - Jasmine WargaWe all want to make the most of our time here. Not just survive, but dream big and live fully.

Today's episode is a little more personal. A reflection. A struggle.Because lately, I've been wondering: Is empathy under attack? And if so, how do we as leaders, parents, citizens—and humans—continue to lead with empathy in a world that sometimes seems to mock, punish, or politicize it?So today, I want to pull back the curtain and talk about what it's like to do this work, and why—despite it all—I continue to fight for empathy at work, in leadership, and our culture at large.Let's dive in. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:In a chaotic world, cruelty often gets mistaken for strength. Empathy is not about coddling and indulgence but about the courage to pause and listen, not to react.Three small but powerful steps to resist the tide of cruelty and amplify empathy instead: model it, name it, protect it."Empathy is not weak, naive, or political. It is what allows us to build trust, resolve conflict, and create workplaces where people—and performance—can thrive." - Maria RossEpisode References: FREE upcoming 2-day virtual leadership event with me!

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his exploration of generosity, focusing on Day 96 from Orchos Tzaddikim (page 567, Treasure for Life edition). He emphasizes that generosity is a habit, a muscle strengthened through consistent giving, regardless of one's financial means. Citing the Rambam, he explains that giving small amounts frequently, like a dollar a million times, builds this habit more effectively than a single large donation. Rabbi Wolbe shares personal anecdotes, such as a man who always donates to the synagogue's charity box despite limited means, and his own efforts to give eagerly during the Torch campaign, highlighting the importance of giving with joy and humanity, not reluctance or kvetching, to instill a culture of generosity in future generations.Rabbi Wolbe stresses the highest form of charity: giving anonymously, where neither the giver nor the recipient knows the other's identity, as exemplified by organizations like Tomche Shabbos, which discreetly supports families in need. He recounts stories, including one where he fulfilled a friend's request to feed a hungry person in Israel, underscoring the privilege of giving with kindness. Quoting scriptures and sages, he warns against giving with a sour expression or avoiding charity, equating such avoidance to idolatry, as it prioritizes money over God's will. The episode concludes with a call to treat the poor with love, as they may be God testing one's generosity, with rewards proportional to the kindness shown.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 10, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 8, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

The episode concludes with a call to treat the poor with love, as they may be God testing one's generosity, with rewards proportional to the kindness shown.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 10, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 8, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Even being confronted with something that is weird or uncomfortable: it's character growth. You have to ask the question: why is this person doing this weird thing? It's a good exercise in empathy, to be perfectly honest. Why is this person doing this thing? Why does that make me uncomfortable? What, what is it about my perception that has shaped this experience for me? I feel like those are really essential questions for us to be constantly asking ourselves, especially in an age where there's a lot of discord, a lot of dissent and a lot of disagreement. And the better we understand ourselves, the better we're able to engage with humans who are different than us.My conversation with Meghan Moe Beitiks, assistant professor in theatre at Concordia University in Montreal. Meghan Moe is an artist and designer working with associations and disassociations of culture, nature and structure. Our mutual friend Ian Garrett thought we might get along. We did. Our conversation focused on Meghan Moe's Angles of Consequence project, a season of site-specific performances with Canadian performers to create work with reflected sunlight in key sites of climate advocacy and destruction in Québec. Meghan Moe and I had tea in Montreal. It was a very, enlightening, conversation. Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AI:Action pointsRecognize art's crucial role in processing emotions and spreading information during crises.Explore the use of reflected sunlight in art to highlight climate change issues.Support Indigenous resistance against fossil fuel expansion as an effective climate action.Consider the impact of positionality (literal and cultural) on our perspectives.Utilize resources like Canada Green Tools to calculate and reduce the carbon footprint of events.Story PreviewImagine art that dances with the sun, revealing hidden truths about our planet's climate crisis.

In this episode, we listen as Nate opens with a deeply human inquiry:What can I do to feel more regulated, more considerate, and less internally violent while driving?What unfolds is a rich exploration of road rage, internalized judgment, overstimulation, and the longing for care in a world that often feels aggressively indifferent. The conversation weaves together Nonviolent Communication, inner child work, trauma-informed insight, and the power of spiritual reframing.Takeaways:Driving can surface deep, unconscious wounds about safety, visibility, and being cared for.There's a difference between coping with a dysregulating world and designing a life that actually supports you.The wish to be “unaffected” is often a defensive maneuver to avoid overwhelm or pain,but true regulation requires learning how to metabolize life, not numb to it.“Right and wrong” can become tyrannical ideas when inherited from domination systems. Replacing them with “what meets needs” offers deeper integrity.Empathy begins by reclaiming your relationship with your own interior world.Everything (yes, even rush hour) can become a spiritual dojo.Join me this summer for my Holding Hope and Truth Over Comfort Mini-Workshops.

In this episode, we reflect on what it means to protect our heart, even when circumstances try to erode our spirit and break our willpower.

Your story has power—but only if you take the time to own it. Dr. Michelle Robin reflects on the decade since her life-altering bike accident, sharing how the real healing happened not just in her body, but in her mindset, her purpose, and her ability to receive. This part of the journey is about slowing down, listening deeper, and choosing to see the experience as something that happened for her, not to her. With honesty and heart, she invites us to ask better questions, embrace our own medicine, and build rhythms of well-being that support us when life shifts unexpectedly. Key Takeaways: Writing your wellness story can reveal patterns, healing gaps, and insights that support future growth. Empathy deepens when you've personally experienced pain, and that shift can transform how you show up for others. Learning to receive—help, support, love—is a skill that strengthens your ability to heal. Comparing your gifts to others only dims your light; your unique “medicine” is exactly what the world needs. Hope is the missing ingredient in many wellness journeys—find it, cultivate it, and protect it.   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at: https://smallchangesbigshifts.com hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco   Thanks for listening!

Mark shares another thoughtful discussion with Dr. Joe, this time on AI, fear of judgment, and the evolving relationship between humans and technology! This episode was originally heard on The Dr. Joe Show Takeaways The fear of judgment can inhibit personal growth and experiences. Engaging in karaoke can help individuals overcome their fears. AI can assist in content creation but requires human input for creativity. Empathy is a crucial differentiator between AI and human intelligence. Quality of life is subjective and varies from person to person. AI has the potential to improve quality of life by addressing individual needs. AI can help level the playing field and distribute resources more equitably. The rapid advancement of AI technology raises questions about its implications for society. Understanding the nature of intelligence is essential in the context of AI. Collaboration between humans and AI can lead to innovative solutions for complex problems.

Send us a textWhat does it mean to be the quarterback of your family? Charles Manning, founder of Face the World and lacrosse enthusiast, takes us on a deeply personal journey through his experiences as a father, grandfather, and leader in business and sport.Growing up in Australia as one of five siblings, Charles shares how a childhood tragedy transformed his family when his younger brother was hit by a car at age five. Rather than breaking his family apart, this challenge taught Charles profound lessons about empathy, service, and unconditional love that would shape his approach to fatherhood and leadership. "From tragedy quite often comes blessings," Charles reflects, explaining how this pivotal moment ultimately led him to meet his wife and create the life he now cherishes.The conversation dives into the core values that guide Charles as a father – service, abundance, and patience. With remarkable candor, he explores his struggle to overcome what he calls the "Italian fire up" – a tendency toward emotional reactions that he's worked to temper throughout his life. "The higher the emotions get, the lower the level of intelligence is put on the table," he explains, offering a powerful insight for parents everywhere.Perhaps most valuable is Charles's framework for understanding the "drama triangle" and why many parents fall into the trap of rescuing rather than teaching their children. "Our job as a parent is not to rescue, it's to teach," he emphasizes, challenging listeners to become facilitators who help their children develop problem-solving skills. He also introduces the concept of energy givers versus energy takers, providing a lens through which we can evaluate our impact on others.Whether you're early in your parenting journey or reflecting on a lifetime of fatherhood, Charles's wisdom about cultivating curiosity, practicing patience, and leaving a meaningful legacy will inspire you to become not just a better parent, but a better human. Listen now and discover how to lead your family with both strength and heart.Please don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts! Please help us get more dads to listen weekly and become the ultimate leader of their homes!

Stephen Sakach emphasizes that businesses can serve as a force for good by integrating kindness into their core values, which not only drives success but also contributes positively to society. This conscious capitalist model encourages organizations to look beyond mere profit, focusing instead on the impact they can have on their employees, customers, and communities. By fostering a culture of empathy and social responsibility, companies can create meaningful connections that resonate with their audience and enhance overall brand loyalty. Stephen's approach highlights the tangible benefits of empathetic marketing, where organizations that prioritize kindness often see improved employee morale and customer satisfaction. When employees feel valued and supported, they are more likely to deliver exceptional service, leading to a more engaged and loyal customer base. This internal culture of kindness not only strengthens the organization but also positions it as a leader in a marketplace that increasingly values authenticity and meaningful relationships.

Have you ever asked yourself: When was the last time I stepped outside my comfort zone? How do I make sure I'm intentionally setting a positive example for my kids? Am I encouraging my children to take extra steps? In an era dominated by online interactions and instant applications, it's easy to think that old-fashioned manners and direct communication have become obsolete. But as this episode of The Dad Edge reveals, those little “extra” steps are exactly what set people apart—in job interviews, difficult situations, and life in general Today, Ethan Hagner recounts his journey to land a summer job—not just sending in online applications, but suiting up, showing up in person, introducing himself, and even dropping off a thank-you note after a surprise interview.  As Larry points out, these simple, direct actions are the "gold" from previous generations—habits that build character and open doors Ethan Hagner also teases out how small acts of empathy and presence, learned in everyday family life, are already preparing him for bigger moments—like shadowing firefighters and helping his injured dad. The episode underscores the importance of empathy, remaining calm under pressure, and showing up wholeheartedly—in family crises, career moments, and daily interactions. As Larry puts it, “Control the controllables”—focus on what you can do, and do it with intention. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital episode, we dig into: Old-School Gold for the Next Generation: Larry reflects on the lost art of face-to-face interactions, handshakes, and eye contact, and how these “little” things are game-changers in both personal and professional life. Ethan chimes in with stories from his own journey, showing just how powerful simple, intentional actions can be. Handling Life's Dark and Difficult Moments: Ethan opens up about shadowing at the local fire department and preparing to face tough situations as a future firefighter. With honest talk about nervousness and empathy, the guys highlight how staying calm, focused, and supportive in chaos is a true superpower. Larry recounts a recent accident and how Ethan's steady approach driving him to the hospital—in the middle of nowhere, no cell signal, potholes galore—proved his grit and composure. Bringing Back Legendary Manners: There's a clear call to action here: Dads, let's teach (and model) the old-school habits that make a difference—shaking hands, making eye contact, showing up, following through, and, yes, even thank you notes. These are the moves that open doors and build relationships for life. This episode offers powerful stories, practical advice, and the reminder to always lead by example.
