Podcasts about Empathy

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...   Why your child may not calm down, even when you lead with empathy and connection. How to redefine what it means for a strategy to “work” in the heat of the moment. The role of patience and presence when your child's nervous system just isn't ready to shift. Why successful co-regulation doesn't always mean a calm child. How to disengage without disconnecting—and why that can sometimes be the most effective approach. Practical ways to support yourself so you can stay regulated when your child isn't.   If you've ever tried "all the right things" and still found yourself stuck with a child who can't calm down, this episode will help you feel validated, supported, and grounded in what you can (and can't) control.     REFERENCES AND RELATED RESOURCES:

We say we want transformation, but often we create environments that protect people from pain instead of preparing them for growth. In the process, we enable spiritual stagnation, emotional fragility, and shallow discipleship. This week on Win Today, Katie Davis Majors exposes the hidden dangers of well-meaning empathy, the false security of “safe spaces,” and the clichés that erode authentic faith. In this conversation, we'll also tackle how to live faithfully in the tension between what God has promised and what we see right now. If you've ever found yourself numbing pain instead of processing it, or if you've settled for comfort instead of maturity, this conversation will challenge you to grow, even when it costs you.

This week's episode is all about documentary narration. Voiceover actor Paula Tiso joins me to share her journey from sketch comedy in Los Angeles to working steadily in promos, radio imaging, true crime, and documentary series. We talk about training, the shift from “perky” reads to grounded storytelling, and what it really takes to support a story with your voice. About Paula: Paula Tiso is a veteran voiceover actor whose work spans documentary narration, true crime, television affiliates, video games, and more. She's voiced Smithsonian Channel documentaries, Oxygen and ID series like Living with a Serial Killer and The Devil Speaks, and brought characters to life in games including Final Fantasy X, No More Heroes, and Fallout 76. Whether narrating history, guiding audiences through true crime, or connecting viewers to their local TV stations, Paula's voice combines warmth, authority, and authenticity.   From Comedy to Narration Paula started out in sketch comedy and found her way into voiceover through commercial training. She explains how those early skills built the foundation for narration work across genres. True Crime and Empathy Narrating true crime requires neutrality and steadiness. At the same time, it calls for empathy when addressing victims and families. Paula shares how she prepares for heavy scripts and keeps her delivery both clear and compassionate. Core Skills for Narrators Commercial training as a base for timing and clarity Adaptability when scripts change mid-session Authenticity in the read, not a “performance” Curiosity to keep learning and exploring new material Preparation that marks cues and supports clean delivery Types of Documentary Narration Nature: slow pacing, voice supports the picture History: sometimes includes character inserts, with age shifts in voice In-show and lifestyle: friendly and helpful Promos and affiliates: concise and reliable Building a Career Paula describes narration as building a career vine by vine, one connection leading to the next. She emphasizes curiosity, preparation, and adaptability as the keys to staying relevant.

Looking 4 Healing Radio with Dr. Angelina Farella – The most disappointing thing to me was the horrible responses from some “medical professionals;” worse, were the physicians who spewed vile on social media platforms. One doctor stated that the assassin's target “deserved to die” in front of a nurses' station and a patient. The nurse who responded to this stated, “How can you, as a doctor, say that?”

It's easy to think that some people are empathetic while others are not. And it's true that empathy comes more instinctively to some than others. But did you know that Jesus created your brain for empathy? This means that all of us naturally long to share the experience of being seen and known by God and each other.Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi discuss the gift of mirror neurons — brain cells that help us "feel with" those around us. You'll learn how to partner with Jesus to reflect the thoughts and feelings of others back to them by asking curious questions, attuning to their emotions, and being a warm presence.Resources for this Episode:Deeply Loved: Receiving and Reflecting God's Great Empathy for YouAttend a Soul Shepherding RetreatMeet with a Soul Shepherding Spiritual DirectorDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

You were made to live deeply loved—yes, even in the middle of emotional pain, worry, or conflict. But too often, when we’re hurting, we hide. We pull away from God and others, settling for shallow connections and carrying our burdens alone. What’s missing? Empathy. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I’m joined by Drs. Bill and Kristi Gaultiere, co-founders of Soul Shepherding and authors of Deeply Loved: Receiving and Reflecting God's Great Empathy for You. In this powerful conversation, we discuss: *How to trade self-judgment for God’s empathy and grace *How empathy heals emotional wounds and helps us overcome distress *The Four A’s of Empathy—and how to practice them with yourself and others *How Jesus models empathy and invites you to experience His understanding and care Empathy is not coddling. It’s not rescuing. True empathy respects God’s truth, empowers personal responsibility, and brings deep soul healing. I pray this conversation helps you feel deeply loved by God—and gives you the courage to offer that same love and empathy to others. Read the Show Notes: Writing - Rachael K.

We talk about whether empathy can be taught or if it's an inborn trait, the evidence for how empathy improves measurable outcomes, and what shifts we need to make to more fully bring empathy into work.

What if the chaos on the sidelines could be replaced with calm, connection, and character-building moments? In this profoundly insightful episode, we sit down with Jonathan Carone, the creator of Healthy Sports Parents, a fast-growing podcast and social media movement that's transforming how we view youth sports. With over 70,000 followers and 2 million monthly views, Jonathan's message is clear: youth sports are not about raising great athletes — they're about raising great humans. From sideline meltdowns to teachable moments, he shares how sports can become a virtual classroom for life, teaching resilience, teamwork, responsibility, and emotional intelligence. Whether you're a parent, coach, or simply someone who's seen a youth game go off the rails, this episode will leave you inspired to shift your mindset and parent with intention — from the bleachers and beyond. You'll also hear about his upcoming book, The Sideline Survival Guide, and how a side project grew into a national movement with endorsements from Olympians and Division 1 coaches. Key Takeaways: Youth sports should be a classroom, not a competition. Emotional chaos on the sidelines affects kids deeply — awareness is key. Parenting from the sidelines means cheering, not coaching. Empathy and self-awareness lead to better sideline behavior. Responsibility and resilience are the real trophies of youth sports. The 10 Commandments of Healthy Sports Parenting are changing lives. Generational impact starts with you showing up differently today.   CONNECT WITH JONATHAN Healthy Sports Parents Podcast: https://healthysportsparents.com/#listen  Weekend Playbook Email Newsletter: Friday insights for parents to reset before game day.

Charlie Kirk: Sympathy vs. Empathy AND we should all use both when needed! We will need it in life and we should use them in life! This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm

My guest is Dr. Christof Koch, PhD, a pioneering researcher on the topic of consciousness, an investigator at the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the chief scientist at the Tiny Blue Dot Foundation. We discuss the neuroscience of consciousness—how it arises in our brain, how it shapes our identity and how we can modify and expand it. Dr. Koch explains how we all experience life through a unique “perception box,” which holds our beliefs, our memories and thus our biases about reality. We discuss how human consciousness is changed by meditation, non-sleep deep rest, psychedelics, dreams and virtual reality. We also discuss neuroplasticity (rewiring the brain), flow states and the ever-changing but also persistent aspect of the “collective consciousness” of humanity.

Design Empathy and Contextual Awareness: Frames of Reference for the 21st Century Creative by Wayne K. Li https://www.amazon.com/Design-Empathy-Contextual-Awareness-Reference/dp/1529438217 https://id.gatech.edu/people/wayne-li One of the biggest challenges facing designers across all fields is not simply in the design of the product or service itself, but rather how to arrive at a design solution that resonates with a target audience, that will have a higher than likely chance at market adoption, and that will avoid negatively impacting society or the environment. What are the skills that can be employed by a student or young professional creative early on that enable them to identify the issues at work and address them? By understanding design from human-centered perspectives - both from the customer's and the producer's point of view - innovative, resonant designs are possible. Design Empathy and Contextual Awareness demystifies the "fuzzy" front end of the design process, where research methods mix with business trends and marketing. The accessible, authoritative text presents design as neither merely a "trade" skill nor an exercise in personal creative vision, but rather the application of multiple mindsets and practices, built around a process of alternating points of view (or "frames"). As well as covering theory and process, this visually engaging book also provides real-life business examples and applicable templates to help designers hone their empathy and contextual awareness in order to more directly and efficiently achieve successful design outcomes. Chapters cover: Laying a foundation: design as a whole-brain activity Design behaviors: design as a whole-life activity Empathy: cognitive and emotional empathy, and compassionate concern Contextual awareness: cultivating your designer's sixth senseAbout the author Wayne K. Li is the James L. Oliver Professor, holding a joint position between the Colleges of Design and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. He leads joint teaching initiatives and advances interdisciplinary collaboration between mechanical engineering and industrial design through classes and the Innovation and Design Collaborative, also known as the "Design Bloc," while also serving as a principal design consultant at Wayne Li Design. Li's research areas include ethnographic research, multidisciplinary education, and human-machine interaction in transportation design. His career spans industry and academia. Li has led innovation and market expansion for Pottery Barn seasonal home products, taught in Stanford University's design program, led interface development at Volkswagen of America's Electronics Research Laboratory, and developed corporate brand and vehicle differentiation strategies at Ford Motor Company. He has also worked as a product designer at IDEO Product Development. Li holds a Master of Science in Engineering from Stanford University, and undergraduate degrees in Fine Arts (Design) and Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin.

Introducing “The Four Heavies" - manipulation, intimidation, coercion, and deceit - in today's episode, McKay demonstrates the detrimental impact they can have on individuals and organizations. He argues that while these tactics may yield short-term results, they create unhealthy patterns in mental and emotional development, ultimately undermining trust and growth.McKay illustrates these effects with personal stories: Anna's anxiety from manipulation, Marcus's isolation from intimidation, and Lena's trust issues from deceit. He extends this to corporate failures like Enron and Wells Fargo, showing how "The Heavies" disrupt brain development and foster toxic cultures. Our host then offers actionable alternatives: focusing on potential, modeling calmness, and cultivating empathy. Join him today to transform your parenting and leadership for lasting success.Main Themes:"The Four Heavies" (manipulation, intimidation, coercion, deceit) are detrimental to individual development and organizational culture.Childhood experiences of "The Four Heavies" profoundly impact brain development, emotional regulation, and future relationships.Organizational cultures can mirror individual parenting styles, leading to systemic problems when built on "The Four Heavies."Focusing on the potential of others fosters growth and healthy relationships.Modeling calm, desired behavior creates a safe environment for emotional processing and learning.Empathy is a powerful tool for connection and leadership, leading to trust and attraction.Positivity correlates with success, even more than aptitude.Avoiding "The Four Heavies" leads to more effective leadership, greater satisfaction, and positive impact.Self-compassion is important as we strive for improvement.Top 10 Quotes:"The long-term effect of using ‘The Four Heavies' is extremely unhealthy.""Underneath the surface, we all have a richer, more valuable person.""When we see this potential, it's natural to lead genuinely and authentically.""Coercion uses fear or punishment to force behavior.""When individuals feel manipulated or unsafe, they seek healthier environments.""Being calm invites reasoning and thinking.""Positivity heavily correlates to predicting a person's success, even if they lacked aptitude."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

Hour 1- Dr. Wendy is helping relationships succeed. We are talking rejection, empathy, and trust. The recipe for love. It's all on KFIAM-640.

In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, Dr. Andi Simon welcomes a remarkable young entrepreneur, Sana Ali, whose story is as surprising as it is inspiring. Just twelve years old, Sana has already built a reputation as a digital strategist helping coaches, consultants, and creators transform their online engagement into real business results. Her journey from Karachi, Pakistan, to an international podcast platform is a testament to curiosity, resilience, and the entrepreneurial spirit. A Journey Sparked by Curiosity and Encouragement Sana's story began in 2023, when she was only ten years old. With encouragement from her mother, she shifted her time away from passive entertainment toward learning coding and building websites. Very quickly, she not only mastered skills far beyond her years but began to attract attention from adults—some twice or three times her age—who turned to her for guidance. This early success underscored a truth that continues to shape her path: ambition and focus are not limited by age. Her initial LinkedIn presence grew rapidly, amassing thousands of followers. But because she was underage, the platform eventually banned her account. Instead of giving up, Sana started again, this time with a clearer vision. Rather than focusing only on coding, she saw an opportunity to address a widespread challenge: many professionals were generating likes, comments, and followers on LinkedIn, yet struggling to convert that visibility into paying clients. Sana stepped into this gap with a simple but powerful insight—engagement is nice, but clients are better. Sana Ali is Building a New Model on LinkedIn With her fresh approach, Sana began optimizing LinkedIn funnels. She mapped out the journey from a cold prospect to a high-ticket client, showing coaches and consultants how to stop chasing vanity metrics and start building sustainable revenue. One of her earliest breakthroughs came when a skeptical prospect realized that, despite thousands of followers, they were making no money. Sana provided strategic adjustments and, to their surprise, turned the engagement into paying clients. That success story became the first of many case studies demonstrating the effectiveness of her methods. In conversation with Andi, Sana explained how the tactics of outreach have shifted over the years. Cold pitches and generic compliments that may have worked in 2015 no longer resonate in 2025. Instead, the new “currency” is trust. Building trust requires empathy, genuine compliments, thoughtful questions, and adding value without immediately pushing for a sale. For Sana, this approach is not theoretical—it is the lived experience of someone whose age initially raised doubts, yet whose results quickly silenced them. The Core of Her Success: Trust and Empathy Throughout the discussion, Sana emphasized that trust is the foundation of client relationships today. Prospects are savvy, often wary of sales pitches, and increasingly skeptical about whether they are interacting with a real human or an AI bot. Sana has mastered the art of demonstrating authenticity—through personalized conversations, empathy for her clients' situations, and valuable insights freely given before any sales conversation. One example she shared involved a client who joined a call while ill. Instead of pressing forward, Sana suggested rescheduling, showing genuine care for the individual. That small act of empathy built immediate trust, leading to a long-term client relationship. Stories like these highlight her maturity, compassion, and business acumen far beyond her years. Lessons for Entrepreneurs of All Ages The episode closes with reflections on Sana's journey and her advice for young entrepreneurs: age should never be seen as a limitation. Whether learning coding at ten or advising adults on LinkedIn strategy by twelve, she has proven that commitment and ambition can accelerate success at any stage of life. For her, the choice to spend time building a business rather than playing video games has opened doors to opportunities she once could not have imagined. For listeners of On the Brink, this episode is more than an inspiring story—it is a reminder of how quickly the business landscape is changing, and how younger generations are not just adapting but leading. Sana Ali embodies the entrepreneurial mindset: seeing opportunities, embracing change, and building trust in a world where trust itself has become the most valuable commodity.

In this solo episode, I dive into a topic that often gets overlooked in the hunting world—empathy. From guiding first-time hunters through their emotions to respecting the sacrifice of the animal, empathy plays a powerful role in how we hunt, how we connect with clients, and how we are perceived as a community. I explore: Why empathy matters in professional hunting Supporting clients through nerves, doubts, and their first harvest Respecting the animal and telling its story with dignity Building understanding between hunters, landowners, and even non-hunters How empathy strengthens conservation efforts Hunting is not just about the pursuit—it's about respect, understanding, and responsibility. Join me as I unpack why empathy is not a weakness, but one of the greatest strengths in the field.

Can empathy be a bad thing? This week, Alex and Scott sit down with Joe Rigney, Fellow of Theology at New Saint Andrew's College and pastor, as they explore the challenges of Christian leadership, ministry, and missions, and the dangers of emotional sabotage and untethered empathy. Rigney explains that in times of turmoil, leaders must maintain mission clarity and resist being derailed by reactive or manipulative pressures within their organizations. Joe Rigney discusses that rather than being an unqualified good, empathy can be wielded as emotional blackmail, steering ministries away from their God-given purposes. They also focus on principles of mobilization and missions. Rigney stresses that appeals to missions should be rooted not in guilt but in gratitude, joy, and faith in God's future grace. Key Topics The concept of mission drift and how institutions get derailed in anxious times Difference between biblical compassion and untethered empathy The dangers of empathy as emotional blackmail and manipulation How appeals to missions should be based on truth and joy, not guilt Building sober-minded, resilient leaders who can withstand cultural and emotional pressures Being a godly husband and father isn't about one big heroic act, it's about showing up every day. Men need a simple, practical plan to stay faithful in the daily grind. How To Lead Your Family is a no-nonsense guide, from author Joel Beeke, that gives the biblical foundation, Christ-centered encouragement, practical advice for men to purse the high standards that God calls them too.

In this Teisho, given on August 10th, 2025, Rinzan Osho examines Lingzhao's Helping from The Hidden Lamp. Koan's ask us to explore depths not accessible by normal modes of thinking. In this context, this koan asks us to explore what is it to be of help beyond seeking a particular outcome.

In this episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into the laws of charity (tzedakah) from Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 34, emphasizing the priority of supporting one's family, such as older children or impoverished parents, before others, and extending this to relatives, locals, and those in distant cities. He highlights the importance of giving with a joyful countenance and empathy, warning that a sour attitude nullifies the mitzvah's merit, even for large sums, and encourages comforting the poor as one would family. Rabbi Wolbe stresses anonymous giving to preserve dignity, the highest form being preventive aid like loans or partnerships to foster self-sufficiency, and supporting Torah scholars honorably, noting that influencing others to give yields greater rewards than giving alone.Rabbi Wolbe advises recipients to avoid charity if possible, preferring even menial work to maintain independence, citing Talmudic examples of scholars in humble trades. He condemns deceitfully taking charity but praises those who endure hardship to avoid burdening others, promising divine reward. The episode underscores charity as a muscle to strengthen through joyful, habitual giving, concluding with a call to view it as a privilege that aligns one with God's kindness, fostering community upliftment and personal growth.To have your questions featured on the Ask Away series, please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #58) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!
