In this episode we are going to talk a bit more about the call to adventure…and how curiosity is its bedrock. We will do so with the help of some friends. Well…. heroes of my own, to be more specific. Edison, Emerson, Angelou, Kerouac, O’Keeffe, and Eleanor Roosevelt.

This is in response to a question on the FB page from my friend Ursula. We talk about what it means to be grounded and present, how we can tune our empathy to discern our own emotions versus the emotions of others, and perhaps how we can open our eyes to the connectedness of humanity...rather than seeing our relationships as transactional.Empathy & Website Empathy & on Patreon Empathy & on Facebook--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/empathyand/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/empathyand/support Get full access to mindful empath at mindfulempath.substack.com/subscribe

Welcome to the New Year!!I initially had intended for this episode to be a review of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker...but as I was reading and researching I felt that a discussion surrounding The Hero's Journey was more appropriate. In this episode I discuss the hallmark stages of the Journey by using three well known stories. This is an introduction to a 3 part series on using The Hero's Journey as a device for self exploration.Enjoy!Empathy & WebsiteEmpathy & on PatreonEmpathy & on Facebook--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/empathyand/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/empathyand/support Get full access to mindful empath at mindfulempath.substack.com/subscribe

This is the final episode of 2019! Today we finish up our 4 week series on Advent. In this conclusion we wrap everything together with emergence. In emergence we find a framework of evolution and change that helps us understand what this time of the year is all about. And, as always, we discuss how empathy can be a powerful catalyst for this emergence. "The power of empathy is not just evident in a changed and more noble interior life…it is in the revolution of love and care that will inevitably emerge from it."Empathy & WebsiteEmpathy & on PatreonEmpathy & on Facebook--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/empathyand/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/empathyand/support Get full access to mindful empath at mindfulempath.substack.com/subscribe

In what direction do we change? Does that seem like an odd question? Have you ever considered that we really just circle back to the same challenges in order to learn old lessons in new ways? I think you're right...and I also think that our intrinsic power of empathy can be the catalyst we need to enact change in our lives. This week we talk about this season of Advent...through the lens of Spiral Dynamics.

Empathy is not just a way to relate to people, but a form and avenue to knowledge. It is IMPOSSIBLE to fully commit yourself to a life of empathy and not be changed by what you learn. In this episode we discuss this with the help of work of Harper Lee and the words of Socrates. Empathy & on PatreonEmpathy & on Facebook--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/empathyand/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/empathyand/support Get full access to mindful empath at mindfulempath.substack.com/subscribe

This is a new type of Empathy & episode...every once in a while I plan on sharing poems, songs, excerpts from books and authors that have been instrumental in my knowledge of empathy and spirit. I hope you enjoy this brief riff on an author whom I adore.I have grown to love the work of John O'Donohue. He was an author, poet, priest, and keeper of Celtic Spirituality. His book Anam Cara has been fundamental to my understanding of how empathy interacts with the divine. In this episode I contemplate this beautiful prayer from his book To Bless The Space Between Us, "May I live this day compassionate of heart, clear in word, gracious in awareness, courageous in thought, generous in love."Empathy & on PatreonEmpathy & on Facebook--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/empathyand/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/empathyand/support Get full access to mindful empath at mindfulempath.substack.com/subscribe
