The Hello Frequency, A Lifestyle Podcast
Rethinking Empathy in a Divided World
What does empathy really mean beyond the buzzword? In this episode (recorded in May 2025), Kiran and I delve into how empathy helps us understand others’ lived experiences, nurture equity, and move past “us versus them” thinking. A reflective listen on learning, openness, and the courage to connect.
Empathy isn’t just about feeling sorry for someone — it’s about taking the time to truly understand their world.
Kiran and I talk about how empathy is built, how it’s lost, and how we can reclaim it to bridge divides and celebrate difference.
Remember, in a world where discord echoes loudly, let empathy be our pluriversal language!
In this thought-provoking conversation, recorded in May 2025, my guest, Kiran, and I explore the ever-relevant idea of empathy — a word often spoken but less often examined in depth. Together, we unpack what it truly means to step outside one’s own worldview to see, feel, and understand life through the experiences of others.
The discussion moves from how empathy is nurtured in childhood to how it often fades in adulthood, as people become more focused on their own paths. Kiran and I reflect on how empathy connects to equity, social struggles, and the ability to celebrate differences rather than diminish them. We touch on why supporting one group’s struggle does not invalidate another’s, and how empathy enables us to build bridges across intersecting identities and experiences.
By looking beyond binary lenses and engaging in honest, open conversations — without the need to be “right” — this episode encourages listeners to replace assumptions with curiosity, misunderstanding with dialogue, and indifference with care.
