did you know I teach empathy?
Yes, like an actual exercise to demonstrate it while listening to someone speak.
I call it being a “reflection mirror” and the Women’s Soul Circle is a monthly invitation to experience it.
I have never framed what I do in that way before and this is the first time I’ve wrote it.
I knew it was always “connection” but I never framed it as empathy.
Today, I watched a YouTube video of Brene Brown talking about the 4 Qualities of Empathy:
1. Perspective taking. Walk in their shoes
2. Staying out of judgment.
3. Recognizing the emotion.
4. Communication. Being expressive about their emotion and validating them.
Empathy is feeling with people. That is everything we do in Circle!
“To be seen, deeply heard and to feel valued
by a supportive and meaningful community.”
I’m honored to do the work that I do because it is my WHY.
