Do I Have Empathy?

In this episode of The Hello Frequency, I’m joined by Hannah Hafoka, an early childhood teacher living in Ohio and originally from Alaska, for a candid, thought-provoking conversation about empathy, emotions, care, and how we learn to understand one another.  Hannah begins with a question she has been asking herself: Do I have empathy? For a long time, she understood empathy as feeling what another person feels. But what happens when you recognise someone’s pain without necessarily feeling it yourself? Can choosing a caring response still be empathy? And does care have to look or feel a particular way to be genuine?  Happy listening!  Remember, in a world where discord echoes loudly, let empathy be our pluriversal language!
