Navigating Connections in a Complex World

The Hello Frequency, A Lifestyle Podcast ·

2025/11/20

Empathy is often seen as simple, just putting ourselves in someone else’s shoes. But in today’s world, shaped by rapid change, layered and intersectional identities and belongings, and deep-rooted inequalities, empathy has become much more nuanced and challenging. In this episode, my generous guest, Erin, and I unpack the complexities of empathy: what it truly means to care about those whose experiences differ from our own, how temporality and hierarchical systems shape our perspectives, and...

Empathy: Holding Space, Sharing Mana

The Hello Frequency, A Lifestyle Podcast ·

2025/11/13

In this powerfully grounded conversation, my guest, the insightful Ngahuia, and I explore the many layers of empathy. It is guided by asking ourselves, ‘What does it mean to truly see, feel, and stand with one another?’ From first introductions and the quiet comfort of a smile, to the deeper work of kindness, humility, and connection, empathy reminds us who we are and how we relate to the world around us. Mana is a Māori concept that speaks to a person’s inner power, dignity, and prese...

Beyond Sympathy: Understanding Empathy and Compassion

The Hello Frequency, A Lifestyle Podcast ·

2025/10/02

In this candid conversation, recorded in April 2025, Komal, host of It’s a Nomaste From Me, and I explore the challenges of practising empathy and compassion in a world shaped by unequal systems of power and persistent injustices. At times, anger feels like the only natural response, but living in that state comes at a cost, particularly to our mental and emotional wellbeing. Compassion ≠ taking on everyone’s pain. Let’s talk burnout, boundaries & why empathy is a tool—not a burden...

When Empathy Isn’t Enough

The Hello Frequency, A Lifestyle Podcast ·

2025/09/25

In this episode (recorded in April 2025), Swakshadip and I unravel why compassion alone cannot bring systemic change—and how true empathy lies in solidarity, critical reflection, and collective action. We explore what it means to step beyond comfort zones, unlearn ingrained assumptions, and actively fight for justice even when the struggle is not our own. This is empathy that transforms. Remember, in a world where discord echoes loudly, let empathy be our pluriversal language!
