EP: 39 Care for Humanity
In this episode of Soul Therapy, with Chelle, I share a tender reflection on humanity - the ways we care for one another, and the times we fall short.
While traveling through Europe, I was struck by two contrasting images on the same day: animals in Ephesus being welcomed, fed, and protected as part of the community, and later that night, a dinghy of refugees - families crying for help in the dark sea. That contrast deeply moved me, highlighting the disparities in how we extend care and belonging.
This experience opened space for me to reflect on immigration, privilege, heritage, and the silence many of us hold in the face of racism, cruelty, or exclusion. Silence, I realized, is complicity too.
In this conversation, I explore:
How kindness and compassion can shift the energy in any space
Why listening with empathy - without rushing to respond - can dissolve walls between us
The importance of speaking up against cruelty, even in small, everyday moments
How humor can connect us - or harm us - depending on how it’s used
The daily choices we each have to embody care, courage, and humanity
This episode is an invitation to reflect: Where in your life could you listen with more compassion or act with more kindness?
Because while we may not control global politics, we can shape the way we treat the people in front of us. And if enough of us choose care, courage, and connection - we may just begin to shift the tide.
