Being an empathetic friend, partner, and leader is hopefully something we all strive for. But maybe empathy isn’t something you’ve thought about much… Maybe you’re not quite sure what it even means. 

In this episode we’ll share our own personal experiences with empathy, and why we feel that striving to be an empathetic person can make such a huge difference in your life - and in others lives.
