On Episode 128 of You, Me, Empathy, Alie Ward and I explore the magic of curiosity, Alie’s anxiety diagnosis, Catholic guilt, reframing failures, why empathy is so damn hard (and the best, duh), why Alie works so hard, and mental health in relationships!
We also talk about Alie’s experience getting catfished, sorting out our emotions without feeling the emotions of another person, the trials and tribulations of the People Pleaser, why we judge ourselves so much, sleep hygiene, the danger and unhealthiness of a binary lens, ADHD, righteous grandparents, and why Alie is the dad the world needs (#dadWard).
Alie is the creator and host of the remarkable science podcast, Ologies. Also, she has a show on Netflix called 100 Humans. And so many other amazing things you can check out in the Empathy Links below! Thanks to Alie for sharing her story!
P.S. This chat was recorded pre-stay at home, pre-quarantine, pre-pandemic!
P.P.S. The Feely Human Collective is coming in May 27, 2020!

You, Me, Empathy
You, Me, Empathy is the official podcast of The Feely Human Collective. Join the community at FeelyHuman.co/membership.
On this show, we explore the struggles, the triumphs, the brights and the darks we face as humans trying to be human on this wondrous and overwhelming pale blue dot.
You, Me, Empathy was created so that we can be witness to our collective humanity through the lens of empathy, vulnerability, and emotional curiosity. We aim to destigmatize mental health, lead fiercely with our hearts, feel our feelings without shame and judgment, and share our courageous stories so that others may feel less alone and more connected as feely humans.
You, Me, Empathy is a brave place designed to inspire the beauty in each of us, because each of us, in all of our kaleidoscopic parts, makes up a magical whole that deserves to be seen.
Created and hosted by Nōn Wels (he/him), feely human, writer, and doggo lover.
