Empathy is having your own plight, your own fight you’re struggling through, and STILL being able to understand the emotions that someone else is experiencing. It’s also having NO experience with the cause of that emotion, but still being able to extend grace and create a place of safety for that person to let the emotion flow through them. We need more of this to be able to truly see each other.

Empathy is a nice buzz word to some but living it out takes a lot of internal strength and courage to go against the tides. Empathy is a deep understanding of another individual. Empathy is a mindset as well as a set of skills, like collaboration, understanding, curiosity, fact checking, and listening.
