In today’s episode, I’m talking about the only thing for certain is that we’re ALL human.

“This isn’t the disaster you’re making it out to be.” That’s a real comment I saw online about the fires here in Nebraska. Yes, the same fires that, as of this recording, have burned over 700,000 acres AND came within miles of our home.

I’ve seen people say things like, “the grass will grow back” or “fire promotes regrowth.” While yes, those things can be true, they completely miss the human side of what’s happening.

The truth is, if you haven’t lived something like this, you can’t fully understand it. That’s exactly why we need more empathy. We need to take the time to FEEL with someone, even if we don’t fully understand what they’re going through.

In this episode, I cover:

How the recent Nebraska fires have caused real, ongoing devastation
Why certain comments are severely lacking empathy
Why you cannot fully understand a situation you haven’t lived
Practicing more empathy + curiosity, even when you don’t fully understand someone else’s experience
Realizing we are ALL human and are doing the best we can
