128: The Magic of Curiosity with Alie Ward

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!
