About this episode
I want to hear your thoughts about the show and this episode. Text us here...In this special crossover episode, I’m sharing something close to my heart — Empathy in Action: Expanding Our Capacity to Care — from my new podcast experiment, Brave Moves.Yes, you heard that right... This is my newest project, and I’m inviting you to come along for the experiment. Brave Moves is my journey of starting, launching, and growing a podcast from scratch, using the same tools, systems, and strategies I teach my clients every day. My goal is to show you behind the scenes what it looks like to take action before you feel “ready.”In this episode, we’re diving into empathy, what it really means, why it matters, and how it changes the way we lead, love, and show up in the world.I share a recent experience that made me reflect on how quickly we are to judge others and how assumptions can limit our ability to care. When I saw a post about helping people who lost their SNAP benefits, and the comments that followed, it hit me how much our empathy has to stretch, not just for those who “look” like us, but for those whose stories we don’t fully know.This episode will remind you that empathy isn’t weakness, it’s a strength. It’s leadership. And it’s the heartbeat of confidence and connection.You’ll learn: • Why empathy is a leadership superpower (not a soft skill) • How assumptions and comparisons shrink our compassion • Simple, grounded ways to practice empathy every day • How to take small, brave actions that expand your capacity to careEmpathy doesn’t mean doing everything. It means doing something. It means saying, “I see you, and I care.”Brave Move: Do one act of empathy today — donate, listen, or simply pause before you judge. Small moves create big ripples.Join the Experiment: If you want to follow along with my Brave Moves journey and see what it takes to launch a new podcast from the ground up, search Brave Moves with Julie DeLucca-Collins wherever you listen to podcasts.
