In this episode, we sit down with Steph T. and Steph L. from Becoming Human AF Podcast for a thought-provoking conversation about empathy—what it is, how it shows up in our lives, and where it sometimes runs thin.

Together, we unpack:

🔹 How our own empathy influences how we perceive others’ empathy
🔹 The unfair societal expectations that ask women to over-empathize and assume men don’t at all
🔹 The tension between being a listener and being a fixer
🔹 The role of empathy in connecting us to our shared humanity
🔹 What happens when empathy runs dry—aka, empathy burnout

This isn’t just a trending topic—it’s a deeply human one. And this episode will challenge the way you think about emotional connection in a noisy, reactive world.

If you enjoy this conversation, be sure to follow the Stephs and check out Becoming Human AF—where real friendship meets real talk.
