What's on My Mind with Fiona

Episode 12 I'm Done with Toxic Compassion and Performative Empathy

September 13, 2024 Fiona Kane Season 1 Episode 12

In this episode I challenge the sincerity behind performative empathy, urging listeners to look beyond polished personas and focus on genuine actions. Join me as I dissect the difference between words and deeds, inspired by the wise words of Thomas Sowell.

I explore the significance of surrounding ourselves with friends who are honest and have integrity rather than superficially supportive, fostering an environment where authentic relationships can thrive and personal growth is inevitable.

I also discuss toxic compassion and how it is ultimately very damaging to individuals and societies. Touching on the delicate balance between compassion, boundaries, and truth.  I explain importance of personal responsibility and learning how to identify and manage our emotions (emotional regulation).
