Show Notes | Transcript

“We are smarter than our brains, I promise. We can be. And so that’s what empathy is. Kind of rewriting your brain to be curious about yourself, about the reactions you have, about the way you see the world. Be curious about other people and ask more questions and make less assumptions.” – Kristen Donnelly
