Empathy - The Skill You're Missing For True Connection | Mimi Nicklin | The Forties Formula in Focus
Description
If you’ve ever felt lonely despite having a full life, a career, a family, and people around you… this conversation will land.
In this Forties Formula in Focus clip, we revisit one of the most powerful moments from our full episode with Mimi Nicklin, where we explore why so many women in their 40s feel disconnected — and why it’s not your fault.
- We talk about:
- Why loneliness isn’t about being alone
- The hidden cost of success without connection
- Why “soft skills” like empathy are actually essential for survival
- How modern life is quietly pulling us further apart
- And what it really takes to feel connected again
This is one of those conversations that makes you pause and think… “oh, that makes sense.”
