EP 033 - Empathy: It’s Not a Feeling; It’s a Practice - Karen Faith
“Compassion is for people who are suffering. Sympathy is for people who are suffering. Empathy is stepping out of my point of view and stepping into your point of view. And I can do that with you if you are happy, if you are confused, if you are suffering or not suffering.” - Karen Faith
Empathy is a practice, not a feeling.
Yes, you read that right.
Whether you’re naturally good at feeling it or not, there is a set of skills behind empathy that anyone can learn and get better at.
Knowing this opens a door that some people might feel has never existed for them before. And for others, it opens up the possibility to connect even more deeply with the people around them.
In this episode on The IPS Podcast, we invited Karen Faith, empathy trainer and founder of Others Unlimited—a professional training and coaching firm that provides empathy training to brands, teams, and individuals.
Some of the Questions:
* How have you come to the realization that empathy is indeed a practice and not a feeling?
* Have you noticed a difference between men and women in how they show empathy?
* What are some small or big things that you have noticed people doing that they think are helpful, but in reality are actually rather standing in the way of creating a true connection with someone?
What You Will Learn from this Episode:
* What ultimately led Karen to start Others Unlimited and give trainings on empathy
* An exercise that Karen uses in her workshops to strengthen empathy
* What unconditional welcome is

EP 032 - Quadruple Amputee Alex Lewis: Finding Your Way Out of Hell—and Thriving
“I was told early on that with amputation 95% is mental and 5% is physical. If you get your head straight, the rest will follow.” - Alex Lewis
There are people in this world who just blow your socks off with their courage and strength despite the massive adversities they had to go through.
Alex Lewis, our guest in this interview, is one of those people.
Before Alex lost his limbs and his lips, he was—as he describes himself—just a regular guy, with a partner and a two-year-old son, who ran a restaurant and who was primarily a stay-at-home dad.
All this, however, changed in November 2013 when he fell ill.
If you’d like to engage more with this interview, you can also watch the videotaped version on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/wW5PIqnc2II
Some of the Questions:
* What happened in November 2013 when you thought you only had a common cold? What did those days seem like and when did you know something was not right?
* Is there something you would say to the “old you” (the one with limbs) that you feel could have helped you to live a better life?
* I read somewhere that you really liked the book Man's Search for Meaning by Víctor Frankl. What parts of the book spoke to you the most?
What You Will Learn from this Episode:
* When and why Alex decided to fight and not remain a victim
* How he has learned to accept the changes that had happened to his body and to feel okay with them
* Why Alex received a personal invitation from Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay

EP 002 - Bruce Langford: How to Take Control Over The Mind And Live In The Moment
"Be who you are because there is no one else on this earth or ever will be, who is exactly like you." - Bruce Langford
As the philosopher, Lao Tzu said, "If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present."
We allow ourselves to dwell in the past and worry about the future more often throughout the day than most of us are even aware of. The mind is a busy place, and that voice that every single one of us has in our heads, causes confusion, unhappiness, depression, and anxiety - all because we are not aware of it, and are being controlled by it.
Bruce Langford, a former teacher, and now a Life Coach and host of the Mindfulness Mode podcast, teaches people to take control of their own minds through mindfulness - living in the here and now.
