Episode 136: The Empathy Trap: When Caring Too Much Becomes the Problem

In this episode of Shed and Shine, Rob and Gino dig into what impact actually means for driven people, and whether the drive to make one is coming from the True Self or the ego.

Gino discusses the empathy trap. He's highly empathetic, always has been, and he's starting to see how much it's held him back. The distinction he draws between empathy and compassion is one that every driven person needs to hear.

They also get into the full spectrum of what impact looks like, why your everyday actions are probably already making a bigger difference than you realize, and what it means to shift from ego-based impact to soul-based impact.

Your impact is already happening. The question is where it's coming from.
