S1 Ep117: Episode 117 - When We Suffer, We Suffer the Same

<div>Pema Chodron says, “Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”<br> <br> Today on the podcast, I share with you my thoughts on compassion, why it's important, and the ways in which I feel we need to see one other in order to heal the divide in our society. I do not bring this forth to be political, but rather to remind us all that when we suffer, we suffer the same. In our essential humanity we are so similar, that I believe it steals from us to perceive one another as so different. Just my 2 cents, but the topic was heavy on my heart this week. <br> <br> <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/intro-to-nicole-sachs-mindbody-work-tickets-137337447001">** My INTRO TO MINDBODY WORK CLASS IS ON JAN 30TH FROM 12-130 PM EST.
