Feels Out Loud – Ep. 70: When Empathy Becomes Selective

Empathy refers to the process of sharing and understanding feelings of others.  Behavioral, psychological, and neural studies demonstrate that empathy is selective, depending on circumstances. This may be part of the human experience, but what happens when empathy is too selective? What is the mental health impact at an individual, community, and societal level, when people only offer empathy to those who they believe are worthy of it? Tune in to this episode as hosts Becky McNattin and Tara Martini discuss the concept of selective empathy and how we can develop awareness around the ways in which we express empathy to others.

Feels Out Loud – Ep. 69: Gratitude

Ever feel like you’re being “thankful-ed” into silence? Becky McNattin and Tara Martini get real about the dark side of “weaponized gratitude” and how it’s often used to brush over our genuine pain and frustration. They break down common scenarios—from the “at-least” workplace to the “shoulding” parent—to help us recognize when gratitude is actually being used as an emotional shield to avoid conflict or discomfort. It’s a refreshing conversation about the importance of validating your struggles first so that when you finally do find gratitude, it’s authentic rather than forced.
