Episode Synopsis

In this candid conversation, recorded in April 2025, Komal, host of It’s a Nomaste From Me, and I explore the challenges of practising empathy and compassion in a world shaped by unequal systems of power and persistent injustices. At times, anger feels like the only natural response, but living in that state comes at a cost, particularly to our mental and emotional wellbeing. Compassion ≠ taking on everyone’s pain. Let’s talk burnout, boundaries & why empathy is a tool—not a burden! Find Komal's podcast - It’s a Nomaste From Me - on Spotify and Youtube. Remember, in a world where discord echoes loudly, let empathy be our pluriversal language!
