Listen "Can We Train Empathy Like a Muscle?"
Episode Synopsis
Ever wish you could understand people a little better — without needing a psychology degree or a crystal ball? In this warm, witty café-style episode of Voices of Discovery, Roxie Robinson explores whether empathy is something we’re born with… or something we can actually build.Between cappuccino sips and curious laughter, she dives into the brain’s empathy circuits — mirror neurons, oxytocin, and all the messy, beautiful ways we feel with each other. From awkward “empathy gym” moments (including one barista misunderstanding) to heartfelt insights on listening, boundaries, and being human, Roxie turns science into soul food.Light, funny, and quietly profound, this episode reminds us that empathy isn’t about perfection — it’s practice. Because strengthening your heart muscle might just make the world a little softer.🎙️ Stay curious.
