#82: Florence Scialom - Importance of Compassion to our Well-Being

Hello Friends, our guest this week is Florence Scialom. Flo is a mother, speaker of Dutch as a second language (Not many of those out there) and Communications and Events Manager for the organisation Network of Wellbeing (NOW). Flo’s core passions lie in connecting people and communities and supporting others to make a positive difference in their own lives and in the wider world. In this podcast, we talk about compassion and its relationship to our well-being and our society’s well-being. We cover self-compassion, compassion for others and distinguish the difference between empathy and compassion. We discuss the radical nature of compassion in a world that is congested with judgment, othering and dehumanising. This is an area I’m particularly passionate about so it was a delight to have Flo on.
