Exploring empathy and understanding how to teach empathy.

After a career in paediatric health care Roxanne Daleo decided to focus on helping children and the adults who care for them to manage their stress levels by understanding themselves and other people.

That explains Roxanne in this episode of the Abeceder work life balance podcast Rest and Recreation is a good summary of what empathy is.

Roxanne tells host Michael Millward why people who understand how to use empathy will have lower stress levels.

She also explains how behaviours that restrict empathy are often the result of a traumatic experience.

This is ideal podcast listening for adults who care for a tantrum throwing child or truculent teenager.

Exploring how LBGTQ+ people experience life and how we can all ally to be more supportive.

For Zach Randles-Friedman podcasting started as a hobby, but the success of his two podcasts, Everything & Anything… and a Bit Gay, a long-form interview podcast and the daily short-form LGBTQ+ new programme Listen Up Girl provided him with the opportunity to consider becoming a full time podcaster.

Zach has been acclaimed for his empathetic approach to helping guests tell their stories.

In this episode of the Abeceder work life balance podcast Rest and Recreation Zach explains to host Michael Millward what the acronym means and the pros and cons of labelling different ways of living.

Zach explores the lived experience of LGBTQ+ people in different countries, highlighting that in some countries being LGBTQ+ can be a death sentence. He investigates the advantages of living authentically, and how sharing stories of lived experience can be healing for the storyteller and inspiring for the audience.

Despite the personal stresses of helping other people to tell their stories Zach remains committed to building his programmes.

This conversation will inspire you to investigate how you can be a better ally of the LGBTQ+ community.

Exploring what we mean by work life balance and considering if there might be a better way.

Cindy Koehler is a transformational business and life coach, and founder of Mind Garage.

In this episode of the Abeceder work life balance podcast Rest and Recreation Cindy explains to host Michael Millward that we are wrong to view success in life as the achievement of a good work life balance.

Instead, Cindy proposes that we should aim to live a life in which our work activities and our non-work activities are aligned.

Cindy and Michael discuss how

• Many people work to pay their bills with a hope of eventually living a long and happy retirement.
• Work should instead think about how work enables people to live their best lives in the present.
• Forced unemployment is when people explore what they want out of life
• We define and find happiness in work and life
• We define the value we derive from work
• Asking better questionscan improve how we enjoy life

This conversation will made you reconsider your own relationship between work and life.
