Faces of Mental Illness: 20 Stories Bringing You Through Your Journey From Stigma to Health

“You can’t feel bad enough to make anybody else’s life better” This quote from Dr. Wayne Dyer is a great reminder that showing up in the world with judgment doesn’t serve you or anyone else in a positive way.

In this episode, the Fab 5 is talking about feeling sorry for others and how that energy works against us and them. If we display feelings of pity and judgement for the struggles of others, that becomes the energy that the world receives from us, ultimately highlighting that person’s difficult situation. Throughout this episode, you will hear stories and lessons that the Fab 5 have learned about judgement, pity, and feeling sorry for others. Each of us have our own biases and personal experiences that have shaped our perspective, but one thing is universal: we are all human. Everyone is equal despite what society may have taught us and it’s time we hold compassion for others rather than feel sorry for them.

Tune in to hear the Fab 5’s discussion on why feeling sorry for other people doesn’t do anyone any good, enjoy!
