Empathy used to mean something — now it’s mostly theatre.
And the scary part? We’ve all learned to clap.

In Episode 5, we dig into the new wave of performative empathy:how people fake compassion, why it’s become a social currency,and why real empathy feels rarer than ever.

Why do we pretend to care?
Why does fake kindness spread faster than the real thing?
And what happens when empathy becomes just another aesthetic?

If you’ve ever been told “reach out if you need anything,”
got a heart emoji instead of actual support,
or watched someone film their tears before they dry…

this episode is for you.

Uninfluenced. Unpaid. Unfiltered.
