You’re Not Responsible for Their Emotions with Joseph Cope | #1

2026/04/22

What if the reason you feel emotionally exhausted isn’t because you care too much… but because you’ve been carrying what was never yours to hold? In this powerful conversation, Sabine sits down with Joseph Cope, known as The Empathy Guy, to unpack the difference between empathy as a feeling and empathy as a skill. Together, they explore why so many accomplished women mistake over-giving for connection, and how redefining empathy can transform the way you show up in your relationships. Joseph reframes empathy not as softness, but as a fierce leadership skill — one that allows you to create space for others without abandoning yourself. This conversation bridges directly into the heart of Pick Joy: choosing alignment over obligation and clarity over guilt. Inside this episode, we explore: The difference between empathy and sympathy (and why it matters)Why highly empathetic people struggle with boundariesHow to stop absorbing everyone else’s emotionsThe framework for creating connection without losing yourselfIf you’ve spent years being the strong one, the dependable one, the emotionally attuned one — this episode will feel like a release. Because picking joy doesn’t mean caring less. It means caring with intention. And it starts with remembering this: You are not responsible for other people’s emotions.
