Empathy is more than a feeling—it’s a daily practice that shapes how we live, love, and lead. In this episode of Space To Exhale: The Podcast, host Lisa Hurley sits down with Tammy Triolo, Founder of PCQ Consulting, creator of The Empathy Scorecard, and author of The Empathy Gap: It Is Black and White. Together, they explore the power of empathy as a pathway to joy, self-love, and liberation.
Tammy offers a blueprint for grace that doesn’t bypass accountability, love that is a practice not a theory, and joy that doesn’t ignore injustice. Grounded in emotional intelligence, she speaks directly to everyone who needs to reclaim or relearn radical empathy as a path to healing.
