Open The Light

Being a person of color is hard, especially if you’re a first-generation American. Join me, Abby Sadoy, as I consciously try to navigate this world as a “failed” Filipinx nurse (family expectations, am I right?) and pioneer of a new generation. Welcome to Open The Light, a podcast of honest conversations filled with unique perspectives, special experiences, and amplified voices -- and maybe, even a teardrop or two. If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that we’re all just trying to figure this thing out.

S1E2: Open The Empathy

September 09, 2020 • Abby Sadoy • Season 1 • Episode 2

In this episode of Open The Light, Abby is talking all about empathy with Jose Rodriguez, a close friend and avid empathizer. As the proud son of Mexican immigrant parents, Jose takes our conversation up a notch by discussing his experiences coming out to his parents, how he dealt with a friend who did him dirty, and why he keeps empathy at the forefront of his relationships. Abby and Jose also dive deep on how to become a more empathetic person, avoid self betrayal, and engage in some much needed self-care.
