In this powerful episode, Scott Schwenk is joined by heart coach and author James “Fish” Gill to explore radical compassion, conscious communication, and the deep human longing behind even the most painful behaviors. Together, they unpack what it means to attune to our own pain and longing, recognize the humanity in others, and transform rupture into connection. From grief to traffic rage to childhood wounds, this is a soul-deep conversation on how we begin to fall in love with humanity—starting with ourselves.
