Sometimes the most heartfelt attempts at empathy come from the littlest voices. In this warm and moving episode, we share a touching (and hilarious) story of a 3-year-old trying to comfort a friend in the hospital recovering from a double mastectomy. Sitting quietly beside her, the little girl gently took her hand and said, “I know… I had a cold once.”

What might sound like innocent humor actually reveals something deeply human: our desire to connect, to comfort, and to meet others in their pain—even when we don’t quite know how.

This episode explores the beauty in simply showing up—even imperfectly. From toddlers to adults, we often struggle to relate to others’ suffering, but when we lead with love, even the smallest gestures can hold profound meaning.
