In this clip from the 2025 Reclaiming Strength and Hope event, Jesse Wiens Chu explores how to navigate negativity in everyday conversations using Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and empathy. He emphasizes staying grounded by first tending to one’s own reactions, rather than trying to fix others. Jesse reframes “negativity” as unexpressed grief or even physical pain, inviting a deeper sense of compassion and understanding. His reflections offer a powerful shift from reactivity to connection, even in challenging interactions.
