We live in a world desperate to be seen, but rarely do we slow down enough to truly see one another.
In this soul-stirring episode, Sean DeLaney explores the quiet, transformative power of presence, attention, and attunement. You’ll discover that seeing others isn’t just a relational skill, it’s a transformative act. One that can heal, connect, elevate, and awaken the humanity in us all.
We’ll explore:
- Why presence is the most profound form of recognition
- The difference between transactional attention and soulful seeing
- Cultural and spiritual practices like “Sawubona” and “Namaste” that honor the sacredness of others
- How to become an illuminator, not a diminisher, in people’s lives
- What happens when we witness others into their own becoming
You’ll hear quotes and insights from Simone Weil, Maria Popova, David Brooks, Peter Kaufman, and more—all pointing to one truth: the quality of your attention is one of the most powerful forces in the world.
“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” — Simone Weil
If you’ve ever felt unseen, or you’re ready to offer others the kind of presence that changes lives, this episode is for you.
