I'm stuffed – A Personal Reflection on Gratitude, Hunger, and Humanity

English With Love – Slow and Clear English Listening Practice

Hello everyone! In today’s episode of English with Love, I share a personal reflection inspired by a simple, relatable moment: coming home hungry after a long day and eating more than I needed.

Through this experience, I reflect on the abundance we often take for granted, the meaning of empathy, and the ongoing struggles of children and families around the world, including the Palestinian people.

💬 The title “I’m Stuffed” also carries a double meaning. In Australian English, “I’m stuffed” can mean not only “I’ve eaten too much,” but also “I’m exhausted” or “emotionally overwhelmed.”

In this episode, both meanings come together — the physical fullness and the emotional one — expressing not only a body that is full, but also a heart overflowing with sadness, empathy, and awareness.

Join me as we explore gratitude, awareness, and compassion — and learn new English words and expressions along the way. A gentle, thought-provoking episode to inspire kindness, reflection, and mindful language learning.
