🎧 New Podcast: The Shadow Side of Being an Empath and 5 Ways to Bring it to Balance
If you’re someone who’s deeply sensitive, intuitive, or emotionally attuned, you might carry a beautiful gift: empathy. But that gift can easily become a heavy burden when you haven’t learned how to manage it.
In this episode, I walk you through the exact moment I realized I wasn’t actually being empathetic — I was entangled. I share how:
Empathy isn’t about feeling other people’s emotions as your own
True compassion doesn’t require self-abandonment
You can be present for others without loosing yourself
We talk about what it looks like when empathy turns into enmeshment — like feeling overly responsible for others, taking on emotions that aren’t yours, or feeling drained after conversations.
And most importantly, I share tools and mindset shifts for how to regulate your energy, honour your sensitivity, and show up for the people you love without losing yourself in the process.
✨ Whether you’re an empath, a healer, or just someone who feels deeply — this is a must-listen reminder that you’re allowed to hold both: care for others and care for yourself.
