Have you ever walked into your wellness space and immediately felt overwhelmed by everyone's emotions before you even started working? As an empath in the healing arts, your sensitivity is both your greatest gift and your biggest challenge. You can sense what your clients need, but you might also absorb their stress, anxiety, and pain—leaving you drained and depleted. 

In this episode, I'm sharing how my experience as an empath transformed from being a burden that made me fatigued to becoming my greatest professional strength through one simple but powerful shift.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Why shrinking your energy or building armor actually makes you more vulnerable to others' emotions

  • The "expand your energy" technique that protects you while keeping you open to serve

  • What energy really means and how to take responsibility for your own emotional experience

  • How to stay grounded and centered even when holding space for multiple clients

Your empathy doesn't have to be something you manage or hide from—it can be the very thing that makes you an exceptional healer, teacher, and leader.

By the end of this episode, you'll understand how to honor your empathic gifts while protecting your own energy, so you can serve from a place of strength rather than depletion. Ready to transform your sensitivity from burden to superpower? Let's dive in.
