***10 Self-Care Tips to Protect Your Energy as an Empath:***
*Eat High-Vibrational Foods*
Be intentional about what you eat. Choose foods that energize and nourish your body, and pay attention to how different foods make you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally.

*Stay Hydrated*
Don’t underestimate the power of water! Staying hydrated helps support emotional flow, nervous system regulation, and even anxiety reduction.

*Prioritize Sleep*
Your nervous system needs time to recharge. Get to know your optimal sleep needs—and honor them without guilt.

*Move Your Body Daily*
Movement isn’t just about physical health—it’s essential for clearing out stuck emotional and energetic blocks. Even 10 minutes can help reset your energy.

*Get Outside*
Nature is deeply regulating for the nervous system. Step into the sunlight, breathe fresh air, and let the Earth ground and calm you.

*Set Emotional and Energetic Boundaries*
Visualize a one-way mirror around your aura. You can see others clearly, but their energy doesn’t come in unless you allow it. Remember: holding space isn’t the same as over-owning someone else’s experience.

*Notice Who Drains You*
Pay attention to people, places, or situations that consistently leave you feeling depleted. Prepare your energy before engaging—or limit exposure when necessary.

*Practice Breathwork and Meditation*
Just 10 minutes a day can help you return to yourself. Use breathwork to call your energy back, calm your mind, and recenter your spirit.

*Journal and Reflect*
Regular journaling helps you process emotions and tune into your body’s messages. Ask: What do I need right now? What am I avoiding? What am I feeling?

*Challenge for the Week*
Choose one or two of the self-care tips from today’s episode and commit to practicing them daily for the next 7 days. Keep it simple. Check in with yourself each day and ask, What does my energy need today?

*Remember:* your well-being is not optional—it’s foundational.

(00:00):
Well, hello and welcome back.
Have you ever felt completelydrained after spending time with
certain people?
Like maybe you absorbed everysingle ounce of their stress,
their sadness, or theirfrustration?
or maybe you've noticed you'refeeling really exhausted and
anxious lately, or really noteating well?
Maybe you've also noticed thatwhen you're feeling this way,

(00:21):
it's a lot harder for you to setboundaries or to stay centered
in your own energy and protectyour own self.
If so, then here is a hard truthis if you don't take care of
yourself, your energy willattempt to take care of you by
shutting you down and forcingyou to rest.
This means that you basicallyhave two choices.

(00:41):
First, you can slow down andtake care of yourself now, or
you can ignore your own needsuntil your body forces you to
stop.
Empaths and highly sensitivepeople it's really interesting
because you might start tonotice now that I've pointed out
to you, that you'll get a sensethat you're going to become sick
before you even get sick.
I confessed that one time.

(01:01):
I honestly wondered if I was theone personally responsible for
the Global Pandemic because Iwas.
So burned out and in need ofrest.
I thought, oh no.
What have I done?
Now, I've brought this on myselfand the whole world.
So today I'm gonna be sendingout a wake up call to all
empaths and highly sensitivepeople that your personal
wellbeing is not optional.

(01:22):
And when you neglect your ownself-care, your diet, your
sleep, your movement, yourboundaries, you don't just
suffer physically, but you alsosuffer energetically.
You are already a sponge foreverybody's energy around you.
But when you are the one feelingweak, depleted, or burned out,
you become even more vulnerableto absorbing everyone else's
emotions, making it nearlyimpossible to remain grounded

(01:45):
and feel clear and energized.
But here's the good news isbecause you are so sensitive,
when you do start to take careof yourself, you're going to
have a lot faster turnaroundthan a lot of people.
You're going to feel the effectsof those changes really quickly,
possibly even faster than therest of the population.
This means that not only are youmore sensitive to feeling

(02:07):
drained, but you're also moresensitive to joy.
You're sensitive to rest andyou're sensitive to the
rejuvenation that comes when youdo start to give yourself that
nourishment and take care ofwhat it is that you need.
You can restore your energy,regain your emotional balance,
and feel more like yourselfagain.
And that's exactly what we'regonna be talking about today.

(02:28):
Today we're gonna be talkingabout why self-care is
non-negotiable for empaths andhighly sensitive people.
And yes, you heard me, self-careis non-negotiable.
I know that when you feel otherpeople's feeling so deeply, you
want to prioritize them, right?
It's like, oh, I feel it so big,so this is a big deal and I need
to prioritize that.
But your own self-care isnon-negotiable.

(02:49):
We're also going to be talkingabout how your sensitivity is a
gift, especially when younurture it properly, and I'm
gonna be sharing with you 10self-care tips to help you to
keep your energy strong andprotected.
So if you are a helper, ahealer, an empath, a highly
sensitive person, however it isthat you identify for whatever
reason that you came to thispodcast, if you were someone who

(03:10):
tends to give everything toothers, but really struggles to
prioritize yourself, then thisis the episode for you.
So first of all, why isself-care a non-negotiable for
empaths and highly sensitivepeople?
I mean, everybody needsself-care, right?
But for empaths and highlysensitive people, it truly is a
lifeline.
When your energy is depleted,you don't just feel physically

(03:31):
tired, but you feel everythingthat much more intensely.
So these little stressors thatwould usually just be a little
bit of a nuisance for you whenyou've neglected yourself for so
long, they can feel extremelyoverwhelming.
For example, other people'semotions, they might hit you
like a ton of bricks or yourability to set and maintain

(03:52):
boundaries might completely goout the window.
Maybe you're unable to do thingsfor yourself anymore.
Certain people in your circles,they might become a little bit
more aggravating and annoyingfor you.
So I want you to think for amoment about a time when you
were experiencing these thingsreally intensely.
What was that experience likefor you?
Maybe it was harder for you tosay no, or state a boundary

(04:13):
because you felt other people'semotions and their needs and
wants so intensely.
Maybe you noticed that youranxiety spikes were even more
significant.
Maybe you noticed that you wereeven more sensitive to caffeine
and sugar, and you'd have bighighs and lows with that.
Notice how maybe a lack of sleepmight make you feel really raw,
unprotected, and exposed.

(04:34):
This happens because yournervous system is wired just a
little bit differently fromother people.
This means that what might seemlike a minor issue for somebody
else, like one poor night'ssleep, or maybe one processed
meal, it might seem like areally small thing, but for you,
when you're feeling depleted, itcould completely throw you off
and you might be really confusedabout what just happened.

(04:55):
That shouldn't be that big of adeal.
It was just one night.
It was just one meal.
But when you've been depletedfor so long, you're just more
sensitive to everything.
But I also want to remind youthat on the flip side, something
that is just as powerful is thatwhen you do take care of
yourself, you will feelstronger, you will feel clearer,
and you'll feel grounded fasterthan most people.

(05:17):
the second thing I wanna touchon here is that your body will
slow you down one way or theother, right?
So you can either choose to slowthings down and take care of
yourself, or your body willcompel you to slow down and
force you to take care ofyourself.
Your body keeps the score.
And it will always find ways toforce you to rest if you keep

(05:37):
neglecting your own needs.
It's just a safety mechanism.
You can't continue to run onempty, so your body will slow
you down if you're trying topower through when you
shouldn't.
We have a lot of phrases thatenter into our everyday
vocabulary, so I want you tonotice if these things are true
for you.
For example, maybe you'rethinking, ah,"what a pain in the
neck", and then you might noticethat you literally have a pain

(05:59):
in your neck.
You might notice, oh,"there'sreally a lot on my shoulders
right now", and that may resultin upper back pain.
Maybe you're thinking,"I feellike I'm bending over backwards"
for everybody.
That might result in true lowerback pain.
Maybe you feel like you'rebegging for scraps.
In that case, you might feellike you have really achy knees
or maybe a pain in your stomach.

(06:20):
For me, there was a season wheremy back, it just went out.
It quit.
I was unable to walk for awhile, and I was in excruciating
pain.
It really impacted me verysignificantly in a very physical
way, and usually when thathappens, you know, we might get
those little energetic nudgesthat come ahead of time, which I
did get, but didn't listen towhere my body was saying, Hey,

(06:40):
slow down a little bit, or, Hey,you're getting a little bit too
tired here.
Or, Hey, your body needs alittle bit more nourishment
here, or, this part of your bodyneeds some strengthening.
And because I didn't listen tothose whispers, my body started
to scream.
And you might notice that foryourself too, that when you do
not listen to the whispers ofyour body, your body will start

(07:01):
to scream, and then at thatpoint, you will no longer be
able to ignore the messagingthat it's giving you.
So this might look likeunexpected exhaustion that
leaves you unable to function atall.
Another common symptom is losingyour voice.
It's almost as if your body issaying, well, what?
You weren't listening to meanyway, so what's the point?
Why do you need a voice?
And it can be really differentand manifest differently for

(07:22):
different people.
But as you become more familiarwith your own personal symptoms,
it will allow you the ability tointervene as needed and give
yourself that self-care so itdoesn't lead to more significant
problems in your physical body.
Okay.
A few more symptoms that youmight be experiencing is feeling
like you just can't do regularthings anymore.

(07:42):
Maybe you notice that you havemore anxiety, especially social
anxiety, maybe sounds just seemlouder.
Smells smell stronger, thelights are brighter, and
everything just feels moreintense and not necessarily in a
good way.
So instead of waiting for theburnout to just knock you off of
your feet, I wanna share withyou 10 ways that you can take
care of yourself now so that youcan stay more balanced,

(08:04):
energized, and emotionallyresilient.
Now, before I jump into all ofthese, I wanna just remind you,
just kind of listen to these andpick just one or two that really
resonate with you.
Okay?
You don't need to remember all10, but just pick out one or two
that resonate with you andincorporate them into your day
and see if it makes a differencefor you.
This is all about setting thatintention to just do a little
bit more for self every day.

(08:27):
It's about taking a little bitof time to turn inward every now
and then and say, okay, what isit that I need right now so that
I can better maintain myself andcontinue to show up in the way
that I would like to for otherpeople as well.
Okay, so here's my top 10.
Are you ready?
All right.
Number one is eat highvibrational foods.
Food is energy.

(08:48):
So I want you to really noticewhat it is that you're putting
into your body.
Make sure that you're putting inthings that will really make you
feel good.
So yeah, that chocolate cake, itmight taste really good in the
moment, but maybe an hour or solater you're not feeling so hot.
And additionally, maybe like afew peanut m and m.
Those are kinda my favorite arethe peanut butter m and ms.
Oh my goodness, they're so good.

(09:09):
So maybe a few.
Peanut butter m and ms arereally great for you in the
moment, but eating the whole bagis going to actually be
counterproductive for you andmake you feel pretty awful.
And so just kind of notice whatis going to strengthen my energy
and what is weakening my energyover time and be conscientious
of that.
Ask yourself, what is going togive me that sustained energy?

(09:31):
What could I do to increase thevibration of this snack or of
this meal just a little bit.
So maybe it's adding in a saladto your meal or having an apple
with your snack.
Maybe it's adjusting theportions in your meal, but pick
one little thing that you coulddo to increase the vibration of
your next meal.
Intentionally asking yourselfthese questions.

(09:53):
It turns on the higher mind, itturns on the prefrontal cortex,
and it pushes our higher mind tomake better decisions for us.
When we're feeling stressed, ourprimitive mind is what is
running the show.
Our primitive mind is going towant whatever's gonna make it
feel good in the immediatemoment.
That's when you're gonna findyourself binging on those peanut
butter m and ms, right?

(10:14):
That is the primitive mindrunning the show, but it's not
going to create that long-termhealth and vitality.
Yes, you might get an immediatedopamine hit, but overall you're
not going to be feeling verygood.
Your primitive mind is going towant to reach for those lower
vibrational foods.
It's going to want to hit theeasy button.
It's going to want a quickdopamine hit rather than

(10:34):
sustained health and vitality.
It wants to seek out convenienceover what is actually good for
you, so be very intentionalabout"how is it that I wanna
fuel my body today?" And reallythink about it and notice how it
is that you feel after eatingdifferent foods.
A lot of highly sensitive peopleare also highly sensitive to
foods, so see if you can slowdown your eating enough to

(10:56):
really notice how do I feel whenI'm partaking of this food?
And also notice your own mentalclarity around this, your own
emotional stability.
See how these different thingsmight be impacting your health
and wellness.
All right, number two, stayhydrated.
This is such a big one you guys.
I know it sounds super basic,but if you want your emotions to
flow, if you want to be able toflush out things that are no

(11:19):
longer serving you, you mustdrink water.
You must remain hydrated.
This doesn't only help yourphysical body, but it helps your
energetic body as well and youremotional body.
When one of my children went tosee the cardiologist, they were
looking at her heart and thedoctor actually stopped and
said, have you been feelinganxious lately?
And my daughter admitted that,"well, yeah, I have actually

(11:41):
been feeling anxious lately,"and I didn't know how we could
possibly know that by looking ather heart.
But then we were informed that,oh, it's because she's under-
hydrated, and I said, underhydrated, do you mean
dehydrated?
They said, no, no, no.
She's just under hydrated, whichis different from dehydration.
She's not quite dehydrated, butshe's under hydrated, and when
the body is under hydrated, thenthe heart has to work a lot

(12:04):
harder, and that can lead to aracing heart, which can also
cause anxiety.
And they said, I think you'regonna notice as you drink more
water, you're going to feel lessanxious.
Now, I'm not saying thatdrinking water is going to be
the cure for everyone's anxiety,but it can't hurt and it might
help, right?
So if you find yourself feelingparticularly anxious, take some

(12:26):
time to hydrate yourself and seeif it helps.
All right.
Number three, prioritize sleep.
Sleep is so important,especially for this audience.
I know that for myself, when Iget tired, I don't just get
sleepy or a little bit foggybrained, but I get physically
ill.
I get tired stomach aches, I gettired headaches.

(12:47):
Sometimes I start to wonder ifI'm getting sick and I have to
remind myself, no, this is justbecause you've pushed yourself a
little bit too hard, and this isthe fatigue telling you to slow
down so that you don't get sick.
Right.
And I have learned over theyears that if I do power
through, I do get sick.
But if I notice those firstsymptoms and I take the time to
rest, if I take the time tonourish self, then I don't get

(13:10):
sick like I would otherwise.
A lack of sleep can also makeyou more emotionally reactive,
and we don't want to beemotionally reactive.
We want to be active in ouremotions and be mindful of them
and process our emotionsactively.
But we don't want to get to thepoint where we are reacting
emotionally to our ownexperience or to the experiences
of others.

(13:31):
That's when we're starting toslide into emotional immaturity,
right?
Our prefrontal cortex isoffline.
We're reacting instead ofacting.
So if you notice that, get somesleep and figure out how much
sleep it is that you need.
I find a lot of my audience, wejust need a little bit more
sleep.
For me personally, I find aboutnine hours of sleep is kind of
the sweet spot for me.
Other people require more, otherpeople require less, but figure

(13:54):
out what it is that your bodyneeds.
And trust it.
Not everyone is going to needthe same amount of sleep, so
figure out what it is that youneed and trust it.
All right.
Tip number four, move your bodydaily.
Exercise isn't just aboutfitness.
It's about clearing out thatstuck energy.
So go for a run, do some yoga,spend some time in nature, just

(14:15):
move your body.
For me, when I'm feelingespecially stuck emotionally,
I'll jump on my vibration plateand it kind of helps me to flush
out those trapped emotions.
And it also helps me to flushout that lymphatic system.
I just feel so much better afterI've created a little bit of
movement, right?
So even if I'm feeling too tiredto do a workout, or too tired to
be out and about, I can justspend a few minutes on my

(14:37):
vibration plate and it makes ahuge difference.
So whatever your personal levelof movement is right now, I
encourage you to just increaseit by 10 minutes a day.
Take a walk on your lunch break,stretch in between your clients.
Find some way to add just alittle bit more movement into
your day, because movement isamazing when it comes to
resetting your energy.

(14:58):
All right, number six, setemotional and energetic
boundaries.
So first, let's address theemotional boundaries.
Emotional boundaries is reallyknowing the limits that you have
on your own time and your ownenergy.
It's practicing telling people,Hey, I'm sorry.
I have another obligation duringthat time.
They don't need to know thatyour other obligation is that

(15:19):
you desperately need a nap.
Okay?
They don't need to know that.
You can just tell'em you haveanother obligation.
Honor your own energy levels.
As for energetic boundaries,I'll put a link in the show
notes to my episode on EnergeticBoundaries.
It is hands down the mostpopular episode here on the
podcast with about three timesthe downloads of any other
episode, so go and check thatepisode out.

(15:40):
I have several helps for you inthat episode, but today I'm just
gonna share with you my favoritetip for setting energetic
boundaries.
I know I share this one all thetime, but I love it and
everybody tends to need areminder.
And so my favorite tip is justimagining that my aura is a
one-way mirror.
This allows me to see otherpeople clearly, but if they're
projecting out an emotion or abelief onto me, then it just

(16:03):
kind of reflects back to them sothat they can digest that so
that they can learn how tonavigate that.
Sometimes we think it's the kindthing to do to over own someone
else's experience because webelieve that they need us to fix
it.
But when we do this, when we'reover owning someone else's
experience, then oftentimeswe're actually robbing them of

(16:24):
having the experience that theyneed so that they can learn how
to navigate things on their own,which means we're essentially
limiting their personal growth.
So I just wanna remind you, itis okay to reflect back to them,
Hey, that sounds really hard.
How do you think might be thebest way to navigate this?
You can just reflect that backto them.
And this can be done eitherverbally or just energetically,
but it's essentially justreturning it back to them with

(16:46):
love and a belief that they cannavigate it.
And so maybe in your heart,you're just telling them,"Hey, I
get it.
You're having a really hard timewith this right now.
I love you and I trust thatyou're going to learn how to
navigate this.
You're stronger than you think."Another thought on boundaries is
notice if there are people,spaces, or places that drain you
more than others so that you canenergetically prepare yourself

(17:09):
before going into those spaces.
Maybe this is with the one wayaura mirror, right?
And so just kind of notice,okay, do I need to prepare a
little bit more before goinginto this space?
For example, many empaths andhighly sensitive people, they
struggle with thrift stores.
This is mostly because there areso many energies in there,
right?
There's not only the energies ofall of the people that are in
there shopping, but there's alsothe energies of thousands of

(17:33):
discarded items, which can be alot of weight for empaths and
highly sensitive people to knowhow to navigate.
But knowing that it can be achallenge, it doesn't mean that
you have to avoid thrift storesaltogether.
But remember that as you work tomaintain yourself, as you work
on your own self-care andmaintain your own personal
energy, it's going to make it alot easier for you to go into

(17:55):
those spaces without beingdrained.
It's gonna make it a lot easierto go into those conversations
without being drained.
For me now, when I go thrifting,I am not only just emotionally
okay, but I'm actually superexcited about all of the amazing
things that I can find for suchan amazing deal in there.
And so just notice for yourself,okay, this is just about
shifting the energy as I takecare of me.

(18:17):
It is so much more empoweringand I can go and do all of the
things that I'd like to do.
All right.
Tip number eight, practicebreath work and meditation.
Again, just start with 10minutes a day and see how things
shift for you.
With breath work, take a littlebit of time to really come into
your body.
Breath work is amazing forcoming into the body.

(18:37):
You're noticing and observingthe breath.
You're being consistent with it.
It's really hard to do breathwork and allow your mind to
wander because you're reallykind of in it, right?
And so maybe you want to takethat time when you're doing your
breath work to essentially callyour energy back.
Empathic energy, it tends towander.
It tends to reach out and checkin on everybody.

(18:58):
I will absolutely be doing anepisode on what empathic energy
looks like and how to call itback.
So make sure that you'resubscribed here to the podcast
if you're interested in that.
But when you find yourselffeeling depleted, it can be
incredibly powerful to just takea moment to tune into your body
and call your energy back toyou, and just notice how that

(19:18):
feels for you.
Notice any sensations that arecoming up in your body and just
be fully present in your ownbody.
It will help you to bring all ofyour energy back to you.
Now with mindfulness andmeditation, this is really
powerful because it can help youto be in the present moment, and
it can also help you todetermine what is the most
important thing right now?

(19:39):
It can help you to prioritizeyour focus and your intention
for the day.
So during your meditation, tryasking your higher self, what is
the most important thing for meto be doing right now?
Where should my focus be?
What is holding me back frombeing my best self?
What small thing can I do todayto better my mental, emotional,

(20:00):
physical, or spiritual self?
Taking the time to reallymeditate can be an amazing
opportunity for you toprioritize what it is that you
really want and need in thatmoment, and help you to live
more in accordance with yourtrue value system.
So take that time to call yourenergy back to you and then
focus on what is the mostimportant thing for right now.

(20:22):
And maybe as you have beenlistening, then you've already
been getting ideas about what'sthe most important thing that
you can do right now for you.
Maybe you want to start mealprepping so that you can have
high vibrational foods ondemand.
Maybe you want to catch up withan old friend that always lights
you up.
Maybe you want to intentionallyspend some time in nature alone.
Just ask yourself, what is itthat I need right now?

(20:43):
And if you aren't sure what itis that you need right now,
meditate on it for 10 minutesand see what it is that your
body has to tell you.
You are a magnifier.
This means that when you areexperiencing someone else's
emotions, it can feel magnifiedand really loud.
When you're feeling your ownemotions, it's easy to magnify

(21:03):
your own emotions as well andmake it so loud that it's hard
to see anything outside of you.
Guess what?
Not only are you magnifying thenegative emotions, but you also
have the ability to magnify yourjoy.
That's that thermostat energythat we've talked about here on
the podcast.
Before you get to set the tonefor the space, you get to
determine the frequency of thespaces that you go into.

(21:25):
You get to bring in your energyand magnify it to the whole
space.
You can tap into that joy andpeople will feel it when you
walk into a room.
It can really shift not onlyyour energy, but the energy of
the people and the places aroundyou as well.
It's really a beautiful thing.
So ask yourself, what is onething that would really bring me

(21:47):
joy right now?
And asking yourself, what is onething that would bring me joy
right now is such a differentquestion than how can I make the
pain stop?
Isn't it?
It is such a different question.
I know that sometimes,especially if somebody that I'm
working with is trying to numbtheir emotions, they might find
themselves turning to thingslike YouTube or social media.
They're trying to do somethingto numb out their emotions, and

(22:10):
this does serve a purpose for alot of people, so I'm not gonna
shame anybody for that, but it'sa very different experience when
you can get to the point whererather than intentionally
numbing out, you're able tointentionally seek out something
that brings you joy.
It can be so empowering.
For me right now, I find joy inwatching all the little spring
flowers coming up in my yard.

(22:31):
It is spring here.
This is our first spring in ournew home, and I don't really
know what all is planted hereyet, so it's been a lot of fun
for me to just wander the yardand see what's poking its cute
little head up.
It brings me so much joy.
I also thoroughly enjoy music.
I have started piano lessons at44 years old, and it has been so
much fun.
I'm loving it.

(22:51):
I also enjoy singing and playingthe ukulele, or even just
dancing in my kitchen.
It brings me a lot of joy and itraises my personal vibration.
It helps me to feel stronger andmore resilient.
When I do those things.
So think about something thatbrings you joy and incorporate
that into your day-to-day life.
Again, just 10 minutes a day canmake a significant difference in
how you feel.

(23:12):
All right.
And number 10, listen to yourbody.
Your body is trying to speak toyou.
It is trying to give youinformation, so take the time to
listen.
Notice that sometimes we ashumans, we tend to turn the
volume down on our own needs andwe turn the volume up on other
people's needs.
So I want you to look at yourdials, okay?

(23:34):
Imagine those volume dials rightin front of you, and tune in
with yourself to see where yourown personal volume dial is at,
and see if you can adjust yourdials to make them at least the
same volume.
Your needs are at least as validas the next persons and so
adjust those dials accordingly.
It'll make a huge difference inhow it is that you feel.

(23:56):
When you tune into your body andask it what it needs, you can
prevent a lot of stress.
You can prevent a lot of pain.
You can prevent a lot ofinjuries.
You can prevent a lot of illnesssimply by taking that time to
tune into your body and ask whatit is that it needs.
So your challenge for this weekis to pick one self-care,
practice, and implement it.

(24:16):
Maybe this means drinking morewater.
Maybe it means going to bedearlier.
Maybe it means saying no tosomething that's draining you,
or maybe it's intentionallysaying yes to something that
brings you joy.
Whatever it is, prioritize yourown wellbeing this week.
You cannot pour from an emptycup, and you'll be better able
to love and serve those aroundyou when you take that time to

(24:37):
care for yourself.
If you are an empath or a highlysensitive person who is ready to
break free of burnout, if youwant to start feeling more
energized, more clear, and feelstronger in your boundaries,
both physically andenergetically, let's work
together.
