Are you an empath… or are you clairsentient?

In this episode of The Unity Code, Nicole breaks down the truth most people aren’t talking about:

Being an empath is simply being highly developed in clairsentience.

That’s it.

If you absorb other people’s emotions…
If your mood shifts instantly around certain people…
If you get physical sensations that aren’t yours…
If you’ve ever felt “emotionally volatile” and didn’t know why…

You’re not broken.
You’re energetically receptive.

Nicole shares:

  • What clairsentience really is
  • Why empaths often struggle with emotional overwhelm
  • How to tell what’s yours vs. what you’re absorbing
  • The science + energetics behind mood shifts
  • Why grounding and protection actually matter
  • How to use your empath ability as a superpower instead of a burden

This episode will change how you see your sensitivity — and your power.

Because once you know what’s yours…
You stop carrying what isn’t.

SPEAKER_00 (01:11):
Welcome back to the Unity Code where I am going to
continue our journey with ClairSentience and break your brain a
little bit more today.
But I'm going to actually turnthe direction a little bit
because I'm actually going totalk to you and prove to you
today that being an empath justmeans that you are an expert in

(01:35):
Clairsentience.
That's all it means.
The same fucking thing.
Yep.
I'm going to say and I'm goingto break it down for you what
that means, why I know this tobe true, and why, if you're an
empath, likely Claire Sentienceis your number one Claire as
well.
Okay.
Now, again, there is nothing tobe afraid of here.

(01:56):
Again, just to recap from thelast episode, Claire Sentience
is the Claire related tofeeling.
So this is how energetics arereceived in your body, and it
tends to be brought in throughemotions, personalities,
feelings, etc.
Now, by definition, being anempath is somebody that absorbs

(02:17):
other people's emotions.
Are you are you putting out?
Are you are you getting what I'mputting out yet?
Like, does it already start tomake sense for you?
So let me break this down in astory for all of you.
Because much like my journeywith Clairsentience and the fact
that I didn't want it, spiritturned it on for me.

(02:38):
I was all set with it, but I hadto learn how to master it.
I also was completely cluelessabout how much of an empath I
am.
Completely fucking clueless.
I knew that I was very good atquote unquote reading people.
And it wasn't until I got intothis metaphysical journey that I

(03:00):
really understood what thatmeant.
And this is a shout out to, Ibelieve it's Lisa Campion's
book.
I think it's called EnergyHealing for Empaths, where I
read that and it was just likefireworks in my brain to help me
understand how much I actuallypick on the emotions, feelings

(03:22):
of others.
Like I pick up on everybody'senergy around me, and I had no
fucking idea.
And this is why rabbit hole,just for a half second, this is
why a lot of metaphysical peoplewill preach about ground and
clearing protecting, becausethat allows you to essentially
like remove any energy that'snot yours and clear your energy

(03:42):
field from anybody else's energyand block it off, which is
critical because step number onein doing this metaphysical work
is to understand your own energyso that you know when it's
different, because that meanssomething or someone is coming
in.
And that's a really, reallyimportant skill to have.
That discernment is really,really important to have.
So as I started to read thislovely book by Lisa Campion, I

(04:06):
remember it was a couple summersago, and it talks about how
people who have, who areempathic, essentially absorb the
emotions of others as if theyare your own.
Like that's the key with empathyis that you don't understand, or

(04:27):
being being an empath is thatyou don't understand that these
are not actually your emotions.
And so what my emotions looklike before this point is that I
would it's almost like I wasbipolar, but I wasn't, I wasn't
certified or diagnosed oranything like that.
But I would have good days, Iwould have bad days, my emotions
would turn on a dime.
Um, I grew up walking oneggshell shells to please

(04:50):
everybody because I could like Iknew when they were upset at me
and it it was it crushed myenergy.
Like I would get depressed if Ithought about how other people
were upset with me or didn'tlike me.
And so I was greatly impacted bythe emotions and the energies of
other people.
And I I like I probably knewthat consciously, but I thought

(05:16):
I was my own worst critic.
I thought that I was responsiblefor that internal like hate that
I had for myself, that internaldepression that I had for
myself, the internal um judgmentthat I had for myself.
And I'm not quite sure wherethat's gonna go.
I'm probably gonna break thatapart.
And over time, I just started torealize like I'm just a very

(05:40):
volatile person emotionally.
Like I know I'm a volatileperson.
I know I'm very unpredictable.
Um, and when I found myself inthe right crowds with people
that liked me, loved me, peoplethat respected me.
And when I went to businessschool in particular, like I
found that my emotions andenergies evened out a little

(06:00):
bit, right?
And so it got easier.
And then I had kids.
When you have kids, you realizehow fucking volatile kids are.
And so when I was reading LisaCampion's book with little kids
in the backseat, it finallyfucking clicked.

(06:23):
It finally all made sense.
And I didn't believe it atfirst.
Like everything else, I neededto collect data and I needed to
understand it, but the way thatshe described how their energy
comes into our energy field andwe pick it up as our own, it
started with me being fine,sitting in the car with my kids

(06:45):
and immediately getting apounding headache.
Like, like with like immediatelypounding headache.
And then I looked back at mykids in the backseat and I said,
Who has the headache?
And my son raised his hand.
And I was like, Fuck, it's notme.
I would have thought that I justgot a headache in that moment.
I had no idea that otherpeople's energy impacted me that

(07:09):
much.
And here's the wild part.
Here's the wildest part aboutthis.
When you acknowledge where theenergy comes from, and and you
like, you're like, great, takethat energy back, it stops.
The headache went away.
This was the beginning of myjourney understanding the
energetics behind Clairsentienceand how we receive it, right?

(07:36):
And this continues to happen tothis day because I went skiing
last weekend and I'm not thebest skier.
I snowboarded for many years,and so I'm not the most amazing
of skiers, but I was skiing withmy daughter who's 10 years old
and kicking my ass already.

(07:56):
And I noticed that as I wouldski by certain people, my nerves
with the skis would change.
Like no fucking, no fucking wordof a lie.
I skied by a woman that wassuper nervous, and I got super
fucking nervous in like 10seconds, and then I skied past
her, and it was fine.

(08:17):
I, my husband, then came upbehind me, and he's a fantastic
skier.
And as soon as he came up behindme, it's like I absorbed that
energy, and in that 10 secondshe flew by me, I was a fantastic
fucking skier.
I had no problems.
I had all of the confidence.
And it was wild, even this latein the game, well, not late in

(08:38):
the game, this far along in mymetaphysical, you know,
spiritual development, that I'mstill having these recognitions.
I mean, it speaks number one toprobably how I need to protect
my energy, but I'm outside, it'sgorgeous.
That one's fine.
Um, but also how I'm picking upon the energies of others still.
And if I wasn't consciouslytagging the fact that it was a

(09:00):
new feeling for 10 seconds, thenI was gone, I probably would
have never thought that it wassomebody else's emotions or
energy that were influencing me.
And this is why being an empathis such a mind fuck, is because
it feels like yours.
There is no indication that thatenergy is coming from somewhere

(09:23):
else, besides that it comes onquickly.
And if they leave your presence,it goes away quickly.
That's the only reason.
But if it comes on quickly andyou claim it as your own, you're
gonna just continue with thatfeeling if you don't know any
better.
Isn't that the craziest thingabout being an empath?
And like this is the thing thatI want all women to learn.

(09:45):
I want to scream it from therooftops for women because a lot
of the things we carry, we knoware not our own, but that
includes our emotions.
That includes our fuckingfeelings.
And so the more that you learnabout energetics, the better off
you're gonna be because you'restarting to realize what's

(10:05):
actually truly yours?
What is the weight that youtruly need to carry this
lifetime?
Versus where are you picking upon the energetic discharge and
the energetic honest to God,toxicity of other people, and
you take it on as your own andyou think that you're the toxic
person, which is why for most ofmy life, I had no idea that I

(10:26):
was taking on other people'senergy and emotions.
Because again, I grew up in ahousehold where we didn't talk
about emotions and feelings,right?
Passive aggressiveness was thegame that we played.
There was no open, like, I loveyou.
There was no open talks of likediscussions or emotions.
I was too sensitive.

(10:47):
I had to shut all of my emotionsdown.
So I learned from a very young,young age that emotions were
bad, you know?
And I don't think as a parentnow, it's kind of like a 180
because I understand.
Because I have very emotionalkids.
And like I would love to nothave a fucking meltdown every
single day.
And I love my kids and I realizethat they're navigating big

(11:08):
emotions.
And as a mom, I want to bethere, but that means that I
need to expand my nervous systemcapacity to handle not only my
emotions, but their emotionstoo.
And as a mom, that's a reallyfucking hard thing to do all day
when I'm doing laundry anddishes and cooking.
And again, my nervous system isshot.
And so I understand, Iunderstand now why parents want

(11:30):
their kids to be quiet.
I totally fucking get it.
And that's why when I wasgrowing up, I never knew that I
was taking on the emotions andenergies of others because I was
just learning that everythingthat I had was bad.
So whenever I felt anything, itwas bad.
If I felt, you know, heavy sad,that was bad.
If I felt good, that was bad.

(11:51):
Like I wasn't allowed to showemotion, right?
I feel like every kid in the 80sand 90s didn't have emotions.
Like we just the society we wereraised in.
And so growing up, essentiallyavoiding all of these deep
feelings and emotions that youhave.
Of course, we're not equipped.

(12:12):
Of course, we have no idea thatthese are not ours because we
don't even know what our ownemotions feel like.
I've gone way off topic.
No, I haven't.
I just haven't related it toClaire Sentient yet.
So I guess this is more aboutbeing an empath.
I just follow where spirit wantsme to go.

(12:33):
And so this is why that book wasso life-changing for me, is
because I started to recognizeall these big, huge fucking
feelings I had, they weren't allmine.
They were not my responsibility.
And so I started to learn how tolike learn how to ground center

(12:54):
clear.
I learned how to startprotecting my energy.
And then what I noticed is myenergy got a lot more even keel
once I got rid of everybodyelse's emotions.
I was no longer feeling like Iwas bipolar, I was no longer
being greatly influenced andimpacted by the crazy energies
around me.

(13:17):
I started to learn what myenergetic norm was.
And again, this is such animportant fucking skill.
To be grounded in your ownenergy, like that, and like
that's step one.
And then what happens when youcan actually control your own
energy and emotions?

(13:38):
And it's not like control as indon't have emotions, but it but
you're allowing yourself to feelthem at a level that you're
comfortable with because youknow they're yours and they're
not somebody else's, then yournervous system learns how to
handle those emotions.
Then emotions aren't so scary.
And then you start recognizingthat everybody else around you
has these big fucking emotionsthat they can't handle either.

(14:01):
But when you are stable in yourenergy, you can stay calm and be
this space, safe space for otherpeople to hold their big
emotions.
And that became a huge gamechanger for me as a mom.
And I'm so glad.
Like, if nothing else, I'm soglad on this journey.
This was a thing that I learnedis how to recognize when I'm

(14:22):
taking on the energies andemotions of others.
And that's helped me be a betterperson.
That's helped me be a betterwife.
That's helped me be a bettermom.
That's helped me be a betterfriend.
Because I realize those bigenergies that I feel, that's

(14:43):
what they're feeling, and now Ican help them through it.
I can hold them and give themspace and walk them through it.
And this is exactly whatclairsentience is taking on the
emotions and energies of others.
And that's why clairsentience isexactly the same as being an

(15:06):
empath.
Because at some point in ourevolution as souls and of
people, because we are bothhere, we are human beings, we
are of the 3D and we are of thespirit world.
It's like 4D, 5D, whatever,whatever the other dimensions
are, all 20-something of them,or there's probably more than

(15:28):
that, there was an importantpart in our soul and physical
evolution that needed to developclairsentience or being an
empath.
Because at some point it wascritical to our evolution and
development as people and souls.

(15:50):
And when you take thatperspective, that there's
something hugely valuable andbeneficial in learning and
feeling somebody else'semotions, again, now you can
look at it and be like, wait asecond, that's fucking cool.
That's fuck how does that work,right?
Like, how how is that work thatI can actually take on the

(16:13):
energies and emotions ofsomebody else?
But do you know that I do thatin reverse with my clients now?
Now that I know that most of myclients come to me and they are
empaths, because most of us are,like probably everyone listening
to this podcast is raising theirhand.
Yeah, I'm an empath too.

(16:34):
I know that you absorb theenergies and emotions of others.
So you bet your ass if you booksessions with me, I come very
calm and clear.
And I come sending calm, lovingenergy at you so that you feel
safe, so that you feelcomfortable, so that your
nervous system starts torebalance.

(16:56):
Isn't that fucking cool?
So now that you know that beingan empath is the same as being a
wicked, strong, clear sentient,and probably most of your
friends are empaths too.
Now you know how to help themwhen you start taking on their
chaotic energy and you're like,whoa, whoa, whoa, that's not
mine.
I'm gonna send back lovingenergy to them.

(17:19):
Now you get it.
Now you get the podcast episodea few ago where I said, send
light into the dark.
Because if you go into the darkand you are an empath, what do
you absorb?
If you're not protecting yourenergy, you absorb the dark.
But if you stay in your lightand you send love to those

(17:45):
people who need it, who arelikely empaths as well, you're
sending high vibration-lovingenergy that they will absorb and
adjust their energy.
Isn't that fucking cool?
Isn't that like the most amazingshit ever?
And this is where the energeticsof this stuff just blows my
mind.
And this is why I'm justinsatiable with all of the

(18:07):
knowledge that I want to learnfrom spirit and the energy and
the energetics and thefrequencies and all these really
cool things is because now thatwe know how, we can start kind
of like playing jump rope withit, right?
Now we can start using it to ourcollective advantage, to our
healing advantage.
Now we can use it to help otherpeople and not be victims of

(18:30):
other people's bullshit, liketoxic emotions.
That is how we gain our powerback in this space is by
recognizing what's ours andhelping people who are volatile
in theirs.
Isn't that rad?
Isn't that like the coolest shitin the world?

(18:51):
It's the coolest.
Like I love this stuff.
I love that stuff.
I'm seeing if there's anythingelse in my notes.
Um maybe before we scoot out ofhere, again, some hints that you
are an empath and you're takingon the emotions of others

(19:11):
because I've already said it,but I'm gonna explicitly say it
again.
If you suddenly have moodchanges, physical, bodily
changes, like again, like meskiing, like getting nervous and
then getting confident.
If like sometimes I will walk bypeople and my knee will start to
hurt, and then they will walkaway and my knee doesn't hurt
anymore.
So notice anything that comes onsuddenly and ask yourself, ask

(19:37):
your intuition, is this mine?
Yes or no?
You can use a body pendulum ifyou want.
You you can YouTube that, Googleit, and you can ask yourself, is
this mine?
Yes or no?
And if it's not yours, then youcan kindly, just like shitty
mail, return to sender.
It's yours now, take it back.
Take it back, I don't want it.

(19:57):
And when you start to do thatconsistently and you start to
notice your own energy start toeven out, you're gonna start
recognizing what's not yoursfaster and faster and faster.
And that is gonna be a gamechanger in terms of your daily
quality of life, in terms ofemotions and vibrations.

(20:19):
And don't you think it's gonnabe so much easier to manifest,
to be gracious and grateful, tostay in high vibrational
alignment with yourself whenyou're not carrying the
energetics of people who are notyou?
Yeah, that's whatmanifestation's about.

(20:41):
We're gonna get to that too.
I'll write that down for afuture podcast episode.
Well, I hope, I hope you enjoyedthis one.
Um, isn't it wild?
Isn't it wild this story ofbeing an empath and being
clairsentient and how you canactually use that superpower for
good?
You go, Glen Coco, get yoursuper, super man, super woman

(21:03):
on, and go send out thoseloving, healing vibes everywhere
you go because that is how wechange the vibration of planet
Earth.
All right.
I'd love to hear how this hitsfor you.
I love you, I love you, I loveyou.
Um, if you have any questions,let me know.
I'd love to answer them for you.
And I hope you have an amazingfucking day.
Take care.
