This episode was created as a part 2 of last week's episode on what is an Empath? In this episode, I share effective strategies and resources for being an empath.

Being an empath is like having a built-in superpower for understanding and connecting with others on a deep level. However, without the right tools it can be overwhelming. This episode is helpful for you to learn how to develop your own tools and practices.

Effective Strategies:

1. Ground yourself and your energy.

2. Protect your energy or shielding. Golden clock of light.

3. Emotional detachment.

4. Limit or be mindful of exposure. Watch for energy suckers.

5. Practice mindfulness and self-awareness.

6. Use visualization techniques.

7. Set healthy boundaries. This is often one of the most challenging lessons for empaths - learn to say no without feeling guilty, and have sturdy, clear boundaries, it's a full body yes or full body no there is no in-between.

8. Develop emotional resilience. Strengthen your own emotional well-being, emotional intelligence and self-awareness.

9. Release absorbed energy. This is also so helpful and important for empaths, if you have absorbed someone else's energy are you aware of what that feels like? Can you ask - is this energy or feeling mine? What does a yes feel like? What does a no feel like? When it is not your energy how can you release it?

10. Surround yourself with good energy. Your vibe attracts your tribe, be mindful. Seek out uplifting environments, calming activities or find your soul family.

If you don't have your people yet don't worry, just begin to actively start seeking out what you desire in a relationship or community. Be the energy that you want to attract in. Own your weight and wear it proud, be yourself, take the mask off. Own who you are and be brave enough to show up fully regardless of who likes it or not. It's not your job to worry about what other people think. It's your job to work on your energy, healing, and personal growth.

Notice patterns within yourself. How do you feel in crowds? Are there things that help? Are there places or people who consistently make you feel a certain way? What is your body trying to tell you?

When you work with being an empath you will understand your heightened awareness can help you increase your intuition and your clairsenses. You can use these abilities to help you in your everyday life. Empaths are the healers, leaders, visionaries, the change-makers, the helpers. Do you feel called to help others? What gift do you feel like you are meant to share with the world? What is holding you back?

Be mindful of the fear cycle that is trying to stop the helpers and healers, You can't heal yourself or help others from a place of fear.

In this episode, I share insights on what an empath is and why being empathic is actually your superpower. This is a part 1 of a 2 part series, so stay tuned for part 2 next week.

In this episode:

- What is an empath

- What the difference between empathy and being empathic?

- 10 common traits of an empath

- What does it actually mean to be "highly sensitive" - you are actually deeply attuned

- Inspiration and insights on how to get curious about learning more about yourself - empath self-discovery and evolution

- Just because you absorb other people's emotions doesn't mean you have to, you can learn this skill and I want to help you do it

- Empaths have strong intuitions - they often sense things before they are spoken around them, learn to use this heightened sense to your advantage (let it work for you not against you)

- Energetic Boundaries are helpful, healthy and necessary

- Deep compassion for everyone else but not yourself? not anymore

- Prioritize your strong connection to nature as a ground technique and to regulate your nervous system regularly

- If you get drained easily as an empath you are going to want to become so aware of what your energy deposits and withdrawals are - you will also need to become more comfortable saying no, having boundaries and learning to receive better

- Are you drawn to a healing profession? you are likely an empath, how can being an empath become a superpower in your line of being of service?

- Rituals are your new best friend - I share my rituals and how they have helped me so much

- Journaling and reflecting on experiences and learning from them

- Empaths are great listeners which is why everyone always comes up to you and feels safe to open up to you - learn to discern what you can hold the space for. Just because you are a good listener doesn't mean you have to do it all the time, you have free will and choice

- It's not your job to carry other people's emotions

Happy Valentine's Day! With love in the air I wanted to share an episode on Love, and learning more about becoming a conscious couple. Earlier this week I shared on Instagram some questions that Mark and I ask each other that have transformed our marriage for the better.

15 Questions:

1. How do you most naturally express love? How do you most naturally feel love? Through words (words of affirmation), physical touch, acts of service, gifts or quality time?

Ask follow-up questions - for example, if someone says they receive and give love through gifts a follow-up question would be what makes you feel love when receiving a gift? What is special about it? Are there certain gifts that make you feel more loved? etc.

2. What makes you feel the most loved and appreciated?

3. Are there ways I express love that you may not recognize as love?

4. Do you find it easy or difficult to receive love? Why?

5. Are there past experiences that make it hard for you to accept love openly?

6. How do you prefer to be comforted when you're feeling down? stressed? sad? overwhelmed?

7. What small gestures from e make you feel deeply loved?

8. What brings you the most joy when giving love to me?

9. Are there times when you feel your love isn't received in the way you intended?

10. How can I help you feel after and confident in expressing love?

11. Are there any ways you would like to expand or change how you give love?

13. How do you feel when we're out of sync in expressing love?

15. What does love feel like to you beyond words or actions?

Asking questions like this regularly can help deepen your connection and ensure that love is expressed and received in ways that feel meaningful to both partners. Mark and I love to ask "What do you need?" it's such a helpful question to ask and opens up honest communication, problem solving and connection.
