58: What is an Empath? With Caroline of The Happy Sensitive


Listen Later

I've heard the word "empath" a lot, but didn't truly understand what it meant. I thought it maybe simply referred to people who experienced a lot of empathy....? But that didn't seem right. When searching for a simple explanation about empaths, I came up empty, until I found this great article on Caroline's website, The Happy Sensitive. It was then I knew that I just had to get Caroline on the podcast to help explain empaths!

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What is and isn't an empath
  • The struggles and benefits of being an empath
  • The difference between an empath, trained empath, and clair-sentient
  • Energy and spiritual levels versus practical, psychological level
