Do you ever feel emotionally drained after talking to someone who unloads all their problems onto you? If you're an empath, chances are you've found yourself on the receiving end of emotional dumping more times than you can count.

In this episode, we dive into how to protect your energy and set clear, compassionate boundaries with people who bring negativity into your space-whether it’s a long-time friend, a family member, or a new acquaintance.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between emotional sharing and emotional dumping
• Why vague or passive boundaries don’t work and what to say instead
• How to create boundaries that build bridges, not walls
• When to lovingly walk away from relationships that no longer feel safe or reciprocal
• How to hold space for others without abandoning yourself

This is your permission to stop carrying what isn’t yours and reclaim your peace.

🛠️ Mentioned in this episode:

• A “Vague vs. Clear Boundaries” script for empaths
• Practical boundary-setting language for difficult conversations
• How to recognize when “being nice” is actually self-abandonment
• Grounded mindset shifts to release guilt around saying no

✨ Perfect For You If:

• You're an empath, healer, helper or  sensitive person
• You feel responsible for other people’s emotional states
• You struggle with guilt when setting limits
• You want to support others without sacrificing your mental health
