Please join Samantha and Denise as they explore the concept of empathy as a superpower, discussing how empaths can harness their sensitivity and intuition to feel like an asset rather than a detriment. They emphasize the importance of creativity, grounding techniques, and the use of crystals for protection and energy management.

They also share practical and easy tips and techniques to enhance intuitive abilities and on how to embrace your empathic nature as a gift rather than a burden!

In this heartfelt conversation, Samantha and Denise share acts of kindness that were sent in from the Enlightened Empaths community of listeners. For her birthday this year, Samantha had asked for listeners to spread kindness as a gift that would cause a ripple effect for many.

The love, compassion and empathy of our community is an amazing tribute to the power of like minded people coming together to make a difference. Please know you are so appreciated and valued. We are both very humbled being part of such a phenomenal group of people!

Are you feeling exhausted from other people’s energy lately? Are you taking care of everyone else but have little left to take care of yourself? Please join Samantha and Denise as they explore the concept of empathy burnout, a state of emotional, mental, and physical depletion often experienced by empaths. Many of the signs and symptoms of burnout often mimic depression and anxiety which leads to the importance of self-care, and the need for strong boundaries. Learning to recognize your limits, seeking help, and utilizing metaphysical tools for healing are all ways to counteract feeling empathically wiped out.

In this week’s episode, Denise and Samantha discuss ways to determine if you are the recipient of gaslighting. This can happen with family, friends, intimate relationships but also through the social media and the news.

Gaslighting makes you second guess yourself. It erodes your ability to trust your own inner knowing. Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse that slowly but surely chips away at your inner sanctity leaving you feeling unmoored and filled with doubts. It often leaves people feeling confused and doubting their own beliefs and decision-making capabilities due to the eroding feeding of false information.

Please join Samantha and Denise as they explore Alan Watts’ concept of the Backwards Law, which suggests that the more we strive for security and control, the more we may feel insecure and out of sync with our natural state.

Watts states that acceptance of our insecurities and negative emotions can lead to greater peace and authenticity, especially for empaths who often feel the weight of others’ emotions. The emphasis on the importance of self-compassion, the fluid nature of reality, and the need to integrate these insights into daily life for personal growth and emotional well-being are all concepts that support this theory of a backwards law.

Some aspects of integrating this law include: exploring the importance of embracing emotions, practicing self-compassion, and setting healthy boundaries all which foster acceptance and trust in the process of life.

We hope you find this helpful!
