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!

Has anyone ever randomly made a huge difference in your life just by reaching out or offering unexpected support? Or maybe you’ve played this role for someone else and reached out a hand to someone in need. In this episode, Denise and Samantha share stories and examples of ordinary people who have performed extraordinary acts of kindness and compassion. These individuals and groups, true Earth Angels, have made a significant impact in their communities, from helping those in need to rescuing animals.

Each story seems to highlight that even small acts of kindness can create a ripple effect of positivity and truly impact someone else’s life. As empaths many of us do this as just part of who we are, keep doing you, it’s working!
