Listen Later

Signe Hovem is an author, ordained Spiritual Counselor, and energy medicine practitioner, who helps people feel loved, safe, & connected.

Ever felt like a human sponge - getting bombarded with energy from all different directions? Yeah, me too! This is a must-listen – especially as we head into the holidays!

Today on Living Big Mindfully, Signe is helping us explore empaths, HSPs (highly sensitive people), & empathy…

Signe starts with a bit about her journey living as a highly sensitive person, empath, and mother of highly sensitive children.

Then we dive right in – talking about:

  • Highly sensitive people & what to do if you are one…
  • Looking at empaths on a spectrum
  • The difference between empathy and empaths.
  • And how people can be an empath without empathy! Yes, that is a thing…

Signe offers listeners so many tips & strategies. For example:

  • How to protect yourself if you tend to be an emotional sponge
  • The power of learning to use “I am…” statements.
  • How to help a sensitive child or grandchild navigate the world.

You’ll also learn why Signe sees self-love, self-awareness, and connection with the natural world as fundamental to balance, purpose, & joy. 

Every so often I have a conversation with someone who pours out so much love & wisdom – this is one of the episodes.

Although the sound quality is a bit funky… regardless, from start to finish - this show is full of heartfelt sage advice.

As always, thank you for listening. I appreciate you!
