Got Empath Overload? What Human Design Shows You About Being an Empath + How to Cope


Listen Later

One of the traits of being an HSP is being empathetic. And it’s always struck me that empathy shows up differently in different people. And in varying degrees. My way of experiencing empathy may feel different than yours.

When I discovered Human Design, I finally had a framework for understanding how we empathically experience other people. I knew the information I’m sharing in this podcast episode could lead to profound self-understanding for HSPs and empaths. 

When you know and understand how your empathic transmissions occur, you can lean into the strengths that come with them and use mindful awareness to reduce the emotional toll that comes from experiencing others so strongly.

This episode is inspired by the questions I’ve received from HSPs. You are living and working led by your big caring hearts. On one hand, it feels so meaningful and important and is such an honor to understand others so deeply through your empathy. And on the other hand, taking in the energy of other people can make your own emotional load feel heavier and heavier.  You may feel the quality of your own life evaporating. 

So in the latest podcast episode, you will discover:

  • The 4 Centers in Human Design where you most powerfully take in the energy of others.
  • The Center that’s responsible for analysis paralysis that also shows you how to move past it.
  • Strategies for reducing the emotional toll of being an empath.
  • Why I abandoned my Instagram account.
  • Why decisions are not meant to be made with your mind and what to do instead to tap into your inner knowing.

My goal is always to share information that will empower you and help you see new possibilities for living a life of greater ease that lights you up, and my hope is that this information will begin to do just that.
