Overview//Main Points:

Influencers - term I came up with; someone who impacts our life greatly, or someone in our lives a bit more than parents - coaches, teachers, friend, relationship (romantic or not); people close to us. Great influence or impact on us.

What they can do for us - understand us on a whole different level.

Understand that empaths are wired differently and HSP are more sensitive.

Share this episode with someone you think plays a greater impact in your life so they understand how to work with you.

Understanding the empath - wired differently; able to show/mirror someone’s physical and emotional symptoms.

As an influencer, what you can do for the empaths/HSP in your life:

• Do the research - understanding an empath brain (Episode 2), tips for supporting empaths, etc. Struggles of an empath (Episode 3)

• Give them what they need - providing quiet time + time to recharge

• Understand their boundaries - not doing it to personally harm you or get you in an emotional state. This is for THEIR benefit. -- needing to sleep alone, a bit extra space, driving separately, etc.

• Don’t take things personally - if they’re asking for something, they’re doing it for the goodness of both of you

• Accept their sensitivities - respect and honor them as best you can

• Be cautious of your music/movies - sometimes empaths or hsp get really affected by music and it can be a lot on us.

Need to protect ourselves -- I follow the seasons of my body. Makes me understand myself a little bit more.

Meditating is so important. Find a quiet area with your empath or HSP. So nice to be able to provide them with that support. Speaks to them on a different level.
