I didn’t think I was addicted to media.
I wasn’t doom-scrolling all day. I wasn’t glued to TikTok.
But still… I couldn’t stay off it.

Every time I tried to unplug—even for a day or two—I’d get pulled back in.
Emails. YouTube. News. Messages. A “quick check” that turned into hours.

It wasn’t ruining my life, but it was running it.
And that’s when I realized:
I needed support. I couldn’t do it alone.

The Unplugged Awakening is my journey—and yours—back to clarity, peace, and presence.
It’s a podcast for people who know something’s off… but haven’t had the words or community to talk about it.

If you're done letting screens control your attention—and you're ready to reconnect with real life, your soul, and what actually matters—this is for you.

Moving Beyond Comparison, Jealousy, and Feeling Left Out - Strategies for Breaking Free

For empathic people, moving beyond comparison, jealousy, and feeling left out is particularly important. Empathic people have a heightened ability to feel and understand the emotions of others, often to a greater extent than most people. This can make them more susceptible to negative feelings like comparison, jealousy, and feeling left out.

Empathic people often prioritize the needs of others, and may compare themselves to others in an attempt to better understand and help them. However, this can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem, as they may feel like they are not doing enough to help others. Additionally, empathic people may feel left out when they perceive that others are not including them in important decisions or conversations.

Breaking free from these negative thought patterns is important for empathic people to maintain their mental and emotional wellbeing. By learning strategies to move beyond comparison and jealousy, they can focus on their own unique strengths and gifts, rather than constantly comparing themselves to others. They can also develop a stronger sense of self-worth and confidence, which can improve their ability to help others in a more effective way.

Feeling left out can be particularly painful for empathic people, who may take the exclusion of others to heart. By learning to recognize their own worth and value, they can shift their focus to building positive relationships with those who appreciate and support them. This can help empathic people develop a stronger sense of belonging and community, which is essential for their overall happiness and wellbeing.

Overall, moving beyond comparison, jealousy, and feeling left out is crucial for empathic people to maintain their mental and emotional health. By breaking free from negative thought patterns, they can cultivate a sense of self-worth and confidence, and build more fulfilling relationships with others.
