Saying No to Over-Service as a Sensitive
Episode 35 Season 2 Jessi explains that as Sensitives, we tend to jump at the chance to be of service to others. This often leads to overactivation and inauthenticity. We absorb the experiences of those around us in a way that can make us lose track of our true, authentic purpose. In this episode, Jessi helps us to understand that truly knowing who we are is a prerequisite to serving from a place of health. It is when we don't have a clear understanding of who we are that our service to others no longer supports the greater good. As Jessi explains, when our unique gifts as Sensitives are protected and used sparingly, we have a much greater impact in this world. Jessi ends this episode by leading us through a breathwork and prompt practice that can push us out of a state of overactivation and to a place of peace and authenticity.

“Please know that if you are saying yes to everything, you are diluting the impact that you're meant to have. It leads to a feeling of meaningless that leads to feeling lost. The more that you focus on your true purpose, the greater impact you will have.” - Jessi Michel Agadoni
“Nonprofit work is a really big arena of heroin empaths and if you're in that industry you have a lot to be careful of. You need strong boundaries and a solid understanding of yourself. And that is rarely seen within that space.” - Jessi Michel Agadoni
“You have to say no to service opportunities. Unless the help needed falls within your unique calling and gifting, you are actually going to be in the way. So instead of always saying yes, get out of the way and focus in on why you are here and what your true purpose is.” - Jessi Michel Agadoni
