The Empowered Empath

Have you ever internally beaten yourself up for being someone who feels irritated, often?

Do you ever catch yourself spinning on thoughts like "I SHOULDN'T be feeling this way" ~ or ~ "Well my PARTNER doesn't feel this way - why am I feeling so overwhelmed and irritated?"

Then tune in this week. Come unshame some irritation and other negative emotions with me.

Watch what happens when you choose to unshame the negative side of life's feelings instead of telling yourself that you "shouldn't" be feeling something.

Ep 17 – Redefining “rich” with Tiffany – The Rebellious Educator

Today we’re welcoming Tiffany Sinton, The Rebellious Educator, to the podcast.

We live under an outdated definition of what “rich” is. Many of us (myself included) have someone else’s definition of "rich" living rent-free inside our heads.

What happens when we don’t take a minute to question and redefine what this word actually means TO US – we unconsciously try to live someone else’s definition of "rich" OR we push it away, thinking it’s gross or not for us.

What happens when we REDEFINE it though?

This was the initial inspiration for me inviting Tiffany on, but what we uncovered by riffing together was so much more.

Honestly – we didn’t even get to talking about redefining rich until the very end - our energy had other plans, and we explored a lot of cutting edge ideas together.

So grab a glass of tea, coffee or imbibe with some wine and join us like we’re all hanging in my living room together - redefining old paradigms and choosing to usher in something fresh, new and never been seen before.

"Capacity." I'm OBSESSED with this word.

What does "having capacity" for something mean? How do you sense when your capacity says "nope - that's enough for now"? What happens when we override our capacity? How do we practice using our capacity for cultivating growth?

Tune in with me today as we explore just a fraction of this insanely important topic... how and why to honor your capacity.

As always, I speak from my own experience, coupled with analogies (which I think is my love-language) to bring this concept down to earth and into your practical life.

How many times have you said or thought "well I wouldn't do that!" when someone does something you deem unacceptable?

It seems harmless, but what are you making this thought mean about other people? About yourself?

Let's explore this together! Let's do the "ugly work" of playing with "judge-y" perspectives and see if something inside needs a refresher.

--> In this realm we know that judgment keeps us small; but discernment actually helps us expand and accept.

Consider this episode like a Discernment Class 2.0.

Come play ;)

We've all heard this advice, and in fact we also AGREE with it... if we could just stop "taking it personally" our lives would be SO much easier, fluid, and we'd hold on to so much less bullshit.

But exactly how do we do this?

Join me this week as I talk about one of my favorite ways of viewing myself and other human beings that has helped me stop questioning why someone didn't invite me to their party or get together, helped me let go of feeling like I "need" to like someone else just for the sake of it, and significantly leveled up my self-trust of my own discernment.

It's such a fun and simple metaphor to play with - I can't wait to hear how you test-drive this in your own life.

Gorgeous humans. You are always moving and changing... outgrowing old paradigms, and downloading new ones.

And along that process, we experience big shifts. These internal shifts can feel significantly disruptive to our "normal" mode of operating.

When we're in this transitory experience - we can feel "stupid". Like we're not comprehending life in the "normal" way we're used to.

Well guess what - you're NOT comprehending life like you used to... because your entire system is going through an update. A reboot. A deprogramming.

Give it the space to do so, and watch your life "magically" fall into place... the next place.

Tune in for some perspective twists to help you anchor this in for yourself.

Ok, so you know how the main definition of being an empath is a person who has the ability to sense other people's emotions? Let's remember the base-line of this... emotion = energy-in-motion.

And, as an empowered empath: you're someone who is practicing honoring this innate ability of yours, which means *working with the emotion (energy-in-motion) that you naturally sense sense*.... THIS IS AN ENERGY WORKER 😉

Tune in this week as I share how this simple perspective-flip took me from a dis-empowered empath, to an empowered AF one🤘

This week we're talkin' BOUNDARIES.

(Did you just throw up in your mouth a little bit?)

Boundaries are one of the most important skills that we get to practice as empaths, visionaries, sensitive people.

They:

• Help us show up more as our authentic Selves (which means we enjoy our Life significantly more)

• Create stability and structure for our continued expansion + evolution

• Even let us relax because we are telling our energy system: "Hey - I've got you!!"

Whether you're new to practicing boundaries (I share a great way to practice this with "training wheels!") - or this is old hat stuff for you - tune in and gain new perspective on this vital practice.

And as always: start where you are + make it your own.

*NOTE: Yeah, so I accidentally did a little foreshadowing when - mid recording - I snoozed my alarms for a while, thinking I'd have ample time to talk about this important subject and then... I got cut off at the end by my alarm. However - I still kept the episode because there are a bunch of gold nuggets in here for you to practice and I got cut off rambling about ways to work with me, so I was done with this week's subject anyway. ;)

Today I'm sharing what it was like to be in a cult for about 2 years.

Keep in mind - my cult experience wasn't like the documentaries you see on TV; mine was a lot more like an intimate, entangled mess of a relationship where I allowed someone else to use my time and energy for her benefit, all under the guise of her acting as my "spiritual guru".

Perhaps you can relate? Maybe you've given your power away to someone else - be it a romantic partner, a friend, a boss, a group of people.

I no longer look back on that period of my life as a "mistake"; in fact - it's been one of the most important parts of my journey of finding & anchoring in my own personal empowerment story.

Tune in and hear what I learned from that one time when I lost my sense of self and how I found my way back home.

Why is it seemingly so hard to let other people have a "negative opinion" - aka a judgement - about us? Why does this even matter to talk about? And what can we do about it?

By now, you know my method - we alchemize the f*ck outta it. We heal old programs (belief systems) + download new ones.

Let's de-mystify & unpack this whole judgment thing together.
