70: Are You Really an Empath - or Is It Something Else?
Jul 22, 2025 Episode 70

If you’ve ever described yourself as an empath, this is for you.

I’m diving into a conversation I’ve wanted to have for a long time. One that’s honest, direct, and grounded in love.

Because what if the thing we often call empathy… isn’t actually empathy at all?

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why what you’re feeling might actually be a trauma response, not true empathy
  • How growing up as the peacekeeper shapes your adult relationships
  • The difference between compassion and self-abandonment
  • The one question I ask myself to spot people-pleasing in real time
  • What changes when you stop taking responsibility for everyone else's emotions

This episode is about claiming your sensitivity with boundaries, showing up with integrity, and no longer abandoning yourself in the name of being kind.
