“People-pleasing isn’t being kind. It’s an act of self-protection. That’s why we do it.” – Terri Cole

Intro

Do you notice micro changes in people’s facial expressions and ask yourself, “What did I do wrong?”

Are you able to sit with someone in pain without trying to fix them?

Are you so emotionally attuned to everything and everyone that you feel exhausted?

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not broken; you just lack the skills (boundaries!) needed to embrace your superpower (being an empath).You can care, love, and feel deeply without losing yourself in someone’s pain, which is what I’m talking about in this episode. I hope it helps you hit pause on taking on people’s emotions and gives you the tools you need to manage your energy.
