In my last post I wrote about my discovery of being an empath. I finally figured this out by accident when, during an interaction with a family member, I realized that I had had a completely different experience and responded completely differently as a child. This should not come as big news as we are
Do you feel like you absorb the emotions of others? Do you get lost in other’s needs and problems? Do people tell you you are ‘just too sensitive?’ Do you get overwhelmed by crowds and take longer to recover? Chances are you are an empath. This is a gift, when harnessed. As a child I
“She’s so.. he always… she’ll never… I always… ” The list goes on. Have you ever stopped to notice how much you assume, judge and predict the world based on the past? It’s a natural human tendency. We had to predict danger and assess our environment in order to survive. But is it holding you

Is fear running your life? If so, then you are probably in reaction to it. Think of a time you felt anxious. It might be recent, or perhaps a time in your past when you felt anxious. If you were in actual danger you would have immediately gone into a fight-flight-freeze reaction in an effort
How is it that the underlying, toxic belief of our unworthiness is so pervasive? It’s like a virus in our software that the powers-that-create have not found the right anti-bugging program for! It invades our interactions, our relationships, our material wealth and our ability to be who we are, show up and create a truly
