Not all of your feelings are yours. Knowing this will help you navigate your entire life with more ease. Feeling other people’s feelings—momentarily or ongoingly, but in a very intentional way—can be a form of service. The more conscious we become, the more “sensing” we will be. And please, this is not to be mistaken with being overly sensitive and dysregulated, okay?
I talk about shadow eaters. I talk about empathic normies. I talk about the sensitive folks who need to learn how to NOT carry what they’re picking up on. Because there is NO SENSE or SERVICE in letting the suffering of humanity ruin your capacity to function and re-stabilize in joy.
This is the work.
In this episode:
- The day I felt suicidal energy that wasn’t mine
- Where some feelings actually come from (hint: not your brain)
- Who the “shadow eaters” are—and why they’re rare
- Why Love isn’t a feeling (and what it actually is)
- How to stop overidentifying with suffering
- Being empathic doesn’t make you more special—it makes you responsible
- Spiritual support is not optional—it’s essential
