Get ready for a transformative conversation as I welcome Dr. Judith Orloff—psychiatrist, empath, and bestselling author—onto the show to dive deep into the world of empathy and energy management. Judith shares her incredible wisdom on how being an empath can be both a profound gift and a real challenge, and she offers powerful, practical tools to protect your energy and set healthy boundaries.
