I’ve always felt things a little deeper. I’d walk into a room and immediately feel the energy of the space.

If someone was even slightly off, I’d pick up on it.

If someone I loved was struggling, it was almost like I couldn’t focus on anything else until they were okay.

Sound familiar?

In this episode, I am joined by one of my soul sisters, Krista Williams from Almost 30 Podcast, for an honest and healing conversation on what it really means to be an empath—and how to protect your energy while still being a caring, open-hearted human.
