Hello and welcome to Enlightened Empaths, everybody.

Today Denise and I are going to be talking about Welcome to Enlightened Empaths, everybody.

Today, Denise and I are going to be talking about this article

I read a couple of weeks ago, and I could not stop thinking about it.

And so I sent it to Denise, and I said,

I think we should do a show on this because I feel it's something that we empaths might struggle with.

And the article was asking the question, are you too independent? And yes, I am the poster child

for this article. I know, I think I might be too and I think many of our listeners will be as well. So we're going to talk about what it means to be too independent and I'm going to share the quiz that this article had included as well so that you can decide through this test if you too are hyper independent.

So I think independence is a wonderful trait and I think it's something that many Empaths have kind of had to cultivate.

It can bring us inner strength and power when we realize yes we can do it all on our own and being independent means you don't need

anyone so there's no chance of being let down or hurt or feeling obligated to others.

Independence is really freeing in many ways

because it shows the world that you've got this.

You are an island unto yourself and that's okay.

But is it?

So these new studies that some psychologists are doing on hyper-independence

are now showing that when we rely only on ourselves, it can lead the feelings of sadness,

burnout, and feeling overwhelmed.

What do you think about that?
