Today I'm going to be discussing the topic of being an empath and what that means. I'll explore the difference between being an empath and being empathic, what a co-dependent is, and how to recover from co-dependency. I'll also discuss the negative side effects of being an empath, from how it can attract abuse from narcissists, how it causes you to take on the pain of others and how this can all lead to physical ailments.

What you will learn in this episode:

• The difference between being an empath and being empathic
• What you can do to reduce the pain you feel from others
• What co-dependency is and a way to heal from it

I'll share strategies for empaths to move from being exhausted to empowered, what you can do to separate the pain of others from your own, and how to reduce physical issues like inflammation and swelling. By sharing my personal journey, I hope to provide you with the resources and strategies you need to live your best life as an empath or co-dependent. I know that sometimes it may seem like you'll always be stuck in a downward spiral, but I'm going to make sure you have the tools to not only recover but to also live a better life going forward.
