Hello and welcome to enlightened empaths, your community for the spiritually awakened

awaken, where we discuss, explore, and connect with fellow empaths, healers, intuitives, and seekers.

Hello, Empaths, we hope your week is off to a beautiful, happy, springy start.

Denise and I were talking, we've gotten so many emails throughout the years, but especially in recent months, from teachers and nurses and caregivers who are just feeling overwhelmed

and energetically, emotionally, and physically depleted. And so we thought we would devote

today's episode to talking about ways that you can recognize if you really are in that

burnout mode and how those particular careers

where we're taking care of others and putting others' needs first can really be especially draining

for anyone, but in particular for an empath. I think it is a unique field, any field where you are taking care of other people

in terms of burnout, don't you? I do. And I think our hope is that maybe some of the things that

come through in this episode will help you determine. How do I hold space without losing myself

as an empath in any workplace, not just a

toxic workplace, because I think there are the higher stress jobs where you're responsible

for other people, you're in a caretaking role. But I think this can apply to any work

environment for an empath. Yes, I agree. So where do you want to begin? Well, I think just even

starting with the basic stuff of do you ever leave work feeling so emotionally drained, even when

nothing really major happened. So sometimes we'll leave work and say, oh my gosh, that was

ridiculous. Look how much happened. I can't believe that.

People are off the wall or whatever it might be.

But sometimes it's just that dead, tired, and feeling so, so worn down from it.

And I think as empaths, because we are so sensitive and so aware of our environment,

that there's a fine line between the two.
