Hey everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm excited for today. We're going to talk about some good

stuff. I've got a little tea over here. We're going to sit back, have a quick conversation.

You know, over the years, I'm 45 and I swear I'm just now coming to the realizations. I mean,

I think I've always like had them in the back of my mind that I have had my hand

in pretty much everyone's jar from a very, very young age, whether it's parents, siblings,

friends, partners. I mean, the kids are like one thing because they actually do need me at this point.

But, you know, I think we just take on way too much.

And I want to have a conversation about this because I realized this in the last week that not only am I, I've known that I'm an empath for years and years and years.

That's not new information.

I know that I'm highly sensitive.

So I know that I can take on energy.

And I think when you're very sensitive and you can take on energy,

you tend to be a fixer because you want the energy to be good.

So everything's calm and everyone's, you know, at peace.

Everyone's happy, you know, all the things.

So then you're chill.

And I think, unfortunately, that's also a product of just childhood trauma that you've gone

through.

So if you can attest with being the fixer, being the highly sensitive one, being the black sheep,

being the empath, all of that, possibly even the codependent or a codependent, then, you know,

you're going to resonate with this because I want us to be honest with ourselves on how much

we're actually taking on and learning how to start choosing ourselves over everyone
