0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Enlightened Empaths, your community for the spiritually awakened,
0:08.0	where we discuss, explore, and connect with fellow empaths, healers, intuitives, and seekers.
0:18.0	Hello, Empaths, we're so excited to have you join us this week. We are going to be talking about
0:25.2	what it means to raise a highly sensitive child. And joining us once again on the show, we're so
0:31.9	honored to have her back is Dr. Judith Orloff. And I don't think you need an introduction, but just in case I'm going to give you a
0:39.1	proper one. Judith Orloff is the New York Times bestselling author of Second Site, The Genius of Empathy,

1:59.7	understand her. She was called a crybaby.
2:02.6	She was ashamed.
2:03.7	She thought she didn't belong in the world like many of us can relate to.
2:08.3	And her journey to become empowered as an empath.
2:12.4	And how connecting to others who are like-minded, even finding one person, like the three of us on this interview,
