I always thought something was wrong with me. Going back to four years old in preschool,

we were playing duck duck goose, and I would get so anxious that someone was going to pick me,

where all the other kids couldn't wait to be tagged. I didn't want all that pressure or attention

on me, and even as a toddler, I knew that that wasn't normal. Flash forward two years as six years old,

I got kicked out of Sunday school for asking too many questions about God and proof of his existence.

My deep questions were labeled as disruptive to the curriculum, and again, I knew something about me

wasn't like the others. My entire life I've had countless people mention how I see things differently

that I'm too sensitive, that I need to let things go. So I learned it was safer for me to isolate

when the world's energy felt too overwhelming, but this only left me feeling more alone

and like nobody understood me. And then one day about six and a half years ago, a new friend of mine

who just got a raky master certification mentioned in a conversation with me that she's both

an empath and an HSP, and I'd never heard of these terms before, despite my thousand years

of therapy and all the multiple healing modalities I've done. And in this simple conversation,

I felt completely seen and validated for all these things that I felt made me so weird

and different from the rest of the world. You know, this world's tough enough as it is,

but as an empath and a highly sensitive person, it can feel like too much to handle,

and the key is to work with these beautiful traits of yours and to manage them with love.

And today's episode will open your eyes to a new way of navigating that big, beautiful,

compassionate part of yours. If you're tired of hearing the same old basic mindset and motivational

fluff talk, you've come to the right show. Welcome to Project Me with Tiffany Carter the podcast,

where we dish on everything from managing that crazy brand of yours to manifesting abundance,
