3 Signs that you might be a perfectionist.

Are you a perfectionist?

Maybe you consider yourself a high-achiever, a results-driven person, and someone who knows how to hold it all together perfectly.

But doesn’t this get stressful for you?

Needing to keep up appearances or draining acts to portray a certain image to others?

Many empaths, highly-sensitive people (HSPs), women, and of course...empath women and sensitive women struggle with perfectionism on a daily basis.

What was once seen as an admirable character trait to have has now turned into a draining act that many of us can’t keep up anymore.

If you’ve ever struggled with perfectionism, you know how tough it can feel to be hyper-critical of ourselves, behavior, appearance, and actions.

If you’ve ever wondered if you might be a perfectionist, stay tuned for this episode where I will share 3 signs that might make you a perfectionist.

If you’re an empath who is struggling with self-limiting beliefs + behavior like this, or you’re having trouble with things like setting healthy boundaries or managing the energetic drain and overwhelm that so often comes with being an empath, then…

Then I’d love to invite you to join The Empath Empowerment Coaching Program!

3 benefits of spending more alone time with yourself.

Alone time is necessary for us to recharge.

This is especially true for empaths, introverts, and highly-sensitive people (HSPs).

Having a nervous system that is highly attuned and sensitive to the emotions and energy of the people around them isn’t always a walk in the park.

When we don’t get enough alone time, we can find ourselves feeling frazzled, exhausted, overwhelmed, and about ready to throw in the towel.

Side note: If you’re an extrovert or you’re not an empath or sensitive, I still invite you to stick around because we as humans need alone time in general.

Alone time is critical for our individuality, personal sovereignty, and mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

We don’t always think about the impact that spending time with others all of the time does to us and our nervous systems.

So join me on this episode, where I’ll share 3 benefits of spending alone time and how it improves your relationship with yourself.

Getting alone time is essential for the empath who is tired of feeling energetically depleted and overwhelmed with the busy lives that we live.

If you’re an empath who is looking for guidance on managing energetic overwhelm, releasing limiting beliefs, and setting healthy boundaries in your relationships…

Why your trust issues are holding you back in your relationships.

Welcome back to the show!

Last time, we went over 4 signs that you might have trust issues.

Today we’re going to talk about why your trust issues are holding you back in your relationships.

If you’ve struggled with trust issues before and you’re wondering how it’s truly impacting the health of your relationships, then stick around for this episode.

And hey! You might be someone who has struggled with trust issues before. Or maybe you’ve been on the receiving end of a relationship with someone with trust issues.

Either way, it’s not easy.

But the good news is, if you do want to rebuild trust within yourself and your relationships...it is possible.

But what most people miss is that we have to start by working on ourselves, first.

I know this sounds counterintuitive, but if you’re struggling with a fear of intimacy, a lack of trusting others, insecurity, and deeply rooted personal issues (ex. fear of abandonment), it’s vital to start working on yourself first.

What does this look like?

Maybe you take the multidisciplinary approach and work with a therapist to address the mental health aspect of things.

And maybe you work with a life coach on the personal development and self-awareness/self-discovery piece.

When you begin to learn, understand, and accept yourself for who you truly are (quirks and all) and what you truly need, you begin to equip yourself with the tools to help others both understand and respect you and your needs as well.

If you’re an empath who is looking to understand your Empath nature and needs, learn more about your personality type, set healthy boundaries in your relationships, manage energetic and emotional overwhelm, and work through self-limiting beliefs…

Then I’d love to invite you to join The Empath Empowerment Coaching Program!

4 Signs that you might have trust issues.

Trust is something that most of us desire within our relationships.

But it’s something that’s not always present within the relationships that we have in today’s world.

Whether that’s with a romantic partner, loved one, co-worker, or friend...many of us determine which relationships we want to engage in, based on who we feel we can trust.

But if you’ve been hurt in the past, it can be  really tough to trust others.

Especially, if you’re an Empath.

Having the specific challenges that come with being an empath (such as, absorbing the energy and emotions of those around us, having a fear of conflict, finding it hard to trust others when your intuition tells you otherwise), all makes it that much harder to trust people.

As empaths and sensitives, we can sense what can’t be seen with the eyes. We typically get a good read on whether we can trust a person. But sometimes the water gets muddy and it’s hard to determine who we can and cannot trust.

Or maybe we’ve struggled with having people cross our boundaries in the past, so we’ve learned to put our walls up and we’re hesitant to let people in.

But when our guard is up, sometimes we don’t let the good things and the right people in. We miss out on opportunities that are actually empowering, soul-nourishing, and a good match for us.

If you’ve ever dubbed yourself as the, “I don’t trust people” person, I want you to know that trust can be developed and it’s necessary to build healthy, intimate, well-connected relationships.

Stick around for this podcast episode, where I’ll share 4 Common signs of trust issues.

If you’re feeling like you struggle with trust issues and you’re curious on how it’s holding you back in your relationships, look out for the next episode, where I’ll share some reasons why your trust issues are holding you back in your relationships.

If you’re an empath who is looking to understand your Empath nature and needs, set healthy boundaries in your relationships, manage energetic and emotional overwhelm, and work through self-limiting beliefs…

7 Signs that you might be a people pleaser.

Is being a people pleaser all that bad?

I mean, isn’t it just being nice and agreeable?

Doesn’t it just allow you to get along with most everyone around you?

Or maybe it makes us feel generally liked?

And it probably makes you feel like you can avoid conflict as much as possible? Right?

Wrong.

Tough love coming at ya, my friend. Being a people pleaser is not what it seems.

According to heathline.com, “being a people pleaser goes beyond simple kindness and it involves editing or altering words or behaviors for the sake of another person’s feelings or reactions.”

The danger with people-pleasing is that you have to sacrifice parts of yourself to please or meet the needs of others.

When you people-please over a long period of time, it leads to burnout, exhaustion, resentment, and it really isn’t sustainable at all.

I mean, how long can we really keep this gig up?

How much longer are you going to give up your energy and time to please others?

How much longer are you going to betray yourself in order for others to “like you?”

If you’ve ever wondered if you might be a people pleaser, you won’t want to miss this podcast episode.

Stay-tuned for this episode where I’ll share 7 signs that you might be a people pleaser.

If you’re ready to start making the inner changes necessary to stop people-pleasing and you’re an empath who is looking to set healthy boundaries in your relationships, manage energetic and emotional overwhelm, and work through self-limiting beliefs…

7 signs that you might be in a codependent relationship.

Empaths, empathy, and codependency. Have you ever wondered why these words always seem to come up in the same conversation?

Let’s make more sense of this by defining these terms first:

Empathy is the ability to share and understand the feelings of another

An empath is someone with a nervous system who is highly-attuned to the emotions and energy of others. This is someone who can literally feel and take on the emotions and energy of others (ex. I feel for you vs. I feel what you’re feeling).

Codependency is any relationship in which two people become so invested in each other that they can’t function independently anymore. Your mood, happiness, and identity are defined by the other person.

As children, empaths and HSPs tend to tune in to their parents' energy and try to adjust their own to suit their caregivers needs.

We think that our parents/caregivers happiness and wellness depends on how well we’re behaving, or how much we please them, so we start to chameleon into whatever we think will make them happy.

We end up believing that we’re responsible for their happiness and wellbeing.

So as we grow up, we tend to bring this into our adult relationships. And we wonder why we end up in codependent relationships as empaths (it all starts with things that we learned in our childhood)?

This could be things like having poor boundaries and being natural nurturers and being prone to over-giving.

We tend to absorb the energy and emotions of others around us (this makes sense why it would feel like our mood, happiness are defined by other people).

We just want to help others, but sometimes we can end up trying to “fix” everything when it’s not our job or journey to, it’s the other person’s job to do their own individual work.

We don’t want to see other people (esp. Loved ones) in pain and we have a natural instinct to want to shoulder that pain for others.

But we have to realize that we can’t take away the pain from others. It’s not our responsibility as much as it seems and feels like it is.

If you’ve ever questioned if you might be in a codependent relationship, stay tuned for this episode because I’m going to share the 7 signs that you might be in a codependent relationship.

If you’re an empath who is ready to go all in right now with overcoming energetic overwhelm, releasing limiting beliefs, and setting healthy boundaries in your relationships, then I’d love to invite you to enroll in The Empath Empowerment Coaching Program!

The 4 attachment styles and how they impact our ability to form secure relationships.

Many of us want and need different things in our relationships.

Some of us need a lot of space and independence.

And then some of us struggle with (I’m gonna say it straight up) clinginess and wanting to be with our partners all of the time.

There’s science behind this. It’s called attachment styles.

Attachment style refers to the way that we relate to others, behave, and respond emotionally in our relationships.

They are formed in our childhood and are based in response to the relationships we had with our earliest caregivers.

So why is this important for empaths and highly-sensitives to keep in mind when wanting to improve their relationships?

Well, we have a nervous system that is highly-attuned to the emotions and energy of others around us.

So when our partner is behaving in a way that we can’t understand and we start to feel emotionally overwhelmed, keeping the attachment styles in mind can help you to hold space, have deeper compassion for, and see a different perspective that your partner may be experiencing.

This information will help you understand your partner and their behavior better.

Because, as I always like to say...we are all wired very differently.

So if you’ve been trying to understand your partner and their behavior on a deeper level, stay tuned for this episode on the 4 attachment styles.

Listen in to learn which style you and your partner have.

If you’re an empath who is looking to build better boundaries in your relationships and to do the mindset work in order to develop a better sense of self-esteem, then I’d love to invite you to join The Empath Empowerment Coaching Program!

This is my signature, 8-week, 1:1 coaching program for empaths who are interested in setting better boundaries in their relationships, managing their energetic overwhelm, and tackling their self-limiting beliefs.

How to build more understanding and respect in your relationships: Advice from a marriage + relationships counselor.

Are you in a relationship or partnership with someone? Have you ever been curious about what’s motivating them at an unconscious level? Have you ever wondered how they were wired internally?

One of my most recent podcast guests, Daniel Anear, said, “As we go through changes it can bring up the end of a relationship or it can be a catalyst to revitalize your relationships.”

We all have our own wounding and we have different attachment styles.

In our childhood, we learn how to interact with people and we each bring our own beliefs, patterning, and conditioning into our relationships when we’re adults.

It’s not always easy, but these things can be worked through with understanding, compassion, and respect for each other's unique differences and needs.

Join us in this insightful podcast interview with Daniel Anear, who is a relationship and marriage counselor, a father and husband, transformation coach, INFJ, and an Enneagram 1. This episode is all about relationships and how you can make them go more successfully.

We talk all about personality types (the Enneagram and Myers-Briggs) and how to use them as a tool in your relationships. We also cover how to create a mutually-satisfying relationship and go over the signs that a relationship might be ending or over.

Can’t wait to hear what you think of the episode!
