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.

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.

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!

One of the most common relationship problems is a lack of intimacy.

 

Now, intimacy in relationships isn’t only about sex.

 

It goes beyond just the physical.

 

It’s about the feeling of closeness and connection on a mental, emotional, spiritual level as well.

 

And when you feel like your partner truly doesn’t get you on a deeper level, intimacy can be tough.

 

Maybe they just don’t get the way that you’re wired on the inside. Maybe they don’t have a clue about the inner workings of your soul.

 

And it feels soul-sucking to feel misunderstood and not seen in your relationship with the person that’s supposed to be one of the closest people to you.

 

Well, what if I told you that there was a way to bring back the intimacy in your romantic partnerships on a mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical level?

 

Stay-tuned for this juicy podcast episode on the 4 ways that you can use personality types to build more intimacy in your romantic relationships.

When something bad happens or when someone says something that we don’t like, we all have the ability to take things personally.

 

We get triggered. We get upset. And before you know it, we’re energetically thrown off.

 

And then we say things like, “What the heck?” “Why’d that person have to treat me that way?” or “What the heck is their problem?”

 

So, we grab our phones, put on our “why me” caps and vent to our friends, partners, or family members, and before you know it, one of them tells you:

 

“Aww, don’t worry about it”

 

or

 

“It’ll be fine, just forget about it”

 

or

 

“Let it go.”

 

Or the, “I’m sure they didn’t mean to say it like that.”

 

And just like that, we’re re-triggered all over again. Order up! You’ve just gotten another serving of taking shit personally.

 

People typically say these statements to make us feel better, but it only makes us feel way worse. And they’re missing the point.

 

But have you ever wondered why we take things so personally?

 

Let’s talk about the psychology behind this.

 

Join me for this insightful podcast episode where I share 5 reasons why we take things so personally.

 

Wondering what you can do to practice the art of not taking things so personally?

 

Be kinder to yourself, have compassion for yourself as a whole, and give yourself grace to make mistakes (and learn from trial and error).

 

One way to develop more self-connection and self-compassion is to get to know yourself better on a deeper level. On a level of inner wiring.

 

If you’re an empath who is interested in learning about your empath nature and your personality type, I’d love to invite you to join me in my Empath Empowerment Coaching Program.

Have you ever had to let go of a friendship or relationship?

 

We all outgrow friendships, partners, and loved ones throughout our life.

 

But it can be hard not to take it personally. And honestly, it can feel heart-wrenching, confusing, and frustrating.

 

Maybe you’ve known these people since elementary, middle, or high school. Or maybe you’ve been tight with this person since your college days. Or shoot, maybe you’ve been in a romantic relationship with them for a while.

 

No matter what the situation looks like for you, it can be incredibly painful and heartbreaking to cut off a friend, family member, or loved one.

 

And it can be excruciating when you’re on the receiving end of a friendship or relationship break up as well.

 

But the good news is, you’re not alone.

 

Outgrowing our friends, family, and loved ones is something that naturally happens often as we grow up and age throughout life.

 

Our life paths change, our personal values become more solidified, and we start to recognize our worth and what we know that we deserve in our relationships.

 

Which can be as simple as being loved, respected, and understood.

 

Mainstream media and society has taught us that we’re “supposed to” have BFFs (best friends forever), or that we have to stay in romantic relationships til death due us part, and stick it through with toxic family relationships in the name of loyalty and commitment.

 

This narrative is not helpful. Life is dynamic and ever changing, and we’re setting ourselves up for disappointment when we expect a person to act or behave a certain way, for a lifetime.

 

In the online space, we hear a lot of the stereotypical “don’t be afraid to cut them off” statements when it comes to toxic relationships.

 

But what about the more nuanced side of letting go of relationships?

 

I mean, you can also be incompatible without it being a “toxic relationship.” And it can still be time for you to move on.

 

People can only meet you at the level in which they’ve met themselves.

 

Stay-tuned for this podcast episode on the topic of outgrowing relationships, normalizing the emotional process of letting go, and seeing the upside in all of it.

 

If setting boundaries or making mindset shifts is something that you’ve struggled with during challenging situations like these, I’d love to help!

 

These are all things that I cover more deeply in my Empath Empowerment Coaching Program, my private 1:1 coaching program to help empower empaths through learning about and harnessing their gift of deep feeling and sensitivity.

We live in a society where effort, ambition, drive, and constant “doing” is rewarded.

 

And when we do all of the things to keep up with the busy world, we end up exhausted, overwhelmed, depleted, and burnt out.

 

As humans in general, we weren’t meant to operate at machine-like hyperspeed. We weren’t meant to live our lives on overdrive.

 

And if you’re an empath, highly-sensitive person, introvert this probably hits harder on your nervous system.

 

So, what do we do to manage our well being and energy reserves in a seemingly chaotic and disruptive world?

 

Self-care.

 

Ok. Before you start rolling your eyes at me thinking this is another blanket call to action on self-care, give me just a little more of your time to offer you a different perspective on self-care and not only it’s benefits, but it’s necessity in your life.

 

Still skeptical? Let’s dive even deeper.

 

Join me for this episode on self-care, where I clear up 3 common self-care myths, share the benefits of having a self-care practice, and give you actionable self-care tips and ideas to help you get started on your self-care journey today.
