Meet Catherine Wood
Twelve years ago I lived in a tropical paradise (the Dominican Republic) surrounded by loving, generous people and had an amazing job in sustainable tourism after finishing up my service with the U.S. Peace Corps.
But somehow none of it made me happy or as happy as I wanted to be anyway. Sure I felt the impact of my work every day, but fulfillment was elusive.
Moving back home to Washington D.C and landing a coveted job in my technical zone of genius as a Senior Economist with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics didn’t feel quite right either.
Something was missing, and I couldn’t put my finger on it…
Expanding Your Capacity to Receive in Business, Life, and Love
In this episode of the Prosperous Empath® Podcast, I’m continuing the series on challenges that empaths and HSPs often struggle with and sharing practices, mindset shifts, and tips on how to overcome them. The topic of this episode – expanding your capacity to receive – has been one of the greatest transformations for me over the last decade and it’s something I routinely explore with clients. In life, there is an inherent polarity between givers and takers, and the majority of empaths and HSPs overidentify as givers. There are amazing benefits to being a talented giver (which is why many empaths thrive as service providers), but it can also be hard to allow yourself to receive and have your needs met, whether it’s in business partnerships or romantic relationships, to name just a few. In this episode, you’ll learn why empaths often struggle with giving too much of themselves, the consequences of this tendency, and how to nurture your ability to receive more and better.
