Healing from Burnout as an Ambitious Empath
Hello, friends, and thank you for tuning in to another episode of the Prosperous Empath podcast. Today, I’m sharing another solo episode, and we’re going to talk about a topic that is deeply personal to me. It was a huge part of my earlier career and something I struggled with a lot at the beginning of entrepreneurship, and it’s a topic that I notice across the board we ambitious empaths tend to struggle with – the experience of being burned out. I’m recording today’s episode, at the beginning of April, and last month in March marked three years since the beginning of the pandemic. If you think about the fear, the economic struggles, the emotional struggles, and the challenges in our family life and work-life balance that the pandemic created, I think it makes sense that so many people are feeling burnt out right now. Then you combine all of that with the fears of an impending recession, and the great resignation, and all of the other themes that we’ve been noticing in our workforce, it makes a lot of sense. So in today’s episode, I want to provide a little bit more of a historical framing for why you or someone you know may be experiencing burnout right now and what can you do about it. You’ll leave this episode feeling equipped with more choices and options to take care of yourself in the face of burnout.

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.
