Empath's Alchemy

So uhh howza bout when I have nothing to fix...or tend to...nothin' to really DO except just enjoy life and succeed so...I decide to just immobilize myself by piling on the things I wanna accomplish throughout my life in a one year span...  How do we retire the persona of exhaustion and live with ease?

So many of us learned early on as children that we are here to assist others with their lives and their own happiness. Our sensitivities make us incredibly good at it too...but what happens when we realize we never stop living for others? Thank you for listening!!

The way to become strong as an Empath too often focuses on our survival, playing defense, and pointing out what we're up against, but how are we supposed to grow in love, joy, and celebration when we're living behind a bubble in fear?  Yeah. Exactly. Please check out Abby's beautiful work on IG @abbylou_rd Submit your topic suggestions and support the show at rebeccagarifo.com xoxo! -Rebecca

How hard is it to see someone we love in pain? We wanna swoop in and pull them out of toxic situations, tell them exactly what we see happening and where to fix it... but sometimes that doesn't really help them heal. This is a BIG one yall... and I'm sure there'll be more to come on this topic!

Sometimes we have to celebrate ourselves just for ourselves. Sometimes relationships come in waves as we heal in waves. Our spirits become more and more at home in themselves, and then we naturally become more and more able to receive and experience true connection and abundant love.

I'm lettin' her rip this episode yall. I know I've needed to learn to not worry about other people so much that I hold onto their secrets for them, but I didn't know it'd be exactly like this. Healing out loud ain't no joke. Thank you for listening and for helping me do the things I've been afraid to for too long. rebeccagarifo.com All my love and joy- Rebecca

"...Mostly I'm tired of people bein' ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day." - John Coffey, The Green Mile As Empaths, sometimes we're gonna feel the pain of the world at almost indescribable volumes, but a day at a time, we can learn not to fear what we feel, but to see it as a reminder of how important it is to fight for joy and love with everything...

How many of us feel off and ungrounded after ending relationships? It can take time to get our sea legs back. Side note- the roots through the feet stuff has never worked too good for me as my soul feels no need for linear direction, but the need to call myself back to myself, always knowing my heart is the truth North.

What came first, the abuse or the Empath? Thank you Laura for this weeks topic!! This one's big for a LOT of us without a doubt!!

Do you experience De Ja Vu often? And how bout learnin' to love ourselves just a smidge more than the people around us? That's a tough one... Thank you for making this podcast more than I could have imagined in less than ONE YEAR YALL! I just...

How long does healing take exactly? Ehh I think it's just kinda life thing honestly. So instead of wondering when we'll be finished with something, maybe we can just take it a day at a time. A lot can change in 24 hrs, and with a wounded mind, I think the best thing we can do is not try to rush it.   With love and joy- Rebecca

This was a good one. So yeah, where's good for us to recharge and get refreshed? I think it depends on each of us specifically, and asking ourselves what it is we're needing at this very moment. Is it connecting to regain our faith in humanity? Or maybe we wanna unplug completely. Sometimes being surrounded by people seeking healing can be even more draining on us, so it's important to listen to e...

What about when we feel like we lost our connection to our Spirit Guides? Where the hell'd they go, or why can't we hear em anymore? Our spiritual pit crew evolves right alongside our everyday life. It might just be time to get acquainted with your new circle!   With love and joy -Rebecca

Some of us just ain't made for group work, and that's ok! We love people, and we love to do our own thing. I think as Empaths, sometimes its easy to forget that we're usually tuned in to the masses 24/7, so we naturally need more alone time than most. It ain't nothin' personal, we just very rarely feel alone. If ever.   With love and joy- Rebecca

How will we know if we're an Empath!? Only we ourselves know the depths of who we TRULY are, right? So learning to be compassionate and listen to ourselves with kindness, is KEY. So, this is what I've found for myself defines not only practicing empathy but being an Empath. With love and joy- Rebecca 

Please go listen to Stuff You Should Know- How Empathy Works- April 06 2017 There is much to learn from this! We are not meant to and will not all feel the world the same, and we will not always understand exactly how others live in it. Relationships, stories, and listening to other sides of things is never ending... and it reminds me how different we truly interpret life sometimes! Let's discuss!...
