Thrive as an Empath / Entrepreneur
33
Navigating this world as an empath can be complicated. Navigating the mainstream professional world as an empath can be complicated.
I believe that when it comes to work & professional life as a HSP or empath, in order to stay healthy and thriving, we must be doing what truly inspires us and harness our innate gifts and talents in our work. Typically in mainstream business there is not much room for empathic gifts. Therefore, as empaths, we are often driven and guided to develop our own creative endeavours or businesses.
Does this resonate with you? Are you somewhere on this journey already? Whichever stage you are at - I would love to connect with you.
I have 3 objectives:
1) to provide guidance to those that need it; to help you expand your vision, to help you identify your niche, to help you release limiting beliefs and go beyond them, to help you harness your empathic gifts, to help you keep healthy boundaries, to be empowered rather than depleted by your sensitivities
2) to hear your success stories
3) if you are interested in sharing your success story or a part of your journey as an empath, I'd love to do an interview with you to publish on my community platform
My journey
I strongly identify as a HSP, empath and intuitive and have been on a spiritual journey for the last 15 years, learning how to manage and harness my innate empathic gifts and creative talents. I didn't always know I was an empath of course. And for many years I was struggling with high anxiety. It took me a while to understand that my anxiety was linked to the fact that I felt everything so deeply and intensely. And because I could so easily tune into other people's emotional world. I was an emotional people pleaser. I would automatically help to soothe other people's emotional needs without them asking me. I would do everything I could to stop other people feeling uncomfortable or anxious around me. This meant bending myself totally out of shape. I would dim my light and hold myself back from expressing what I truly wanted to express, emotionally and creatively. So instead it all got stuffed down and suppressed inside of me. And as we all know, anything that is suppressed creates blockage. There was a volcano raging inside of me that was going nowhere except burning me up inside, causing anxiety, insomnia and lots of confusion. It took me a long while to unpick and untangle all of this and to learn to set healthy boundaries for myself, where I would no longer hold myself back or dim my light just to satisfy other's expectations or to prevent them from feeling uncomfortable. It's been a long and intense journey and I would be very happy to share the wisdom I have gained.
