Quotes
“I know empaths and highly sensitive people are just struggling to deal with what is happening in the world, and yes I am feeling this as well. But I wanted to share some of the strategies I have learned along the way.” (2:55)
“One of my goals in this world and one of the things I feel called to do… is helping other empaths and other highly sensitive people learn this about themselves. And not only that but learning how to thrive because these are truly gifts that we have.” (8:33)
“It becomes part of the background, the things that are piling up and we don’t notice them. But it does create space. It creates mental space, ti creates energetic space and it creates physical space for us to really just get around our environment.” (24:45)
“Sometimes as an empath and a highly sensitive person, it is easy to get overwhelmed by what is happening to you. What energy you are taking in, what you are absorbing, and sometimes that can feel very constrictive and closed off… it almost energetically causes you to shrink. So right now be mindful and respectful of yourself.” (29:33)
