Everybody and their mom says they’re an empath… but nobody teaches you what to do once you’ve absorbed everyone else’s energy and it’s wrecking your whole day. 😅
In this episode, Darcy and Tracy break down the difference between having empathy and being energetically responsive (aka: you care… and then you carry it). We talk nervous system overload, why “just meditate” can feel like nails on a chalkboard, and how grounding can look like driving, pacing, cleaning, or listening to a true crime podcast instead of sitting cross-legged trying to silence your brain.
We also get into:
“You can care without carrying” (and how to actually do that)
Energy leaks in real life (yes, even the remote control story 💀)
Why January can feel like a recovery month
Movement as meditation + finding your personal “zone spot”
Efficiency conditioning (time = money) and how it quietly drains your energy
The current energetic shift vibes: fog lifting, integration over impulsive action, and building a foundation for what’s next
If you’ve been feeling off, exhausted, or like you can’t power down without shutting down completely… this one’s for you.
