Description

Empathy is a beautiful gift—the ability to deeply feel, understand, and connect with others. But when left unchecked, it will turn into something else entirely: an emotional burden, a trap, even a silent form of self-destruction.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the fine line between using empathy as a superpower versus letting it turn you into an emotional pack mule. If you constantly feel drained, overwhelmed, or responsible for everyone else’s emotions, this episode will shake you awake.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How empathy really works (and why most people misunderstand it)
• The #1 mistake empaths make that leads to burnout
• Why absorbing other people’s emotions doesn’t actually help them
• How to use empathy as a tool instead of letting it control you
• The difference between healthy empathy and becoming a doormat
• Why guilt is a liar—and how to stop falling for it
• How to set boundaries without feeling like a terrible person

If you’ve ever felt emotionally exhausted from carrying other people’s feelings, this episode will give you the perspective shift you need to start using your empathy for good—without losing yourself in the process.
