Throughout life, I've noticed that whenever I feel misunderstood, or ignored, or like I'm getting reprimanded for being myself, I start to 'pull back' and I start to diminish my light. Being an introvert and a highly sensitive person and an empath, I'm automatically a "sponge" to the energies of others around me and I have to remember to do the following so that I don't start going down a negative spiral: 1. To catch it 2. Remember that "what they think of me is none of my business" ...t...

I'm Speaking...with Elizabeth West Ep 32 My Instincts are Just That (They're Mine)Hello...thanks for listening! This is similar to what I spoke about in my last podcast episode Ep 31 The Heart Knows Before the Mind Does. It's interesting how we are taught and "groomed" (especially women) to look 'outward' for advice and to ask, ask, ask. And to not ever look inward and to follow our instincts and what our intuition is telling us. I'm not speaking about anything that's harming someone else...I have too much empathy for that and I would never preach that. This is for the sole reason of us following our...

Whenever I don't have an episode within a couple of weeks this is usually why...it's always due to "life".

I'm Speaking...with Elizabeth West Ep 29 Introverted Doesn't = ShyHello...thanks for listening! July 19 was my 1 year podcast-versary! Woohoo! I thought I was an extrovert my whole life because growing up it seemed that everyone equates being an introvert = shyness. I've always been outgoing and have had friends throughout life, so I 'assumed' I was an extrovert! Come to find out that we're all both (extroverted AND introverted) number one, and that the only difference between an extrovert and an introvert is in how we get our energy, I couldn't believe it! "That's the only difference!" And nothing against being shy...

He was "textbook" and his "teaching style" consisted of us reading one of our textbooks (for example) for Geography, answering the questions at the end of the chapter (in the book) and that was it. We were not to ask any questions in addition. He specifically said "no questions". I lost my voice from the age of 10 - 15 (from elementary school all the way...
