Episode Synopsis
Episode Description:If you’ve ever walked into a room and instantly felt off—like you just absorbed someone else’s anxiety without a word spoken—this one’s for you.In this episode, Krista Jones dives deep into the world of empaths with her co-hosts, Chauntel Shaffer and Tom Morel.. We’re not talking about the Instagram quotes kind of empath—we’re talking about the real experience of carrying other people’s emotions, the neuroscience behind your sensitivity, and how this beautiful gift can become an emotional liability without boundaries.From mirror neurons to why you cry at commercials and need alone time after parties, this episode is a love letter—and a reality check—for the ones who feel it all. You'll walk away with clarity, validation, and practical tools to protect your peace without shutting down your heart.Because being an empath doesn’t mean being everyone’s emotional mop. It means learning how to feel without fixing, care without carrying, and love without losing yourself. What You’ll Learn: What actually makes someone an empath (hint: it’s more than just being “sensitive”) The science behind why empaths feel more deeply—including brain structure and nervous system function The quiet superpowers of the empath: intuition, compassion, creativity—and how to use them without burning out How chronic emotional absorption can lead to overwhelm, anxiety, and compassion fatigue The difference between empathy and enmeshment (because yes, there’s a big one) How to create emotional boundaries and “energy hygiene” habits that actually stick Scripts and mindset shifts to help you stop taking on what was never yours
