Realized Empath Kristen Schwartz, MA, CTRC

Ever feel like the weight of the world's emotions rests on your shoulders? You're not alone. 

On the Realized Empath Podcast, I, Kristen Schwartz, peel back the layers of the empath experience, shedding light on the mixed blessing of our sensitivity and the self-perceptions that can either hinder or harness our potential. 

This chat is a deep dive into empaths' internal dialogue, looking at common statements that resonate in our community, such as the overwhelming absorption of others' emotions and the struggle to thrive in a world that can seem too harsh for our sensitive souls. 

This episode isn't just about empath struggles; it's a roadmap for transforming vulnerability into empowerment. We discuss strategies for expressing our emotional depth creatively to prevent burnout and differentiate between our feelings and those we pick up from those around us. 

Find solace in the truth that while sensitivity can isolate, it can also be the bridge to building a community that 'gets' us. If you've ever been told you're too sensitive or felt the urge to fix everything for everyone, this conversation is your beacon, guiding you to navigate life with confidence and self-acceptance. 

There are no guests, just us, as we journey toward embracing our empathic gifts to shape a more compassionate world for ourselves and others.

Ever felt like you're walking on empath eggshells, trying to live up to the impossible standards society has painted for you? I'm Kristen Schwartz, and this episode smashes through the myths that box empaths into a one-dimensional frame. 

We're talking real talk about the complexities of being an empath—the pressure to be a perpetual peacekeeper, the expectation to read emotions flawlessly, and the notion that we're all zen, all the time. 

But let's face it, we're human, which means a whirlwind of feelings, including those days when anger makes an unexpected guest appear, or we can't muster up the empathy we're famous for.

Join me as we navigate the often misunderstood journey of empaths, acknowledging that our sensitivities come with misreads, missteps, and the occasional loss of cool. 

With honesty and a touch of humor, we uncover the importance of self-care and setting boundaries, how to handle the desire to be liked by everyone, and why it's okay not to have all the answers. 

This conversation is an invitation to embrace your empathic self in all its imperfect glory, cherish the connections that feed your soul, and have a hearty laugh at the stereotypes we're ready to leave behind. No guests, just us, and a whole lot of empathy unpacked.

Embarking on an empath's journey through the lens of parenthood can feel like navigating a labyrinth of heightened emotions, but it's a path I've walked and am eager to share. After a transformational retreat with kindred spirits in Costa Rica, my heart and mind are brimming with insights on empathic parenting that I can't wait to impart. The beauty of our shared experiences, the wisdom gleaned from sloth encounters, and the workshops that bonded us all left an indelible mark on my approach to raising emotionally intelligent children.

The tapestry of our lives as empathic parents is woven with threads of joy and challenges, and it's this rich fabric that we unravel in our latest podcast session. You'll find solace in our stories as we discuss the delicate balance between validating our children's emotions and maintaining our boundaries without succumbing to the guilt or exhaustion that often accompanies our role. 

With every story shared and strategy revealed, we'll strengthen the commitment to nurturing a family environment where every member feels heard and valued. Join me, Kristen Schwartz, as we traverse this exceptional journey, reminding you that you're part of a community that understands the profound depth of your parental voyage.
