    S01E09 - Empathy in Personal and Professional Relationships

    Send us Fan Mail How does being an empath influence the way we connect with others, both personally and professionally? And how does our own healing change the way we show up in those relationships? In this deeply personal episode of The Empowered Empath®, Kerith shares her journey through challenging relationships, self-discovery, and healing, reflecting on how those experiences shaped her understanding of love, self-worth, communication, and boundaries. She also explores how her personal healing transformed her professional life, allowing her to approach workplace relationships, conflict, and leadership with greater presence, curiosity, compassion, and intuition. Through honest reflections and lessons learned over the years, this episode explores the difference between feeling deeply and carrying the emotions of others, the importance of trusting yourself, and why being an empowered empath doesn't mean sacrificing your own peace. Because healing doesn't make us empaths. It teaches us how to become empowered ones. Content Advisory: This episode includes references to abusive relationships and the sexual abuse of a minor. No graphic details are discussed. Until next time, protect your peace, honor your light, and walk this world empowered.

    S01E08 - Empathy, Explained: Untangling the Labels We Use.

    Send us Fan Mail Empath. Highly Sensitive Person. Toxic empathy. Avoidant. Narcissist. Energy vampire. These words have become part of our everyday language, but what do they actually mean—and where do they overlap? In this episode of The Empowered Empath™, Kerith untangles some of the terms we hear so often in conversations about empathy, relationships, and healing. She explores the differences between empathy, being an empath, and being a Highly Sensitive Person, along with what can happen when empathy exists without healthy boundaries. Through personal stories from her own healing journey, Kerith also explores codependency, avoidant attachment, narcissistic patterns, energy vampires, and the relationship dynamics that can develop when we lose sight of our own needs while caring for everyone else. This isn't about putting labels on ourselves or the people in our lives. It's about recognizing patterns, becoming curious about our experiences, and understanding ourselves a little more deeply. Because being an empath isn't the problem. Being highly sensitive isn't the problem. And your compassion isn't the problem. The problem comes when compassion no longer includes yourself.  Until next time, protect your peace, honor your light and walk this world empowered.

    S01E07 - Reiki, Chakras & The Empath - Understanding Your Energy

    Send us Fan Mail Reiki, Chakras & the Empath: Understanding Your Energy As empaths, we spend a lot of time noticing everyone else's energy—but how often do we stop long enough to notice our own? In this episode of The Empowered Empath™, Kerith shares a deeply personal look at Reiki, energy work, and the seven-chakra system through the lens of her own healing journey and her experience as a Reiki practitioner. We'll explore what Reiki is, what a Reiki session can look like, and the role energy work has played in Kerith's life. Then we'll move through the seven primary chakras from Root to Crown exploring the themes each represents and how they may show up in our lives as empaths. But this isn't about memorizing colors, crystals, frequencies, or deciding which of your chakras might be “blocked.” It's about becoming curious. About learning to recognize what grounding, joy, personal power, love, authentic expression, intuition, and spiritual connection feel like for you.  You don't have to believe everything Kerith believes or experience energy the way she does. Take what resonates, explore what makes you curious, and leave what doesn't feel right for you.  And when the episode is over, Kerith leaves you with one simple question: What is my energy trying to tell me?  If this episode resonated with you, please follow The Empowered Empath™, leave a review, and share it with someone who may need this message today. 🌿 Discover your empath type with my free Empath Quiz:  https://www.holistichealingwithkerith.com/empath-quiz 🌿 Explore coaching, Reiki, guided meditations, and more:  https://www.holistichealingwithkerith.com Until next time...

    S01E06 Why Do I Feel Everything So Deeply - The Science Behind Empathy

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt like something was off even though no one said a word?  Or left a conversation, crowded space, or even a simple day of running errands feeling completely emotionally drained? There may be more happening beneath the surface than you realize.   In this episode of The Empowered Empath™, we're chatting about why we feel everything so deeply and exploring some of the science behind empathy.  I share a personal experience that became one of my biggest "aha" moments as an empath and helped me begin to understand the connection between what I was feeling emotionally and what was happening within my body. We'll explore mirror neurons, the nervous system, our body's response to emotionally charged environments, and how science and spirituality may not be as separate as we sometimes think. Most importantly, we'll talk about learning to recognize the difference between what belongs to us and what we may be picking up from someone else. Because the goal isn't to stop feeling. It's to understand what we're feeling.   And sometimes, one of the most powerful questions we can ask ourselves is: Is this mine? In this episode: Why certain environments can leave us feeling emotionally drainedHow our brain and nervous system respond to the emotions around usThe role of mirror neurons in human connectionWhere science and spirituality can meetHow to begin distinguishing your emotions from someone else'sA simple practice for creating awareness without shutting down your sensitivityOur sensitivity isn't something we have to fight.  The more we understand ourselves, the more empowered we become in deciding what we carry and what we lovingly release.

    S01E05 - Burnout Isn't Failure, It's a Message

    Send us Fan Mail What if burnout isn't the end of your story...but the beginning of your awakening? In this deeply personal episode of The Empowered Empath™, I share the story I never expected to tell, the journey through corporate burnout that ultimately changed the course of my life. For over 30 years, I built a successful corporate career.  From the outside, everything looked like I was moving up.  But behind the promotions, increasing responsibility, and constant pressure, I was slowly losing myself. What began as exhaustion became anxiety. What became anxiety turned into survival. And eventually, my body stepped in when I could no longer hear what my intuition had been trying to tell me all along. In this episode, I share: Why burnout is more than simply being overworked.How chronic stress disconnects us from ourselves.The warning signs I ignored for far too long.The spiritual meaning I found after breaking my sacrum during one of the most difficult seasons of my life.How leaving a career without another job lined up became one of the most aligned decisions I've ever made.If you've been questioning your career, feeling emotionally exhausted, or wondering why nothing seems to restore your energy, I hope this conversation reminds you of one simple truth: Burnout is not failure.  It's information. Sometimes our soul whispers. Sometimes it nudges. And sometimes it gets loud enough that we can longer ignore it.

    Understanding Empathy

    Send us Fan Mail Empathy is so much more than simply "being nice' or "caring too much." In this episode of The Empowered Empath, we're breaking down what empathy really is the powerful capacity to understand, feel, and respond to the emotions, thoughts, and experiences of another person.  It's what allows us to connect deeply, hold space for others, and lead with compassion instead of judgment even when life gets heavy. But here's the thing not everyone experiences empathy the same way. That's where being an empath comes in. In Episode 2, I'm sharing what it means to have heightened empathy, why it can feel overwhelming at times, and how to recognize the difference between being empathetic and being an empath who absorbs everything around them. We'll also explore signs that may help you determine if you're an empath including what it feels like to pick up on other people's emotions, energy, and stress without a single word being spoken. So, join me as we talk about empathy, empaths, and the beginning of learning how to navigate the world with your gift without losing yourself in the process. Until next time protect your peace, honor your light, and walk the world empowered!
