In today’s solo episode, Krista drops in for part two of her deep dive on empathy, codependency, and enmeshment to break down their similarities and importance differences. Who are you, really? And why is it so hard for highly sensitive people to untangle the answer from everything around them? Your empathic gifts don’t need to be a weight on your life, or a curtain blocking the light from coming through. If understood and acknowledged from a place of personal love and acceptance, they can be your superpower. We all have some of it within us; Krista gets extra personal in this one to illustrate that very point. We also talk about: Powers of an empath Intro to codependency Krista’s childhood denying her gifts Loyalty vs. low self-worth Energy matching for safety Empathy as performance Validate me, internet Speaking + living in truth Attachment styles Resources: How to Thrive as an Empath: Understand The Shadow Side and Your Gifts #540 Healing The Mother Wound With Krista Williams #407 Krista Williams on Her Silent Retreat Experience #256 Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.
