In this episode, we had a conversation about resilience, empaths, and highly sensitive people with empath coach Lola Pickett. If you've ever been told "you're too sensitive," or often feel overwhelmed by the world around you, then you might be an empath! Instead of turning to unhealthy habits around food, addiction, or relationships, Lola Pickett joins us to share how you can re-program your nervous system to have a healthier response to triggers. Lola guides us through ways we can embrace the strengths of being an empath without having to suffer from the downsides. If you feel overwhelmed by your emotional reactions, unsatisfied in your relationships, or longing for a greater sense of success, you’ll want to tune into this amazing conversation.In this episode, we talk about the good and the bad of being an empath or HSP (highly sensitive person), including:What is an empath, exactly?Why being an empath might lead you to live an inauthentic life (and how to fix that)How to find success in your career and personal life as an empathStrengthening our nervous systems to feel safe, reprogramming old patterning, and changing our lives. Empath or HSP (highly sensitive person)? What's the difference?Coping mechanisms like hypervigilance.Are empaths more wired for addictive behaviors? What it takes to feel genuine satisfaction in life. Letting go of the average to find what resonates with our soul. How to parent children to be able to fully express their emotions and form healthy relationships. Feeling triggered, establishing boundaries, and still supporting those who are important to you in your life. The important question to ask ourselves when we’re feeling overwhelmed. About Lola Through her podcast, courses, and programs, Lola Pickett empowers empaths and sensitive folk to rewire their brains, bodies, and behavior for internal & external resilience; shifting from self-repression to soul-expression. She is the published author of the Wild Messengers Alchemical Tarot and founder of EMPATH*ology—an emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual resiliency training program.Being intimately familiar with toxic coping mechanisms and expired survival strategies, Lola’s offerings blend cutting-edge neuroscience with trauma healing, herbalism, permaculture, ritual, and play to create powerful and lasting results.Mentioned in the Podcast https://lolapickett.com/IG: @thelolapickett Podcast: Empath To Power YouTube: https://youtube.com/thelolapickettFree Quiz: What Type of Empath Are You? https://learn.lolapickett.com/empath-quiz/Subscribe and Leave a ReviewWe hope you loved this episode as much as we do.
