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.
