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.

With love,

The Empowered Empath®

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.

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?

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 drained
• How our brain and nervous system respond to the emotions around us
• The role of mirror neurons in human connection
• Where science and spirituality can meet
• How to begin distinguishing your emotions from someone else's
• A simple practice for creating awareness without shutting down your sensitivity

Our 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.

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.

Welcome to The Empowered Empath I'm your host, Kerith, and I'm truly so grateful you're here. This first episode is a "get to know me" conversation, because if we're going to spend time together, I want you to know the heart behind this podcast and the human behind the voice. This space is for the ones who feel deeply, who've spent their lives trying to make sense of what they carry, and who are ready to stop shrinking just to fit into a world that doesn't always understand the sensitivity.

In this episode, I share pieces of my personal journey and what led me here to the healing work, the growth, and the tools that helped me find safety within myself. You'll also hear what you can expect from The Empowered Empath moving forward: honest conversations, grounding practices, energy protection, boundaries, and gentle reminders that you are not "too much." You're not broken. You're powerful and you deserve to live a life where your empathy is gift, not a burden. Welcome in....you belong here.

Until next time protect your peace, honor your light, and walk the world empowered.
