Merriam-Websters’s defines an empath as: one who experiences the emotions of others : a person who has empathy for others. As one looks deeper into the definition, one realizes the great responsibility of this state of being.

Over the three decades I have been present on this Earth, I have seen, experienced and encountered a lot. However, one thing remained constant: I was an Empath. This was something that I used to deny, resist and sometimes loathe. Enduring social anxieties, lack of emotional boundaries, and a breakdown in relationships caused me to identify, study and master my gift, which is still in progress.

After looking deep within, working through some pain and accepting the things about me that could not be changed, I realized how important empaths truly are to humankind. We listen, advise, bear knowledge and counsel under extreme conditions.

For these reasons, I devoted my education to the study of my gift and celebrate the journey of others like me! Bless you for doing the same!
