• 194. Is This Mine or Theirs? Managing Empathy for Intuitive Leaders

  If you’ve ever left a meeting feeling inexplicably exhausted, found yourself stuck in resentment, or felt overwhelmed by other people’s emotions, you might be carrying energy that isn’t yours. In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, I’m guiding you through one of the most essential energetic leadership tools I’ve ever learned: empathy management. We explore: The real-world signs of unmanaged empathy (and why it’s not the same as codependency) How to discern your energy from everyone else’s A powerful practice called the Zip Up Method that strengthens your energetic boundaries instantly A calming breath + nervous system regulation ritual you can do in just minutes How to stop people-pleasing and start expressing your truth—without fear Plus, I share a vulnerable story about how I went from world-class people pleaser to an empowered, intuitive leader... and how you can, too. This episode will help you reclaim your energy, find your authentic voice, and start leading in a way that feels deeply aligned. Tune in and take back your energy, one breath at a time.

Inside this episode, we explore: Why alignment matters more than strategy—and what happens when your values and your actions don’t match The emotional toll of friendships that no longer fit—and the deep permission to let go How to reclaim your agency in healthcare, business, or family dynamics by honoring your energy What to do when you’re overwhelmed by ideas but limited by capacity How to create progress through “little yeses”—like 7 minutes of writing, a 5-minute creative reset, or a tiny act of self-trust You’ll also hear live coaching moments with participants as they move through fear, uncover truth, and access wisdom in the mind, heart, and gut—building the foundation for powerful, sustainable leadership.
