Episode 23: Empathy vs. Anxiety
Show Notes

In this episode we talk, very carefully, about considering the idea that some of the anxiety that we experience as a collective and individually may actually be a sign that you are empathically absorbing the emotions and energies of those around you. It is so difficult to speak to mental health and mental illness in a nuanced way, so the disclaimer here is that the topic of this episode does not in any way undermine your experiences with anxiety, depression, or mental health in general. 

In this episode I share my own experiences with mental health and making the connections between the times that I am truly feeling anxiety and the times that I am actually picking up on the emotions and energies of others. We are all connected, all of us, and we are constantly transmitting non-verbal communication back and forth so this episode is inviting you into a deeper level of self-awareness so as to understand what exactly you are feeling within. 

As always, I love connecting with you so please feel free to drop me a dm on IG or FB (@the.holistic.hippie) to share your insights, your experiences, and get the lines of communication open as we cultivate these beautiful connections.
