Expanding Your Capacity to Receive in Business, Life, and Love

The Prosperous Empath® Podcast

In this episode of the Prosperous Empath® Podcast, I’m continuing the series on challenges that empaths and HSPs often struggle with and sharing practices, mindset shifts, and tips on how to overcome them. The topic of this episode - expanding your capacity to receive - has been one of the greatest transformations for me over the last decade and it’s something I routinely explore with clients. In life, there is an inherent polarity between givers and takers, and the majority of empaths and HSPs overidentify as givers. There are amazing benefits to being a talented giver (which is why many empaths thrive as service providers), but it can also be hard to allow yourself to receive and have your needs met, whether it’s in business partnerships or romantic relationships, to name just a few. In this episode, you’ll learn why empaths often struggle with giving too much of themselves, the consequences of this tendency, and how to nurture your ability to receive more and better.

Topics:

• Catherine’s personal experience with expanding her capacity to receive in business, life, and love & how growing up in a bed-and-breakfast disconnected her from her own needs

• Digging deeper into why empaths often struggle with people-pleasing, high-achieving, excessive caretaking, and authentically expressing their emotions

• Uncovering how you may be creating dynamics in your business, relationships, and life that set you up for giving too much and how to re-train the people in your life on what they can & can’t expect from you

• How to prevent burnout, misaligned relationships & partnerships, and stop giving from an empty love tank

• Nurturing more intimacy in life & business and learning how to lean in to nonviolent communication
