Empaths, empathy, and codependency. Have you ever wondered why these words always seem to come up in the same conversation?

Let’s make more sense of this by defining these terms first:

Empathy is the ability to share and understand the feelings of another

An empath is someone with a nervous system who is highly-attuned to the emotions and energy of others. This is someone who can literally feel and take on the emotions and energy of others (ex. I feel for you vs. I feel what you’re feeling).

Codependency is any relationship in which two people become so invested in each other that they can’t function independently anymore. Your mood, happiness, and identity are defined by the other person.

As children, empaths and HSPs tend to tune in to their parents' energy and try to adjust their own to suit their caregivers needs.

We think that our parents/caregivers happiness and wellness depends on how well we’re behaving, or how much we please them, so we start to chameleon into whatever we think will make them happy.

We end up believing that we’re responsible for their happiness and wellbeing.

So as we grow up, we tend to bring this into our adult relationships. And we wonder why we end up in codependent relationships as empaths (it all starts with things that we learned in our childhood)?

This could be things like having poor boundaries and being natural nurturers and being prone to over-giving.

We tend to absorb the energy and emotions of others around us (this makes sense why it would feel like our mood, happiness are defined by other people).

We just want to help others, but sometimes we can end up trying to “fix” everything when it’s not our job or journey to, it’s the other person’s job to do their own individual work.

We don’t want to see other people (esp. Loved ones) in pain and we have a natural instinct to want to shoulder that pain for others.

But we have to realize that we can’t take away the pain from others. It’s not our responsibility as much as it seems and feels like it is.

If you’ve ever questioned if you might be in a codependent relationship, stay tuned for this episode because I’m going to share the 7 signs that you might be in a codependent relationship.

If you’re an empath who is ready to go all in right now with overcoming energetic overwhelm, releasing limiting beliefs, and setting healthy boundaries in your relationships, then I’d love to invite you to enroll in The Empath Empowerment Coaching Program!

Is self-criticism holding you back?

Self-criticism is the act of criticizing one’s own faults or shortcomings.

It is when we typically experience negative thoughts or feelings about ourselves, specifically about our behaviors and/or personal attributes.

While many people have trouble with pointing out their own flaws, empaths can easily get caught up in excessive self-criticism.

We’re highly-sensitive and highly perceptive, therefore it can be tough not to get into our own heads about all of our shortcomings.

While having self-awareness is healthy and an important skill to have in personal development, in our careers, and in our relationships (as far as learning from our mistakes), we as empaths can take self-criticism a little overboard until it wears away at our self-confidence and self-esteem.

A lot of the time, this comes from negative experiences we had in our childhood with caregivers, parents, or authority figures.

Example: If you had a parent that was authoritarian-like (controlling, rigid, critical), then it could’ve had a negative impact on our perception of ourself and our worth.

But we’re not here today to point fingers or blame our parents. We’re just here to shine a light and dig a little deeper.

If you’ve ever struggled with excessive self-criticism before, then you won’t want to miss this brand new podcast episode where Naomi shares an audio replay of a livestream that she did on the 7 ways that excessive self-criticism is holding you back as an empath.

Tune-in and let us know what you think!

*Note: Excessive self-criticism creates inner misconceptions that are deeply rooted in self-limiting beliefs. And self-limiting beliefs live in the subconscious mind. Which is why NLP is a great tool to release them!

These types of limiting beliefs are the key things that we work on releasing in The Empowered Empath Coaching Program, my signature 1:1 private coaching service for empaths.

If you’re an Empath who is interested in overcoming energetic overwhelm, releasing limiting beliefs, and setting healthy boundaries in your relationships, then I’d love to invite you to enroll in The Empowered Empath Coaching Program Course!

Have you ever had a hard time speaking up for yourself? Has it ever been difficult to share your truth with others? Or have you ever wanted to share your opinion with someone but you were worried about upsetting them?

Empaths can feel EVERYTHING. We can feel other people’s emotional reaction. We can feel their uncomfortable emotions. And it can be tough not to absorb the emotional states of others, even when this isn’t our baggage to carry.

Many of us want to avoid conflict at all costs. Some of us are recovering people pleasers. And all of this makes it that much harder to speak up and speak our truth.

But, when we don’t speak our truth, it hampers us from being able to successfully advocate for and assert our needs, which can lead to energetic and emotional overwhelm and drain.

And while there are many factors at play for the reason behind why it’s difficult for some of us to speak our truth, one of the reasons is that many of us empaths don’t realize is that these patterns of behavior could be rooted in a deeper self-limiting belief, which is, ”It is too hard to speak my truth. It will only upset others.”

So,  what do you think? How hard is it for you to speak your truth as an empath? Did you struggle with it in the past? What advice would you have given yourself back then?

Join Naomi for a new podcast episode where she shares an audio replay of a livestream that she did on the topic of empaths and the fear of speaking their truth.

If you’re an empath and if you’ve ever struggled with speaking up and speaking your truth, then this is the perfect podcast episode for you because Naomi shares six reasons why it’s necessary for empaths to speak their truth.

So, you’re an intuitive person. Maybe you’ve always been able to get a good read on people and you have a natural talent with reading between the lines.

Or maybe you have a knack for noticing patterns and connections between people, places, and experiences. And you naturally intuit information from your gut instincts.

But once we have the language around being an intuitive person, the next question that many of us start to ask is, “How can I strengthen my intuition?” “And how can I learn how to use my intuition as a tool to help me in my life?”

I’m here today to let you in on a little intuitive secret. Did you know that your emotions are one of the main ways that your intuition can work for you?

Our emotions are constantly communicating important messages to us.

You know what I’m talking about. I mean, have you ever felt a bad feeling about engaging in a certain experience or situation? Or maybe you’ve had a bad feeling in your gut about working with/dating/befriending a specific person.

Whatever your story is, I bet that on the flip side, you’ve also felt that strong feeling of inner knowing too. That feeling of deep trust and that strong inner knowing when something or someone is right for you.

Your energy and emotions don’t lie. Trust them.

Join Naomi for a brand new podcast episode where she shares an audio replay of a livestream that she did on empaths and trusting the energy and emotions that they feel, especially when it comes to selecting a coach to add to your network of support.

Tune-in to learn how to use your emotions as an intuitive tool to vet out who you allow into your circle of support.

Are you an empath and tired of being misunderstood by others? I’m sure you’re quite familiar with the phrase, “Why can’t they get me?” or “Why can’t they just understand me?”

I’m here today to give you a new perspective on all of this. Join me in my audio replay of my livestream that I did on the topic of empaths and identity work. 

When you have a solid understanding of yourself, how you’re wired, and what you need...you don’t need others to “see” you.

You’re here to understand yourself. To explore your inner identity.

We all have a certain image of ourself + beliefs about the kind of person we are.

Tune-in to learn 10 reasons why identity work imperative for us as empaths.

Show notes will be on podbean.

Many empaths struggle with victim mentality. People struggling with victim mentality do typically see themselves as a victim. We don’t want to be there, but we do when we become consumed by our fear-based thoughts.

Get ready for some tough love (in the most compassionate way). Let's go over some key signs of having a victim mentality:

Many factors play into the reason why empaths struggle with victim mentality (ex. co-dependent relationships, past trauma, etc.), but discernment plays a huge role in whether we are operating in victim vs growth mentality as empaths.

Many of us empaths struggle with discernment. But what is discernment exactly?

Discernment: The ability to judge well, distinguishing what is right/wrong for you. It’s the ability to determine the difference between what your truth is and what a lie is.

When we grew up as empaths, we often found ourselves being taught to not trust our intuition by our caregivers or the adults around us.
Maybe your insights got you in trouble and it led you to seek out validation from others and to be fearful of making decisions that felt good to you and your inner knowing.

We might’ve even ended up in a codependent relationship because we can’t trust our own feelings. This big hot mess of disempowerment probably skyrocketed us into fear and a victim mindset. Then we start to think:

It’s crucial for empaths to validate themselves from within. You are worthy because you are. Not because of anything external you do or achieve. Not because of how proud you make your loved ones.

Once you learn discernment, you’ll be able to trust in your own feelings and intuition more. And with this strong inner trust, you’ll be able to feel more empowered and you will start to trust your ability to achieve a lot more than you think you can.

In NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), we like to use the formula for success. This refers to the idea that being at cause is greater than being in effect (results are greater than reasons).

Empowerment means moving from being in effect to being at cause. If something isn’t working for you (in an area of life), it’s likely that you’re being at effect or something or something. The responsibility is always on you (harsh truth). You have to do the work for yourself.

Join Naomi for an audio replay of her livestream on the topic of empaths and self-worth.

Many of us empaths have commitment issues. In our relationships, career, and with time and money. It can be hard for us to commit to something just for ourselves (especially because we ALWAYS think of others first).

Somewhere along the journey, we started to believe that we were not worthy of investing in and pouring life back into ourselves.

The following mindset blocks that pop up in our head are:

But our self-worth plays a HUGE role!

Let’s clear up some definitions around self-worth, because we see this term being used interchangeably with words like self-confidence, etc. (they’re related but different).

Self-worth: A sense of one’s own value as a human being.

Self-esteem: Confidence and satisfaction in oneself (how you feel about yourself overall).

Self-confidence: Confidence in one’s powers and abilities.

Self-love: Love of self, an appreciation of one’s own worth or virtue.

Here’s how a lack of self- worth shows up in our relationships as empaths:

So, if you’re an empath looking for 1:1 guidance with releasing limiting beliefs like these, then having an NLP Life coach could be a very useful tool for you to help you step back into your personal power as an empath!

Join Naomi for her livestream audio replay on the topic of empaths and the fear of conflict. 

I share my story on how I used to be deathly afraid of conflict as an empath growing up + in my adulthood. I used to allow myself to be mistreated and taken advantage of (i.e., I was painfully shy, had a hard time speaking up, and let others walk all over me just so I wouldn’t upset the other person or start conflict in fear of being rejected or abandoned).

Example: As a kid, I would discuss my ideas/insights with someone and they’d repeatedly take it and pass it off as their own because I didn’t typically share/speak up (and I wouldn’t say anything or confront the person/problem, then I would feel resentful).

These lessons continue to present themselves in adulthood (it’s normal for all of us). The same lessons will repeat themselves until we’ve finally learned them). 

So here's the uncomfortable part. Someone in the online coaching space started copying/duplicating my work, passing it off as their own, and trying to sell it (thanks repeated life lessons).

First, I gave myself space to process my emotions (disappointment, frustration) because it showed me where my boundaries were, CLEARLY.

It was hard to process, because this person actually received a session from me for the same service that they were trying to pass off as their own (I mean, down to using the exact name of my service + what it entails ya'll). Ouch.

I was really hesitant to discuss this today because I was worried about hurting this person's feelings. And while I think people need to be held accountable, I also think cancel culture can be pretty messy and my intention is not to smother this person's light or harm them back.

I know that they can do better and create their own work (they've got it in themselves, they are a powerful creator). Scratching your head in confusion there? I bet you're wondering, "Why are you fuming, Naomi?" Well, I still have compassion for her (yep, you know what I mean if you’re an empath). I know that the copying isn't anything personal, but that it has more to do with them and what they've got going on. 

Like they say in the writing community, people “rob and duplicate” as a content creation strategy. But it doesn’t mean plagiarize or steal someone’s intellectual property (that’s a boundary violation for me).

The lesson: It’s important to set and maintain boundaries, even when it’s uncomfortable to be in conflict with someone. It shows both others and yourself how you expect to be treated and what you will/will not tolerate.

It’s also important to speak your truth so you don’t minimize your self-worth and allow people to treat you in just any old way.

Sometimes is conflict petty and not worth bothering with when you’ve got other things to focus on? Yes. But be clear on what your boundaries are when you find yourself facing conflict.

Stronger boundaries = stronger satisfaction in the way you expect to be treated in relationships (romantic, platonic, family).

These types of misconceptions are deeply rooted in self-limiting beliefs. And self-limiting beliefs live in the subconscious mind. Which is why NLP is a great tool to release them.

Join Naomi for a live audio replay of her livestream on the topic of empaths and the fear of being judged.

So, there’s this buzz in the online space to “show up,” or “show up and be yourself.” It can be tough for empaths to do this both in their relationships and career.

Here’s 5 common fears that empaths + highly-sensitives face on the topic of being judged:

This makes taking risks tough for empaths.

Here’s the real reason why this comes up for empaths:

What proof of success do you have from your past that prove these fears wrong? (Because the subconscious mind needs proof.)

So, let's talk about the shadow self. This is everything that is unconscious, unexpressed, repressed, or maybe even denied. We all have a shadow self. Deep wounding (ex. childhood trauma) can come up during the healing process.

Our fears/shadows are deeply rooted in limiting beliefs (ex. “I can’t be who I truly am, they’ll judge me” or “I can’t speak my truth because I’ll upset others.” Becoming aware of your shadow self helps you accept yourself more as a whole (so you don’t project wounding onto others).

An old coach of mine once asked me, “What’s the worst that could happen?" Ok, so someone judges you. I mean, they’re probably already doing it, right? But are you still sitting here, living, breathing, and still carrying on with your life despite their judgements? Heck yes you are!

So, if you’re an empath looking for 1:1 guidance with releasing limiting beliefs like these, having an NLP coach can help you reprogram your subconscious mind.

I’d love to invite you to join me in the Empowered Empath Coaching Course. This is my signature 8-week, 1:1 private coaching program for empaths who want to understand their gifts, overcome energetic overwhelm, release limiting beliefs, and build better boundaries in their relationships.

Join Naomi for an audio replay of her livestream on the topic of empaths and co-dependency. 

Empaths can often get caught up in codependent relationships:

Co-dependency Defined: An emotional and behavioral condition that affects an individual’s ability to have a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship

These relationships are often one-sided and emotional destructive and toxic.

Characteristics:

Co-dependent relationships are rooted in many factors, but it's also rooted in limiting beliefs (ex. “I’m not strong enough.”

Here's some examples of how this is actually showing up for us in our lives as empaths.

If you’re an empath in a relationship looking for more guidance with releasing limiting beliefs like these so that you can stand in your own personal power in your partnerships…

Naomi interviews Kimberley Wenya, a manifestation and mindset coach, who is traveling the world with her boyfriend, living the digital nomad experience, and is truly embodying the term “free spirit.” We talk about her current experience living in Los Angeles, California, traveling the world, making genuine friendships + releasing ones that no longer serve us, and coaching current + aspiring female entrepreneurs who desire to create the life of their dreams. We hear the fun details of her recent trip to the happiest place on earth, Disneyland! (And she’s a proud first timer!) We talk about everything mindset, manifestation, choosing love and positivity over fear, and of course, her personality type! She’s an ENFP in the Myers-Briggs Personality type system and a pure bundle of joy and positivity! We talk about cognitive functions and how using Extraverted Intuition and Introverted plays out in her personal and career life. Tune in for more!

Tune into the replay of Naomi's livestream on the topic of how our sensitivities as empaths are not a weakness.

As Empaths, we think that this is the problem. We feel like just because we’re different, we “can never get what we want, because that’s just the empath struggle.”

As Empaths and highly-sensitives, we have always felt different than others. We were often labeled “too sensitive” by others while growing up (it actually turns out to be a gift.

There are people out there who are just like you:

Incredibly intuitive (many have psychic gifts)

Natural healers who want to help everyone (just want to make everyone happy - unfortunately, even at their own happiness’ expense)

You’re the person that your family, friends, and partners reach out to when they want to feel better

Our real problem is our mindset.

Are you at cause for your life? Or in effect? (Which one is more empowering)

You might have said this before: “I’m just an empath and I’ll always be stuck in relationships that drain me.”

Your words create your thoughts, and your thoughts create your actions, and your actions create your reality

What you’re saying and what you’re putting into the world is what you’ll attract and see.

Your emotions shape your reality as well.

There is only feedback, no failure

If you’ve tried setting boundaries before or attempted to improve your significant relationships in other ways that just haven’t worked yet it just means you’ll have to try different tools and a different route (reassess, not give up).

Are you an Empath or Highly-Sensitive Person? This is what I wish my former overwhelmed, misunderstood, disempowered self knew 4 years ago.

In this podcast episode, I share my livestream that I did for my Empath Series and I talk about my story on how I found out that I was an empath. You'll hear my journey through working a job that was overwhelming for my nervous system, thinking something was wrong with me, and perpetually feeling misunderstood in my relationships at home and at work.

I still have to thank my friend who introduced me to personality types over lunch that one afternoon in my 9-5 job. That's when I found out that I was introverted and BOOM! That opened up the gates to a lot of “ah-has” and insights about myself and my inner wiring. Because, I’ve always felt different and never really felt like I fit in. If you're an empath, you understand this struggle too.

Then I found out that approximately 70% of people who are introverted are highly-sensitive people (HSPs). An HSP is person who is very sensitive to their external stimuli, environment, and people. This can often cause them to feel overwhelmed and overstimulated. Empaths are also highly-sensitive people, but the key difference is that they can take on, absorb, and process the emotions that others around them are feeling.

Some other common struggles that you may relate to as an empath include:

-Learning to love and accept ourselves

-Self-love, self-worth, insecurity/lack of self-confidence
-Fear of abandonment, judgement, persecution
-Fear of conflict or upsetting others
-Uncomfortable with feeling vulnerable
-Fear of speaking up/ speaking truth (as empaths, although we so deeply want to connect through sharing)
-Self-criticism + Perfectionism
-Poor boundaries and resentment
-Overthinking

Have you ever asked the universe for a sign and received it? Our most recent guest shares her story of how this happened to her and how it led to many shifts happening in her life. It was such an honor having Leah Carrillo Rivera as a guest on the That’s Deep Podcast! She is an INFJ, a mother of two, wife, life coach, and the creator behind the Serenity Journal Planner. She helps parents and teachers learn valuable life skills so they can teach their kids/students through coaching, workshops, and more. Leah is a registered nurse who resigned from her pediatric nursing job of seven years at a Children’s Hospital in her city due to health issues and to protect the health of her baby. Now she’s a life coach and she also does business coaching for new nurse entrepreneurs with her husband! Leah is a very spiritual person and she was very open about her faith in God and asking for signs from the universe. In this episode, we hear Leah’s personal story where she got very sick three years ago and was put on bedrest. The doctors didn’t understand why and she was on 20 meds and 15 supplements just to feel normal. It was because of this that she turned to holistic healing. When she turned 28, she finally threw her box of medications away. She also shared that her husband (also a nurse) had gotten attacked by his patient in the past and has been on disability ever since. Because of these life changing experiences, she knew how hard it might be to get pregnant. However, this past year she and her husband decided to try and have another baby. Leah noticed that every time she went back in to work, she noticed she would get her symptoms back. So, she and her husband made the decision that if she were to get pregnant, she would leave her job. And guess what? She found out that she was pregnant, that same week! At that point, she sent in her resignation letter within the following week or two and the rest was history! In this episode, we wear our mom hats and talk about how we’ll do anything for our kids, even though we may not do anything for ourselves and our own health. Sometimes it takes something as big as a pregnancy to really take care of your physical and emotional health. Leah also shares her story of going through bouts of anxiety and depression. It was hard for her to understand how all of a sudden she got sick. One day she had a dream that the reason that she was sick was that she didn’t love or take care of herself and she woke up crying. She then realized that she was taking care of everyone else before herself. As a recovering people pleaser, she realized that if she wants to be a good mom and nurse, then she needs to take care of herself and love herself first. This has become something she wants to teach her family and kids. This story is one that I know a lot of people can relate to here in the That’s Deep Podcast Community.

In this episode, I had the honor of interviewing my younger sister Jaclyn Taylor. This live interview was recorded in-person during our vacation in Orange County, California. She flew in from Texas, I flew in from Hawaii, and we met in LA and drove into the OC to vacation for a couple days. We recorded this on our last day of vacation after spending two days at Disneyland and California Adventure Park and exploring the OC. My sister is an INFP in the Myers-Briggs Personality System. In this episode, she shares her personal story about dropping out of college, tapping into her creativity through drawing, and she she shares more on what she's currently working on in her personal life. We talk about the INFP personality type, how perfectionism and idealistic tendencies can be difficult, and we talk about the shift in family dynamics as a person transitions from childhood to adulthood. We also touch on mental health, emotional limits, safety/awareness, taking things in stride, self-limiting beliefs, and comparison and curated experiences on social media.  She shares her personal story with coping, processing, and moving on from losing both of her parents. In this interview, she states, "Grief is not a straight line" in her perspective on grief. We talk about how powerful it can be to take difficult experiences and shape them into something that empowers you (and eventually others).  On a fun and random sister note, we also talk on the struggles of having a resting bitch face (RBF), how amazing the song Japanese Denim is by Daniel Caesar, and feeling gratitude for being able to come out to California for a much needed vacation and sister trip. Tune in to join us on our conversation!  *Disclaimer: More profanities/curse words were used during this episode (our apologies!) , but you know how it is when sisters get together and do some serious sister/girl talk!

Are you an introvert or an extravert? As an introvert and an INFJ, I know that introverts are often misunderstood. But the question is… if you’re an introvert, do you think that there is too much focus on the idea on how “nobody gets you,” or how you’re “so misunderstood?”

In this episode, we dive into everything Myers-Briggs with our guest expert, Leslie McDaniel! We talk about the definition of being an introvert and an INFJ personality type. If you’re an INFJ, I have exciting news, because one of your biggest superpower strengths is your ability to anticipate future implications, especially around people. You’re a boss at perspective thinking and metacognition (ya know? Thinking about thinking. Which also probably explains why we’re in our own heads so often!)

Want more juicy personality type information? Well you’re in for a treat, because Leslie McDaniel is a Certified Professional Coach, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Practitioner, Personality Hacker Certified Profiler, and an Enneagram Accredited Practitioner.

To kick off season 3, I brought back my dear friend Stephanie Jameson to the show and it was so refreshing to have her back on That’s Deep Podcast for a second time! Having her back on the show was a no brainer after working with her for the last year and making huge transformations and fun fact, her episode was the most listened to episode on the podcast, throughout all of the entire seasons! If you haven’t heard that episode yet, be sure to listen to Season 1, Episode 8 of the That’s Deep Podcast Titled “Choosing Love over Fear with an Intuitive Empath and Psychic Medium. Here’s a little background on Stephanie. She is an intuitive empath, psychic medium, certified reiki master, and author of The Happy Empaths Workbook and The Happy Empath’s Little Book of Affirmations. While we recorded this around the new moon eclipse, we’ve just survived the full moon eclipse this past week. Phew! How are you feeling after all of that heightened energy? Did you know that Mercury is in retrograde right now (all about reflecting and reassessing) and (as well as many other planets like Pluto (soul transformation), Saturn (the resolution of karma and past lessons), Venus (deep heart healing, loving yourself, and honoring yourself - just went direct), Jupiter (serious spiritual truth seeking, teaching us on what we need to master around our spiritual path - when it goes direct in Sept., we’re all going to get a little reward or bonus for all of our hard work that we’ve been doing since doing), Neptune (seeing things clearly, moving past illusions)). This is a massive time for growth across the planet! So stay tuned to hear more about the astrological updates, empath advice, energy tips, manifestation, and more around the different types of psychic abilities that people typically have. In this episode, she gives us a sneak peak into what her new book is all about, which revolves around some amazing affirmations for resetting and reprogramming your mindset for sensitives. She also just manifested a new car for herself (a Mercedes) and did this through quantum manifesting. We talk a little bit about manifestation and how much emotions are involved in the process. She’s a huge believer in the LOA. She practiced gratitude for things that haven showed up in the physical world but she knows is on her way to her. She also started a manifesting course, which will help you manifest your desires by mastering your emotions, believing you're worthy, choosing love over fear daily, and owning your own power.

Did you know that by 2060, the multi-racial population will TRIPLE? This powerful statistic was shared by our most recent podcast interview guest, Milli Moto. It was truly an honor and an absolute dream come true having Milli Moto on the That’s Deep Podcast! Milli is a mother, actress, multi-media artist, recording artist, and educator from Los Angeles, California. She’s been a role-model for me and someone that I’ve always looked up to and it’s a blessing to have been able to connect with her for the show. Milli started off in the entertainment industry from a young age and you might’ve even seen her on tv shows like Key and Peele or Jane the Virgin. She’s been in movies like Think Like a Man Too and maybe you’ve even seen her on the Emmy nominated digital series, Pillow Talk. She’s also done stunt work for television series like Homecoming, with Janelle Monae and Scream Queens to name a few. Milli is multi-passionate and she is a singer and rapper as well. She’s also a part of an extremely musically talented family and we get to hear the background story about her song “Mood” and how she sang the vocals on the track (although many thought it was her niece Jhene Aiko!). She graduated from USC with a Master’s Degree in Teaching (English). She’s taught middle and high school before, but at this time, she’s trying to merge the entertainment world and multiculturalism by educating future creators, directors, producers, and actors/actresses with her background in education. She’s an ISFJ in the Myers-Briggs Personality Type System and we spoke about being an introvert and managing our energetic reserves, where she shares her need for alone time, and how we get recharged by being alone. We also talked about how she’s balancing her career, current studies as a student, and being a super-mom, all at the same time. We spoke about how becoming a mother changed and transformed her life in the best ways possible. We also talked about her devotion to send her daughter to Japanese school to learn the language and how it holds a deeper meaning for her, where she shares her heartfelt story about her father. Be sure to tune-in to this special episode, because we also had a valuable conversation on her experience being a multiethnic and multi-racial woman with what’s going on with the Black Lives Matter and other anti-racist initiatives happening right now in our world. Milli has been such a leading example for me as a mixed woman and I love her perspective on this topic, where we talk about how we need more empathy in the collective at this moment in time. Join us for this deep conversation! To connect with Milli, follow her on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/millimoto_/

It was an honor to have Jae Hermann on the show! She is a GenX storyteller, coach, writer, copy editor, podcaster, and badassery advocate.

Jae overcame breast implant illness, which for years had robbed her of her health, identity, and creative voice. Now, she’s a multi-passionate empath who helps women and Gen-X gals tap into their power where she guides them to give themselves permission to share their own unique stories through the power of storytelling.

We began our conversation with having a discussion around what’s been happening with Black Lives Matter and other anti-racist initiatives happening after George Floyd’s murder. We spoke about what it’s like to experience the weight of the pandemic on top of what’s happening in our black community right now.

We also spoke about what it means to be an introvert, and how it doesn’t mean that you're shy, anti-social, or don’t want to connect with people. As introverts, we discussed our love for solitude and being easily drained by the energy of other people. Join in on our conversation as we explain it in terms of energy input and output.

Jae and I also talked about being INFJs and how this type uses logic in their lives (as a feeling type). We talked about the importance of using our intuition in decision making as an introvert, INFJ, and empath and how our personality type is naturally drawn to creating deeper connections with others, rather than just having the surface conversations. You’ll want to check our conversation out around developing a balance between intuition and logic.

My favorite part of the segment was when we spoke about being empaths, and being aware of and managing energy, boundaries, and protection. It’s easy to become overwhelmed as an empath, so it’s important to check in with your heart and to be aware with what’s yours vs. what isn’t in terms of energy. Jae shares a useful tool for protecting your energy as an empath and introvert, and reminds us that nothing is wrong with us as sensitives, and how it’s a gift.

Tune-in to the episode to hear more about being mindful and aware of your energy reserves, how to recognize your own power, and how you can use the power of storytelling to empower others!

It was an honor to have Jas Hothi on the That’s Deep Podcast! Jas is an introvert + multi-passionate creative. He runs INF club, a newsletter + community for INFPs + INFJs. He also tutors virtually (#remote) and is self-publishing his 1st book, the indie author (#indie). Work aside, he enjoys reading, watching sports, Winnie-the-Pooh, nourishing conversations and - of course - freedom (#INFP). He’s from the UK and has a passion for wanting to help people grow, learn, and be their best selves. Jas shares his story of the journey (both spiritual and business). He brings us through his journey of being a highly-focused academic student, to finding himself dropping out of university a few times, to ending up in recruitment for financial services. Things came to a head when he got employee of the year and realizing that he should be happier than he was. This was the moment he knew he needed to do something). Something just wasn’t right. He dove into reading about being an introvert and highly sensitive person (HSP), which co-occurred while he was on his his spiritual awakening path and while he was bringing himself into alignment. Right now he’s in the best spot he’s ever been in. We talk about his experience as being INFP type in the Myers-Briggs personality type system, being an HSP, and an Empath. (You’ll want to listen in for his tips on managing energy as an introvert and HSP). Jas drives the message home of the importance of community and finding your people or “tribe” as an intuitive personality type (I.e., Finding other Ns). Community brought him feelings of feeling less alone and weird, self acceptance, understanding, healing, and growth. We also talked about the importance of understanding and following your intuition. The only person who has all of the answers is you. There is no one else like you and only you have the answers. If you're intuitive, you probably need to do work that you care about. You probably desire to have the freedom to do what you want, in your own way. Tune in for more on Jas, his story, and his insights as an introverted intuitive feeler.

It was a blast having Maria Grande on the That’s Deep Podcast! We recorded this episode last week during the super full moon (the super pink moon, the brightest moon of the year), so you know we had to talk about full moon rituals, crystals, moon water, and all the things woo! Maria is an ENFP, a mother and wife, a personal power speaker, and a coach. She grew up in South Philly and now she lives in South Jersey. She is also the host of her podcast, Worth In Progress, where she shares her journey of going through the self-worth process. She also hosts live events on personal development and has a girls empowerment series as well. Exciting news! She’s also currently working on writing her book. She teaches personal accountability and I love that Maria said, “What you do with your energy is your responsibility.” She teaches people about self-worth and how to unlearn the conditioning and patterns that don’t serve them. It all comes down to mindset work. She shares that she can be an over thinker, and how she used to tell herself that she wasn’t good enough, and how she held herself back with her limiting beliefs. She’s got a hold on her mindset now, but she mentions that it never stops and you have to consistently check in on your mindset. We dive deep into her personal story, where Maria shares that her 20s were the heart of her pain. She shares that if she could tell her 21-year old self anything, she would tell her that she’s already enough, she can be anything she chooses to be, and being different is a gift. Now she knows that she doesn’t have to fit a mold or pretend to be somebody. Everything that she’s been through has contributed to who she is today. If there’s one huge takeaway that you get from this episode with Maria, you’ll learn that it’s ok to not be positive all the time and that we as humans just need to embrace and laugh at the dark side, and not stay there. Just allow it and move on. Tune-in to the episode to learn more about how to foster self-worth from within!

Now, in the last two years she’s had her own practice where she helps individuals and companies to align with their own unique blueprint so that they can perform and operate at their best in their personal and professional lives. Before talking story with Erin, I’ve always thought that I was a projector. But come to find out, I’m actually a generator. Erin said that generators have the energy and the life force to build and make things happen. But the most important part is that they’re deeply lit up by what they’re doing. They are built to design their life and business through their magnetism.

In this episode, Naomi interviews Sonata Yazmeen Beasley, from the Boundless Flow on the That’s Deep Podcast! She is a Yoga Instructor and an Ayurvedic Practitioner in the making. We talk about overcoming anxiety, going on a path of spiritual healing, yoga, and the Ayurvedic lifestyle. We also talk about spiritual bypassing and going into the shadows and doing shadow-work to release the things that are hindering us and the people around us. Sonata fills us in on what she’s working on in her personal life which is surrendering and letting go of the need to want to be in control. We talk about allowing our paths to come as they need to come and staying grounded.  It was such a synchronicity to find out that we also found out that we went to the same middle and high school on the island of Kauai (Kapaa. Go Warriors!). We also found out that we both love Erykah Badu!  In this conscious conversation, Sonata talks about the difference in the culture here in Hawaii as compared to in the mainland in Sacramento and the speed at which life moves. She talks about moving past being stereotyped and being grateful for what the islands have done for her on an emotional growth level. We were most appreciative of Sonata sharing her personal story with anxiety and how she got to the more empowered state that she embodies at this moment in time. We also talk about the things that challenge us and working on building self-worth. Sonata also shares what she’s currently working on in her business and her new coaching program.  Sonata is an ENFJ is the Myers-Briggs Personality Type system, so we also take a dive into the ENFJ personality type beyond her four-letter code.  *If you want to get in touch with Sonata you can find her on: Instagram (@theboundlessflow) and on her website (boundlessflow.com).  *Research Resources: Personality Hacker by Joel Mark Witt and Antonia Dodge and The 16 Personality Types by Dr. AJ Drenth We are also so excited to announce that we at That's Deep are now Affiliates with Truity.com! *To find out what your personality type via the Truity TypeFinder Personality Type Test: https://www.truity.com/?an=thatsdeepco_655881
