Environments for Empaths

January 22, 2019 18:00 - 11 minutes - 15.9 MB

This was a good one. So yeah, where's good for us to recharge and get refreshed? I think it depends on each of us specifically, and asking ourselves what it is we're needing at this very moment. Is it connecting to regain our faith in humanity? Or maybe we wanna unplug completely. Sometimes being surrounded by people seeking healing can be even more draining on us, so it's important to listen to exactly where our lil hearts wanna be. Ask yourself, write it down, and go for it. Whether it's p...

Spirit Guide Housewarming

January 22, 2019 17:00 - 16 minutes - 22.8 MB

What about when we feel like we lost our connection to our Spirit Guides? Where the hell'd they go, or why can't we hear em anymore? Our spiritual pit crew evolves right alongside our everyday life. It might just be time to get acquainted with your new circle!   With love and joy -Rebecca

The Loner

January 21, 2019 14:56 - 7 minutes - 10.5 MB

Some of us just ain't made for group work, and that's ok! We love people, and we love to do our own thing. I think as Empaths, sometimes its easy to forget that we're usually tuned in to the masses 24/7, so we naturally need more alone time than most. It ain't nothin' personal, we just very rarely feel alone. If ever.   With love and joy- Rebecca

How Will I Know?

January 14, 2019 15:58 - 24 minutes - 33.2 MB

How will we know if we're an Empath!? Only we ourselves know the depths of who we TRULY are, right? So learning to be compassionate and listen to ourselves with kindness, is KEY. So, this is what I've found for myself defines not only practicing empathy but being an Empath. With love and joy- Rebecca 

The Never Ending Story

January 08, 2019 17:30 - 37 minutes - 51.1 MB

Please go listen to Stuff You Should Know- How Empathy Works- April 06 2017 There is much to learn from this! We are not meant to and will not all feel the world the same, and we will not always understand exactly how others live in it. Relationships, stories, and listening to other sides of things is never ending... and it reminds me how different we truly interpret life sometimes! Let's discuss! Learning how to practice healthy empathy when it's what we ourselves embody, and what it is...

You Deserve This

December 08, 2018 14:17 - 18 minutes - 24.9 MB

Abundance has always felt like something that I had to earn.  I've believed, I'm just being selfish, or I have to "do the work" enough to deserve good things.  And trust me, I've always been one to talk about "doing the work" but...the way I've imprisoned myself...ain't healthy, and it ain't a truth I'm willing to live for the rest of my life.

I'm Pickin' Up Whatcha Puttin' Down

November 29, 2018 16:11 - 14 minutes - 20.3 MB

You're Not A Garbage Collector

November 26, 2018 15:02 - 12 minutes - 16.9 MB

1. First, let's make sure you don't have an agreement with someone that they bring home all their homework for you to do...cause that ain't cool.  You're not broken or busted, you have an unhealthy agreement with someone who lacks self-responsibility. 2. People that sincerely come to you with their heartache, know you are a safe space, and often don't need much more than a listening ear.  Make sure you remind yourself there's nothing else to be done, but love em.  That's more than enough. ...

The Power In Our Story

November 19, 2018 15:45 - 5 minutes - 7.49 MB

Sometimes we don't need the facts, because we've already been reasoning away and avoiding the facts all along.  We need someone else's story.  To hear ourselves in someone else's words.  Sometime's only then will we recognize what it is we've been feeling and trying to understand. *Excuse me and the pup squeezing in lunch and snuggle time while we record.* #thefamilythatsnackstogther   With love and joy- Rebecca Garifo Ph.D.

Letting Go

November 12, 2018 16:36 - 9 minutes - 13.3 MB

Letting go and seeing the truth can be so painful, but the reward of untameable truth and compassion is beyond words.  We may be delaying love and joy we never thought possible, by holding onto things that no longer serve us. One day at a time.  Just keep goin' baby, I'm right there with ya. All my love and joy- Rebecca Garifo Ph.D.

Ya Privates.

November 06, 2018 18:05 - 7 minutes - 10.4 MB

Don't invite everyone into the private details of your life!  I mean, OR your actual privates, but that's for completely different reasons we can discuss at a later date. You are sacred and PRECIOUS.  Keep some gems to yourself so they can continue to grow.  Don't let people dull your shine by critiquing it at their every will. with love and joy- Rebecca Garifo

Your Trauma Knows When It's Safe To Come Out

November 02, 2018 13:11 - 8 minutes - 12.2 MB

Your trauma knows when it's safe to come out.  Trust the rhythms of your own healing. We can miss our entire lives and opening to love by "doing the work" obsessively. With love and joy- Rebecca Garifo  IG @empathsalchemy rebeccagarifo.com

"I Feel Like I'm Taking CRAZY Pills!"

October 30, 2018 14:25 - 23 minutes - 32.6 MB

When our physical health, mental health, emotional health, whatever health, has had it... it can be a lil scary when it decides it's had enough, and it's takin' the trash out whether we like it or not. But fear not my friend, it's a gateway to a healthier and lighter life if we grasp the opportunity and let it unfold. All my love and joy- Rebecca Garifo Ph.D.

The Narcissist & The Empath

October 23, 2018 13:56 - 12 minutes - 17 MB

It's a tale as old as time... But what the fuck are we supposed to get out of it?  A lot actually.  A lot of backbone and compassion I do believe. All my love and joy! -Rebecca Garifo [email protected] IG @empathsalchemy rebeccagarifo.com

Canary In A Coalmine

October 19, 2018 14:50 - 16 minutes - 22 MB

It ain't just one of my favorite songs by The Police. It's often how our lives feel when we're still figuring out our sensitivities and how to take care of ourselves regularly. What are our illnesses trying to tell us? Where are we not only picking up on others, but most importantly, ourselves? We gotta listen to ourselves first. With all my love and joy- Rebecca Garifo

When Shielding Ain't Cuttin' It.

October 16, 2018 14:34 - 13 minutes - 18 MB

As much as I believe we are all sensitive beings, even as Empaths, we are not all exactly alike.  There's a big difference between being extremely sensitive, and broadcasting a subconscious life purpose of being a portal for entities, lost souls, and burdening emotions. Not all protocols will work for us, and we may have to dig a lil deeper. Here's what's been workin' for me so far! xoxo! Lemme know how you're doin' and what you'd like to discuss! [email protected]
