Supporting Yourself Through the Liminal Space: Reinvention as an Empath with Sarah St. John

I'm delighted to have Sarah St. John on the show today, who's past podcast, The Uncensored Empath, was a source of inspiration for my own. Along with being a podcast host, Sarah is the founder of Empath School, an author, a somatic coach, and creator of Become an Empath Coach™ certification. Throughout the episode, she shares how personal health challenges, becoming a mom, and other instances of grief led her to retire her podcast (despite its success) to take the time to redefine her own identity and focus. Sarah is trained in somatic healing, neuro linguistic programming, emotional freedom technique, yoga, meditation, and more and she shares how these modalities have helped her heal and reconnect with her body while embracing the messiness of liminal spaces so many of us often find ourselves in. She believes that empaths are uniquely wired to be potent healers, as you listen in you'll see why. I appreciate Sarah's openness throughout the whole episode and if you're on your own personal journey of healing, I think you will too.

Topics:

• Knowing when it's time to close a chapter in your life and how to make that change without chaos and breakdown
• The interconnectedness of being an empath and experiencing grief and trauma and why Sarah has become so dedicated to healing of these layers
• How the parentification of children can lead to hyper-responsibility, hyper-vigilance, masking sensitivity, and ultimately becoming an empath
• Why it is important for empaths to learn how to be in their body to feel their own emotions and feelings to reconnect with their own humanity
• What nervous system work can look and feel like as an empath who is desiring to make a change around how they manage their lived experience
• Sarah's experience with brushing up against death and how this has pushed her to be intentional with creating a legacy and embodying her beliefs
