Are You Secretly an Empath? Here’s How to Know and Thrive!

Embracing Your Inner Empath: A Path to Authentic Power and Connection

Have you ever felt like the world just… seeps into you?
Maybe you crave time alone, get drained in crowds, or instinctively sense what others feel — often before they do themselves. If that sounds like you, you might just be an empath. And guess what? That’s not something to fix — it’s something to embrace.

In my latest conversation on the You World Order Showcase Podcast, I sat down with the deeply insightful Michelle J. Howe, founder of Empath Evolution. Together, we explored how empaths can navigate this noisy world while staying grounded in their true nature — and even use this sensitivity as a superpower to uplift others.

✨ What Makes an Empath, Really?

Michelle shared that while everyone feels, true empaths live with a heightened energetic sensitivity. It’s like their emotional and energetic boundaries are more fluid. This means they can absorb — and sometimes carry — the vibrations, moods, and unspoken pains of those around them.

That’s why empaths often need more time to retreat, recharge, and reconnect with their own energy — especially after being around intense emotions or large crowds.

As Michelle put it: “Being an empath is a big responsibility. You feel a lot — so you must learn how to come back to yourself, release what’s not yours, and stay strong in who you are.”

🌀 The Trap of Carrying Others’ Stories

One of my favorite moments was when we dove into the truth that so many empaths get stuck trying to fix or carry other people’s emotional burdens. Maybe you can relate?

When you’re naturally attuned to people’s pain, it can feel almost impossible to stand by and do nothing. But Michelle reminds us that true support doesn’t mean taking it all on.

We each have our own “play” to star in, as she says — our own story to live, speak, and express. If you’re always tending to everyone else’s script, when do you get to shine in yours?

🌱 Your Path Forward: From Overwhelm to Empowerment

So, what can you do if you resonate with this?

Michelle shared some beautiful, simple reminders:

• Understand your energy: Learn your own patterns, triggers, and how to strengthen your field.

• Discern what’s yours and what’s not: Not every emotion you feel belongs to you.

• Build in non-negotiable alone time: This is your sacred space to reset.

• Find community: Connect with other empaths who see, feel, and hold space for your growth.

Michelle’s own work — including her Feelings, Truth and Loving Your Life audio training — helps sensitive souls build this wisdom step by step.

🌟 Why This Matters Right Now

So many conscious coaches, healers, and spiritual entrepreneurs are empaths — but they haven’t always had language for it. They feel the world deeply and want to lead with love, but can get stuck in burnout, people-pleasing, or hiding their gifts for fear of being “too sensitive.”

I see you — and you are not alone.

Your voice, your boundaries, and your vision matter more than ever. The world doesn’t need you numb or silenced. It needs you fully awake and anchored in your unique power to raise the collective frequency.
