Growing up in a dysfunctional family isn’t easy. It can take over a child’s life further into their adult years. They can feel abandoned, misunderstood and often rejected by others. The way they cope isn’t healthy and often traumatic. Many will use work as an escapism mechanism and use drugs, alcohol or people pleasing to numb their pain, instead of feeling what they’re feeling. When a parent doesn’t regulate their own emotions, they often use their anger towards their kids instead of healing their own emotions. They use the child as an emotional punch bag which is so wrong! Many kids who grew up with trauma find it difficult to express their needs and often have a trauma bond attached to the person who emotionally abused them!

As empaths and highly sensitive people it can be hard to trust your intuition and learn how to protect your energy field. I know what it’s like to feel misunderstood, not heard and drained from other people’s emotions. I know what it’s like to feel depressed, anxious and sad and it wasn’t my energy, it was the person I was talking to. I know what it’s like when I first heard the term ‘empath’ and began to cry, because for the first time I felt understood. I realised that I needed to learn how to protect my energy field. When empaths are surviving life, they aren’t thriving. They haven’t learnt that their sensitivity is a gift and not a curse. They don’t know how to stop pleasing people and how to protect their peace. That’s why it’s so important to understand your sensitivity and learn how to regulate it. Rachael Kelly knows what it’s like to feel misunderstood and anxious without knowing why. Until she too heard the term empath.

Many of us have grown up neglecting our empath energy due to how society perceived our emotions. We learnt that being vulnerable, expressing our emotions was seen as a weakness, and slowly we began to ignore our intuition and trust the opinions of others.People-pleasing and sacrificing our needs became part of our norm. We ended up making sure everyone else was okay, except ourselves. I know what it’s like to lose yourself in a society where your sensitivity is seen as a weakness. I know what it’s like to be mocked for expressing my emotions. I know what it’s like to walk away from the expectations of others and finally take my power back. I know what it’s like to realise that people’s opinions were never my own, in fact, I had neglected myself for decades to accommodate other people’s needs except myself. I understand that being an empath can feel heavy, especially when you’re an unrealised empath. But when you become an empowered empath, you no longer bend over backwards, use alcohol, pills or food to numb your pain. You stand in your truth, hold strong boundaries and heal past trauma to live an Empowered life. You realise that your sensitivity is a gift and you have the ability to help people, without sacrificing your time and energy. When we take … Read More

So many of us have a deeper connection with our ancestors. They appear in our dreams, send us divine downloads or a message is sent through someone else in human form, but you sense it’s your ancestor guiding you. I know what it’s like to lose a loved one. In fact, I’ve lost many over the last few years and it’s not been easy. However, my grandma always comes to me in different ways from birds to squirrels, her voice or even her talking to me in my dreams. I always feel her presence and feel she’s always guiding me. I know many empaths and highly sensitive people have this gift but often feel afraid to share this, as this would be deemed as woo woo or someone might say ‘get a check up.’ But the truth is there’s nothing wrong with hearing your ancestors’ voices. I’ve had many conversations with people over the years about their childhoods and how they could smell fresh bread in the house, but there was no one baking, or they could see someone but their parents would shrug it off and say they were imagining it. As children, our senses, sounds and understanding of things outside of human form is so attuned but when we go to school, we begin to lose all knowledge of self. … Read More

Imagine living your life thinking there was something wrong with you because you could feel the thoughts and feelings of others. Imagine living a lie to protect yourself from being called too weak. This is the life of many empaths and highly sensitive people who were told their sensitivity was a let down vs a gift. I’ve spent my whole life being told that being sensitive is a weakness or you need to toughen up darling. But in the end, all that caused me to shut down my emotions and not trust others. It made me alcohol and food to numb the pain instead of facing it. I believe empaths and highly sensitive people have gifts that scare most people. We can smell bullshit from a mile away, we can sense when something isn’t right and we can sense people’s pain without them necessarily saying anything. My guest has spent her entire life thinking there was something wrong with her, until she understood she was an empath. A she grew her business she realised how blocks she needed to clear to set herself free as an empowered empath.
