Empaths not only sense other people\u2019s emotions, but also absorb them\u2014sometimes to their disadvantage, often leading to overwhelming sensory overload and feelings of confusion or low self-esteem. Their willingness to help and please others might make them prey to opportunists or cause them to give away more energy than they can afford. \n\nBut international speaker, cancer survivor, and author Anita Moorjani argues that it\u2019s possible to turn this onslaught of emotional burden into a powerful tool. In a time when traits like sensitivity, kindness, and compassion are sorely undervalued, Anita helps empaths navigate obstacles they may face and identify what makes them unique. \n\nIn this episode, May Elawar, CIIS Professor in Women\u2019s Spirituality, talks with Anita about her latest book, Sensitive Is the New Strong, as well as her life and work teaching others to harness and foster their empathic gifts in today\u2019s difficult, fear-based world.\n\nThis episode was recorded during a live online event on March 17, 2021.
