This call is about sorting through emotional traffic and protecting yourself energetically. If you feel like an empath or a sensitive person, chances are you are someone who has emotional intelligence and is impacted by the energy and emotions of others. If family members or friends call you sensitive or over-dramatic, this episode with Tiffany provides guidance on how to deal with your empathic gift.

When empaths or highly-sensitive people are flooded with other people\\u2019s emotions, it\\u2019s like traffic that slows us down. It can make us more triggerable, and it takes us longer to see clearly what is truly triggering us. We have to get out of traffic emotionally. We do that by processing our own feelings and by setting emotional boundaries. So, we can be compassionate with people but not sympathetic.

The more we can be in compassion, not sympathy, the more we can keep our emotional immune system up and be emotionally healthy. If highly-sensitive people don\\u2019t process their own emotions or discern what are their emotions or someone else\\u2019s, they can be highly-reactive, a.k.a. dramatic.

When we keep ourselves emotionally healthy, we are less likely to be drained by other people\\u2019s emotions. It\\u2019s important not to isolate yourself to protect yourself. Being alone is replenishing but we all need other people. Don\\u2019t fear people or connections.

It is super important to let go of the limiting belief that you think something is wrong with you. You need to update your beliefs and know that nothing is wrong with you. You need to find your tribe.
