If you tend to internalize the stress of your partner, your clients, or the general emotional temperature of the room, this episode's for you.

In this week’s episode of The Energy Exchange, we’re exploring the difference between holding space and holding the energy.

Highly sensitive people are wired for empathy. But there’s a difference between being present and being absorbed.

We’re diving into:

• How other people’s stress quietly hijacks your nervous system
• The difference between holding space and holding energy
• Why absorption is a learned habit (not your personality)
• How hypervigilance and people-pleasing blur the line between empathy and over-identification
• Why this matters deeply for business owners and professionals
• Simple ways to interrupt the merge and strengthen energetic boundaries

This episode is for you if:

• You leave conversations and feel them in your body for hours
• Other people’s stress quietly becomes your stress
• You’ve strengthened your boundaries but still question if you’re being “too much” or “too cold”
• You’re a business owner who gets pulled into other people’s urgency

If you’ve ever wondered why certain relationships start to feel heavier as you grow, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m exploring reciprocity in relationships - not as a rulebook or a scorecard, but as an energetic reality that shapes how safe, supported, and resourced we feel over time.

This episode isn’t about cutting people off or demanding equal effort. It’s an invitation to notice what relationships feel like in your body, to understand the difference between temporarily carrying more and chronically carrying everything, and to reclaim your agency in how relationships evolve.

In This Episode, I Explore:

• What reciprocity actually means (and what it doesn’t)
• Why givers often miss imbalanced energy exchange
• How over-functioning quietly becomes the relationship dynamic
• The “in-between” phase that shows up when you stop over-giving
• Why shifts in your energy can create tension or clarity in relationships
• The difference between discernment and defensiveness
• How to adjust your availability without confrontation
• Why not everyone is meant to come along for every season
• Simple body-based questions to help you trust your internal cues

This Episode Is For You If:

• You’ve noticed certain relationships feel heavier than they used to
• You tend to be the listener, fixer, or emotional support person
• You give people the benefit of the doubt, sometimes at your own expense
• You’re learning to manage your energy more intentionally
• You want relationships that feel mutual, grounded, and sustainable

You've probably heard the phrase “never meet your heroes.”

In this episode, I’m unpacking the pedestal effect - the subtle but powerful dynamic that happens when we elevate someone else and, without realizing it, diminish ourselves.

I explore how pedestal dynamics show up in dating, friendships, work, and mentorship. Especially for empaths, deep feelers, people pleasers, and anyone who struggles with imposter syndrome. When we believe someone else is more capable, more certain, or more valuable than we are, we start managing ourselves instead of showing up authentically. And real connection quietly erodes.

I also share a deeply personal story from my own life (yikes).

This episode is an invitation to look honestly at where you may be placing people on pedestals.

In This Episode, We Explore

• What the pedestal effect really is and how it forms
• Why empaths and deep feelers are especially prone to it
• How pedestal dynamics quietly distort reality
• The difference between admiration and hierarchy
• Why pedestal relationships almost always lead to disappointment
• Warning signs you may be putting someone on a pedestal
• How to shift back into grounded, self-respecting connection

This Episode Is For You If

• You’ve ever felt smaller around someone you admired
• You tend to people please or over accommodate
• You want relationships built on equality, not anxiety
• You’re learning to trust yourself again
