Ultimate Guide to Navigating Relationships as an Empath and Highly Sensitive Person w/ Holly Grupe

Are you an empath or a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)

It wasn’t till a few years ago that I finally realized why I was feeling so much of the world in my body. Many people don’t know they are HSP and spend their lives overwhelmed by the weight of the world. Today, I am sharing a conversation with Holly Grupe, a licensed therapist, who is helping HSP and empaths lean into their gift and use it as their superpower.

If you are unsure if you are an HSP this episode is also for you as she shares what signs you could be getting. This is a beautiful gift if you learn how to lean in and set boundaries.

Being an Highly Sensitive Person is a Superpower

I always thought something was wrong with me.

Going back to 4 years old in pre-school, we were playing “duck, duck, goose” and I would get so anxious that someone was going to pick me…where all of the other kids couldn’t wait to be tagged.

I didn’t want all of that pressure or attention on me, and even as a toddler, I knew that wasn’t normal.

Flash forward two years, at 6 years old I got kicked out of Sunday school for asking too many questions about God and proof of his existence. My deep questions were labeled as “disruptive to the curriculum.” Again, I knew something about me wasn’t like the others.

My entire life I’ve had countless people mention how I see things differently, that I’m “too sensitive,” that I need to “let things go,” so I learned it was safer for me to isolate when the world’s energy felt overwhelming…but this only left me feeling more alone and like nobody understood me.

One day about 6.5 years ago, a new friend of mine who just got her Reiki Master certification, mentioned that she is both an Empath and an HSP (highly sensitive person)… I had never heard of these terms before despite my 1000 years in 12 different types of therapy.

In this simple conversation, I felt completely seen and validated for all of these things that I felt made me so weird and different from other people.

This world is tough enough as it is, but as an empath and a Highly Sensitive Person, it can feel like too much to handle. The key is to work with these beautiful traits of yours and manage them with love. Today’s episode will open your eyes to a new way of navigating that big beautiful compassionate heart of yours.

Fear around money and business doesn’t usually come from logic. 

It comes from conditioning.

In this episode, we’re unpacking how fear gets wired into your nervous system, your decision-making, and your income patterns and how to consciously deprogram it without forcing confidence, bypassing emotions, or burning yourself out.

This is not about positive thinking or manifesting harder. It’s about understanding why fear shows up even when you are capable, skilled, and doing the right things and what actually changes it.

EP 765 The Final Shedding Required for the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life

If you have been feeling restless, emotionally raw, impatient with your old patterns, or like your current life suddenly feels too small, you are not imagining it.

As we close out the Year of the Snake and prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17, 2026, we are moving through a rare 60-year transition cycle associated with identity shifts, shedding outdated patterns, and stepping into a faster, bolder chapter of life.

This episode explores the final shedding required before a major quantum jump, why this phase can feel emotionally intense, and how to stop delaying the version of you that is ready to move forward.

Instead of surface-level motivation or spiritual bypassing, this conversation focuses on honest self-reflection, releasing emotional attachments, confronting resistance, and taking decisive action so you can move into your next level with clarity and momentum.
