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.

Ep 780 $10K Months in 2026: 3 Decisions to Make it Happen

If you’ve been trying to make consistent $10K months online but your income still feels inconsistent, unpredictable, or harder than it should be… this episode will change how you approach your online business.

Because there has never been a better time to make money online.
With billions of people consuming content daily and most buyers discovering services through social media, content marketing, and online platforms, the opportunity to attract clients, grow an audience, and generate consistent monthly income is already built in.

So if you’re not hitting consistent $5K, $10K, or multi-5-figure months yet, it’s not because you need more information, more courses, or a more complicated business strategy.

It comes down to a few key decisions most entrepreneurs avoid—and the lack of consistent execution behind them.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 decisions that separate inconsistent income from predictable $10K months, and how to apply them to your content, offers, and sales process so you can start making money online more consistently.

Ep 778 The Emotional Side of Launching No One Talks About (The Truth about Selling Your Offers!)

Launching an online program can look exciting from the outside. The announcements, the social media posts, the excitement of welcoming new clients into your world. But behind the scenes, there is an emotional side of entrepreneurship that almost no one talks about.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it actually feels like to launch and sell your offers online while you are in the middle of doing it. Because the truth is that building an online business and promoting your work can bring up far more than just marketing strategy. It can bring up vulnerability, pressure, self-doubt, and the quiet mental stories entrepreneurs create when they are putting something meaningful out into the world.

If you are launching a course, coaching program, membership, or digital product, you have likely felt some version of this. The emotional rollercoaster that happens while you are selling your offer online. The moment where you wonder if you explained it clearly enough. The moment where you check the numbers and your brain starts creating stories about what it means.
