29. Empathy Without Exhaustion: Setting Emotional Boundaries
About this episode
Do you ever feel completely drained after listening to someone else’s problems? As a sensitive, ambitious woman, your empathy is your superpower—but without strong emotional boundaries, it can also leave you exhausted and overwhelmed.
In this episode I discuss:
Why high-achieving, empathetic women struggle with emotional exhaustion.
Signs you’re absorbing others’ emotions, and what to do to protect your energy, maintain your compassion, and set limits without losing yourself.
Practical techniques to set emotional boundaries without feeling guilty or disconnected.
Plus Boundary Queen is now open to help you confidently set guilt-free boundaries. Join here: https://www.aliciainspired.com/coaching/group-boundaries
