After being away from the mic for 3 months and just back from a recent return trip/retreat to Kripalu (Awakening Magic with Elizabeth Gilbert and Dr. Terarai Trent), it feels good to return.

Though I had a pre-determined episode to share this past week, I instead took the time this week on the podcast to anchor in the moment of return and invited in the space to welcome and wonder and to notice to whom and to what we return to when we are back from something, somewhere or being with someone.

I also dropped some info on an upcoming online program I am hosting with Nicole Schiener that you may be interested in joining wherever you may situated.

You can join the waitlist before doors open to’ Caring Without Carrying It All’- a 4 week online program throughout the month of November 2023 offering you a soft place to land to honor your sensitivity and capacity.

Send me a DM or email julie@juliecusmariu.com to be added to the waitlist.

Listen to Alane Freund, for the 2nd time on the podcast, help us navigate these uncertain times, back to school season and living with uncertainty, so that we can manage, normalize and honour our sensitivity and even thrive.

Listen for Alane’s wonderful insight, candor, support, experience and of course sensitivity. A lot was covered including what having this trait of high sensitivity looks like in people, how you can manage your exquisite, finely tuned nervous system, emotional leadership, the critical importance of boundaries, taking retreat and how to do that when circumstances/resources are limited, creative ways you can create a village of support (even in a pandemic), self-care and how you can transform your sensitivity into your superpower.

Alane Freund is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, an international consultant on high sensitivity (who works closely with Elaine Aaron, author of The Highly Sensitive Person and The Highly Sensitive Child), an equine assisted psychotherapist and a phenomenal person to have a conversation with. Have you taken the HSP self-test? Try it here.

“The power of empathy & intuition will open your heart and empower your life”. Dr. Judith Orloff.

What does it means to be an empath? Do you identify as one? What’s the difference between ordinary empathy and being an empath? Take Dr. Judith Orloff’s self-assessment quiz ARE YOU AN EMPATH ? to answer these questions. Then consult Dr. Orloff’s question and answers for more insight and support on the subject.

Dr. Judith Orloff, a pioneer and leading voice in the fields of medicine, psychiatry and intuitive development masterfully offers strategies and practices to help empaths thrive.

I first interviewed Dr. Judith Orloff in 2009, on my podcast when her book Emotional Freedom was released.
I’ve LOVED and benefitted immensely from reading all her books over the years and listening to all her audio courses. A healing, visionary, wise voice that has deeply impacted me and so many others. Here is the first conversation I had with Dr. Judith Orloff.

It was a beautiful experience speaking with Dr. Judith Orloff on the podcast for the second time, 11 years later. Her dedication and committment to empowering empaths to thrive is incredibly palpable.

In her presence, (though I’m in Montreal and she’s in LA), there was an energy transmission received  that is wise and compassionate and both tender and strong.

You can listen to my most recent conversation with Dr. Judith Orloff here.

Listen to our conversation share it with the other empaths and friends in your life. There’s lots to take with you. Come back here and share what you received in the comments.

The post Are you an empath? Do you want to value your sensitivity and empathic nature? Listen to this podcast conversation with Dr. Judith Orloff, psychiatrist and self-identified empath for insight on honoring your sensitivity. appeared first on Julie Cusmariu.

Listen for the intuitive readings and how you may find clarity or an answer to a question you may be having at this time.
Here’s to inspiration and support on your journey through motherhood, womanhood, parenthood and the experience of being human. It takes a village. Let’s create one.
