Episode Description

Do you find yourself deeply affected by the emotions of others, often feeling their sadness or joy as if it were your own? Welcome back to "Let's Talk About Labels," a series where we dive into the labels we use to describe ourselves and others. In this episode, we’re exploring what it means to label yourself as an “empath” and how this label can impact our personal and professional lives.

Joining me again is my friend and fellow entrepreneur, Arden Evenson. Together, we unpack the complexities of being an empath—what it truly means, the challenges it presents, and the unique strengths it can offer. We listen to voice notes from our audience, sharing personal stories about empathy and the impact of being highly sensitive to the emotions of others.

We discuss the difference between being empathetic and identifying as an empath, explore the potential for emotional overwhelm, and provide practical strategies for setting boundaries and managing emotional absorption. Tune in as we navigate the benefits and pitfalls of being an empath and learn how to use this sensitivity as a strength without losing yourself in the process.

What The Funnel Brendan Kelly I grew up being told that going to a good college and working your way up the corporate ladder was the only way to be successful. Well... I tried that. After graduating from college, I applied to over 100 jobs in NYC and never even heard a single response. In spite, I intentionally put my back against the wall, moved 10 hours from home with credit card debt and no money in the bank to build a business online. Now I learn, implement and share all of the best strategies used in internet sales funnels right on this podcast. This show is for entrepreneurs and business owners who want the inside scoop on what all stars in this game are really doing. We uncover the real talk behind the scenes of the world’s best Internet sales funnels and the people who created them, so that you can start or explode your online business using the same strategies.Listen as we reveal the truth behind why some people catapult with success, and why others are left in the dust. InnerFrench innerFrench French that speaks to you.Salut, c’est Hugo! I created this podcast in 2017 when I was teaching at the French institute in Warsaw, Poland. My goal was to show my students that they could learn French naturally simply by listening to it. 30 million downloads later, I think we’re onto something!Granted, it’s not a magic bullet. This method still requires hundreds of hours of practice. That’s why I’m doing my best to make these episodes as engaging as possible. I want you to get sucked into the topics so deep you forget that you’re ”learning French”. You’ll quickly realize that you’re capable of understanding a lot more French than you think.The episodes get progressively more challenging, so I’d recommend starting from the oldest ones and working your way up. From episode 92, I’m joined by Ingrid, a French journalist and teacher, for more conversational style episodes.You can find all the transcripts at https://innerfrench.com/podcast/ Criminal Records Podcast Demetria Spinrad and Isaac Meyer Criminal Records Podcast is a history show exploring the weird history of crime and punishment, from the earliest recorded murder case to the origins of laws that are in effect today.
