Reigning in Your Divine Purpose: Empathy vs. Excuses

Ever felt torn between your empathy and your responsibilities? I've been there! The key is to remember your past decisions, and your intentions behind them, and align them with your future actions. Stick to clarity, and don't dwell in the gray zone of indecision. It's a tough, but necessary, balance to strike.   #SticktoClarity #EmpathyorExcuse   In this episode of the Crown Yourself podcast, Kimberly Spencer, the founder and mindset coach, discusses the difference between empathy and using it as an excuse. She shares personal experiences, highlighting the importance of recognizing feelings as somatic experiences and not attaching too much meaning to them. Kimberly also talks about the significance of keeping commitments, prioritizing values, and not letting feelings dictate actions. She encourages listeners to examine their boundaries and use empathy as a tool for action, not an excuse for inaction.   Enjoy, sovereigns!   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast listening platform.
