The Shadow Side of Empathy: Protecting Your Energy as a Light Worker

Do you ever feel drained by other people’s emotions? Empathy is a beautiful gift, but without boundaries it can become overwhelming. In this episode, Nimesh Radia and Stacey Brown explore the shadow side of empathy in spirituality and share how light workers can protect their energy without closing their hearts.

Together they discuss practical tools such as self-care, boundaries, journaling, and active listening, alongside insights from the Akashic Records.
