Favorite Pet Picture: In honor of #NationalPeachMonth, I’ll introduce you to Princess Peach. She is currently being cared for through Lexington Humane Society. Her age and basic medical status were shared, but nothing else. If you know her fur-ever family, pass this along and introduce them.
Favorite Book Quote: Trust Your Vibes by Sonia Choquette
“Being calm is a skill that starts with proper breathing. Dr. Tully taught me that breathing deeply and regularly is not only the key to remaining calm, but also instantly connects us to a higher vibration.”
Random Favorite: Bach Rescue Remedy
Disclaimer: This is not a paid endorsement or medical advice - I’m just sharing a story about something that happened this week.
Do you know what “touched out” means? It’s when a mom has been touched so much that she has touch-overload. All my family wanted to do was cuddle at bedtime. I was gritting my teeth. This should have been a relaxing time, but I was feeling tense and on-edge. The last thing I wanted to do was cuddle. With anybody…ever again. I joked to my husband about how I was feeling and he, in all his wisdom and practicality, suggested I take some Bach Rescue Remedy. That did it! I was able to relax and enjoy my people again almost immediately.
What were some of your favorite things this week?
& a Q
Question: All the spiritual coaches say that because I’m an empath, I should end relationships with negative people. But I love some of those people. Sure they drain me and bring me down a bit. But I don’t want to cut those people off. Should I end relationships with difficult people?
Disclaimer: This is not medical, legal, or financial advice. If you need the advice of a professional, please get it.
Absolutely not. Not if you don’t want to. (Unless there is abuse going on…then, the priority is to get somewhere safe.)
The thing is, people talk about maintaining a high vibe and ending relationships with lower vibe people so they don’t drain your energy. But YOU are the one in charge of your energy - not them. They can’t take your energy without your permission. Even “energy vampires” can do nothing to you without your permission IF you are conscious of the energy exchange.
You are also in charge of your emotions. Just because they are negative or upset doesn’t mean you have to be too. You are in charge of your emotions. Now, the coaches might tell you that because you’re an “empath” you’re sensitive. Well, yes. Empaths are sensitive to the energy around them. BUT just because you’re sensitive doesn’t mean you’re weak. Your emotions are your responsibility. You are in control.
However, it sounds like you are being affected by the negativity of others. That means you have a little work to do so that you can maintain a healthy energy exchange with the difficult people in your life.
Take a look at the answer to this question (you being the “parent” and everyone else being the “child” because often, unconscious energy exchanges can model this dynamic for empaths): I am extremely affected by my children’s energy. How do I maintain the empathetic connection while not being overrun by their emotions?
You may also want to consider these questions: I know I pick up on other people’s “stuff”. You talk about sending it to the center of the earth. But shouldn’t I just give it back? and Why do I feel drained around certain family members and what can I do about it?
These exercises could also be beneficial for you as well: How do I protect myself when I’m in a space that has a lot of lower-vibrational energy?
Best wishes as you navigate loving and healthy relationships with difficult people.

I’ve finally got my website up! Each week, I’ll feature a product or service. This week, I’m featuring Stone Sessions!
Do you have problems with:
excessive scrolling on social media?
mindless eating?
always needing to be perfect - do more - accumulate degrees or other “success”?
being uncomfortable being alone?
needing to always be on the move?
having too much stuff?
having poor boundaries?
Stones, like plants (like the ones used in herbal formulas), have an amazing ability to support the body, mind, and spirit. Stones and plants just work on a different level. Herbs are great for healing physical issues. For example, mint tea can make a sore throat feel so much better! Stones work on the energetic level, so they’re great for the issues listed above, and so much more!
A stone session will allow you to talk through the issue you’d like to address and then you’ll get personalized gemstone recommendations, descriptions of how to use the stones, and meditations to go along with the stones.
Be a part of it all!
