23. How to know if you're an empath

The Quiet Warrior Podcast with Serena Low

An introvert, an empath, and a highly sensitive person walk into a roomful of strangers.

How would each react to:

• Making small talk with new people?
  
  
• The level of background noise, the lighting, the layout, the aesthetics?
  
  
• The conversations taking place simultaneously across different groups?
  
  

This week, we explore:

• The traits of an empath and how to know if you’re most likely one
  
  
• The intersection between empath, highly sensitive person, and introvert (can you be all three?)
  
  
• The gifts and strengths of being an empath
  
  
• The downsides of being an empath
  
  
• Self-care tips to navigate chaotic and overstimulating environments as an empath
