Regina Carey joins me on The Prosperous Empath® this week for a truly heart-centered conversation about neurodivergence and how it is often interconnected with being an empath and/or HSP. Regina is a special ed teacher turned Executive Coach who has spent the last three decades educating, empowering, and advocating for those who feel stuck, yet long to take that next great leap. Recently, she returned from an adventurous trip to Machu Picchu and shares her experience of how saying yes to physical challenges has helped her balance intense emotions as an empath. But something I deeply appreciate about this conversation are Regina’s insights on neurodivergence, especially ADHD, and the importance of managing energy and advocating for oneself. Regina reflects on her upbringing and the influence of the women in her life, emphasizing the need to break patterns of burnout and dis-ease to live authentically. This episode is for anyone who is neurodivergent (or loves someone who is) and is seeking energetic balance in their life. Tune in for actionable steps on thriving more as an ambitious empath.

Topics:

• How recognizing energy is everything is the thing that has made the biggest difference for Regina in thriving as a Prosperous Empath®

• What “micro-recoveries” are, why they are better than self-care and how they can help you stay in positive, balanced energy 

• The connection between neurodivergence, empathy, high sensitivity, and entrepreneurship and how you as a coach, friend, or partner can support

• Understanding common comorbidities of neurodivergence and how you, as a coach or service-provider, can support your clients in being understood 

• Learning how to advocate for yourself and use your voice to ask for what you need, avoid overwhelm and foster more processing time 

• Why, as empaths, we must learn to care less about what others think of us in order to find and pursue our own purpose in life
