Welcome, Gentle Souls
Do people repeatedly tell you that “you think too much,” or are “too sensitive”?
Do you absorb other people’s emotions? Find it difficult, at times, to distinguish your emotions from what people around you are feeling? Because you can’t dial down your heart and mind, do you wonder, “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I think and feel less?” Do you wonder how you’ll survive this (often) callous world?
I know this dilemma well and offer you this feedback:
-
There’s NOTHING wrong with you! In fact, this world needs thoughtful, empathic people.
-
Trying to turn your heart and mind down doesn’t work—this is like a dog trying not to bark. Denying your authentic nature doesn’t work.
Instead, don’t change. Instead, honor your proclivities and protect your innate gifts. The world needs more of you, but you must care for yourself first.
The good news: you can do more than survive. You can thrive.
My story in a nutshell: Like most Gentle Souls, I grew up feeling defective, always looking for the fix. In 2006, a “new friend” introduced me to “other new friends” who were “studying ideas.” In 2011, I stumbled out of a secret mom-and-pop cult. This misadventure devastated me until I left, accepted my feeling heart and thinking brain, and started protecting my time, energy, and focus. Then those “vulnerabilities” became strengths.
Gentle Souls often doubt ourselves while extending the benefit of the doubt to others, on principle. Our default wiring is to believe that people are good. So, the grifter mindset—relationships are transactional—is inconceivable. Cons target Gentle Souls. Your goodwill makes you vulnerable unless you are protecting yourself.
Step by step, I took my mind back when I stopped protecting the cult’s secrets, and I took my life back by protecting my time and energy from grifters. My mission today is to share the lessons learned from “school” with others. My raison d’être is to facilitate your self-empowerment and reclamation.
So, welcome to The Revolution! I look forward to our collaboration.
