Why you feel drained around certain people (and how to protect your energy)


Dear Reader,

There was a season of my life when I couldn't tell where my emotions ended and someone else's began.

I'd walk into a room feeling light and leave carrying grief that wasn't mine, anxiety I couldn't explain, and exhaustion that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

I thought that was simply what being an empath meant.

I didn't yet know there was another way.

If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling emotionally drained without understanding why, this week's podcast series is for you.

Maybe you've been experiencing...

  • Trouble knowing which emotions are actually yours.
  • Feeling responsible for everyone else's happiness.
  • Giving until there's nothing left for yourself.
  • Feeling emotionally "full," even when nothing in your own life is actually wrong.
  • Losing touch with your own desires because you're so busy tending to everyone else's.

If you found yourself nodding along...

You're not "too sensitive."

You may simply be carrying emotions that were never yours to hold.

Over the years, I've come to believe that many empaths experience this when their sacral chakra—the center of emotional flow, creativity, healthy boundaries, and our ability to receive—falls out of balance.

And the beautiful news is that we can restore that balance.

This week's three-part podcast journey was created to help you do exactly that.

ON THE TRUE TO YOURSELF PODCAST 🎙️: your soulful companion for the journey home to yourself


EPISODE 043 ~ SACRAL CHAKRA REFLECTION

Do you leave conversations feeling heavier than when you walked in?

Most empaths don't realize they're carrying emotions that were never theirs.

In this episode, you'll discover the five most common signs you're absorbing other people's emotions—and why understanding them is the first step toward reclaiming your own energy.

Listen if you're ready to stop wondering why you're so exhausted and start understanding what's really happening.

EPISODE 044 ~ SACRAL CHAKRA RITUAL

Why do some people leave you completely depleted while others leave you feeling more like yourself?

Listen if you're ready to protect your peace while keeping your heart open.

What's Coming Next 🌿

This week we completed our journey through the Sacral Chakra, the center of creativity, emotional flow, and healthy boundaries.

Next week we continue our nine-week Divine Feminine Hero's Journey at the heart of The Way of the Goddess as we enter the Solar Plexus Chakra—exploring confidence, self-worth, courage, and stepping fully into your personal power through another three-part journey of Reflect → Ritual → Release.

I'd love for you to subscribe on your favorite podcast platform so you don't miss what's coming next.

With all my love 🌿,

Ananta

P.S. If someone came to mind while reading this—someone who's always taking care of everyone else, someone who feels emotionally exhausted, someone who forgets to care for themselves—I hope you'll share this week's series with them.

Word of mouth has always been how this wisdom travels.

One heart at a time.
