The Empath Who Leads: Why You Have to Tell People Off
We are continuing the conversation about being an empath. I opened it in my story, and now we take it further. This one lands for founders, content creators, influencers, artists, and anyone building a creative agency. You are an empath and you also sit in leadership, run a business, live through content creation, or hold spiritual gifts. Those gifts tend to travel together. That is the situation for me, and it might be the situation for you.
In my story I said you have to tell people off. As an empath, you have to do it. I need you to be Superman and Clark Kent. Some days you have to be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde too. Let us start with Superman and Clark Kent.
Your Cup Runs Over and People Smell It
You hold a superpower. Your cup is not full, it overflows.[1] People know this about you. They smell it on you. You stay under the radar, you hide it, and they still find you. There is no single way an empath signals it, yet people pick up the scent. For someone running on empty, you become a charging station.
Plenty of people walk this life empty. Empty as in a shell. They poured their attention into the things now eating their energy, the negative, the heavy, the bad. They move toward you to pull energy away from that. Sometimes the exchange brings balance and good. Other times they want to make use of you. Period. We all use each other in some shape, and that is not the use I name here. I name the ones who clock you, register that you are an empath, and move in for the supply.
