Jennifer Moore: Embracing Sensitivity and Overcoming Addiction
Whether you're highly sensitive or not, you need to take care of yourself first before you can effectively lead others.
Have you ever wondered how being highly sensitive can impact addiction and recovery? Jennifer Moore, the founder of Empathic Mastery Academy, dives deep into this topic in an engaging episode of 'Emerge. Evolve. Lead.' Hosted by Maureen Ross Gemme, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone who identifies as an empath or highly sensitive person.
Jennifer shares her personal journey of walking into her first Overeaters Anonymous meeting in 1986 and her ongoing battle with sugar addiction, which she has successfully managed since 2003. Jennifer, a master trainer for EFT International, explains how highly sensitive individuals often absorb others' emotions and energies, making them more susceptible to addiction as a coping mechanism. She offers practical advice on setting boundaries and recognizing when it's time to recharge to avoid burnout.
Her insights are invaluable for anyone looking to harness their sensitivity as a strength rather than a weakness. Throughout the episode, Jennifer emphasizes the importance of self-care and emotional awareness in recovery. She discusses how learning to feel her own emotions and set boundaries has been crucial in her journey. For those in recovery who find themselves overwhelmed by their sensitivity, Jennifer's story offers hope and practical strategies for navigating these challenges.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides a fresh perspective on how sensitivity can be both a challenge and a gift. Tune in to learn how to turn your empathic abilities into leadership skills that can help you and those around you thrive.
