Reading Wendy De Rosas book made me feel like she had crawled inside my head and begun writing from that space. Being an intuitive empath for as long as I can remember, I had always felt that no one understood me. Decades of therapy, self-help books and programs, and meditation fixed most of my brokenness, but Becoming an Empowered Empath feels like the final missing piece. I had so many aha moments of finally, someone who understands! If youre an empath, get out a highlighter youre going to need it.

This book is dedicated to empaths everywhere and to the power of our human spirits to heal, grow, and evolve together for ourselves and for generations to come.

It is also dedicated to my family, friends, students, and team at the School of Intuitive Studies, who made this book possible through their unwavering support and commitment to living their light in the world.

I n the fall of 2019, I taught a six-day intensive workshop at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. By the second day of the program, I noticed that the energy was intense due to difficult topics that came up early in the first session. As a motivational speaker, Id had more than a decade of experience leading large events, but intensive retreats werent something I did often. At times I found these events to be draining. And there I was again, the second day into the program, already feeling overwhelmed by the group energy and the responsibility that goes with the work.

The third morning of the program, I woke up early to meditate and get centered. After my meditation, I headed to the faculty dining room, and as I entered, I noticed a lovely woman at the table drinking tea. Her energy drew me in, and her smile put me at ease. I sat down, and we introduced ourselves as fellow teachers at the center. Little did I know she would soon become a teacher to me.
