Be an EMPOWERED Empath!  

You’ve heard the term but do you know if you are one?  Here are just a few signs: Do you read or feel people's emotions without even trying? Are you highly sensitive, feeling everything very deeply?  Are you known as a human lie detector?  Do you find people always gravitate towards you for help or advice?  Do you often feel overwhelmed in large crowds?  Feel overly sensitive to the news?  Found yourself in a relationship with a Narcissist?  You might be an empath!  Instead of feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and drained, Angie will teach you how to be an empowered empath so you can use these “sensing” abilities to feel confident, set and hold boundaries, become a manifesting queen (or king), and an incredibly compassionate healer and friend.   1 ½  hour class
