Show Notes
In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Hella Omega and Lukis Mac explore why so many sensitive, spiritual, growth-oriented people feel like they’re “too much,” leading them to read others, filter themselves, and dim their self-expression to avoid judgment or rejection.
Drawing from client work and personal stories, they discuss how early experiences can create “too much,” “too deep,” or “too weird” wounds, how empaths can become hypervigilant and disconnected from their center, and why discernment matters when sharing intuitive perceptions.
They emphasize that you’re not for everyone, encourage shifting from people-pleasing to self-leadership, and reframe personal power as choosing what’s aligned for you.
The conversation highlights building a healthy ego, accepting that not everyone will like you, committing daily to a focused timeline, and using practices like meditation, breathwork, and journaling to tune into your intuition and celebrate the very strengths you’ve been judging.
