HSP vs Empath: Navigating Emotional Depths and Relationships
“We have a spectrum here on the far left are narcissists, and then, as we move to the right, we have loving empathic people. Empaths have few hearts, huge hearts, but sometimes give too much.”

Steve, along with guest Mira Minutes from her HSP YouTube channel, unpacks the pros and cons of living with heightened empathy.
