Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristen Schwartz.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
By the 8th grade, I wanted to be a Psychologist. I had suffered at the hands and by the words of other, and I really wanted to understand the human mind. I struggled a lot as a youth, never feeling fully at home in my body and not understanding why I felt so much around others. I finished college and graduate school with my Masters in Counseling, but didn’t fully come into what my purpose was until five years ago.
Five years ago, I had what some would call a spiritual awakening and what I sometimes call my breakdown. In the heavy fog of a breakdown, I had a breakthrough. I experienced so many AHA moments, deep truths, and areas to focus on. I came through this period of my life with clarity and understanding of how I experience the world. I gained a deeper awareness of a need for highly sensitive people like myself, to feel supported, understood, and accepted.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
I have had to embrace self-awareness and self-healing pertaining to my thought and behavior patterns. For most of my life, I operated on autopilot, not understanding why I experienced the same feelings and similar experiences that brought on the feeling of rejection and shame. As a child, I adopted the core belief of being unworthy/unlovable and most of my life I searched for the evidence that I was unlovable. It is this core belief that if I’m not present to sabotages my highest intention and efforts in business and relationships.
Realized Empath – what should we know? What do you do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Realized Empath – healing and support for the highly sensitive & empath.
I believe for an Empath & Highly Sensitive (perceptive) to thrive we must embrace self-healing. That’s why I created Realized Empath to support the specific healing needs of the empath and highly sensitive people. Through self-awareness, we see our blocks by embracing letting go; we learn to release what we perceive. By acknowledging our needs, we begin to trust and deepen intuition. By implementing boundaries, we begin to feel safe in our hi-def world again.
Other coaches who work with HSP and Empaths tend to focus on disempowering topics, like energy vampires, or needing protection from others.
I make self-healing and personal accountability the focus. I believed that when we begin to let go of what weighs us down, we start to experience the world in a lighter way.
I am most proud of my annual retreats and group programs, where sensitive souls can connect and heal.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
I define success as being in balance with our power and our peace. Truly knowing our peace (highest self) and connecting through our body (power/action) to create what we desire.
I know I’m aligned by how I feel.
