An Empath's Unconventional Healing Journey to Experience Connection

Book Cover & Preview Text
I shared my notes, and what my coach said next brought tears to my eyes: “It looks like you create and hold a space for authentic emotions to be expressed.”
I knew the tears revealed a truth, and yet I still felt some resistance. “Well, I’m not putting that on my website. I mean, who wants to feel their emotions?”
“With such a big Medicine comes a big shadow,” he replied. “What is the shadow side of this Medicine?”
He had me there. For most of my life, I lived in the shadow of not creating and holding the space for authentic emotions to be expressed. I learned to problem-solve, fix, plan, please, explain, perform, help, and soothe, so that I would not need to feel the dense emotional energy of others, or even the uncomfortable emotions that lay dormant within my own brain and body.
Rather than feel these emotions, and connect to the guidance they offered, it seemed safer to remain hidden in the shadow. The culture I grew up in, for the most part, was not up to the task of creating and holding the space for me to feel what needed to be felt in order to release the conditioning of the past—which made the journey of getting to know myself, and expressing my true nature, more challenging.

About the Book
What if you felt free to flow with your life’s purpose? Maybe you would like to write a book, facilitate groups, or start a podcast to share your voice, but putting yourself out there feels too overwhelming, or fatigue and frustrating physical symptoms get in the way. Alternatively, maybe you want to make a difference while expressing your gifts, and engaging in experiences that light you up, but worry that you could not support yourself.
If you have been wondering if it’s possible to realize your dreams, you are not alone. For empaths—those who feel others’ emotions as if they are their own—it is not easy to turn away from the needs and expectations of others. Many have learned to people-please, soothe, fix, perform, and problem-solve to minimize the chances of feeling the discomfort of others’ pain within their own body; however, it has often come at the expense of asking themselves what they desired.
Your community needs your empathic gifts, but what if they could be applied in an empowered way—where you can be of service while feeling free?
This collection of poems is for you if you feel lost in the needs of others, and want to breathe more fully. You’re invited to join an empath’s healing journey and explore the connection with your Whole-Self: mind, body, spirit, heart. Kelly C. Mullen’s poems, and the questions that follow, call you into spaces where you can relax and tune into your inner wisdom, so you can flow with your life’s purpose, and experience a life of connection, fulfillment, and joy.
About the Author
As owner of Whole-Self Wisdom, Kelly is passionate about supporting empaths who want to expand their circle of support and experience relief from overwhelm, tension, and exhaustion. Whether it’s through private coaching/facilitating energy healing, or facilitating groups/speaking engagements, she creates and holds a space for them to know the power they hold to free up their energy so they can create a life of connection, fulfillment, and joy.
Kelly’s unconventional healing journey began when she found herself with one foot in the world of overwhelm and exhaustion, and another in fulfillment and joy. As an empath who is highly attuned to the needs of others, she did well for herself in a 20-year career in training and development, but tension and fatigue told her it was time for a change.
It wasn’t until a life coaching certification program helped her to see that by tuning into her own inner wisdom, she could step onto the path of entrepreneurship, and apply her empathic abilities in a new way.
She has since incorporated shamanic healing, mind-body coaching, Reiki, and Tension & Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®) into her practice, and invites those who want to flow with their life’s purpose to schedule a free discovery call at www.kellycmullen.com/contact.
Kelly also offers free downloads to her Whole-Self Wisdom Ceremony Cards and Whole-Self Wisdom Meditation, which you can access at www.kellycmullen.com/gifts.
