The Living Jewishly Podcast

Come on Over to Hawaii

June 28, 2023 • Living Jewishly • Episode 125

“When you’re having fun, when you’re laughing, and you have something that makes your heart sing, your life is so much better.”

— Julie Starr

What does it mean to be an empath (or “super-feeler”)? And how does having a higher-than-average level of empathy affect the way that you move through the world and react to its challenges?

This episode of the Living Jewishly Podcasts is an instalment of What’s In Your Toolbox, a podcast about mental health and the tools that we use to cope, heal, and thrive. In this episode, host Bobby K sits down with Julie Starr, an author and life coach who offers private and group coaching for empathic and highly-sensitive women who are ready to overcome the overwhelm and discover how to embrace a better life.

During this conversation, Bobby and Julie talk about the importance of infusing fun into your life, how she transitioned from dance therapy to life coaching, and why she specifically chooses to work with empaths.

“My credo in life is about being of service.”

— Julie Starr
