Beth has zero time for people who play the empath card. Partly because she say’s it’s the actual human condition to be affected by other people. And also because in general the worst people play the card (hello, me) and also I’ve sat across the table from other people who say I’m an empath you see, and I think, are you? It’s the same with the card holding people pleasers (what, me again). Ohh you like to please other people? What an unusual desire of yours.
I can relate SO much. I have similar difficulties about money. I had similar grandiose ideas about bringing yoga to 'people who need it the most.' I also dreamed about teaching yoga in prison. People who struggle with PTSD or to feed their kids probably don't need yoga ... hence the classes I offered for newly arrived refugees weren't well attended. I was/am just another white woman in leggings with a saviour complex. I still feel uncomfortable around what to charge, as I know there's so much psychology around pricing and so many people taking advantage.
Yes I really dont have the answers, but it’s quite interesting to unpick a bit… lots of tangles between what we think we are doing and why and what we are really doing and why. Thank you for reading !
