Empaths Anonymous

Crystina Rowntree & Danielle Lamadrid

Crystina and Danielle are just your everyday black and brown eldest daughters in their thirties, embracing their cultures and trying to navigate life as the highest versions of themselves while struggling to keep it together and carry everyone else’s shit too.

What started as humorous wine nights asking “am I the crazy one here!?” turned into a deeper bond and need for bigger conversations when they realized they were the only ones hyper-aware of everyone and everything around them; only to be shocked that not everyone views the world the same, cares about others' feelings the way they do, or were willing to take a sliver of accountability – enter Empaths Anonymous, a space to cry, curse, and cuddle.

Get ready for it all — conversations surrounding mental and emotional health, personal growth, community, race and culture, and more!

Welcome to the support group, feelers!

Black Women in Wellness: Spinal Energetics and Empowerment with Shantani Moore

Empaths Anonymous

02/19/25 • 86 min

Hi Feelers!

This week’s EA meeting brings such an important topic to light in the month of Black (U.S.) History. We had the honor and privilege of speaking with Shantani Moore, a spinal energetics coach who helps ambitious millennials get paid to shake up their industry without burning out. She has facilitated for 10 years – hosting corporate workshops, training celebrities, and leading global retreats. As the Holistic Hype Woman, Shantani will help you live life on your own terms – rather than living into the life you’ve been sold.

We talk all things energy! Including...

🤨 what the heck is spinal energetics?

🙂‍↕️ WOC being honored in wellness spaces

❤️‍🩹 prioritizing REST over RESCUE

🥰 having your feelings truly held

We absolutely adored our time with Shantani both in recording this episode and in person during our collaborative Spinal Energetics session. We walked away feeling extremely cared for and loved on. Shantani offers sessions in person and online.

Turning 33: Numerology and 33 Lessons We've Learned as Empaths

Empaths Anonymous

01/08/25 • 72 min

Heyyy Feeler Babies!
Empaths Anonymous Podcast is back from a quick holiday hiatus with more reasons to party! We celebrate Danie and Crystina's 33rd birthdays with 33 lessons we've learned as a collective.
We discuss creating boundaries being empaths, asserting healthy skepticism, relationships both platonic and romantic, living a soft life, living with ease, and the numerology surrounding the significance of the master teacher number 33.
As we gracefully grow into our 30s, there have been so many things we've been forced into changing. We have learned to accept these changes AND are still learning to embrace what is for us and what is not. We hope you enjoy this episode to ring in a fresh new year.
What are you most looking forward to in 2025?
