The Ambitious Empath Show: Recent Episodes
Bao Yang, Emotion Coach for Empath
The Ambitious Empath Show is about one particular topic - so central in our lives, yet often tucked away; EMOTIONS!
Host Bao Yang (that's me) created a safe space where we can talk about our emotions among others, what emotions are, how they fit into your lives, and how you can integrate them so that you can finally become the empowered and thriving empath you want to be...
Each week, (my guest and I) we'll share wisdom and experience to help you understand, take care of, and use your emotions as a powerful tool to have more time and energy to tackle your goals. Let's inspire, support, and grow together as one humankind.
You can connect with me on Instagram @bao.yang.coaching, and visit my website baoyang.coach, to learn more about your emotions.
Being an empath can also be a double-edged sword. Without proper boundaries in place, it can be easy to become overwhelmed by the emotions of others and lose sight of your own needs and feelings.
In this episode, we dive into entrepreneurship with our guest, Jennifer Moore, a former Emotional Hot Mess turned empowerment expert dedicated to supporting highly sensitive intuitive women in releasing empathic overwhelm and harnessing their inner wisdom and power.
Jennifer's decades of experience shine as she discusses her mission to empower women through her books, including "Empathic Mastery," and her deep insights into embracing sensitivity while succeeding in entrepreneurship.
Highlights of this episode:
- Dive into the portrayal of empaths in pop culture.
- Understand the challenges and strengths of being an HSP in business.
- Learn about the dangers of denying emotions and the importance of embracing vulnerability.
- Discover effective strategies for setting boundaries with clients while maintaining empathy.
- Uncover the significance of continuous self-help, personal growth, and development for empaths.

Do you fear death? Does it make you feel uncomfortable?
Death is a topic that most (if not all) people don't want to talk about, but for Nicole Kerr, it's a conversation that needs to be normalized because she believes that there's beauty beyond death.
In this episode, we have a thought-provoking conversation with Nicole Kerr, the author of "You Are Deathless," about her unique perspective on life and death. Nicole shares her near-death experience and the profound messages that she received during the time. She also discusses the topic of people's fear of death, the impact of generational trauma, and the practice of cleansing and setting boundaries to protect herself.
Nicole Kerr is an award-winning health expert. For the past 30 years, she worked in all societal sectors, including government, non-profit, military, academia, healthcare institutions, corporate settings, and private consultation.
At the age of 19, Nicole is forced to learn how to live and love differently following a terrifying and transformative near-death experience. Her memory of the accident came back 20 years later, and it has taken Nicole almost another two decades to align her soul, spirit, mind, and body, proving healing is certainly a non-linear process.
If you are ready to explore life after death, this episode is for you!
Highlights of this episode:
- Nicole's sensitivity to chemicals & energy
- Developing a chronic people pleasing out of fear and shame.
- The story of Nicole's near-death experience from the car crash.
- Harmful effects of unhealed generational trauma.
- Beautiful messages that come from death.
- The false concept of God vs. the true experience of God.
- Becoming consciously aware and embodying emotions.

Is sales and marketing a source of anxiety for you? Are you wondering why what you are taught is not working for your business?
In this episode, I challenge the traditional sales funnel approach and explore a more empowering perspective. Instead of focusing on attracting, nurturing, and converting, systems and metrics, you are invited to consider a different paradigm that emphasizes communication, staying top of mind, and meaningful conversations.
Join me on this journey as I challenge the norms and embrace a more heartfelt and intuitive approach to sales and marketing. Together, we can redefine success on our own terms and create a business world that honors our deep sensitivity and empathic nature.
Tune in to this episode and let's embark on a path that empowers, liberates, and celebrates the beautiful diversity within each of us. Welcome to a new way of doing business.
Highlights of this episode:
- Three big steps of sales and marketing.
- Society's preconceived ideas of success.
- The need for meaning, connection, and a little bit of magic.

Hey there! Welcome to the Ambitious Empath Show. Today, I want to get personal and share my journey with you. So grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and let's dive in!
When I started as an emotional coach for ambitious empaths, I thought I had it all figured out. But life had other plans. I discovered a deep passion for copywriting and connecting through words. It was like finding the missing piece of a puzzle I didn't even know was incomplete.
Making the decision to shift my business direction wasn't easy. It meant leaving the familiar and stepping into the unknown. Doubts crept in, but I knew I had to honor my intuition and follow this new path.
Here's what I've learned: entrepreneurship is a journey of self-discovery. It's about listening to your inner voice and embracing change, even when it's scary. Trust the process and believe in your unique path.
So, ambitious empaths, take your time. Rest, reflect, and listen to your heart. Your journey is yours alone, and it's okay to change direction. Be kind to yourself and give yourself grace as you navigate this entrepreneurial adventure.
In this episode, I'll share my insights and experiences, exploring the power of intuition and authenticity. Let's embrace this journey together, step by step, and create a life and career that truly lights us up.
I'm excited to have you here. So let's dive in and connect on a deeper level.
Highlights of this episode:
- Making big business shifts.
- The peace and ease of following intuition.
- The reason why I chose copywriting.
- Entrepreneurship is a path to self-discovery.
- Embracing change your way.

Emotions are not something that we totally understand. And very often, we are scared of them. But emotions are what make us human. They are part of the human experience, and the more we know and learn about them, the better we can understand ourselves. For empaths and HSP, it is particularly important to understand emotions because they are a big part of our lives.
This is why, in this episode, I will be explaining what emotions are: what makes an emotion, how do they exist, what their meanings are, and how to learn to be more emotionally intelligent.
Highlights of this episode:
- Switching off and appreciating silence
- The benefits and ways to practice emotional literacy
- Sensing a map of sensation of emotions to your body
- Proper language to understand emotions
- Doing something about your emotions to deal with it
- Different interpretations of feelings and emotions

You know the famous adage: be the change you want to see in the world. Although empaths' intentions are usually pure, they are also only human. So let's take a moment to look at ourselves in the mirror and try to be better people.
In this episode, I'll share the pitfalls we empaths commonly face, to understand where it comes from, and how you can change these matters and feel much better.

- Prioritize yourself and set healthy boundaries
- Handling shocking aggression and anger

Welcome to the very first episode fo the ambitious empath show! My name is Bao Yang and I am an emotion coach for busy and ambitious empaths/HSP.
I chose to start the podcast with some definitions. This episode is all about defining: what an empath, an introvert and and HSP (highly sensitive person), and to discuss the relevance and importance of knowing those definitions.
It is important to me to start with this topic because I find a lot of people confusing the three. I am also guilty of this. I used to think that I was an introvert myself before realizing that I am actually an HSP and an empath.
So if you want to know more, listen to that episode!

Investing in yourself greatly pays off, as practicing healthy self-care habits leads to improved mental well-being, strengthened relationships, and boosted productivity. Plus, taking time out for yourself provides an opportunity to re-energize, recharge, and refresh. When we take care of ourselves first, amazing outcomes are sure to follow!
