The Empathic Entrepreneur: Recent Episodes
Anna Long-Stokes
When to resist and when to persist in the creative process? When to trust our gut or trust the advice you were given? Is fear a sign or a limiting belief? Is success inevitable? Can I make profits from my passions?
If you’re a more energetically sensitive creative or entrepreneur who’s ready to transform your sensitivities into your superpowers so that you can spend more time “in the flow” and less time in the “internal struggle”, then you’ve come to the right place! The Empathic Entrepreneur Podcast with Anna Long-Stokes is a business and marketing podcast where we’ll uncover the roadblocks that most energetically-sensitive entrepreneurs and creatives face on their journey to success and how to move past these blocks to live a purpose-driven and energetically aligned life.
Have you ever wondered how you could fuse your psychic abilities with your everyday job or business?
In today's episode I wanted to talk about the practical applications for these abilities since MOST people don't want to become professional clairvoyant readers, but they can still use these abilities a lot in their life and business.
After years of working with business owners and being friends with psychics, I've seen a number of professions that blend very well with psychic abilities (clairvoyance in particular). In today's episode, we'll be exploring this more!
Interested in honing your clairvoyant abilities? Check out my yearlong C.E.Oracle Clairvoyant training for leaders, creatives and entrepreneurs. Class starts in October!
In today's episode, we're going to dive into the topic of "responsibility". As creatives, leaders and entrepreneurs, we are responsible for many things! But when our relationship with responsibility gets sticky, it can create a lot more friction in our business than necessary.
We're going to talk about the primary struggles that empaths face when their relationship to responsibility gets sticky and how to overcome them.
Prayer:
"Hello spirit guides, can I please ask you to help me shoulder my burdens and help me with (insert what you're struggling with). While I am strong spirit, my body would like a respite from some of these worldly duties because sometimes they prevent me from seeing my own light or sharing my own light.
So it is. "

In today's episode we're talking about the three main reasons you may be struggling to find aligned answers for your next steps. When you can't find these, it feels like you're not really moving forward...even if you keep taking steps! Frustrating right?!
I hope you enjoy this episode!
We are at it again this week with more discussion about all things "clairvoyance" and "spirit". In today's episode we're going to chat about Spiritual Agreements (AKA Spiritual Contracts).
We all come into this lifetime (and our previous lifetimes) with spiritual contracts. However sometimes we outgrow these contracts or we need to dissolve them or amend them so that they are in present time with our goals based on all of the growth and change we've experienced.
Sometimes these agreements help us and other times they hold us back. Learn more about how they work in today's episode and what we can do to remove them clairvoyantly.
In today's episode I'll talk about the 3 main types of agreements that I need to help my clients modify as they grow and change.
I hope you enjoy learning alongside me this week!

Do you ever feel "bad" for no longer wanting your dreams that have come true? Or for no longer wanting what you once wanted?
At the core of psychic work is the ability to create and destroy (or transmute) energy! As an energetic creator, you may understand this on some level, but we can handle a LOT of energy from others as we go to do this.
This energy can make taking our next step more difficult, even though in our heart of hearts, we know what's best.

Hello fellow empathic entrepreneurs!
In today's episode I've set aside 20 minutes to discuss pricing with you...in particular, how your energy can (and should) play a part in how you choose to price your services.
No one talks about this! But our energy is at the core of everything that we do. We're going to talk about energetic considerations for pricing and a few ideas for solutions.
The goal of today's episode is to help get you thinking about how your pricing can be a bit more aligned.
If you'd like to hire me for a clairvoyant session surrounding pricing and all things money, I'm offering 30 minute sessions through the month of April and May 2023. Click here to book an Intuitive Pricing Call. In these calls we will read the energy of your current prices, what's potentially holding you back from changing them, and what your next steps are. This isn't me giving you advice, this is me connecting you to your source, so that you can get the answers that are already there.
And if you're looking for a quick 7 day energy cleanse, those are still underway. Click here to sign up.
Grace and Gold friends!

Hello fellow empathic entrepreneurs and welcome back to another episode! In today's podcast, I'm sharing my thoughts around you and your most valuable asset (i.e. YOUR ENERGY!)
It's easy to get wrapped up in our "good ideas" as empathic entrepreneurs, but it's much more crucial that we cultivate our energy...our energy is what brings us success...not the ideas.
This is especially crucial for empathic entrepreneurs who tend to be multi-passionate. Those who think it's a good idea to run multiple businesses at once, all the while, not understanding the energetic impact on success.
I also mentioned my new 7 day empathic energy cleanse the beginning of this episode. This cleanse is designed to help you:
- cut the things out that cause energetic drainages and blockages,
- help you shift your mindset and
- help you clear old energy that is no longer serving you
Hello empaths! In today's episode I'm sharing a bit more about how I used my empathic abilities to create and run my multi-million dollar company that I've since gone on to sell.
In this episode we talk about:
- channeling (what is it in the first place)
- downloading creative ideas from your higher self or other energy sources.
- how I went from channeled idea to successful company
- what channelling looks like in everyday life.
I've also launched my 7 day energy detox and I'm so thrilled to share it with you! Check it out here and join me for 7 days of reseting your energy body with detox prompts, affirmations and nightly meditations.
Let's get our energy in order for April shall we?!

Last week we talked about all things boundaries for empaths and this week we're talking about the consequences (i.e. what if it all falls apart!?)
Sometimes when you shift the energy enough in your body...you start to see things in a new way. What might start out as a little journey of self-discovery, might turn into some BIG changes...maybe some uncomfortable changes.
Sometimes these big changes feel very much like everything is falling apart. But what if it's actually coming together.
In today's episode I talk a bit about my personal journey into big changes (including how I thought my marriage was going to fall apart due to my exploration of energy).

In today's episode we're going to chat about boundaries!
We uncover why empaths struggle with setting boundaries (from an energetic perspective), but why establishing them is so crucial. I share some of my own stories from setting boundaries and what the consequences have been when I wait too long to communicate and enforce boundaries.
If you're ready to begin working the energy of boundaries, check out my Empathic Energy Management 101 course where we get down and dirty with uncovering your energetic truth and setting boundaries around your energy.

What is an "awakening"? In this episode I'm interviewing Zoe Whitehead (Lunar Lightworker Community) to dive more into the concept of "awakening" on a spiritual journey.
Zoe is a fellow empathic entrepreneur and shares with us her 12 year journey into "awakening" to her spiritual interests, talents and skills.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The different types of awakenings
- How we can fear our awakening
- Unhelpful dialogue happening in the spiritual community around "comfort vs. discomfort"
- How those going through their own awakenings can make it more comfortable.
Learn more about Zoe here.

We all have a unique energetic frequency and so do all the other things around us!
In life we tap into different frequencies and we are either tapping into ones we are aligned to or not.
Will you decide to program a frequency into your life or will you avoid certain ones?
In todays episode we will chat about energetic frequencies and begin peeling back the layers to uncover how aligned you are to your current programming.
Our world is full of problems...but are they your problems? As empaths, we are conditioned to take on the energy (and problems) of the world around us. Yikes, right?
Lucky for us though, very few problems are actually OUR PROBLEMS (even if it feels like it is...)
In today's episode I'm going to walk you through how to identify if a problem is yours or not. This little golden nugget will change your life and help soothe anxiety. After all, it's really stressful to feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders.
If you're interested in working the energy of clearing problems that aren't yours out of your space, then check out my Empathic Energy Management Class! Next class launches in March!
In today's episode we're going to look at the 3 main energetic reasons why habits can be hard to break or create. It's a new year and despite all of your best intentions for yourself, you might be struggling to break the habits you'd like to break or to create the habits you know will help you lead a better life.
While setting intentions are useful, that's not really setting you up for success. Tune into today's episode to learn about my three energetic recommendations to give yourself a leg up this year.

In today's episode we're going to play in the energy of the New year (Happy New Year!).
Most people resonate with using this time of year to make big changes in their life. One thing I've noticed is that most people focus on what they want, but not on what they're ready to let go of...OR they are aware of what they want to let go of, but are not fully aware of how to release it in energy.
In today's episode I'm going to walk you through how to release whatever it is that you're ready to release so that you can call in more of what you're ready to call in for yourself in this New Year.
Enjoy!

I'm so thrilled to have the opportunity to interview Lily Jones. Empathic entrepreneur of Educator Forever. She shares her 10 year long journey to following her intuition that led her to starting a company that felt more sustainable and aligned than teaching in the classroom.
I really wanted to interview Lily because not only is she a client in my Friction to Flow consulting service, she is highly successful in this individualized path she has created for herself. The best part? She makes great money and LOVES her business.
Listen in to hear more about Lily's path, timeline for success and how she uses her intuition in growing her company.

WOW, so much for trying to publish my podcast at like 11pm while I'm exhausted! If you were one of the first to listen, note that the file I had first uploaded was incomplete (sorry y'all1) This episode has been updates.
In January I am launching my Empathic Energy Management 101 class, but what is it? How is it different from other types of energy work and how exactly did I land on teaching this style of energy work? This month I wanted to do a short series of podcasts and blogs related to my journey with energy work. What led me to this particular modality and how is it different from any other method I’ve worked with? What symptoms did I treat using energy? Why do I keep doing this work (even when it’s HARD)?!
In today’s podcast I'm sharing the 2nd part of my journey into learning more about energy and becoming a clairvoyant.

In today’s podcast I wanted to share a bit about my journey into learning more about energy and learning to manage and heal the energy body. Sometimes I take for granted the journey that I’ve been on or assume that others have been following it as closely as me, but of course that is not the case! So today I’m hoping to share more about how I found this method, why it’s unique and how it’s different from many of the modalities that you might be more familiar with.
What most people don’t realize about “energy”, is that it is malleable, ever-changing and that it can (and should) be managed. In the same way you would monitor other health metrics in your body such as blood sugar and weight, your energy needs to be monitored and if spiraling out of control, managed!

Gratitude is a beautiful energy for helping you call in more of what you want. In today's meditation, we are going to explore your own personal energy of gratitude and we're going to take a bath in it! We will clear what no longer serves you and call in more of you energy and your personal vibration of gratitude. We will also set some intentions for the rest of the year.
In today's episode we're taking a deeper look at how we might be energetically sabotaging ourselves (and what the impact of that can be).
What wonderful things are you holding off on...waiting for "enough money", "enough time", "enough approval", etc to go after?
Energy can sweep in and sabotage our greatest desires...and it's sneaky and comfortable and easy to let happen.
In today's episode, I'm going to share my story about how I've energetically sabotaged myself for years and how a life-changing trip to Barcelona has helped me move past this.

Hello there! And happy spooky Halloween week! Because it is Halloween week and because I haven't spoken on this topic much, I thought it would be fun to spend this weeks episode talking about how I came into this work...ummm, it had a LOT to do with my experiences with out of body beings (i.e. spirits). This episode isn't kid-friendly and if the idea of the dead among us isn't your thing or scares you, maybe sit this one out since I don't hold back at all for this episode.

As empathic entrepreneurs, we have a keen ability to read energy and intuit our next steps. But here are times, for many reasons, when we feel the need to hire others via coaching, courses or schooling to get help taking our next steps. In today's episode I'm kicking off a 4-part business series all about being an empathic entrepreneur. When do we use our own skills and tools to obtain more success and when do we seek help? And when we seek help, where is this coming from? Is there a skillset we need that we are missing or are we simply trying to buy success and confidence for a fast track to hitting our goals?

This episode is all about the roles that teachers, gurus and guides play in our life. As an empath it's important to be aware of these three separate entities so that you have full awareness of the energy that you're signing up to be in partnership with. This kicks off the month of October where we'll be diving more into the intersection between business and leadership being an empath. Enjoy!

Have you ever heard the saying, "fake it till you make it"? Believe it or not, this saying is more than a catchy phrase...what you believe impacts your energy and whatever happens to your energy, will directly impact your life (and vice a versa) In today's episode we will uncover the relationship between mindset (beliefs), energy and your lived experience.

There are times when all you need to do to hit those income goals or targets is to follow a step by step plan and put one foot in front of the other. You purchase the business building course and you’re on your way! You follow the steps and you’re good to go! You learn how to use social media and you’re off to the races! In those times, everything feels achievable and maybe even “fun” as you work to grow your business.
But then there are other times when what you need to do to succeed is a bit more nebulous, difficult to articulate or damn near impossible to achieve.
It’s in these times when you’ve tried to follow the plan and you’ve made it through the checklist, but you’re still not where you want to be that you need to look elsewhere for guidance.
I would describe these more turbulent, emotional times in our business-building journeys as times of “misalignment” between you and your business. Misalignment is the result, but energetic friction is the cause.
In todays episode we’re going to talk about three classic indicators of energetic friction in your business. Sometimes simply becoming aware of these energies is all we need to blow past them and find that missing element or “flow” that we’re looking for.

Last episode we talked a bit about what it takes to live a more fulfilled life as an empath. One of the things that we talked about was how important the EXPRESSION of your talents and gifts is on living a fulfilled life. For some empaths, expression is enough, but for others, they also feel called to make a living off of these gifts and talents…and not only make a living, but make a business out of this. This specific category of folks are what I call empathic entrepreneurs. And since this is obviously the name of my podcast, you might find yourself in that category. The thing is, no matter what it is you're selling (services, products, experiences, etc), if you are an empath, you are selling something very very special, your energy! In today’s episode we’re going to talk about what this means for your business-building journey and why business advice that is non-specific to empaths, might not quite be working for you or sitting quite right in your space. Ready? Let’s dive in!
Hello everybody and welcome to the Empathic Entrepreneur podcast. My name is Anna Long-Stokes serial entrepreneur, trained clairvoyant and energetic mentor to the more-empathically inclined creatives and business owners.
If you identify as being more energetically-sensitive or empathic AND you have a business or are attempting to create a business, then this episode is a must-listen! First off, I wanted to let you all know that as you could probably tell, I took the month of August OFF of all podcasting!
I launched this podcast in May of 2022 and after doing 14 straight episodes back to back, I needed to take a little breather to spend more time in the energy of Summer-play. I needed some SPACE to see where I was at with not only this podcast, but with my whole business. If you can’t tell already, I don’t do business like a robot. Rather than sticking to set plans and strict deadlines, I tend to favor giving myself permission to go with the flow…like LITERALLY go with the energetic flow of everything. So when my energy told me it was time for a break from podcast-land, I listened. The space I created in the month of August was amazing. I find it’s these times where I take all pressure away from myself in needing to “create” or “do” in which some of my most exciting creations are birthed. So while my main intention for August was to chill, I ended up on-boarding new energy mentorship students, I created a new https://empathicpreneur.com/aligned-entrepreneur (Aligned Entrepreneur Consultancy) Service…a deep-seeded dream of mine that I was able to bring forth when I had set aside the space to do so and I launched a new https://anna-long.mykajabi.com/superpower-activation-training (free mini training) that is ALL about helping other empathic entrepreneurs identify their empathic sensitivities, activate them and work the energy of them so that these sensitivities feel less like annoyances and more like superpowers. And as I’m sure you noticed, I also recorded a new intro for my podcast with the musical creation and direction of my friend Josh Pinkston. He is an empath and I knew he would be the perfect friend to help bring some new life to my podcast. If you are looking for someone to help you create some custom music for your podcast, course or videos, you absolutely have to check Josh out. He didn't make me do a bunch of homework or feed him a million ideas. He listened to my work, studied my brand and channeled music that fits me and my podcast perfectly. Again his name is Josh Pinkston and I’ve shared his website link in the show notes!
Ok, back to my August story… as it turned out, what was supposed to be the month of nothing, became the month of plenty. And I did it all because it felt aligned. Never was I operating from a place of “have to” or “need to”. So as we come back together after having the last month apart, I thought it would be fitting to kick things back off with a...
I wish that there were truly some silver bullet solutions to finding satisfaction in our lives and our businesses. But the reality is that while we all strive for a sense of inner satisfaction, how we achieve that as individuals in our day-to-day lives can look very different depending on a million factors. The problem with feeling unsatisfied in life and business is that it can be hard to pinpoint why we are dissatisfied or what exactly is causing it. It can feel impossible…like finding a half-knit sweater that our cat attacked, knots all over the place and no idea where to get started with “fixing” the mess we find ourselves in. But what I have found within my tribe, the more emphatically-inclined, is that there are a few KEY FACTORS, that once applied will increase your satisfaction within not only your business, but within your life as well.

We live in a world where people are valued for their knowledge and their expertise. Take doctors vs surgeons. In the US doctors average around $160K while brain surgeons (uber specialists) earn in the mid $700’sK on average. I know, I know, we ALL want our brain surgeon to be an expert in their field and I’m sure it’s a stressful job and all that, but in general, specialists make more than generalists. While money doesn’t necessarily equate to value, it does point towards a certain preference to specialists. But, if you’re anything like me, you might have more than one passion or more than one area of focus. I spent years in and out of different fields, always shying away from sharing what I was up to because I knew that to the outsider I looked crazy. It might have taken some digging, but eventually I found my Core Theme and I haven’t looked back. In today’s episode I’m going to share a bit of backstory about my sometimes seemingly messy journey of multi-passionate entrepreneurship and how I eventually learned to package this up and make more money because of it. It’s my hope that this episode stirs up some ideas for you if you consider yourself a multi passionate creative or entrepreneur trying to make a good living in this awesome life!

You'll leave feeling seen and with a new level of clarity about what your strengths and what's in store for you moving forward!
If you’re an empathic creative and entrepreneur, you might relate to the need to follow your gut above all else. You might have found yourself in situations where you made a commitment from a place of what felt like your truth, only to then change your mind right before you're about to commit or right after you’ve already committed. While you know that it’s important to follow your gut, you’re also aware that doing so might mean that you’re required to change your mind or do a little course-correct. And while you might be ok with this, what will everyone else think? Hello everybody and welcome to the Empathic Entrepreneur Podcast. My name is Anna Long-Stokes and In today’s episode, we’re going to discuss how as empaths, following our gut might have consequences and how we can learn to embrace this quality in ourselves while doing as little harm as possible to others. AKA, pissing as few people off as possible!

There are times in life where we “know” everything that we’re supposed to be doing, to live a more abundant and prosperous life. If you’re listening to this podcast, I would bet that you’ve read a few self help books on attraction, manifesting money and the power of your mindset. These concepts aren’t new to you. But what about those times in life where your mind and your energy body aren’t communicating? Those times where you “know” it all in your head, but you still cannot for the life of you seem to shift the energy that you're in? You feel energetically depleted and downright blocked. Maybe it’s a week of bad moods, a string of bad luck or an ongoing lost sense of joy? How can you get your footing and get back into the flow of your personal prosperity? It’s actually not as hard as it might sound, and in today’s episode, we’re going to get things back into movement, so that you can continue being the powerful manifestor that you came here to be.

It can be embarrassing to admit to ourselves that we love validation from others. The warm fuzzy’s that we get when someone buys from us, likes our posts on social media or tells us what a good job we’re doing. Who would not love that, right? Liking these things is ok, but it’s when we begin to let this need for approval impact our actions, that we’ve fallen into the trap…the VALIDATION TRAP (dun dun dunnnn). In this episode we're going to talk about where this need stems from and how to overcome it once and for all! Are you an empath?

I'm really excited to be sharing this week's podcast episode with you. There is a major constrictive energy rolling through society right now around money. Gas prices, inflation and all the other dramas are front and center in the news and in energy. If you're a more energetically-sensitive creative or entrepreneur or if you identify as an empath, then you are even more sensitive to this energy than most...so NOW is the time to put a little more focus on your own space and the energy you're running and that's what we're talking about today.

This week I wanted to talk about a topic that's been really lit in my space lately (haters and jealousy!) When you're empathic, you FEEL the energy of others...in fact, you even feel the energy of others from social media. It's no freakin wonder that empaths can struggle to advance in business when every time they go to create or launch, they feel this energy come in. In today's episode I'm going to pull back the curtain and talk about why haters are awesome and why jealously is a beautiful thing. We are going to neutralize this energy since it's a fact in life. You can't control the emotions of others, but you can neutralize it and move it out of your space. Take my empath quiz https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/61ecb5ea4290f500187bb80b (here).

In today’s episode we’re going to talk about Energetic Alignment and the role it plays in your creative and entrepreneurial journey and the stop/start/stop process you may have found yourself in from time to time. If you’re anything like me and a lot of other energetically-sensitive creatives and entrepreneurs, then you probably know a little something about starting new projects or businesses, but struggling to finish them. ALL the excitement and energy is there in the beginning and you map it all out or take your first steps and then before you know what hit, you’re all of a sudden not so excited. Where you had felt propelled into action in the beginning, you now feel a heavy weight as you go to take each step to bring this project to life. Sure, it’s possible that you might truly no longer be interested, but it’s also true that this feeling of no longer being aligned is due to something else (hint hint…that something else being ENERGY!)

There are a lot of beautiful, but unconscious empaths walking around the planet with sensitivities that they have yet to understand and embrace. Without a basic understanding of how to turn their sensitivities into superpowers, they often end up living a much more challenging life. They can struggle to start businesses, complete creative projects or put themselves out into the world. All the while, rather than understanding their sensitivities, they are made to feel like something is “wrong” with them. They go through life feeling disempowered or in the most extreme cases “disabled”.

In this second episode of the Empathic Entrepreneur Podcast, we dive deep into the concept of "energy" and how it impacts creatives and entrepreneurs.
