Normal Is Not Natural
On empathy, belonging and returning to what naturally emerges within you.
In this lightly edited TikTok live from the woods, Joel explores how empaths and highly sensitive people can move from receiving everyone's emotions to sending their own frequency. He shares the heart of his Emotional Evolution Theory, guides a meditation into the seat of your knowing and tells the story of his own living experiment with normal versus natural. He also names the only way to miss the mark: S.E.N., the socially enforced normal.
For anyone who has spent years seeking permission to be who they already are.
