How to Care Without Carrying – Boundaries for the Empathic Healer

As space-holders, we’re often taught to care—but never taught how to protect our own energy. In this episode, Lisa McNett explores the roots of empathic over-responsibility and how to set clear, grounded, trauma-informed boundaries.
You’ll learn:
Why many empaths are made, not born
How to regulate your nervous system while supporting others
How to stay neutral, embodied, and present in any interaction
What it means to lead from vertical alignment
This is your reminder: you don’t have to carry it all to care deeply. You can serve from presence—not depletion.
Take a breath. Reclaim your energy. Let’s begin.

One Breath at a Time: How to Heal, Lead, and Live Without Burning Out

Welcome to One Breath Wisdom—a podcast for therapists, healers, and soul-led space-holders ready to lead from wholeness, not burnout.
In this opening episode, Lisa McNett shares the personal story behind the breath that changed everything—and how it led to the creation of the One Breath Method™, a trauma-informed, client-led, somatic approach to healing.
You’ll explore:
The hidden cost of over-responsibility and burnout
Why so many empaths and practitioners feel depleted
What makes the One Breath Method™ different
What to expect from future episodes
Whether you're a licensed therapist or an intuitive healer, this is a space to reconnect with yourself while supporting others. Because real care doesn’t require self-sacrifice—it starts with presence.
Take a breath. Trust your path. Let’s begin—together.
