Understanding Emotional Overwhelm Through "Toxic Empathy"
This week, we unravel the complex world of toxic empathy. Highly sensitive people, who make up a significant portion of the population, often find themselves grappling with this issue, as their innate capacity for empathy can sometimes lead to detrimental self-sacrifice.
Discover the role of mirror neurons in this phenomenon and why it's crucial for us to maintain a healthy balance of understanding others while safeguarding our own well-being. As we navigate the tricky terrain of toxic empathy within our relationships, the episode offers strategies for engaging in confrontations with a compassionate heart yet a firm resolve.
Tackling the pressures of societal norms that encourage perpetual agreeableness, like the "Minnesota nice," we explore how striving for harmony can sometimes stifle progress.
In this episode, we discuss:
01:00 - Understanding Toxic Empathy in Relationships
16:42 - Navigating Toxic Empathy in Relationships
Hey Heart & Soul Collective!
In this episode, we delve into the depths of what it means to experience empathy in its most overwhelming form.
The conversation begins with a personal story from a conversation Monique had with her middle son, Cole, who opened her eyes to the concept of toxic empathy.
This revelation sparked a desire to understand how our innate compassion can sometimes lead us to lose ourselves in the emotions of others, compromising our boundaries and mental health.
Monique gives us her insightful perspective, shedding light on the delicate balance between feeling for others and preserving our own emotional well-being.
Throughout the episode, we explore:
- The science behind mirror neurons and their role in emotional entanglement.
- Strategies for initiating challenging dialogues without sacrificing our personal truths.
- The importance of maintaining healthy boundaries in our relationships.
If you've ever felt emotionally drained from absorbing someone else's pain or struggled with maintaining your personal boundaries, this conversation will resonate with you.

Monique serves as our resident expert on intention setting and guides us through her experience with intention setting. We break down what exactly an intention is, the power behind it, and how it can become a means to achieving your dreams!
“It starts with a dream. I have a dream, and then it's the creative power that fulfills our needs. Whether they're about money and relationships, spirituality or love, whatever it is. When you set an intention, you're making a clear statement to the universe about the direction that you'd like to take things.”

With over 35+ years of combined experience as entrepreneurs and business leaders, Mariah McKechnie and Monique Forcer believe in the power of a Mastermind group to propel futures and harness dreams.
A gathering of like minded individuals with skilled facilitators allows the individuals to rise together towards greater goals.

Now, it is time to share the power of this experience with other like-minded women entrepreneurs and business leaders, using a thought-fully crafted framework and leveraging the individual talents and the strengths of the Mastermind members.

Monique shares about how she turns her personal experiences into lessons to inspire others and normalize the challenges we face. These lessons often present universal themes that everyone can relate to, and Monique uses these themes to connect with those in her community.
“If I had quit, I would never have learned those lessons. I would not have had self-respect. I wouldn’t have dignity in myself. Entrepreneurship is like the School of Life, because there’s just things you can’t know until you feel and experience them and they’re going to happen. It’s how you find your way through it.”
IN THIS EPISODE, WE ask Monique:
3:02 - What breathes fire into your soul?
4:00 - Who/What pulls on your heart strings?
6:33 - What is your spirit animal?
9:47 - Has there been a moment in business where you wanted to give up?
14:40 - What are you most excited about in this part of our journey?
17:10 - What is your favorite part of working with Mariah?
21:40 - Where are we traveling next?

Meet Mariah! | The "Heart" of the Heart & Soul Collective
Today’s episode is all about Mariah! She is not only an amazing friend, wife, and mother, but also a multi-business owner with years of expertise. We explore more about Mariah including what motivates her, how she maintains a positive work environment, and where she draws inspiration from.
Mariah shares more about how she has evolved through the work she has done and through the support of other women in her community. We reflect on how sometimes success stems from finding comfort in the discomfort of day to day expectations, and how to support others to do the same.
“It's all about that balance, balancing act between going after your goals, but at the same time giving your self grace or taking the pause moments where you can rest, recharge, restore yourself, so then you can do all of the things right”

What is a Mastermind? | A Look Inside the Heart & Soul Mastermind
Have you ever asked yourself the question: what the heck is a mastermind?
Years ago in the 1920’s, Napoleon Hill describes “the mastermind principle: two or more people actively engaged in the pursuit of a definite purpose with a positive mental attitude constitute an unbeatable force.”
On today's episode, we are going to unpack what is a mastermind - something that Monique and Mariah know very well. It is the background of this entire podcast and how we got here today. A “mastermind” seems to be a buzz word that has been showing up more and more, but what does it really mean?
Monique and Mariah explore their experiences uncovering the true meaning of a mastermind through their work with other female entrepreneurs creating a community of support and motivational leadership.
“Your needs can be different from your neighbors needs, which could be business related. Yours could be personal, yours could be your kids. Who the heck knows? But that's what we wanted to foster is that openness to be able to speak about whatever it is, whatever you might need.”
In this episode, we cover:
01:41 - The mastermind principle
02:33 - Mariah’s journey towards mastermind
04:47 -Monique’s journey towards mastermind
08:42 - Applying the mastermind principle
12:20 - The Heart & Soul mastermind
34:08 -Creating the Heart & Soul mastermind
42:27 - Joining the Heart & Soul mastermind
