In this episode of KimUnity Soulutions, your host Kim the SME unpacks a powerful and sometimes painful truth: how natural gifts like charisma, creativity, vision, and even emotional intelligence can sometimes be misused, misunderstood, or hidden behind survival tactics, fear, or performance.

Have you ever met someone who’s clearly gifted, but their energy causes harm to either themselves or others? Maybe that someone is you. From the charismatic manipulator to the over-performing employee, the visionary who doesn't act, and the empath who forgets themselves, Kim sees and speaks to them all.

This episode is an invitation for self-awareness, not judgment. Through relatable workplace experiences and heartfelt storytelling, Kim gently challenges us to reclaim our purpose and use our talents to uplift, not undermine. She reminds us that our energy and our presence matters, and that how we use our gifts can either build connection or contribute to chaos.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, misused your own potential, known someone who has, or wanted to help someone find a better path, this one’s for you.

✨ Key Takeaways:

• Talents can be used for good or ill; awareness is the difference.

• Performers and strategists alike must check their motives and energy.

• Vision without action is just imagination.

• Being ethical means speaking up, not staying silent.

• Empaths must remember that caring for others starts with caring for self.

• Every gift, no matter how small, can be a tool for transformation.
