Our Story

About the Founder – Kristin Fuller, MSW, LCSW

Hi, I’m Kristin — a therapist, coach, author, and lifelong empath who has spent over 20 years helping people heal from trauma, burnout, and toxic relationships. Over the years, I’ve met so many incredible, sensitive souls who give endlessly yet forget to care for themselves — and honestly, I’ve been there too.

Empaths Rising was born from that shared experience — the moment when deep feelers realize that self-care isn’t selfish, it’s survival. I created this space as a blend of warmth, wisdom, and real-world healing — a place where empaths, healers, and highly sensitive souls can reconnect with their energy, rebuild their confidence, and rise again.

Here, you’ll find soulful journals, cozy apparel, mugs, and eBooks designed to inspire calm, boundaries, and balance. But most importantly, you’ll find community — a supportive online space where you can connect, heal, and grow with others who truly get it.

Because healing is softer — and stronger — when we rise together.

Our Story – The Heart Behind Empaths Rising

Empaths Rising began as a small spark during a time of quiet exhaustion, when feeling deeply started to feel like too much. Our founder, a lifelong empath and creative soul, realized that the world often tells sensitive people to “toughen up” instead of teaching them how to honor their depth and energy. From that realization, Empaths Rising was born as a haven for those who feel everything, love endlessly, and often forget to care for themselves.

What started as a collection of words and reflections grew into a mindful brand devoted to healing, awareness, and empowerment. Every ebook, journal, mug, and cozy piece of apparel we create carries one message: your sensitivity is not a weakness; it’s your greatest strength.

Empaths Rising exists to remind you that it’s okay to slow down, to protect your peace, and to nurture the heart that gives so much. Here, you’ll find more than products, you’ll find tools for renewal, comfort, and gentle transformation.

This is our story, but it’s also yours, a story of rising softly, standing tall, and choosing peace in a world that often moves too fast.
