Hi Soothers! Inspired by a woman who did a discovery call for Soothe who asked me, "Where do you want to see the women in this group in a year?" (thanks Sarah!) I answered: "In partnership and allyship with their thoughts, emotions and nervous system, instead of in denial or shame about them, or at the mercy of them."So that is the topic of today's episode! I discuss what it means to be in true equal partnership with these areas of ourselves, instead of in denial (repressing or blaming ourselves for our nature) or at the mercy of (victimized and reactive to these parts of ourselves).Stewardship and partnership in these areas will be a cornerstone of my upcoming mastermind for sensitive women, Soothe.

In today's episode I talk about how we as sensitive people can stop outsourcing our emotional states and emotional power to other people and reclaim emotional responsibility and agency in our lives. I talk about why emotional outsourcing develops in sensitive people; what true emotional agency is and isn't about; and strategies for how we can more consciously choose to accept, regulate and respond from different emotional states. Emotional resiliency, regulation and agency will be a cornerstone of my upcoming mastermind for sensitive women, Soothe.

Hi Soothers! Today's podcast is audio from a recent IG Live I did, all about how you can increase your emotional resiliency as a highly sensitive person. I think many of us sensitive souls assume emotional mastery and resiliency will never be a possibility for us because we just feel SO deeply and so much and, like, all the time, but let me tell you: it is not so! Emotional resiliency is well within grasp for you, with a little patience, learning, mentorship and creativity. Learning emotional resiliency so you can achieve the life of your dreams is a cornerstone of my upcoming mastermind for sensitive women, Soothe.

In today's episode, I give you a little catch-up on my life, how I'm navigating post-vaccine life acceleration (poorly!) and I tell about a little concept I call "the gray fog:" the state of murky fear and disconnection that sensitive women can end up in, simultaneously feeling like "I have a good life, I should feel more grateful," "And how the hell did I end up here and what can I do about it?"

Do you ever try to calm down in a moment of anxiety or anger by breathing or meditating and actually end up feeling worse? You're not alone.

In today's episode I discuss what the nervous system does; its different states; how we can cultivate self-compassion by better understanding how our nervous system works; why regulating and taking care of it in a preventative, holistic and regular way is important; and share several tips for how to do that.Sign up to be alerted about my upcoming mastermind for sensitive women, Soothe.
