Simple grounding techniques to help you center mind and body - Part 1
What grounding is, and simple exercises you can do right now to ground, calm, and center mind and body. With practice, we let go of hypervigilance and teach ourselves how to feel safe.
The Pitfalls of Hypervigilance
We explore the pitfalls of hypervigilance & continued anger & outrage in advocacy, especially for people who are working to heal trauma & struggle to keep the body in a state of calm. To thrive as empaths we must understand how we react & take radical ownership over the state of our own mind-bodies. This year has shown me that the work of emotional boundaries & radical permission to do what's necessary to heal--even when it's unpopular--has never been more important.
Bob Ross Energy for Fatigue & Stress Management

We dive deep into some of his favorite sayings and unpack the wisdom of 'no mistakes, just happy little accidents.' Light and love, Nikki
Coping Strategy Meditation for stress management and flow
I'm excited to share with you a passage from a favorite healing book by Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the Light. It inspired a meditation I wrote to help us flow when life throws obstacles in our path.

I hope this episode and meditation help you feel how powerful you truly are and how you can learn to use your energy & power to flow around, through, above, below, and beyond.
4 Self Care Strategies to Mindfully Check In
Hello Tribe! Today we break down what it means to check in with ourselves & grow mindful muscles to take the very best care of deep, expansive selves. A little intuition vs. anxiety, internal vs. external, and oldie-but-goodie borrowed from Alcoholics Anonymous sayings, HALT: exploring Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired, as a check in strategy. Sometimes it's the simple things that go over our heads or we can over complicate as Highly Sensitive People.
Negotiation Avoidance and Highly Sensitive People
I've had negotiation on my mind, Ya'll. Negotiation. It's as inescapable as grief and we get just as much education in how to do it. Zilch! Nada! Nothing! Sensitives and Survivors can really struggle in the face of the vibes that come from hard-ball negotiation tactics. I hope this week's episode helps shine light on the areas we can own and grow to become better negotiators in life.
What I do when I don’t know what to do
Those of us in the Highly Sensitive Tribe can be so so hard on ourselves. I've learned over the years that HSPs and survivors tend to double down on personal pressure to 'just figure it out' when figuring it out might not be on the table in any given moment. This week's episode is about THAT--I share what I've learned to do when I just don't know what to do. Hope you enjoy it! Light and love!
Burnout, Compassion Fatigue, and Denial
Let's talk about burnout compassion fatigue, compartmentalization and denial. Therapists are taught about burnout before we see our 1st patient. lots of you know about burnout. I like the physical definitions of burnout to explain how it feels emotionally. "The failure of an electrical device or component through overheating. physical and mental collapse."

There’s so much for us to learn by observing our relationship to irritability, anxiety, and making mistakes as we evolve, break cycles, and grow emotional intelligence for introverts and extroverts. I hope there’s something in this episode to help us own what needs owning and help us let go of what doesn’t serve us. Might want to pull out a journal for this one!
