What’s happening in Your Life is a Teacher
In today's episode I wanted to share a current struggle and my pain process for moving through the feelings of shock, powerlessness, anger, triggered abandonment wounds, hurt, and sadness. I highlight how to observe vs. absorb someone else's pain for HSPs, recovering codependents, people pleasers, care takers and survivors. I hope this episode shows you how to move through your own pain vs. getting bogged down, and see the strength that is most definitely within you.
Cultivating Safe Space Within: A Meditation
A meditation for seekers desiring to deepen their connection with self and cultivate a safe space within. You count you matter, your healing is important.

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.
Snapping, Irritability, and Coping with Day to Day Mistakes
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!
Grammy and the power of choice, codependency, fear, spirit, love
Chris encouraged me to post this publicly instead of exclusively on our show's Patreon. He said it's important. Some of my more personal stories feel more contained there than on the iTunes feed. Big breath. He's right. I hope there's something useful to you in the complexity of the story. It's about love, respect, personal choice, spiritual connection, letting go while in fear & unknown, and calling & dealing with some very real shit. Thank you for holding space for me within my vulnerability & truth.
