Embracing change and using the wisdom of the seasons as an experiential exercise to help us see where we are now as we embrace the next seasons of our lives. There is winter, spring, summer and fall. What would happen to the earth if a season stuck? Really think about that for a min. Highly sensitive people can get stuck in a season. Are you stuck in a season or are you flowing through them?

Self Care as HSPs & Empaths, limits, managing hope around Energy Vampires, listening to our mind, body, spirit as healthcare, learning from The Sopranos, and taking personal responsibility for our lives and well-being.

Nikki discusses post traumatic stress and the many ways we process it. We talk about body memories vs mind memories and the 3 F's, fight, flight, freeze, as they relate to highly sensitive people.

From loneliness to friendships, Nikki shares the spark of deep friendship, what safe & empathic healthy relationships feel like, the self care of listening intuitively and allowing the Universe to Guide us toward connection vs working hard to relate from a place of fear, loving conflict and the possibilities of deep relationships as a self-esteem/soul care practice to lift ourselves up to ensure we require ourselves to never settle for less than lifted-up.

From Louisiana & Nola roots, we examine the culture of change, fast changers, slow changers, and non-changers. How to deal with common core issue of interpersonal and intra-personal change as well as self-care, conflict, and upset. We can begin to engage in mindful soul care self talk for healthier present moment awareness and deeper insight.
