Rise & Realign: Conversations for the Sensitive Soul

Relationships are one of the most revealing mirrors for the highly sensitive woman. When we are overloaded, taking in more stimuli and feeling more deeply, we may recognize patterns that others cannot yet see. But the more bogged down we are, the less aware we become of the patterns we are engaged in, the patterns others carry, and the ancestral patterns that are still moving through us. In this c...

The number 22 holds deep meaning for my family. It is a master builder number, about illumination and coming together. But more importantly, it reminds me of my brother, who passed in 1990, and the special place he holds in my heart. In this episode, I share the story of my spontaneous spiritual awakening in 2008. I was living a materialistic life, checking off the boxes of the American dream, fee...

Our nervous systems are constantly interacting with the world around us. The air, the water, the food we eat, the spaces we move through each day. When you have a more finely tuned central nervous system, you may feel those influences much more quickly and more intensely. This episode is part of Podcasthon , a global initiative where podcasters spotlight nonprofits making a positive difference. Th...

This is part eight of the Highly Sensitive Series, titled "Accessing Your Deeper Self." It is the second part of the spirit series. In this conversation, I speak to the "vinyl records" playing under the surface of our minds. These are the early programs, the beliefs we absorbed without choosing, and the patterns that direct our lives even when we don't realize it. Companion Blog Article  High...

This is part seven of the Highly Sensitive Series, titled "Reconnecting Heart and Spirit: The Journey Home." It is the first part of the spirit series.

Companion Blo...

This episode is part two of the Highly Sensitive Series. It is called "Unraveling Old Beliefs," and it is where I feel my biggest contribution has been. Raising awareness about the high sensitivity trait matters because it gives us the opportunity to reframe our past experiences from a new lens.

This episode marks the beginning of a special series dedicated to understanding the high sensitivity trait. I speak to the contrast in the world and the importance of tending to our own nervous systems, especially when we are exposed to news and topics designed to induce fear. I share my own journey from being an "overprotective mom" driven by fear to understanding that my high-strung nature was a...

The word sensitivity is used in so many different situations, and it is often misunderstood. I have been called to continue talking about this trait for close to fifteen years, teaching about it for over a decade. It started not as a personal exploration, but as a mother trying to understand my second-born, who resisted many things and was difficult to understand. That is when I first learned abou...

It is January 7th, and many people are celebrating the change of calendar by setting resolutions and goals. But here is what I want to offer: January 1st is not actually the start of new energy. If we look to what is natural, the Chinese New Year does not fall on January 1st. New birth and new growth happen in March. If we align with what is natural for the earth and for our bodies, the Gregorian...

This recording is on December 31st, the last day of the Gregorian calendar. This time of year can bring up things for all of us, but especially for those of us with a more finely tuned nervous system. We feel more, we sense more, we think on things more. There is just so much that can be overwhelming to our systems during the holidays. In this episode, I speak to the spiral of healing. I talk abou...

There is a striving that comes along with having this design. You can feel when things are off. You can feel the discomfort. You can feel the tension. And from that depth, is what inspires strategic thinking, creativity, and conscientiousness. But we cannot just keep pushing through. We cannot ignore our body's messages just because we feel things so deeply. In this episode, I speak to the automat...

Today, I am speaking from my heart about the depth of caring that defines the sensitive soul. It is the beautiful, tender, and loving way we experience the world. It is why I call my children "sweetheart," and why I am amazed by how deeply caring my children and the people in my life are. In this episode, I explore the complexities of being a sensitive soul in a culture that often doesn't understa...

Growing up in the seventies and eighties, the message was clear: if you have a symptom, you go to the doctor, and they tell you what they think it is and what they think will help you. What we were not raised to understand is that what we call symptoms are communication from our body. They are messages for us to tune in and listen to. In this episode, I share my own journey of learning to listen....

Today has been quite an interesting day for me personally. And what I keep coming back to is how my life's journey has been a culmination of what fascinates me, what calls me forward, and what frustration or friction I experience along the way. In this episode, I explore the shift from "why is this happening to me" to "what is happening within me." I talk about the brick in the backpack we carry w...

This conversation began with a reflection on judgment. When we do not understand ourselves, and when we are surrounded by others who do not understand themselves, judgment forms. Fear gets tapped into. And when we do not understand why someone else is doing what they do, believing what they believe, or thinking what they think, a divide arises. In this episode, I share the metaphor of the high-ris...

This recording is about ten hours before the new moon, and it has brought up a lot for me personally in the past forty hours or so. As sensitive women, we may not always be aware of how the lunar phases are influencing us. I know I wasn't for most of my life. But when I began to understand that our bodies are roughly seventy percent water, and the planet is covered in roughly seventy percent water...

A year ago, I was reflecting on the experiences that left me feeling icky as a sensitive woman. The fear that I wouldn't be accepted or liked. The ways I contorted myself to fit in, to be welcomed, seen, and heard. And the question that has guided me ever since: Where can I just be myself? In this episode, I share what it means to reclaim your authentic voice, especially as the holidays approach a...

A year before I pressed record, I felt the inspiration to create a podcast. It sounded quick and easy. It wasn't. I was met with frustration at every turn, the tech, the pieces, the process. And then, on a morning walk with my son, I tripped and landed on my face. I spent that weekend in pain, using ice and red light therapy, and being open and curious about what this was really about. And I got i...
