The New Sensitive

Hey Soothers, I know many of you out there are spiritually curious folks, but not sure where or how to start deepening this sense of connection and sacredness in your life. To help you out, today I've recorded a podcast containing seven simple ideas that will help you spark your spiritual connection. They're all free, they're all easy, and most importantly, they're all fun and...

Hey there, Soothers. Today I go on a bit of a rant about something I see that can really frustrate me in empaths and highly sensitive people: when we go into passive, roll-over, woe-is-me, "I can't do X because of Y" mode, or "I can't do X until I have Y" mode (especially around money). This type of thinking is so limiting to achieving our dreams and living our fulfil...

Following up on last week's podcast episode where I shared the financials and practical how's of how I bought my 250-year-old nature witch cottage, this week I dive into the magical and energetic aspects behind the process. Tune in for how I tapped into intuition, magic, energetic techniques and manifesting processes that brought this magical house into my life. I learned so much about m...

In today's podcast, I delve into the behind-the-scenes of the purchase of, as I like to call it, my "nature witch cottage" — a 250-year-old home in a town of 100 people in western Virginia. This was a dream many years in the making and there's a lot behind it and I detail it all. I share the financial details, how I got the money for the down payment, the aspects of generationa...

Hey Soothers! In today's short but sweet podcast, I remind us at the start of the year that all good change takes time. In fact, every major change I've succeeded at, every goal I've achieved, has been 2.5-3 years in the making and I talk about that today and how to nourish the (seemingly too long!) cycles of change in your life, too. Want to give me feedback about a Sunday Soother...

Hi Soothers! Happy new year! In today's podcast, I share what my word for 2023 is; the Tarot cards that are the foundation of my coming year; and 7 fun goals I am setting for the year ahead. Ready to set your goals in a heart-centered, aligned way? Join me for my annual Intentional and Intuitive Goal-Setting Workshop , Wednesday, January 4th, 8-9:30pmET (lifetime replay provided). Settle in w...

Hey there, Soothers, and happy end of the year. Today I want to expand on something I wrote recently in the Sunday Soother: to explore why gratitude can be very complicated or even impossible right now for some of us, not from a mind-based perspective but from a nervous system perspective that will hopefully give you some understanding of how and why you work and why you are not selfish or broken...

Hi Soothers! In today's podcast episode, I talk about the concept of dominating and improving and fixing the self, vs. stewarding and tending to and nourishing the Self. This is a bit more musings on my recent Sunday Soother essay, We Don't Own, We Steward, which you can read here . Owning means trying to "fix" ourselves so we can be something "more" — more efficient,...

Hi Soothers! Soothe, my year-long mastermind for highly sensitive women, closes for enrollment on December 22. There are six spots left; is one of them yours? Book a call here to find out . And today, to help you learn more about past participants' experiences in Soothe, I have on Hilary and Afua, who were in a small group together in Soothe last year.  We talk about the joy of finding other...

Hi friends! This week, my year-long group coaching program for highly sensitive women, Soothe, opens to the public for enrollment. And to celebrate, I wanted to bring you an interview with some of the members of last year's Soothe!  This week, we have a roundtable interview with most of the women who made up the Thursday small group from the 2022 round of Soothe. Lynn, Jamie, Page, Blythe and...

If I know anything about my Soother audience, it's that you love to set you some goals. And I'm with you! Goal-setting is one of my talents. And, at the same time, as I've delved more deeply into alignment, energy, and connecting with my heart's desires, there are some things about goal-setting I've discovered that can actually be blocking us from achieving our heart'...

Hey Soothers! As you might know, I'm wrapping up 90 days off alcohol (and caffeine and gluten as well). I've talked about this previously on the podcast and written about it on the Sunday Soother newsletter, and today, I invite on past Soother guest and all around delightful person Jillian Anthony, who recently did six months without alcohol, for a conversation around this topic. Jillian...

Hi Soothers! Have you ever heard about energy work, energy clearing, grounding or protection and wondered exactly, uh, what it is, how it works, and how you can start doing it? Today your questions are answered, as I have a lovely, in-depth interview with Missy Toy Ozeas, an energy worker and intuitive I work with on a regular basis and who teaches energy work and protection methods to highly sens...

Hey, Soothers! This week I dive deep into one of my favorite self-reflective and spiritual practices: Reading and connecting with Tarot cards! On today's podcast I share a little bit of my journey to discovering Tarot; how exactly I use it these days; and how you can begin or deepen your relationship with Tarot too, whether you do it for spiritual reasons or simply as another tool to add to y...

Hi Soothers! Today I'm joined by my upcoming New Year's Eve retreat co-host, Kelly Barrett. This will be the third retreat that Kelly and I have led, and we'd thought to celebrate, we'd share our own transformative experiences with retreats we've been on, the reasons it's so lovely and nourishing for hyper-responsible HSPs to go to a retreat where literally everything...

Happy Sunday, Soothers! This week, I had a massive realization, which was also like, obvious, but sometimes it lands different, ya know? Anyways, the realization: I am the first female entrepreneur in my entire lineage (that I'm aware of). I am also the first unmarried woman in my entire lineage (that I'm aware of). I paired the two realizations and it hit me like a ton of bricks: I am m...

Hi Soothers! Today I talk about what it means to build and create and repair a relationship with the most important person in your life: yourself. I share why it can be so hard to know ourselves, our own desires, who we are, and give five practical tips on how to begin re-building and re-discovering this relationship with our Self, because it is totally doable. I'm hosting a New Year's r...

Hi Soothers! This week, I and the 26 women in the first-ever cohort of Soothe close out our year together. As we do so, I was reflecting on my biggest lessons on healing and takeaways from this powerful group of incredible people; their vulnerability, their willingness to love themselves, and more. Here are seven of the most powerful lessons about healing I've learned from them, from my own e...

Hi Soothers! If you're a highly sensitive person, you looooove context and all the information possible. So allow me today to give you tons of information around Soothe, my 2023 mastermind for highly sensitive women. I'll walk you through exactly what happens from the second you sign up for the waitlist, to how you can enroll and what that process (including payment, preparation, etc) lo...

Today I explain what a mastermind is and why especially highly sensitive women should consider joining one as part of their healing process. We can often be hyper-independent -- we can do it all alone! We don't need help! -- and groups like masterminds, where we come together with other like-minded souls for healing and growth and accountability and love and BEING SEEN as we ARE, not as we th...

Hi Soothers! Today I try to connect the dots amongst two seemingly disparate things: The characters Vecna and Max from the TV show Stranger Things, and how to fight for your self-worth. Spoiler alerts for the show abound, and even if you've never watched Stranger Things, I hope this metaphor I share will land. Join the Soothe September Workshop Series! Each Sunday I'm hosting a workshop...

Hi Soothers! Today I riff on goal-setting. I'm a Capricorn with a Virgo stellium: I LOVE to set me some goals. But as I've shifted more into my feminine energy I've started to think about what goal-setting can look like from a more relaxed, spacious approach, rather than a lot of DOING in going after the goals. So today I set up a little mini workshop, so bring a pen and paper. We&a...

Hi Soothers! Ready to try a fun experiment: A release control rest of September? In this episode I talk about what it tangibly looks like to release control, how you can begin to do it, and a few tactical ways to begin experimenting releasing control in one or more areas of your life this month. Highly sensitive women can really struggle with needing to be in control/do all the things out of a sen...

Remember the episode I did earlier this summer about how to get more of what you want in your life? (Episode 170, if ya need to go back and listen.) Well, I think the approach I talked about works for something all of us want more of in our live most of all: time. In this quick hit episode I talk about how to get more time in your life, and it has nothing to do about prioritization, calendaring ha...

Hey Soothers! Today I'm sharing a goal I am embarking on starting September 1: Going three months without alcohol, gluten or caffeine. I talk about why I'm doing it (reasons include PMDD, anxiety, health, and oh yeah, maybe some magic?) and how I plan to do it, and am sharing all of this here for some extra accountability and support around this! I'm not doing this to try to "c...
