The New Sensitive

Welcome to “Goal Month” here on the Sunday Soother! In honor of the doors to my flagship course, An Introduction to Intentional Living, opening December 1, I’m talking all about goals this month and why sensitive women need to go after their goals in unique ways. Today I talk about what are your "parts" and how and why they keep you stuck around your goals, as well as what does your nerv...

Welcome to November, which I’m deeming “Goal Month” here on the Sunday Soother! In honor of the doors to my flagship course, An Introduction to Intentional Living, opening December 1, I’m talking all about goals this month and why sensitive women need to go after their goals in unique ways. Today I talk about codependency and how it can block us from knowing what we want and going after goals. In...

Welcome to the final episode of Magic Month here on the Sunday Soother! I hope you have so enjoyed the wonderful guest interviews and my takes on magic. In this last episode,  I talk about the magic that can be found in connecting with your ancestors, beginning to heal ancestral traumas, and finding your place in the chain of the universe by understanding your place in your ancestral lineage. In t...

Welcome to another wonderful interview for Magic Month! Today I have a conversation with Siri Vincent Plouff, a practicing witch of over 20 years. We talk about how witchcraft is a potent practice that can help to rewild us, and get us outside of the worldview of capitalism and white supremacy and build something different, and also get us tangible results to better our lives, repair our relations...

We hear a lot these days about manifestation but, uh... what exactly is it? How does it work? What does it have to do with magic? And how is it different from goal or intention-setting (hint, I don't think it totally is!)? On the podcast today for Magic Month I have Katie Jones, a Manifestation Coach, Breathwork Facilitator, and Spiritual Witch on a mission to help the world heal through the...

Hi Soothers, and welcome to another interview of Magic Month, where I'm interviewing people to help us better understand what magic is, how it works, and how you can begin engaging with it in the world. Today I interview Melinda Lim. Melinda is a multi-disciplinary witch who focuses on shadow healing and also helping the witch-curious decolonize their spiritual practices. She is also a lawyer...

Hello Soothers, happy October, and happy MAGIC MONTH!!! That's right, on the Sunday Soother, October is a theme of magic. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to dive deep into magic. What do you think of when you magic? Harry Potter shooting bolts out of his wand? A magician drawing a rabbit out of a hat? A witch stirring over a cauldron deep in the woods? Chanting spells in a dark room w...

Hi Soothers! Today I offer you several practices and exercises to step out of the self-pity cycle and step into your intentional, authentic power. Sensitive women often are stuck in self-pity as a mode of staying safe, and it can be hard for us to release it because it often feels scary to do so and step into our power. I'm here to offer you gentle perspectives and exercises on how to begin t...

In today's podcast episode, I'm talking about something a little wacky sounding: the "how" of your goal or desire actually literally doesn't matter. I teach you three approaches that show you energy, thoughts, identity, and being the person who already has the goal is the best way to go after your heart's goals and desires, not to mention more efficient and effective....

In today's episode, I talk about the concept of "the thorn" from spiritual teacher Michael Singer: the core wound around which, consciously or unconsciously, we build our lives to ensure that the thorn and its wound is never touched. While keeping our thorn safe is ultimately and originally an act of protection and salvation, as we grow, it becomes a limiting way of living, and I di...

Hi Soothers! In this week's check-in, I offer a life update of my own. What's going on with my living situation, my boyfriend, my health, my business, my *skincare*?! I tell all and share a few things happening on over here. The Sunday Soother is a spin-off of The Sunday Soother , a weekly newsletter that creates conversations around compassionate personal development and helps readers a...

Hi Soothers! Inspired by a woman who did a discovery call for Soothe who asked me, "Where do you want to see the women in this group in a year?" (thanks Sarah!) I answered: "In partnership and allyship with their thoughts, emotions and nervous system, instead of in denial or shame about them, or at the mercy of them." So that is the topic of today's episode! I discuss what...

In today's episode I talk about how we as sensitive people can stop outsourcing our emotional states and emotional power to other people and reclaim emotional responsibility and agency in our lives. I talk about why emotional outsourcing develops in sensitive people; what true emotional agency is and isn't about; and strategies for how we can more consciously choose to accept, regulate a...

In today's episode, I explain one of my core approaches to healing for highly sensitive women: inner child work. You may have heard of this concept, but not fully understand what it is, how it works or how you can begin, so I break it all down for you today. Inner child work and healing will be a cornerstone of my upcoming mastermind for sensitive women, Soothe. You can read all about Soothe...

Hi Soothers! Today's podcast is audio from a recent IG Live I did, all about how you can increase your emotional resiliency as a highly sensitive person. I think many of us sensitive souls assume emotional mastery and resiliency will never be a possibility for us because we just feel SO deeply and so much and, like, all the time, but let me tell you: it is not so! Emotional resiliency is well...

Are you ready to transform your life in one year? Then Soothe, my mastermind for sensitive women, might be for you. In today's episode, I give you all the details about Soothe: who it's for; what we'll be doing each month; the kind of women who are joining; how it will change your life, and why I created this mastermind (which, btw, is just lingo for a group that works on goals and...

In today's episode, I share audio from my weekly IGTV coaching series, Free Coaching Friday. I discuss the concept of "stuckness" that sensitive women suffer from and why this happened to you (spoiler alert, it has nothing to do WITH you or your "brokenness"!). Stay tuned for future episodes where I'll be giving a deep dive into the curriculum of Soothe, my mastermind...

In today's episode, I revisit the concept of "the gray fog" from episode 103, and I help you understand 3 ways you might have gotten there. I also help you understand why, as a sensitive person, you are actually built as an exquisite, world-changing technology, and how you can begin to use this technology both in your favor and to help change the world for the better. This is your s...

In today's episode, I give you a little catch-up on my life, how I'm navigating post-vaccine life acceleration (poorly!) and I tell about a little concept I call "the gray fog:" the state of murky fear and disconnection that sensitive women can end up in, simultaneously feeling like "I have a good life, I should feel more grateful," "And how the hell did I end up...

Do you ever try to calm down in a moment of anxiety or anger by breathing or meditating and actually end up feeling worse? You're not alone. I see people try to take care of their nervous systems with a bandaid approach that doesn't help sustain long-term wellbeing. In today's episode I discuss what the nervous system does; its different states; how we can cultivate self-compassion...

Today I tell you a simple but powerful method for dealing with negative thoughts: the judge, the prosecution, and the public defender. It sounds silly, but it super works for me, and I hope it will for you, too. The Sunday Soother is a spin-off the popular newsletter, The Sunday Soother , a weekly newsletter that creates conversations around compassionate personal development and helps readers acc...

It's been 100 episodes of The Sunday Soother!!! To mark this occasion, I'm sharing my philosophy and approach of personal transformation that I call the forest, the meadow, and the river of misery. Many of us are living in a forest without realizing it. Some of us make it to out the forest only to be faced with what I call the river of misery: the difficult experience of truly going afte...

In today's podcast, I talk about thought work and self-coaching: the tools by which you can literally learn to change your negative/unsupportive/intentional thoughts to get better results in your life. I've found these tools very powerful. But there was a steep learning curve for me in using them, and, I suspect, for other sensitive people who struggle with a larger volume of thoughts; m...

In today's brief podcast ep, I talk about two inevitable realities when it comes to your own healing and personal growth: It often really sucks and is painful for a while; and also, you don't have to wait til you're "healed" (or less anxious, or thinner, or more confident, or less wounded, or in a better job, or whatever thing you've told yourself you have to be, or s...

In today's episode I discuss one of the reasons sensitive women overidentify with work, and why that overidentification, and lack of sense of self overall, can make it particularly hard to do something like leave your 9-5 or corporate career to work for yourself or start a business. I'm hosting a workshop on removing blocks to entrepreneurship for sensitive women April 21, 7pmET, replay...
