The Sensitivity Sessions Podcast

If you’ve ever tried to “fix” your life with the perfect routine… only to feel just as stressed the second your day starts, then this episode is for you. Routines are touted as the cure-all for a life that feels chaotic. But what about when they actually dysregulate you more? Today, we’re talking about routines from a nervous system + highly sensitive person perspective. In this episode, I break d...

What happens when a highly-sensitive mom raises a highly-sensitive child? In this episode, I sat down with my mom—the original HSP in my life—to talk about what it was really like to raise me, a highly-sensitive kid, before we had language for high sensitivity or nervous system regulation. We talk about: The challenges (and benefits) of being an HSP parent How having a sensitive kid amplifies your...

If the world feels especially heavy right now, you’re not alone. As an HSP, you're meant to feel it, and feel it HARD. In this episode, I explore why sensitive nervous systems are struggling under the weight of collective stress, constant information, and global uncertainty... AND practical tips on how to do more than just cope. You’ll learn what “being grounded” actually means from a nervous...

Happy 2026! January is a doorway. A transition point. And sensitive people feel this deeply. I begin this episode by exploring how January is a true transition point (not just the start of a new calendar year or time to set resolutions) and why anxiety and old patterns tend to flare during times of change, Later on, I'm sharing how I’m thinking about the new year as an HSP + health & welln...

The holidays are sold to us as magical experiences that only come once a year, but for many highly sensitive people they’re overstimulating, emotionally loaded, and exhausting. Why is that, and how can we actually enjoy them as HSPs? In this episode, I break down why this season hits HSPs so hard and how you can move through the holidays feeling more like Buddy the Elf and less like Ebenezer Scroo...

Health coaching is low-key the wild west—anyone can call themselves a coach, and not everyone is trained to actually coach. That’s why I decided to sit for one of the most rigorous certifications in the industry: the NBHWC exam. In this episode, I share: What the NBHWC is and why it matters in the coaching world Why I chose to pursue board certification (and what it says about my values as a coach...

Why do boundaries feel impossible for highly-sensitive people? And is there anything that actually makes them easier? In this episode, I unpack why saying “no” feels like a matter of life-or-death for HSPs (spoiler: it’s your nervous system, not a lack of willpower), and why most boundary advice on the internet fails sensitive people. You’ll learn: The hidden cost of weak boundaries on your health...

You’ve probably heard the phrase “listen to your body." But what does that actually mean when you’re highly sensitive and living in a world that’s constantly telling you to override your needs? In this episode, I’m breaking down the hidden ways you’ve been conditioned to disconnect from your body, and the very real cost of staying in that disconnected, dysregulated state. From early trauma an...

Wait—empathy's actually... selfish? In this episode, we explore the difference between empathy and compassion—especially for highly sensitive people who often feel overwhelmed by others’ emotions. You’ll learn why your nervous system is wired for empathy, how that can lead to burnout and emotional overload, and why compassion (not more empathy!) is the key to staying grounded. I’ll break down...

You’ve been lied to about confidence. We’re putting advice like “fake it till you make it” where it belongs—in the trash—and talking about what actually works for building unshakeable confidence in highly-sensitive people. I’m breaking down: Why conventional confidence hacks backfire for HSPs (and make you feel worse ). The real biological reason HSPs struggle with confidence—and no, it's not a pe...

Anxiety doesn’t always show up as panic. Sometimes it’s irritability, chronic tension, rumination, gut issues, or needing CBD + melatonin just to sleep. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own anxiety journey—from teen years filled with fear and thought spirals, to adult stress that shattered my coping strategies. I share the moment I realized: this wasn’t a mindset problem anymore...

If you’ve ever been told “you’re too sensitive” or “just let it go” , this episode is for you. Highly sensitive people (HSPs) experience stress differently —not because they’re fragile, but because their nervous systems process more, feel more, and take longer to recover from overwhelm. In this first episode of The Sensitivity Sessions , I’m breaking down: Why HSPs experience stress more intensely...
