Self-Compassion for Sensitive Women
If you’re interested in building a more compassionate relationship with yourself —research shows compassion works better than criticism to motivate change — here are a few tips to help.
Sacred Sensitivity in an Unbalanced World
With all that’s happening in the world right now, the over-stimulation feels like a bombardment. War, pedophiles, landscape altering deadly flooding, aggressive drivers, the stream of disruption that never stops coming from the White House. It’s going to have an impact on your energetic being.
Creating Safe Spaces: A Journey for Sensitive Souls
Have you found spaces where you feel as ease in your sensitive soul? I’ve found a few, and it’s felt so good to lean in and make those people, places, and spaces a priority in my life.
Building My Community As a Highly Sensitive Woman
I’m the pollinator, or maybe the queen bee. But being an introvert, it’s hard to show up like a brightly colored flower or exert the power of the regal queen bee.
Finding Joy and Peace During the Holidays —and Every Day

Managing The Discomfort of Indecision
When we sit with the discomfort—we don’t push it away, tell ourselves to move on or get over it—and we allow the feelings beneath the distress to surface, our intuition and insight can come forward.
When Empathy is Your Kryptonite
Helping others can feel good and very hard at the same time. We’re so attuned to other’s needs. We end up giving and giving, and that primes us for burnout.
Aging with Grace and Kindness
Imagine being able to accept that your body is just where it’s meant to be. And aging isn’t a judgement or failure.
The Gift of Self-Care
Making yourself a priority can be difficult anytime, but it's even harder during the holidays. This week, my post focuses on ways you can take care of yourself while managing the season's craziness.
