“Art is restoration, the idea is to repair the damages that are inflicted in life” - Louise Bourgeois


In this episode, I talk about how Highly Sensitive People tend to feel overwhelm and often bypass this feeling until they burn out.

I share my experience with burnout and how I tapped into my senses to heal and recover from it.

Once we bring ourselves back to a sense of safety, creative energy is able to flow abundantly.


In this episode, I cover:

  • What are the signs of overwhelm

  • What are the emotional signs and symptoms of burnout

  • Burnout can lead to mental breakdown and depression

  • Strategies most people use to cope with overwhelm that don’t work for HSPs

  • The role of the Subconscious

  • How to get into alignment

  • How to feel safe and why that’s important for HSPs

  • How tapping into your senses is the best gift you can give to yourself

  • Creative warmups
