🌙 Replay: Cold, Dark, & Sensitive Souls

Mercury retrograde, time changes, and gray skies — oh my!In this candid and cozy chat, Sam of Wandering Willow and TeriLeigh of HUSH ~ Highly Unapologetic Sensitive Humans dive into how sensitive and neurodivergent souls feel the shift into the darker season. From tech glitches to chilly bones, they explore what it means to move gently through late autumn’s sensory overload.

Together they unpack why this season can feel extra intense — brighter headlights, louder noise, sharper air — and how our bodies and nervous systems crave softness, warmth, and slower rhythms. Sam shares about taking the Monotropism Questionnaire and the insights it gave her into her own sensitivity, while TeriLeigh describes how even the cold can be a mirror for how we process the world.

This chat is equal parts laughter, empathy, and validation — a reminder that you’re not alone if you’d rather cocoon under a weighted blanket right now.
