In this episode, Melissa speaks about the highly sensitive nervous system and why sensitivity is so often misunderstood. She shares how sensory processing sensitivity is an innate trait, not something to fix, and how a finely tuned nervous system is designed to scan for safety, meaning, and connection.

Melissa explores the impact of stress, performance culture, and constant stimulation on sensitive nervous systems, and why so many highly sensitive people feel overwhelmed or unseen. Breath is offered as the bridge back to safety, regulation, and inner rhythm. Through slowing the breath, the nervous system can soften, the body can relax, and clarity can return.

This episode is a gentle reminder that your sensitivity is not a flaw. It is a form of intelligence and a depth of caring. Also what it means to have a highly sensitive nervous system, how sensitivity is often confused with introversion, how stress and sensory overload impact sensitive people and why breath is essential for nervous system safety and regulation.
