In this episode, Melissa speaks about the felt sense of being highly sensitive and what it means to live with a nervous system that notices more, processes more, and cares deeply. She explores how sensitivity shows up through interoception, the body’s inner communication, and how pushing through life while ignoring that felt sense can slowly disconnect us from what is truly best and most aligned for us.
This episode is an invitation to slow down and reconnect with the breath and the body as the primary way we listen to our nervous system. When we understand our depth of processing and depth of caring, we can begin to see why self-care is not optional, and why taking care of yourself truly is number one.
Melissa reflects on how environment has a powerful influence on sensitive nervous systems. Nature, morning light, and intentional beginnings can bring a greater sense of calm, safety, and regulation. It’s never too late to choose yourself while still being kind and caring.
You’re invited to notice:
• How often you connect with your breath
• How you start your day
• Whether you give yourself space to sense what is true and best for you
Depth of processing isn’t about overthinking. It’s about making wiser decisions that support your well-being and your natural rhythm.
