MISUNDERSTOOD: Guiding Highly Sensitive People Through An Emotional Dark Age

I'm diving deep into the power of authentic female friendships and the profound healing that comes from reconnecting with our inner selves. I share insights from a recent girls trip to North Carolina that was truly soul-nourishing and reflect on my personal healing journey from childhood trauma to living in my authentic truth.

We talk about breaking free from societal limitations, healing our nervous systems, and the magic of living life aligned with our true selves. Plus, I discuss the immense potential we unlock when we embrace who we are meant to be, regardless of societal expectations. 

I also discuss the paradigm shift we're witnessing as more people awaken to consciousness and healing, over achievement and perfectionism. And I’m really excited to highlight the incredible work being done in my intimate Inner Work groups, where individuals from different generations come together to heal and grow.

I got to hang out with the author of "That's Bold of You", Case Kenny. We chatted about everything relationships, from why "settling down" sounds like a buzzkill to how love should actually make your life even more awesome. Case’s fresh perspective on love not just being a source of fulfillment but an enhancement of your already amazing life resonated deeply with me. 

We explored the importance of maintaining individuality in a relationship, breaking harmful cycles, and the true essence of confidence. This conversation is a beautiful reminder to live authentically, embrace growth, and, most of all, to love yourself first. 

Dive in and discover how you can amplify your life experiences, enjoy the journey, and let love find you without forcing its hand.
