Hey Soothers! In today's podcast, I explain a metaphor I've been using a lot in my 1:1 coaching lately: That of the rock, and the river. In this metaphor, the rock is the person tossed around by the river, at the mercy of the river, without much agency or control in how it gets swept along. The river, on the other hand, is the life force that moves as it will. When we're in passive mode, not setting boundaries, giving away our power to others, we can think of that like being the rock. But when we're the river, we shift into a force of energy that is powerful. So tune in to hear about how you can become more like the river in your own life.

As I continue to talk about leadership and promote the Highly Sensitive Person Leadership Academy, a theme I want to touch on is that Small Leadership is a skill we're all going to be called on to develop in coming years. This is especially needed as we go into the diminishment of many larger systems outside of us, that we have up until now counted on to lead us. We're in a time when we're moving away from large, monolithic leadership, and we're going into an era of learning to rely on, tend to, step up within local communities. I know a lot of you don't view yourself as leaders, but I'm urging you to reconsider. Leadership isn't going to be optional in the future. We're all going to be called to step up in some way, whether we plan for it or not, whether we want to or not. And that's my mission with HLA. To give you the skills to handle leadership, when that time inevitably comes. That, to me, is small leadership.

In the final day of the HSP Leadership Summit, we discussed creating the identity of a leader. Listen in to this audio replay to understand and learn about how to shift into the beliefs, thoughts, actions and identity of a leader (or whatever area you're looking to grow into). You're always changing and growing, whether you're aware of it or not — and when you choose to consciously cultivate and grow your identity, and do it intentionally and with purpose, that's when real change can happen.

Hey there, pod listeners! Here is the audio replay of night 2 of my HSP Leadership Training Summit. In it, we share about impostor syndrome.  And then I walk you through live Emotional Freedom Technique Tapping (or EFT) to feel deserving at the workplace, confident as a leader, and that will stop that questioning voice in your head, wondering if you’re good enough to do your role, or if folks are talking about you or questioning you behind your back.

Ever wanted to try EFT but didn't know where to start? Give this audio a listen where I walk workshop attendees through live EFT tapping and let me know how it goes for you!

In HLA, we'll have monthly EFT tapping workshops on leadership-related topics, that will then be placed in a library for you to use whenever you need, at any time.

Hey Soother pod friends! I'm doing 3 days of leadership training in promotion of the Highly Sensitive Person Leadership Academy (HLA), and I thought, being as I often do, you may prefer to listen to the recordings on the go in podcast form. Here's the recording from the first night, The Nervous System of an HSP Leader.

Hey Soothers! Here's something I deeply believe: the body is a sacred vessel. It is the physical container for and way we express our heart, soul and mind in the world. However, too many of us rarely consider our bodies in this process, and it's hard to slow down to connect and listen to its needs and wisdoms. I find HSPs in particular can really struggle with this, as we may have had to disconnect early on in life from our bodies and live mostly in our analytical heads. But the reality is the wisdom of our bodies, and then the care of our bodies, is so important in our work, our leadership, and our life. So today I dive into one way we can begin to get back in rhythm and touch with our bodies — our menstrual cycles. Don't have a cycle? I'll teach you some nature-based strategies for aligning with a similar approach and energy.

The future of the world is leadership that is cyclically informed, respectful of our bodies' needs and wisdom, and aligned to a natural cycle. Tuning into our bodies and menstrual cycles is one important way to begin to create this future.

Have you heard of the concept of non-attachment — releasing shoulds or clinging to how people or circumstances should be, or attaching to material items — and thought, "Sounds cool, but hard, and uh, how does one do that?" Well, I was recently given a potent lesson in non-attachment and how easily I got attached to a particular outcome, and this lesson was delivered to me by unlikely teachers: two spectacularly cute kittens. Tune in for a quick explainer of how attachment can show up in our lives and how we can begin to release it and surrender and allow the flow of life in instead.

Hey there, Soothers! As you know I'm opening my Highly Sensitive Person Leadership Academy on September 5th to the waitlist (it'll open to the public two weeks later) and today I wanted to root and ground in on what I even mean by leadership. I think HSPs and women overall balk at the concept of calling themselves a leader, one, because we see what leadership looks like today and it's like... no thank you, and also possibly because it's simply not how we see ourselves. Today I'd like to challenge that assumption. I think each human on earth has the potential and calling to be a leader in our own way and I'd like to activate that within you and cast a new vision for leadership in the world.

I have a really true and deep belief that in how our society is unfolding, empathetic and heart-centered and feminine leaders will be the ones who are going to help us go where we need to go, because our entire model of leadership has been so warped and dominated by masculine energy and patriarchy.

As we move into August and September, I have a couple of free offerings I wanted to tell you about to help educate you on the front of what feminine and sensitive leadership could look like, and I talk about that today.

One thing I hear so many of my clients and audience say is that they desire to stop being so in their masculine energy in their life, but they don't know where or how to start. So today I'm walking you through understanding what feminine energy is, how we can begin to embody it healthily, and also, how we can use surrendered feminine energy both in our manifestation practices, and in our romantic relationships, too. Because many of us are embodying a controlling, critical element in the way we interact with the world, and often with our romantic partners, too, and I want to showcase some possibilities for showing you how to release that controlling energy (which is an unhealthy masculine energy) so you can regain some balance in the way you manifest with the universe, and the way you are with your partner. So let's dive in!

Intrigued by my takes on manifestation? Sign up for the Sunday Soother Membership, where in August I'll be teaching a masterclass on Manifestation for Highly Sensitive People; tickets are only $44.
