The New Sensitive

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.

Get on my waitlist for my leadership program for the following:

• August exclusive emails teaching principles of feminine leadership
• Access to a September 3-day leadership summit for highly sensitive people (free, replays provided)
• And eventually a discount for when HLA opens to the waitlist on September 5

Want to know your Highly Sensitive Person Leadership Style? Take my 3-minute quiz! And make sure you're signed up for the HLA waitlist to get discounts, exclusive content and resources and to be first to know when this program opens.

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.

One reason I think so many of us roll our eyes at the concept of manifestation is that we assume it's about purely material things, or about getting large sums of money, and for plenty of us, those are topics we're wary about or that aren't that motivating to us. Also, many of us see the damage that unfettered capitalism has done to humans, society and the earth and are wary of engaging with a spiritual practice that seems to be about further material accumulation. But I'm here to tell you today, don't let capitalism — or your own internalized capitalism — ruin what can be a really beautiful and delightful experience. Manifestation isn't, to me, at its core about acquiring material items or showy amounts of money; it's about allowing the desires on your heart, from small to large, to unfold in the material plane. Tune into to listen to me tell stories of manifestation that have nothing to do with money or material items and why they are just as special, and how you can begin to have those experiences, too.

Hey there, Soothers! If you're anything like me, you might consider yourself a pretty logical, practical person. And... you might be a little spiritually curious, too. If you've heard of the concept of manifesting and are intrigued by it, but also think it sounds a little bonkers and cringe and gross, and yet, something in you still wants to know more, come listen to this episode. In it I talk about manifestation misconceptions, why you don't have to consider yourself spiritual to engage with manifestation, why we must consider trauma and privilege when it comes to the concept, and I give you very practical steps to start whatever your manifestation practice might look like. This is an episode for us realists out there, but who also maybe want to believe in a little bit of magic again.

Hey Soothe pod crew! This is another audio excerpt from my Instagram series, Wednesday Wisdom.  Enjoy!

Welcome to another Wednesday Wisdom, where I coach and teach on concepts of leadership for the highly sensitive person! Today I’m discussing what I think is the most important, but least discussed or understand element of leadership, and that is leadership of Self.

This can be a complicated concept to understand but well worth your time. When we have self leadership, we are becoming the healthy, compassionate, curious and confident Self leader, internally, to many of our multiplicity of parts of our psyche. 

We may have an inner critic. A rash part. A creative part. An inner child. An angry part. An overworking part, a people-pleasing part. We have so many parts, some which we may classify as “good” and some which may annoy or irritate us or that we wish would somehow just go *poof* 

But we also have a Self. And the Self is our core quality of a higher self of sorts, that embodies certain characteristics, and is ultimately meant to lead, compassionately, all of our other parts. 

In this Instagram live I talk about the 8 Cs and the 5 Ps - all the qualities of the Self - and how we can begin to cultivate our Self more. 

Because when we can truly lead INTERNALLY, all of our parts that need us, THEN we can begin to authentically and powerfully lead others, externally. 

Interested in this concept? I will be diving into Self Leadership in the Highly Sensitive Person Leadership Academy, which opens for enrollment in September. Get on the waitlist at catherinedandrews.com/hla for exclusive content, discounts and more. 

What is my current journaling practice? What are my most effective styles of journaling? How do I begin journaling? I'm answering all of these Qs and more for today's podcast! I believe journaling is an incredibly powerful and potent way for humans to become self-aware, create relationships with yourself, and heal, and it can also be really hard to start or commit to a journaling practice and that is normal! But no worries, in this episode, I got you.

And on Wednesday, July 5th I'm teaching you all of my journaling secrets inside the Sunday Soother Membership. I'm hosting a workshop, "The Power of Journaling," where I'll teach you all I know about journaling: my regular practices; my 8 favorite kinds of journaling; my journaling routine; how I commit to journaling regularly; and whatever Qs you have, too! $44, you can sign up to the membership for one month, get the journaling stuff, and leave thereafter.

Hey there! In today's podcast, I'm sharing an Instagram Live I did last week, all about the importance of identity in leadership, especially as a highly sensitive person. Identity shifts are one of the most important aspects of change, and if you want to step into being an authentic leaders, you must change your identity from a Follower identity to a Leader identity. In this live, I talk about what is identity even, why most of us have a "follower identity" (and how it's even encouraged), and I talk about steps and tools you can use to begin to intentionally cultivate a new identity, one of the powerful leader you truly can be.
