In this episode I share all about a crazy week that led to me crying in the car on our way to school. This one conversation I had with my 8 year old highly sensitive child really shifted my perspective on our sensitivity. Listen to explore how tapping into our humanity can help us get through the tough up and downs in our lives.
What do you do when you get stressed or have to change plans quickly? This week I share how my child getting sick triggered some anxiety for me and what I'm learning to be true about how we can show up in the world.
In this episode, I share how my body would force me to slow down and rest any chance it could in my teaching days. I discuss how important slowing down is for highly sensitive people because it allows our system to deeply process everything around us.
