The Plata Life Podcast: Finding the magic of the everyday life

In this episode, I share how challenging it can be for highly sensitive people to stay in that place of joy when they see the beauty in the world. I explain why this could be happening and why it is so important that we allow and encourage ourselves to feel deeply, especially when it comes to these two ideas. 

I mention this Brene Brown podcast episode:

In this week's episode I share all about how deeply and easily highly sensitive people can love. But I don't mean the "love" you see in the movies. I mean the type of weird, awkward love that has only to do with yourself. 

I share how my child's obsession with Pokemon helped me see that adding the things I absolutely love to do (like this podcast) into my life, and actually prioritizing them has helped me live from a place of love and joy.

In this episode I share my journey in raising a bilingual child and how this specific experience taught me that sometimes all we need is...time (and yes love too).
