This podcast explores the silent lives of the highly sensitive, the deeply feeling, and the emotionally fluent. Those who live with complex PTSD, ancestral trauma, emotional hyper-awareness, and spiritual exhaustion. The ones who function in the world but crash behind closed doors. Who feel the weight of generations in their nervous systems and are often mislabeled as "too much."

Here, we give language to the ache. We unpack the psychology of complex trauma, the poetry of emotional memory, and the quiet grief of souls that feel centuries old. This is not about sadness in the conventional sense, it’s about soul sadness. About being shaped by absence, silence, and survival.

If you've ever cried to a song without knowing why, stared out of a window feeling homesick for a place that doesn’t exist, or felt unseen in a world that prizes resilience over truth—you are not alone.

Welcome to a space where sensitivity is strength, depth is honored, and your story is safe.
