Do you want to overcome self-doubt and set boundaries so you can have the meaningful connections you crave?

Feeling frustrated with yourself for not wanting what you’re “supposed” to want leaves you feeling drained and unsure of yourself. Recently, I had a moment that stopped me in my tracks: realizing a fitness goal I was pushing myself toward wasn’t actually my goal, it was a suggestion from a fitness app that I quietly adopted and then judged myself for not meeting.This pattern may feel familiar. As Highly Sensitive Women, we are deeply attuned to expectations, praise, and unspoken standards, and

If you’ve ever thought, "If I can’t do it the right way, I won’t do it at all," this episode is for you.Today, I’m unpacking how all-or-nothing thinking quietly keeps us stuck — not because we don’t care, but because we care so much that anything less than ideal feels like failure. I share a recent experience at the gym where my workout didn’t look impressive on paper (no sweat, barely elevated heart rate, only twenty minutes from the moment I walked in the door until I walked out) yet ended up

A new year often arrives with an unspoken message: be better, do more, change faster. For highly sensitive women, that pressure can feel especially heavy.I am offering a different invitation. Instead of trying to reinvent yourself, I explore what becomes possible when you choose self-acceptance and allow change to follow naturally. Inspired by the French quote “I accept the great adventure of being me,” this conversation reframes self-acceptance as an active, courageous choice rather than

We’re often told that once we know better, we’ll do better.But real life doesn’t work that way. In this episode, I’m sharing an honest reflection on how even with awareness, tools, and experience, I overextended myself. Not because I didn’t know my limits, but because knowing something doesn’t automatically make it easy to live. I explore: 🩵 Why awareness doesn’t instantly translate into changed behavior 🩵 The shame that creeps in when you “know what to do” and still struggle 🩵 How

Introvert. Extrovert. Ambivert.We hear these words all the time, but if you’re a highly sensitive woman, those labels often feel too small to capture your lived experience. In today’s episode, I explore how sensitivity and social energy intersect and why so many highly sensitive people assume they’re introverts when what they could really be navigating is nervous system overstimulation. This conversation was sparked by a recent dinner where someone casually referred to me as an introvert and it was

There’s a certain kind of discomfort that comes with growth, but for many highly sensitive women, that discomfort can feel like too much, too fast.

But that approach often backfires, leaving us retreating into self-doubt, convinced we’ve failed yet again.This episode is an invitation to do it differently. You’ll learn how to
