I really enjoyed my conversation with Laurie James, and I wondered if you’ve had a chance to listen to it yet.

Somatic work intrigues me because our bodies hold so much and are a wealth of information.

In our conversation, Laurie discusses her journey of caregiving, divorce, and healing. She highlights her role as a mother and caregiver, and her personal struggles with feeling alone and belonging.

Here’s a quote from Laurie that landed with me:
“A lot of people you see are walking around with their shoulders up by their ears because they hold all that tension. That's how we hold our trauma. We're bracing for the next thing to happen.”
— Laurie James

She also shares that her health crisis post-divorce, attributed it to her stress and her subsequent discovery of somatic experiencing. We explore the importance of body-based healing, nervous system regulation, and somatic practices like movement and voice work.

Laurie emphasizes the need for society to honor individual differences and the significance of body awareness in mental health.

In episode 15 this season (season 6) of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast I discuss the challenges of being a highly sensitive person, particularly the feeling of overwhelm.

In the episode I share some personal experiences of attending a loud memorial service that triggered some past emotions. It led to me to some old coping mechanisms of emotional distancing and numbing. It was a little frustrating and also brought me a greater awareness of parts of me that need more attention.

I can’t emphasize enough the importance of holding space for yourself—feeling your emotions, and being open about them—rather than suppressing your feelings.

Because the benefits of sharing your struggles and reflecting on your feelings can foster and grow self-compassion and healing.
Here’s a quote from High Sensitivity and Handling Overwhelm:

We can get overwhelmed easily when lights are too bright, or music is too loud, when we process a lot of incoming information, when we're feeling emotional overload.
—Biz Cush

There’s a brief meditation at the end of the episode. Let me know how it lands for you!
And of course, I invite all of you listeners to join my monthly circle for sensitive women to find support and community.

If you haven't had a chance to listen you can find it wherever you listen to podcasts!

I've noticed in HS communities on FB and in conversations with friends that we can get easily hurt by non-highly sensitive people.
So, when you consider when a person is intentionally mean to you, how deep the hurt goes. Especially if it's your parent or partner.
In this episode of the podcast Sharon Martin and I talk about HS women in toxic relationship, and ways to create space and boundaries for your well-being.

Hi lovely 💜

Have you had a chance to listen to the newest episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast?

I had an amazing conversation with Alyssa Scarano, a fellow licensed professional counselor.

We discuss her holistic approach to mental health, integrating therapy with wellness practices like yoga and mindfulness.

Her specialty is working with relationship and family dynamics, emphasizing self-compassion and emotional attunement.

Alyssa's group practice includes a self-love coach, a yoga teacher, a mindfulness meditation teacher, a personal trainer, and a nutritionist.
We explore the benefits of meeting clients where they are and using emotions as tools for understanding needs. Alyssa also shares her personal journey of overcoming anxiety and the benefits of mindfulness and movement in emotional regulation.

It’s a great conversation and one of my favorite quotes from Alyssa is:
“At the very core of things, we have a relationship with ourself that is central to how we relate to others.”
— Alyssa Scarano

Yes, yes, yes!

If having a gratitude practice feels like another things on a every expanding to-do list, try "bitesize gratitude."

Finding gratitude can be hard if we’re feeling overwhelmed. But pausing a moment to notice small things that help you feel a little gratitude can help you feel more balanced and aligned. The sun on your face, a flavorful cup of tea, comfortable shoes, a soft blanket, a hug.

The small pleasures that offer a moment to feel grateful for where you are in this moment.

Making bitesize gratitude a part of your daily routine can lift your spirit without much effort.
