The Nourished Sensitive

08/15/2025

Hi, I’m Leah. Just thought I’d introduce myself. So we can be friends and…

I have *like* a million questions 👇

Okay first, what’s your name?

Do you have a special interest?
Loveliest, most nourishing quality?
Beautiful and beastly features?
Do you like to have fun? How?
What do you do for a life?
Is your favorite color rainbow?
Can I come over to play?

I need specifics, details. Don’t hold anything back, sis. Pretend we’re on the phone and it’s 2002, and you just added me on AOL instant messenger @ butterflygirl 🦋 ✨

Ok byeeeeeeee ✌️

🍊🍦 Savor what’s left of every moment.

If you’re highly sensitive, neurodivergent, or any unique shade of sensitive on the color spectrum…
your most important to-do is this:

Take care of yourself.

Because your presence isn’t just part of the work—
it is the work.
The greatest love you have to give.

So you’re called:

To practice staying.
In the moment.
To glow up by showing up—
for yourself and for others.
Again and again.

Until you get really good at it.

To be visible being yourself.
With friends who can hear you.
Who get it.
Who want to listen.
Who ground you into the now.

It’s important you do this work.
Because it leads to more freedom—
not just for you,
but for all of us.

Maybe you need a space to learn.
To soften.
To be mirrored.

I hold a space for that.
It’s called Sensitive Sanctuary Circle,
and it happens every two weeks.

🕊️ The next one is Tuesday, August 19th from 6:15–7:30 PM ET.

Come join us—
before the next moment melts away,
and you forget to put your needs first.

You can’t save it for later,
but you can savor what you can, while it lasts.

Just comment “Dreamsicle” and I’ll send you an invitation. 😋

Hi, I’m Leah—the heart behind The Nourished Sensitive. 💛

I created this space for sensitive, deep-feeling souls who crave something more than hustle culture, surface-level wellness, and transactional connections.

🌱 The Nourished Sensitive is a community sanctuary where holistic health meets personal growth, creativity meets embodiment, and healing happens in safe, supportive space. ✨

We offer:
🌿 Support circles + workshops rooted in mind-body healing
🌿 Free monthly Dialogues exploring the 9 elements of wellness
🌿 Tools for cyclical living, intuitive nourishment & energy balance
🌿 A growing member library of self-paced replays & resources
🌿 1:1 coaching for those ready to go deeper

🌸 This May, we’re exploring:
💫 Visibility for sensitive souls
🌾 Grounding in nature and body
💛 Emotional health & nervous system care
🌿 Authentic, cyclical living
🤍 Deep connection with like-hearted souls

You can also find us on Substack, where we share stories of travel, nourishment, spirituality, and self-discovery—plus semi-regular podcast episodes with sensitive healers, creatives, and everyday people walking this path.

Everything we offer is rooted in:
💞 Reciprocity
💞 Authenticity
💞 Compassion
💞 Holistic care
💞 Sovereignty
💞 Co-creation

That’s why many of our events are open to both members and guests—because healing should feel like home, not a transaction.

If you’re new here, welcome. If you’ve been walking this path a while, I’m so glad you’re still here. 🌻

There’s a seat for you inside this garden of sensitive hearts. 🌿

Some problems don’t need quick answers—they need space to be felt.

In this expansive conversation, somatic yoga teacher Bettina Schelkle and I explore what it really means to come home to the body—and how somatic yoga helps us remember that we are more than what we produce.

Together, we explore:
▸ What it means to… rebuild self-trust through movement
▸ The questions sensitive souls often ask, like… “What is embodiment really?”
▸ Gentle practices for navigating… fear, resistance, and skepticism
▸ How to honor your sensitivity in a world that often… sees emotions as weakness
▸ The beauty and complexity of… reclaiming body-based wisdom

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ A new way to think about inner strength and presence
✔️ How to gently approach resistance as part of the process
✔️ A story that will remind you healing is circular, not linear
✔️ Simple steps to begin practicing with intention, not performance
✔️ Encouragement to believe that your body holds truth, always

🎧 Tune in on Substack (link in bio) or wherever you listen.

💛 If something in this episode touches you, feel free to comment or share it with someone who’d resonate. This podcast exists to help sensitive souls feel less alone, more connected, and deeply seen.

If you can. 🌊 💚

I didn’t lose my soul all at once.

It happened slowly, gradually.
One light particle at a time—ciphered off by the demands of ‘have that on my desk by 5’, hurried lunch breaks, and time off requests.

And various other forms of capitalistic violence against my essence.

Until one day, I realized I couldn’t see my own light anymore. And I panicked. F**K.

I’d built a version of “success” that looked soo good on paper but left me feeling hollow inside. I traded pieces of my truth to belong in systems that were never built for me. I performed. I pushed. I survived.

But eventually… my soul had enough. It was time to die (sorry, the old Leah can’t come to the phone right now) 🔥

Maybe you know that feeling.
Maybe you’ve been hearing your soul whisper (or scream):

“What about me?”

If this post feels confronting, that’s okay.
It’s okay to feel the fear. To feel the grief of having been gone from yourself, your spirit, God, the ancestors.

This is your invitation, not your shame—to recognize that you’re part of something way bigger than the lies and the marketing.

You are a soul, and this is war.

🌱 The Nourished Sensitive was created for this exact moment—the battle cry of what about my soul?

It’s a home—a sanctuary— for becoming.

A space where you don’t have to perform or shrink to be loved. A garden, where your sensitivity is a strength—not something to hide or fix, curate or make palatable.

Inside the Sanctuary, we gather every two weeks in Circle.

To breathe. To feel. To remember.
And to be witnessed exactly as we are.

🌿 The next Circle is April 28 at 6:15–7:30 PM ET. The topic is living cyclically—perfect for those who are feeling burnt out by systems that demand constant production.

My friend, you don’t have to keep choosing a life that malnourishes your soul.

You get to choose you now (or whenever you’re ready). It will all be okay.

So… what’s it gonna be?

I always knew I was different…

One of my most vivid memories is staring into the mirror at 9 years old, singing Reflection through tears.

That was around the time I started boxing up the most sacred parts of myself—knowing they weren’t safe to show.

I made myself into a project:
Dieted. Shrunk.
Chased approval through prettiness, performance, perfection.
I found worth in the attention I got from men, gold stars from teachers, and the scraps of belonging I could collect by blending in to society.

But the 9-year-old in me eventually screamed loud enough for me to hear.
She refused to be hidden.
She asked me to burn it all down.

So I did. 🔥

I rose slowly, then all at once.
Pulled the masks off.
Let myself be messy, magical, and real.
And I started seeing someone familiar in the mirror again—not who I pretended to be, but who I actually am.

And she’s amazing.
Kind. Creative. Loyal. A fairy. A mermaid. A butterfly. An Earth angel.

This journey led me to create The Nourished Sensitive—a sanctuary for the ones who’ve always felt different.

Who didn’t get the validation or reflection they needed.

Who’ve been on a lifelong path of unmasking, healing, and coming back to self.

TNS exists to reflect your wholeness. To remind you there’s nothing wrong with you.

To help you become more you—gently, slowly, truly.

You’re not too much.
You’re not broken.
You’re not behind.
You’re blossoming.

And you belong here. 🌻 💞
