🌿 Have you ever felt like the emotions of others pierce straight into you—joy lighting you up, sorrow weighing heavy on your chest?
This is the paradox of hyper-empathy: a gift that allows us to connect deeply, but that can also leave us overwhelmed.

In my latest article, I explore the science, the spirituality, and the strategies for thriving as a hyper-empath. Because we are not “too sensitive.” We are natural healers. 💫

You Can Rest—Here’s Why That Matters More Than You Think

Body:
Exhaustion isn’t always about sleep. Sometimes it’s reacting to expectations, overidentifying with ideals, unresolved grief, toxic dynamics… Rest isn’t luxurious—it’s survival. In her post How to Get the Rest You Desperately Need, Catherine Quiring offers more than rest tips—she offers permission.

You’ll discover:

The hidden sources of exhaustion (beyond lack of sleep)

A cycle of Insight, Action, Satisfaction, and Rest

✨ Stress spirals. People-pleasing. Meltdown mode.
They’re not random — they actually make perfect sense once you know your Enneagram type.

In this lively convo with Jackie Contessa, we dive into:
🔹 How anxiety, anger & shame show up for each type
🔹 Why people-pleasing is so exhausting
🔹 The sneaky ways family roles still shape us
🔹 How coaching can help you untangle it all

The Enneagram isn’t about putting you in a box — it’s about helping you out of the one you’ve been living in. 💡

🎧 Tune in for laughs, aha moments, and the reminder that growth comes from curiosity, not judgment.

Why do we feel stuck… even when we're trying harder than ever?

Because sometimes the very containers we're expected to live within—“successful, but not arrogant,” “helpful, but not needy”—keep us confined and unseen. In Why am I Stuck?, Catherine Quiring invites you to notice those little boxes, sit with them compassionately, and gently step into spaciousness.

She offers a simple path:

1. Recognize the boxes you’re living in

2. Feel clarity and compassion for the reasons behind them

3. Begin the journey home—toward rest, renewal, and your authentic self

You’re not broken. You’re boxed. And you can begin unfolding right now.

In a world obsessed with progress, we often mistake healing for climbing. We talk about ladders, stairs, and formulas—assuming talk + effort = change. But real life doesn’t move that way. Healing isn’t linear—it’s spiral, cyclical, branching, restless and beautiful.

In Beyond Linear Growth, I invite you to see your journey through organic shapes—from waves to webs, spirals to starbursts. When we let the natural world guide us, we remember that healing happens with rhythm, return, rest, and rediscovery. You don’t have to keep climbing. You just have to live the shapes you’re becoming.

Ever wonder how your spiritual journey is shaped by what your soul truly craves?
In Spiritual Evolution + the Enneagram, Catherine Quiring explores how each Enneagram type reveals what’s most vital to your spiritual growth—and glimpses of the next steps in healing, especially after religious conditioning or disconnection. This isn’t about boxes—it’s about finding the soul-level map that clarifies your path home to yourself.

When closeness felt more like control—that’s how many of us learned what connection “should” look like.

But genuine intimacy doesn’t demand self-abandonment; it blooms out of consent, autonomy, and the courage to say both “yes” and “no.” In her latest blog, Consent, Closeness, and Coming Home to Yourself, Catherine Quiring draws on IFS and healing wisdom to show us a new, self-grounded path toward belonging.

If you’ve ever struggled with confusing love for compliance—or you’ve longed for closeness without losing yourself—this reflection is for you.
