A Message for My Fellow Sensitives
I’ve been so moved by the response to everything I’ve shared these past few weeks about what it means to be sensitive. There is so much I want to say in response to the beautiful wave of sensitives who have responded to say: yes, this is me. I see myself here. But there’s one more thing I…
Why You Were Born Sensitive
Sensitive people, like you, were specifically created by the Earth to help this world heal. According to Dr. Elaine Aron (the pioneer who coined the term highly sensitive person), HSPs play a profoundly important role in human evolution… With the ability to literally take in more sensory detail (and also process it more deeply) sensitive people…
How to Be a Sensitive in this World
This summer I sent out a survey to my fellow sensitives here and asked: what do you struggle with most about being sensitive? We had over 700 people reply to this question and amazingly, the same answer came up again and again…. We, as sensitive people, are overwhelmed by this world.

And yet, for as wonderful as my time away was—I was deeply looking forward to coming back to work. Why? Because I’ve created a business that actually nourishes my nervous…
Claim the Life you Want
Boundaries are hard….especially if you’re an empath. Like a hibiscus flower in the full heat of summer, highly sensitive and empathic people are simply born with more openness. This can be challenging—but it can also be spectacular. Being open means you can feel the height of a sunrise. The deep, wordless wisdom in a whale song. The joy of two…
Navigating the Holidays as an Empath
I’ve often found that magic and sensitivity go hand-in-hand. Some of the most magical people I know, are also the most sensitive. Through the years of coming to recognize just how tender my own inner landscape can be, I’ve realized that, instead of being a hindrance, my sensitivity is actually what enables me to see those…
