Sunday Solace:July 27, 2025 🌱 Gentle Nourishment for the Week Ahead “ Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master. — Christian Lous Lange Reader, Six months ago, I quietly left social media. No drama, just a gentle boundary for my peace. It's hard to believe six months have passed already. (I fully realize that time will only ever seem to go faster and faster now that I'm "middle-aged.") Anywho, it's been six good, interesting months. And in this week’s post, I'm reflecting on...

Sunday Solace:July 20, 2025 🌱 Gentle Nourishment for the Week Ahead “ Every behavior makes sense in context. Your eating patterns are no exception. — Josie Munroe Hey Reader 🙋♀️ Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how often we hear that food is the problem: something to wrestle with, control, or run from. But for many of us, especially those of us deep feelers, that narrative misses the mark. If you're sensitive, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself (as so many of us are at times), your...

Sunday Solace:July 13, 2025 🌱 Gentle Nourishment for the Week Ahead “ In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks. — John Muir Reader Recently, I found myself wondering why I was feeling so tired despite adequate sleep and good habits. And then, it hit me. I realized just how overwhelmed I felt every time I would check the news. 🫣 Sound familiar? The weight of the world feels especially heavy lately.

Sunday Solace:July 6, 2025 🌱 Gentle Nourishment for the Week Ahead “ You are allowed to be both a work in progress and worthy of love. — Unknown Hi there, friend 🙂 Have you ever noticed that it's not hard to extend compassion to others, but feels nearly impossible to give that same grace to yourself? This is extremely common for us sensitive (and perhaps perfectionistic) humans. But we're missing out on huge benefits when we withhold self-forgiveness. Want to get better at giving yourself a...

Sunday Solace:June 29, 2025 🌱 Gentle Nourishment for the Week Ahead “ You are not a mistake. You are not a problem to be solved. But you won't discover this until you are willing to stop banging your head against the wall of shaming and caging and fearing yourself. — Geneen Roth Dearest Reader, If I asked you how you felt about your body, what would you say? What feelings would bubble up into your consciousness? Would you experience love? Hatred? Something in the middle? It's no secret that...

Sunday Solace:June 22, 2025 🌱 Gentle Nourishment for the Week Ahead “ The quieter you become, the more you can hear. — Ram Dass Hey Reader, Do you consider yourself intuitive? Do you seem to have a sixth sense? Do you just know that something is going to happen before it does? A strong intuition is a common characteristic of Highly Sensitive People. But what if you also have ANXIETY??? 😰 This week on the blog, I’m unpacking the differences between the two, especially for HSPs who feel...

Sunday Solace:June 15, 2025 🌱 Gentle Nourishment for the Week Ahead “ The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak. — Hans Hofmann Reader, Do you ever find yourself frozen by simple decisions, like what to eat, when to rest, or what to wear, and wonder, WHY is this so hard? If you're a Highly Sensitive Person, you may be experiencing decision fatigue. It's a very real mental drain that comes from making too many choices, too often. And because...

It cannot measure beauty, talent, purpose, life force, possibility, strength, or love.” — Steve Maraboli Good morning, Reader! Did you know that this coming week has some important moments of joy, accomplishment, and badassery stored up and waiting for you?

Sunday Solace:June 1, 2025 🌱 Gentle Nourishment for the Week Ahead “ You don't have to set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm. — Unknown Quick story for you, Reader. The other morning, I went grocery shopping at one of those "big-box" stores I tend to avoid. Much to my surprise (and pleasure), I unknowingly arrived during their "sensory-friendly" hours. It took a few minutes for me to notice that something was different: people seemed to be moving less frenetically, there was no music...
