    Relationships can be one of the biggest emotional triggers for highly sensitive introverts — and that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you.

We’ll explore emotional triggers, boundaries, and how to process your feelings without spiraling or shutting down. I’ll share why feeling triggered doesn’t mean you’re “too much,” and how learning to pause, feel, and support yourself can change the way you experience relationships.

    123 | The #1 Reason Traditional Self-Care Advice Never Works for HSPs and Introverts

    If self-care feels like another thing you’re failing at, this episode is for you. As a highly sensitive introvert, you don’t need more routines, rules, or productivity-based self-care. You need emotional safety. In this episode, I’m reframing what self-care actually looks like for HSPs and introverts — especially when emotions feel heavy or overwhelming.  We’ll talk about why traditional self-care often doesn’t work for sensitive nervous systems, how emotional safety supports emotional regulation, and what heart-centered self-care can look like in real life. This conversation is about slowing down, listening to your emotions, and creating support instead of pressure.  If you’ve been emotionally exhausted or overwhelmed, this episode will help you rethink self-care in a way that actually feels calming and sustainable.

    122 | Feeling Lonely or Left Out This Valentine’s Day? Here’s Why It’s So Hard for HSPs

    February can stir up a lot for highly sensitive introverts — comparison, loneliness, emotional pressure, and that quiet feeling of being “behind.” In this episode, I’m talking about why Valentine’s Day can feel emotionally overwhelming, even if you’re not actively thinking about it, and what’s actually happening beneath the surface. We’ll explore why comparison hits HSPs harder, how loneliness shows up as emotional exhaustion, and why trying to push these feelings away often makes things worse. I’ll also share gentle ways to support yourself during this season without forcing positivity or shutting down emotionally. If you’ve been feeling more sensitive, overstimulated, or emotionally tired lately, this episode will help you understand your emotions with compassion — and take the pressure off trying to feel fine when you’re not.

    121 | Afraid of What Emotions Will Come Up? How to Journal Safely as an HSP

    If you’ve ever avoided journaling because you’re afraid of what might come up emotionally, you’re not alone — especially if you’re highly sensitive or introverted. In this episode, I’m talking about the fear that journaling will open emotions you don’t know how to handle, leave you feeling raw, or create more emotional overwhelm. I’m sharing why this fear makes sense for HSPs, what actually makes journaling feel unsafe, and how learning to journal with containment can help your nervous system relax. We’ll explore what it means to journal safely, why open-ended journaling can feel overwhelming, and how small, gentle boundaries make a big difference. This episode is for you if you want to journal your feelings but need it to feel emotionally safe, supportive, and grounded — not intense or draining.

    120 | You Don’t Need to Journal Every Day

    There’s a lot of pressure to believe that journaling only works if you do it every day. For highly sensitive and introverted women, that belief can turn journaling into another thing on the to-do list.  In this episode, I’m unpacking why daily journaling isn’t necessary for emotional regulation or emotional resilience — and how that expectation can actually increase overwhelm. We’ll talk about why consistency is often misunderstood, how journaling works best in seasons, and what matters more than frequency when it comes to processing emotions. If you want journaling to feel supportive instead of stressful, this episode will help you release pressure and reconnect with journaling in a way that fits your real life.

    119 | Why Journaling Feels Overwhelming (It’s Not a Time Problem)

    If journaling feels overwhelming, emotionally draining, or like something you never quite have the capacity for, this episode is for you.  Many highly sensitive and introverted women believe they don’t journal because they “don’t have time,” but in my experience, time usually isn’t the real issue. The real challenge is how journaling can open emotions that feel hard to contain. In this episode, I’m sharing why journaling often feels heavy for HSPs and introverts, how emotional overwhelm contributes to exhaustion, and what actually helps journaling feel safer and more supportive.  I'm also sharing a quick journaling prompt to help you get started. If you’ve ever avoided journaling because it feels like too much, this episode will help you understand why it's not about time. Related Episodes: 114| Feelings on Repeat?

    118 | STOP Trying to Ignore Your Emotions - Journaling Prompts to Help You Trust Your Gut

    As a highly sensitive introvert, you’ve probably been told not to trust your emotions; that you’re overreacting, too sensitive, or letting your feelings get the best of you.  In this episode, I’m gently reframing that belief. Your emotions aren’t random or irrational; they’re full of insight. We’re talking about emotional intuition — what it actually is, why so many of us distrust it, and how emotional overwhelm, past hurt, and social conditioning can disconnect us from our inner guidance.  I’ll share simple ways to start listening to your gut again, without ignoring logic or spiraling into overthinking.  You’ll also get journaling prompts to help you build emotional awareness, notice emotional patterns, and strengthen your ability to regulate emotions instead of suppressing them.
