    85 | Exhausted? You're Not Regulating Your Emotions, You're Overthinking

    Have you ever done an emotional check-in and ended up feeling more drained than before? You’re not alone. A lot of highly sensitive introverts confuse “checking in” with overthinking or constantly scanning, analyzing, and trying to fix.  In this episode, I’m breaking down the difference between true emotional awareness and mental loops that leave you exhausted. I’ll walk you through a simple way to check in with your feelings that actually helps you feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded.  If you’ve been stuck in your head and wondering why emotional check-ins don’t feel supportive, this episode will show you how to do them in a way that works with your sensitivity instead of against it.

    83 | How Many Journals Do You Need? My #1 Tip for Beating Perfectionism as an Introvert

    Do you ever wonder if you should be keeping one journal for everything or separating them into categories like one for emotions, one for goals, one for prayers? In this episode, I’m breaking down the pros and cons of both journaling styles so you can figure out what actually works for you. Whether your current journal feels messy and chaotic or you’re feeling overwhelmed trying to keep up with too many notebooks, this conversation will help you make a clear, grounded decision. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but I’ll help you choose the approach that supports your emotional well-being and helps you stay consistent.

    82 | Overstimulated, Overwhelmed, & Emotionally Exhausted? 7 Types of Self-Care for Introverts

    As a highly sensitive person or introvert, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, and emotionally drained even by things that seem “small” to others. That’s why self-care isn’t just helpful, it’s essential. But not all self-care is created equal. In this episode, I’m walking you through 7 types of self-care every introvert needs to know: emotional, physical, intellectual, social, spiritual, mental, and environmental. I’ll explain what each one means, why it matters for your nervous system and peace of mind, and how to choose the care your body and emotions are actually asking for. If you’ve ever felt unsure what you need when you're tired, anxious, or overstimulated, this episode will help you find clarity, calm, and a simple rhythm of care that works.

    81 | Anxiety or Sensory Overload? What’s Really Draining You as an Introvert and HSP

    Is it anxiety… or sensory overload? As introverts and HSPs, we often feel overwhelmed in loud, fast-paced, or emotionally intense environments and sometimes we mistake that feeling for anxiety. In this episode, I’m breaking down the difference between anxiety and sensory overload, why that confusion can lead to shame and self-blame, and how to start noticing the signs your body is simply overstimulated. I’ll also share calming tools and journaling prompts to help you recover your peace and regulate your nervous system so you can stop powering through and start honoring your true emotional needs.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a few simple tools I reach for when my mind won’t slow down. You’ll learn a 3-step decision filter to help you stop second-guessing yourself, some gentle mindfulness cues to ground your nervous system, and mental pause phrases that create breathing room when your thoughts get loud.

    Ever feel completely wiped out after socializing, even if it was with people you love? You might be experiencing an introvert hangover. In this episode, we’re diving into what an introvert hangover actually is, why it happens (especially if you’re highly sensitive), and how to recognize the signs before you crash. I’ll also share why these “energy crashes” aren’t something to fix but something to honor. And how ignoring them can lead to emotional overwhelm or burnout. If you’ve ever felt guilty for needing alone time, snapped at someone after a full day, or wondered why your brain shuts down after too much stimulation, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away feeling seen and supported, and you’ll learn how to work with your sensitivity instead of pushing through it.

    78 | Overstimulated? STOP Pushing Through and Do This Instead

    Overstimulation is real, and as an HSP or introverted woman, you probably feel it more than most. The noise, the people-pleasing, the constant emotional pull from others... it adds up fast. In this episode, I’m unpacking what overstimulation actually looks and feels like for HSPs, and why it’s not a sign that something’s wrong with you (it’s a sign that you need a different rhythm). I’ll also share simple tools that can help you calm your nervous system, like sensory resets, digital detoxes, and energy check-ins. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or emotionally exhausted lately, this episode is here to help you reset without guilt.
