It really is time to embrace all of who you are, the bits you like, the bits you don’t.

It’s not easy, especially if you’re deeply sensitive.

In this ep Callie and I unpack ways to tend to your nervous system, how to lean into your deeply sensitive self and find the awe and wonder in all of it.

We share the importance of creating a safe container for vulnerability and how that can look for you.

And a reminder you’re not over- sensitive or too- sensitive. You are you!

You’re going to need to outsource the things you don’t excel at and change the way you’ve been showing up.
