7 Tips Every HSP Needs to Know for a Refreshing Vacay
You have been planning this trip for months, you’re super excited for all the things…but within a few days you get sick and are totally knocked on your a$$.
This has been my experience all of my life with travel and vacation, and it wasn’t until I learned how to cater to my specific needs as a HSP and Empath that I hacked the code for wonderful, low stress vacations where I did NOT get sick and miss out, or have to travel home very ill indeed.
Just because you’re a Sensitive does NOT mean you are destined to be sick and miserable when you travel!
If you have trips planned for this year, you won’t want to miss today’s episode where I share how I utilized my “HSP travel secrets” on my recent vacation to the South by Southwest film and music festival in Austin, TX.
To practice the Centering and Grounding techniques I mentioned in today’s episode, receive your free gift of The Sensitive’s Guide to Thrive.
From School Teacher to Yoga Therapist; A Journey Home to Wholeness - with Nichola Day
Have you ever had that Inner Knowing that it was time for a change? That you couldn’t, and didn’t have to, carry on with things as they were? Perhaps you are even sitting in this place now?
This was absolutely the experience of this weeks guest on the Sensitive Collective Podcast, Nichola Day, yoga teacher, therapist, writer, and speaker.
She went from a successful and stressful career as a Primary School Teacher in the UK, through many cycled loops of over-achieving, people pleasing, and burnout, to the realization that how she was showing up wasn’t sustainable - or even necessary.
While it was not an easy ride to step out of what she thought was going to be her life’s vocation, leaving a profession that didn’t work for her was a soul guided and empowering choice that has absolutely changed her life.
In this week's episode, Nichola shares her journey from sick and tired Primary School Teacher to Healthy and Empowered Yoga Therapist, how yoga supported her on this journey, the role our intuition plays in the evolution and healing of mind-body-spirit, and so much more.
Yoga has saved my life (no exaggeration) and been a safe place for me to return home to throughout my life. Of yoga, Nichola says:
“I want Yoga to be this space where people can access and nurture their power. When I roll out my mat it’s a sense of being home. And home is where you're safe to fully be yourself and come as you are. And that is what I try to create when I practice and teach yoga. A place to come home to. And that’s what Sensitives need.”
If you’ve ever struggled with people pleasing, over achieving, and burnout, and have thought about a change in career, then please join us and hear more about our own experiences with these, allowing them to shine a light on your own. I have a feeling some intuitive bells may sound for you as you listen!

Knowing the Difference Between Sensitivity and HYPERsensitivity Could Save Your Relationship
You want to create grounded, more calm and peaceful relationships, but it feels like a struggle or even impossible.
You are tired of feeling like your Sensitivity is somehow responsible for the strife inside your relationships.
If this resonates, you could well be experiencing symptoms of unresolved trauma and hypersensitivity.
In this episode I talk about how (and why!) trauma shows up in your relationship dynamics, what hypersensitivity actually is, and why a holistic approach is so important in your healing process.
I hope this helps to support you in healing AND normalizes your experience! It’s not just you, this is the nitty gritty of healing and you are doing great even just being here to listen and learn.
If you are ready to get more personalized guidance and support in integrating these concepts and practices into your life, please book a Discovery Call with me so we can connect and feel into aligned action together.
Are You Addicted to Love?
Relationship is one of the biggest areas of struggle for HSP and Empaths, and this week's episode shines light on a very common issue that can often fly under the radar; Love Addiction.
Do you put your partner on a pedestal or overvalue them? Do you neglect yourself in your relationship? Do you seek unconditional love in your relationship? And if you don't get it, does that mean you feel like you’re not loved or lovable?
If any of this sounds at all familiar, you won't want to miss this week’s episode with Jodi White, a licensed therapist, coach and podcaster specializing in love addiction and supporting women in recovery from this often misunderstood attachment injury.
Jodi discusses her own history with love addiction on her podcast, Journals of a Love Addict, where she shares relatable personal stories, as well as conversations with experts and others who get it.
You can connect with Jodi on her website.
And here is the book on Boundaries, by Julianne Taylor Shore mentioned in the episode.

The Sensitive’s Purpose Paradox
Have you been working in alignment with your purpose, putting in the energy and effort to follow your heart’s call to service, and are now finding yourself getting totally burnt out and even starting to see symptoms of dis-ease and dis-comfort surfacing?
You are not alone! It happens to SO many HSP and Empaths, and I call it the Sensitive’s Purpose Paradox.
In today’s episode I talk about what the purpose paradox is, why it happens, share some of my personal experience with it, and how we can work with it and through it to the other side.
This is the final tie-it-in-a-bow episode in the three part series I felt called to share around purpose.
Working with our purpose is coming up a lot right now in the collective energy/consciousness, and so I hope this series has felt supportive for you! Remember, you aren’t alone, healing isn’t linear, and you are doing the best you can, where you’re at, with what you’ve got. And I love you!

Living in Alignment with Purpose
Do you feel stuck? Low energy? Are you struggling with burnout? Does it feel like there is resentment building inside of your relationships? Is your health suffering?
Living out of alignment with your soul mission, with your purpose work, could be one of the deeper causes for these issues.
Last week I shared what I believe to be the Sensitive’s Soul Mission. This week I examine what happens when we aren’t living in alignment with our purpose, how that can manifest, and what we can do about it! (Grab a pen and paper, there are a few journal prompts for you inside:)

The Sensitive's Soul Mission
Do you feel overwhelmed by all suffering in the World?
Do you know you are meant to make a difference, feel you are part of something bigger, but also don’t really know what to do with that or how to articulate your purpose?
Perhaps you’re already working in your purpose or have clarity on your calling, but are starting to feel disconnected and overwhelmed?
Today’s episode is a heartfelt share about my own grief around the state of our world today and what I believe to be the Sensitive’s Soul Mission.
In times like these it’s SO important to ground into your why and get clarity on what you believe. I invite you to see what resonates and take it with you, may it support you and all the amazing work you’re doing with yourself and in the world.
The Victim Mindset Paradigm Shift
My love! This episode is a challenging one because it hits so many of us so close to home. I absolutely used to have a Victim Mindset, and I want to be totally clear here from the get-go…I am in NO WAY here to shame you for having had or currently having a victim mindset!
What I AM here to do is share how shifting out of a victim mindset was a paradigm shift and absolutely transformational for me, what a victim mindset is, why it’s so common for HSP to struggle with it, how it manifests inside your relationship dynamics, and, of course, what to do about it!
This episode could be the breakthrough you’ve been looking for!
Book a Discovery Call with me if you are ready to claim your own Sensitivity as a Superpower and shift out of a Victim Mindset:)
Isolation Station & The Key to Getting Unstuck
The amount of guilt, shame, frustration, and just pure loneliness that you can experience trying to heal and make changes within yourself and your life all by yourself is so intense.
And yet we all do it.
Most of us have gone through periods of our life where we genuinely believe and act as though if we just read a book about it, we can figure it out on our own.
In this episode I show up to debunk the Myth of Willpower and to help you hop off of the Personal Development Hamster Wheel.
If you are feeling isolated, if you are feeling stuck, if you have such a clear vision of what you want to create and who you want to be showing up as in your life and relationships…but keep hitting a wall and still not making any lasting shifts, then this episode is for you.
And if you are ready, book the call:)
The Truth About Speaking Your Truth
In today's episode I talk about why speaking your truth is so important, as well as one of the biggest obstacles preventing you from speaking up and speaking out.
This is something that all my clients struggle with and yet it's one of the most common goals, too.
May this episode serve as a guiding light to you feeling more empowered and confident in speaking your truth.
And if you like this episode, or the podcast in general has been supportive for you, then please head over to Apple Podcast to leave a review so other Sensitives can find it, too, thank you!
Why You Keep Getting Burned Out
One of the most common and deflating struggles we have as Empaths and Highly Sensitive People is Burn Out.
This is one of those things that really makes your Sensitivity feel like a burden or even a curse.
In today’s episode I share about some of my own experiences with burn out. I also talk about the antidote to burn out - learning how to honor, accept, and WORK with your Sensitivity.
You CAN work towards more self-awareness and being MUCH better resourced within your Sensitivity to prevent burn out from playing a leading role in your life.
The Power of Sensitivity for Self Transformation
So often what I bring attention to and celebrate with our Sensitivity Superpowers is how they benefit our relationships with others and how we navigate the world around us.
AND just as important is the often overlooked or forgotten transformational power of turning your Sensitivity Superpowers towards YOURSELF.
In today’s episode I share more about what it means to turn those gifts towards yourself, how to do it most effectively (and the fear that inevitably comes up when you try) in the hopes of setting you up for a beautifully fruitful and empowering start to 2024.
As promised, here is the link to book your Free Discovery Call with me:)

Does Your Sensitivity Feel Like a Curse?
If your Sensitivity is ruling your life, and not in a good way, I totally feel you!
Because I used to feel the same way.
Being sensitive felt like a burden.
Being sensitive felt limiting, almost like a curse.
Like my sensitivity was a weakness, that there was something wrong with me, and if only I could fix it I’d finally be happy and things would be easier.
In this weeks episode, I call Bullsh*t on this narrative!
AND I share why CLAIMING your Sensitivity as a Superpower is an imperative for you to heal and learn to love and accept yourself so you can thrive in your life and relationships.

My Disappearing Act - Laura Ann Spills the Tea
This episode felt really vulnerable, AND it's so important for me to show up honestly with you in this space. Just because I'm a Healing Mentor doesn't mean I'm not still healing, too.
In todays episode I share my story with you about my disappearing act this summer, as the perfect storm came and settled into my life for a spell.
Health is often a big challenge for Sensitives, because our systems are so sensitive and give us such great information and feedback! But this can be rather painful and feel very difficult to actually live through.
I share my story so that you might gain insight into your own, and know that you aren't alone!

The Sensitive's Shadow
This week's episode is long overdue! Sensitivity as a Superpower is something I talk about a lot on the podcast, and the Shadow Aspects of Sensitivity are just as important.
Because recognizing, understanding, and accepting our shadow side is absolutely essential for any Sensitive who wants to feel more loved, whole, and empowered.

Reparenting Your Sensitive Self - with Laura Ann
In this episode I talk about the importance of Reparenting yourself. It is an essential step on the healing journey for Sensitives!
What we internalize as Sensitive Children is still informing how we are showing up for ourselves as adults, the choices we make and the paths we take. Reparenting is SUCH an important piece of learning how to love and accept yourself as a Sensitive! SUCH a beautiful opportunity to meet the needs you had as a Sensitive Child that weren't seen or understood. This is part of Inner Child Work, and it's both empowering and transformative.
Listen to this episode for some tips on how to reparent yourself, start to reprogram some of the limiting beliefs your younger self internalized, and embrace your Sensitivity as the Superpower it can be!

Essential Self-Care for Sensitives - with Laura Ann
This episode gives you the essentials you need to really thrive as a Sensitive! It was actually really challenging to boil it down to this little list, but it’s important to know what exactly to be prioritizing to get the most benefits from the time and energy you invest into self-care.
Also, something I love about being a Sensitive is that we are actually more receptive to the benefits of self-care BECAUSE of our sensitivity! Grab a pen and paper and let this episode guide you in up-leveling the ways in which you show up for yourself.
As promised in the episode, you can receive your Empath’s Guide to Thrive here.

The Power of Self-Awareness and Gratitude - with Naranjan Nota
In this episode I had the honor of connecting with Naranjan Nota, Spiritual Guide, Mentor, and Teacher. She helps you identify how others’ opinions and judgments may deter you from meeting your goals, both personally and professionally. She dives deep into the core karmic issues that manifest as anxiety, depression, lack of self-esteem/self-worth, and a fear of being visible, and transforms them into understanding, knowledge, and wisdom resulting in joy, peace, and an enhanced feeling of compassion towards oneself and others.
In this episode we explore themes around gratitude, self-awareness, how to protect your energy, and how to practice turning towards oneself in the ever-evolving relationship we have with ourselves and the world around us. How to do this with compassion and grace, and how to continually and courageously show up to meet yourself and re-identify yourself again and again on the healing and empowerment journey that is life!

Simple Shifts Create Quantum Leaps - with Amanda Kate
Amanda Kate, Author, Kinesiologist, Mentor, and Life Coach…is also a firecracker! I love that she demonstrates how Empaths and Sensitives aren’t just shy and quiet, but can take up space and be beautifully expansive and dynamic.

Always growing, developing and learning new ways of being to, hopefully, one day leave the Earth better than she found it. She helps people to regain their vitality, smashing through their internal glass ceiling and limitations to find new levels of health, vitality and abundance. She also works with business owners to increase their vibration and attract greater wealth and prosperity.
In this episode Amanda Kate and I talk about trusting yourself, learning how to listen to and act on your intuition, nervous system responses (people pleasing is a Fawn response!), spiritual bypassing, the importance of embodiment, staying grounded, and making simple shifts to effect big change.
