Join our adventure today as I talk with Rachel King, a highly sensitive person (just like me) who found herself anxious all the time but eventually learned how to work with her body, instead of pushing herself to the point of burnout.

We talk about sensitivity, nervous system regulation, somatic connection, and finding calmness in the body. You’re not broken and you’re not alone.

E41 Values as a Roadmap

What guides you in life? How do you know what direction you are headed? Do you feel lost? Join me in this episode and I explore my values, how they have changed over the years, and how to separate your values from the values of your loved ones. 
 
Understanding your values can help. Our values are the guiding tenants in our lives that we have decided are important: the concepts and intentions that we try to embody and live by. They are also constantly changing. Let's gain some insight. 

E40 Representation Can Help You

Until about the 1920s, there were no reports of left-handed people, is this because no one was left handed before 1920? Nope. It was because it was seen as wrong and “evil” so no one reported being left handed. In the present day, more people are proud and out than ever before, is this because there are more queer people being born? Hell no. This is because representation is helping people feel safe enough to be their true and authentic selves. 
 
Let’s talk about why representation matters using examples of:
Left-handedness, and why it’s not evil.
Conflict in relationships, and how if it’s normalized, you don’t know anything else. 
And how to start the process of finding humanity in people different from you. 
 
You’re not alone, and your community is out there.
