When Easy is the Struggle

Exploring the reasons easy isn't easy for HSPs, Survivors, and Empaths, to gain inner permission to practice and invite more ease into this life that brings enough of it's own struggle. By owning these dynamics we no longer accidentally self sabotage with the limiting belief that ease is lazy and struggle is right. Allowing ease is the ultimate self care strategy.

We explore the pitfalls of hypervigilance & continued anger & outrage in advocacy, especially for people who are working to heal trauma & struggle to keep the body in a state of calm.

Re-framing Our Inner Critic

I've never met a highly sensitive person who didn't have an overdeveloped inner-critic. This inner bully robs our progress, dis-empowers, and devalues who we are, especially when our energies are low. Without addressing the inner critic, we are at risk of digging mental health holes that become deeper and more difficult to crawl out of.
