The Sunday Soother: Recent Episodes
Catherine Andrews
Welcome to a podcast all about authentic living and compassionate, holistic personal development, geared towards the highly sensitive person. Catherine Andrews, the author of the popular Sunday Soother newsletter, discusses topics like self-worth, boundaries, emotional intelligence, recovering from people-pleasing and perfectionism, personal growth, holistic tools, and more. She also shares tips for how to reduce overwhelm as a highly sensitive person and learn to thrive and flourish as your authentic self. If you're interested in knowing yourself more deeply, living your life more meaningfully, and growing as a person with space for wisdom and compassion along the way, this is for you. The podcast comes out every Sunday morning.
Hey Soothers! This is audio from my group call today inside the Imperfect Artist's Way. It was a message about capability, power, compassion, struggles with shame and the highly sensitive person's nervous system. Something in me told me more folks needed to hear it, so I share this audio with you today. It includes a Tarot reading, a bit of a lecture, a nervous system exercise, journaling and a meditation.
Hey Soothers! Glad to be here. I've got as an episode for you today, more of a casual voice note, walking through the woods, as I share what's been going on behind the scenes in my life lately.
I'm talking about the (sometimes painful) process of growing into a new voice and stepping into a bigger version of myself, and all the discomfort and doubt that brings up. I get into how my sense of identity is shifting (is it ever not?? sheesh), how I'm navigating a season that feels really fallow and in-between, and how spiritual loneliness and frustration with others not voicing their spiritual beliefs publicly is something I'm sitting with lately too.
If you're in a liminal season yourself, where things feel slow, uncertain, or like you're not quite who you used to be but not yet who you're becoming, I hope this episode feels like a warm cup of tea and a reminder that you're not alone.

Hey, Soothers! Here’s my Tarot reading for the month of April 2025, for all.
Feels like an understatement to say that growth isn’t always easy—it expands us, stretches us, and sometimes contracts us before we bloom again.
But this month's Tarot reading for April wants us to remember this: nature moves in rhythms—trees shed their leaves before budding anew, the ocean tides pull back before surging forward, and the moon wanes before it waxes.
Just like the natural world, we, too, grow in cycles of expansion and contraction. There are seasons of stretching beyond our comfort zones and seasons of retreat, rest, and integration. Trust that both are necessary.
This collective reading reminds us to embrace the sweetness of the present moment, trust that our spirit guides are always near, and move at the pace our soul needs while we go through whatever cycle is occuring.
There’s no rush. Let life unfold in divine timing. Center yourself as the expansion or contraction (or both!) occur.

Hey, Soothers! Here’s my Tarot reading for the month of March, for all readers.
The cards had a very clear message for the month ahead: You are not alone, and your voice carries more weight than you realize.
Spirit, ancestors, your higher self, whoever, are surrounding you, ready to assist—but they need you to ask. At the same time, this is not a moment to stay silent or shrink back. Your words, ideas, and truth matter.
Whether it’s speaking up for yourself, sharing your wisdom, or calling in the support you need, March is a time to embrace both the power of your voice and the deep well of guidance available to you.
Watch the video or listen to the audio for guidance, assignments and ideas on how to do this.
Happy March!
Hey Soothers! I'm putting up a replay of my recent webinar, 7 ways to navigate perimenopause as a highly sensitive person.
Are you struggling with the fatigue, hot flashes, anger and irritability and other symptoms of perimenopause, as a highly sensitive person? Then this webinar is for you. We'll discuss 7 strategies the HSP can use to best navigate the ritual fires of perimenopause.
And my brand-new course, The Perimenopause Reset, is now open!
The Perimenopause Reset is an 8-week journey designed for sensitive women like you.
You’ll learn how to:
- Work with your body instead of fighting against it.
- Use simple, proven techniques to calm your racing mind and finally sleep through the night.
- Balance your hormones naturally with strategies rooted in ancient wisdom and backed by science.
This isn’t about pushing through or pretending everything’s fine.
It’s about embracing your sensitivity as your superpower and using it to thrive during this transition.
Imagine waking up refreshed, staying calm even on chaotic days, and having the energy to be there for your loved ones and the change you'd like to make in society.
It’s time to take control.
Click here to see how The Perimenopause Reset can help you feel like yourself again.
The course is on earlybird pricing of $297 (payment plans available) until Saturday at midnight.

It’s free and there will be a replay provided. I’ll be teaching the 7 tactics I’ve used to thrive through perimenopause, and you’ll receive a better understanding of non-medical options to minimize perimenopause symptoms. Register for free here.

Hey Soothers. I hope you are well. I am returning from sabbatical with more urgency than I had imagined, given that Trump has won a second term and we are entering scary, chaotic and even stranger times, politically, societally, and spiritually. I asked Tarot what is the guidance podcast listeners most need to hear now, in the wake of the election results, and I received card #1 of the Major Arcana of Tarot: The Magician. Tune in to receive some short guidance around the magic and the medicine of this card. Don't know or care about Tarot? Still check in; I think you'll find some motivation in this episodes.
I'll be back soon-ish with more — life updates from my sabbatical, wedding, and new offers.

Say that five times fast! That's right, me and the Soother (and Instagram, and most of my work) are taking three months from August - early November to have a break. Listen in for what prompted me to do this, how I'm feeling about it, and what I hope to do and learn!

Hey Soothers! A while back I had this idea to, every once in a while, interview intuitives and healers on their health and self-care routines. I don't know about you, but I'm the kind of person who could read an entire magazine based on people's morning routines alone, so I thought it would be fun to do this for us on this podcast, too. Energy and self-care and health routines are also just extra important to the intuitive empath, to help ground and settle us. And the first person I thought of was my dear friend and colleague, energy healer Missy Toy Ozeas! In this episode Missy and I go into extremely granular detail on our morning routines, our diets, self-care routines, skin care routines, and more! Enjoy!
Missy and I have also launched the Empath Visibility Accelerator (EVA)! This is our 12-week program for big-hearted HSPs and empaths who want to be more visible in their work in the world, especially if you have spiritual and intuitive gifts but are a little scared to talk more publicly about them. We get it. In the 12 weeks we'll teach you the exact tactics we used to go from very socially anxious, extremely shy women who hid behind corporate careers working for others, to visible spiritual workers showing up bravely in public. EVA starts July 10th, see you in there!

Hey Soothers! A while back I asked for anon listener Qs that I could delve into in my podcast, and y'all delivered! I think I might make this a two-parter because I got a lot of great questions - thank you very much. In today's episode I answer Qs on the following:
- How I'm currently feeling about life coaching
- How I stay so productive
- How you can stay spiritual when you realize you also crave the male gaze/feeling beautiful/you're worried your vain
- Resources and practices for perimenopause
- Why I chose not to pursue medication or a diagnosis for ADHD
I'll answer the rest I got in a future episode, too!

Hey Soothers! EMFs, HSPs, all the acronyms. Today I'm diving in on how I went from somebody who never once thought or worried about non-native EMFs (the electromagnetic fields and radiation produced by technology, appliances, cell phones, wifi routers, etc) to somebody who has started to see a lot of evidence that they are, at the very least, not helping HSPs thrive. I walk you through my own journey of realization of their effects in my personal life, and also then what I've seen and pieced together in my clients' health stories. Most of the conversation around EMFs I've heard has either been panicked and fear-mongering, or judgmental and condescending (that they can't possibly have an effect and anybody who thinks so is a conspiracy theorist) and I think there is a space for a middle ground to think about them and I hope to provide that for you today.

Hey Soothers, I'm excited to announce my next brand-new course, the HSP health course many of you have been asking for for some time: Recharge Your Light! Starting June 20th, it's a six-week course and community that will help you stop feeling drained and reclaim your energy, your light, and your vitality through holistic principles of nature, circadian rhythms, environment, and diet. Get on the waitlist here for $200 off and access to a free live HSP circadian living training I'll be doing.
To help you understand why the tenets in Recharge Your Light are so important to your health as an HSP, today I talk about how and why the human body is a battery system, made of a special kind of water, and charged by light and earth. When our voltage is high and charged? Our health should be pretty good. When it's low or drained? Health conditions and issues may manifest. Listen on for what we can do in simple and easy ways to charge our body's battery so we can have optimal HSP health.

Hey Soothers, I recently put up a question box to do a Q&A podcast (coming soon, submit your Qs here!) but a lot of the Qs I got were around hormonal issues - PMDD, peri-menopause, menopause, so I figured, why not just record an episode with all of my tips for how I have (mostly) healed my severe period symptoms and hormonal issues? And how I'm working to thrive through perimenopause and set up the path for a healthy menopause? So I did! Listen in for these 7 tips. Know they're not medical advice, but rather the (hard-won) lessons from somebody who started out with really horrible PMDD, went into peri-menopause at 38, and now at 44, is feeling, genuinely, better than ever.

Hey Soothers! I'm here to talk about our well-being and our bodies as electrical systems (which, spoiler alert, they really are!). This is why so many of us feel "drained" or "burned out" — in a way, we can think of our bodies as batteries, or lights. Some of us are well-charged and shining bright, and some of us are on our last 5% and feeling the effects. So how can we go from living low-voltage, tired, drained, to high-voltage, feeling vibrant and grounded? I talk about practical ways to start living a high-voltage life and share how I incorporate them in my day-to-day, too.

Hey Soothers! The Joyful Tarot starts this Tuesday, April 23, and in support of that I wanted to tell you 4 fun stories about ways Tarot was talking to me differently than you might think.

Tune in for these fun four stories about times when Tarot was talking to me in this style to try to help me and my clients out, and hopefully it gives you a new perspective on how you can use Tarot to be helpful and useful in your life!

Hey there, Soothers! Something I know about a lot of you: You are totally into, or at the very least, pretty intrigued by Tarot. But you find it a little bit... scary. Confusing. You're not sure you're "doing it right." Or other associations and fears may have kept you from engaging as much with the cards as you'd like. Well step back, because I'm here to make Tarot fun, joyful and intuitive for you, with my new course, The Joyful Tarot. And today I'll walk us through a method of reading and a simple spread you can use to make Tarot fun and supportive for you.

Hey there, Soothers! Do you feel stuck in life? Spring is a great time to get the energy moving, and I've got some tips on how to do it. I explain the concept of 'getting the chi going' that relates to Feng Shui, about how you can start to create momentum in your life around a particular area, and how I'm starting to do that this April on Instagram by doing a Reel challenge (follow me @catherineandrews).

Have you ever heard of the term aphantasia? Aphantasia is a relatively unstudied phenomenon that involves not being able to visualize images in your mind. Reportedly about 3% of the population have this condition, and I'm one of them.
I didn't realize til my late 30s that this was even a thing; I was shocked to find out that most people had the ability to go around doing what essentially sounded like hallucination to me. (I learned about it, as many people did at the time, from this article.) As I read more about how most people can easily visualize or play movies or images in their mind, I grew jealous, especially as I got more into spirituality and manifestation. A huge component of manifestation, meditation and other spiritual practices is often the ability to visualize your desires, or other images, in your mind's eye. I've also been told many times by random people that I'm psychic, but how can somebody be psychic if they can't see, you know, psychic images in their mind's eye?
Over time, I've figured out my own ways to tune into spiritual practices that work for me, even though I can't visualize. And that's what I'm sharing about today! Even if you don't have aphantasia, tune in, because these tactics can help everybody deepen their spiritual practices.

Hey Soothers! Today I share a life and biz update, especially around the upcoming revamped Sunday Soother membership! I'm hosting a free 3 weeks within the Sunday Soother Membership, with 6 free new classes to attend. Sign up for that here.
But also in this podcast, I share examples of how failures aren't failures, they are literally part of the process on the way to the eventual achievement of your goal. I share a few examples from my own life — from quitting drinking, to biz examples — and hopefully inspire you to think about your perceived failures simply as inevitable parts of your path.

I know a lot of you are motivated, you desire to work and live more into your purpose, and you also may struggle with impostor syndrome or an inner critic. You may feel far away from what you would like to become or be. So today I talk about the importance of consciously finding evidence every day about how you are ALREADY the thing or person you are desiring to be, right now, right in front of you, and I share a couple of stories to ground this concept.

UPDATE! This ep accidentally published early, but it works to your benefit - The Intentional Home is on earlybird for $400 until Friday, Feb 2nd, so dive on in!
Hey Soothers! Today, in continuing promotion of my Intentional Home course, which closes February 11th, I have a few fun Feng Shui stories that, at their heart, are about self-worth and what we think we deserve or are capable of. For many HSPs and empaths, I see blocks in self-worth and receiving, and also asking for help, or thinking we're even deserving of help. Tune in to hear three stories about situations in homes that showed somebody was really blocked in deservingness, and my tips for overcoming it.
Ready to go even deeper in Feng Shui and the messages your home has for you? My course, The Intentional Home, is open for enrollment until February 11th. This is my course that teaches you the tenets of home magic, energy work and Feng Shui, but simplified, made super practical, and accessible to anybody. After taking this course, you'll have a straightforward checklist and tools and tactics to create a nourishing, magical space that reflects what you want to create in your life!

Happy new year, Soothers! For this week's podcast, I am letting you listen into one of my regular Tarot readings in the Sunday Soother Membership. I asked Tarot a few things: What are the energies of 2024, and how can we best navigate these energies to our benefit? The answers I got were very clear, and I'd love to let you listen in so you can get a sense of what 2024 might have in store for us all. There's a bit of a meditation at the start, then some journaling at the end. Enjoy this Tarot lesson, and if you're into it, sign up for the membership! On January 25th inside the membership (Tier 3) I'll be teaching a workshop on how to use Tarot and the feng shui bagua map for goal-setting for the year ahead.

Hey Soothers! In today's podcast, I give guidance on a different way you can start to think about change and growth. Many of us cannot change current circumstances for whatever reason; say you want a new job or to quit and take a break, but you have to provide for a family; or maybe you really want to move to Europe, but you have to finish your degree stateside for a year. Not all hope is lost! If we can't change material or physical circumstances quite yet, we can still definitely begin to change energetically. This process is making internal and energetic shifts first towards your desired goal, and as you make those internal shifts, the external circumstances will eventually catch up. I share specific tactics for how to do this in today's episode.
This podcast is in celebration and promotion of my and Missy's brand-new, never-been-done before, group coaching program, The Energy Alchemy Mini-Mind. It's a 4-month group coaching program for HSP and empath leaders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries who are tired of playing timid good girl on the sideline and are ready to connect fully with their purpose and boldly step into and share their mission, their gifts, and their light with the world.
In the mini-mind (limited to 10 participants), every month we'll go over a different energy block that's related to your purpose, and lead you through exercises on energy clearing, EFT tapping, and feng shui. Think of me and Missy like your energy detectives/energy cleaners — we'll come take a look at your energy field, uncover what's blocking you from your purpose, and help clear your path forward.
Details all about the mini-mind here; we're on earlybird of $3000 (payment plans available) until Dec. 23, when it goes up to $4000. We start in January.

Do we all have a purpose? How do we find it? And what does energy have to do with connecting to our life purpose?
That's what one of my favorite people in the world, Missy Toy Ozeas, energy healer and intuitive, and I talk about today. Missy and I both stepped into our purpose-driven spiritual careers at roughly the same time, and today we talk about how other HSPs and empaths can discover their own purpose; we share our backstories about the fear and challenges we went through (and still go through!) in accessing and living our purpose; and we dissect how energy work can help you more clearly connect with your purpose.

Details all about the mini-mind here; we're on earlybird of $3000 (payment plans available) until Dec. 23, when it goes up to $4000. We start in January.

Hey Soothers! Even though I'm an energy worker (Reiki, Feng Shui, EFT) and energy is one of the most important tools I use on myself and my clients, I don't think I've ever actually EXPLAINED energy in a podcast episode before. So tune in for understanding more about energy:
- What energy actually is, and how we can start to think of it like dust
- How energy can positively and negatively affect us
- How you pick up energy that doesn't serve you
- Why empaths and HSPs in particular need to know about and work with energy
- How to start energy hygiene
- My favorite energy tools
Ready to learn more about energy and work with it? Come to No Drain December, Monday, Dec. 4th, 7pmET (lifetime replay provided), $27. We'll teach you energy tools used by mystics for centuries that are equally useful in today's modern world, as well as 20 tips and tricks to use right away to create better energy in your home.
Sign up for the Sunday Soother Membership, $44, to attend my year ahead intentional goal-setting workshop, Dec. 10, 12pmET (replay provided).

Hey Soothers! Today, I turn to some of my greatest teachers: Trees. The ways trees interact with each other has a lot to show us about how we are relationally with others, and where we might want to shift into patterns that better support us. I explain the behaviors of codependency, hyper-independence, and, ultimately, healthy interdependence, and share a metaphor about the ways tree behave that may help you better understand this behavior in yourself.
Working on healing codependency and hyper-independence is a huge aspect of Soothe, where we meet in small groups, become vulnerable with other people, and tend compassionately to ourselves as we learn to ask for help and rely on other people. If you heard yourself in this episode, Soothe will be so helpful to you.

Hey, Soothers! In this episode, I meet with my feng shui teacher, Amanda Gibby Peters, to take a holistic view of the power of feng shui for all people, but especially highly sensitive people. Us HSPs are particularly impacted by our environment, and when we choose to work with the tenets of feng shui, energy, and intention, we can really make some radical changes in our homes, and therefore our lives.
Amanda Gibby Peters is the voice and visionary of Simple Shui. She's been teaching feng shui techniques and tips for over a decade, witnessing the life transformations of her readers + clients. Amanda is Dallas-based with an international clientele. She lives with her husband and twin daughters, and chronicles her work at www.simpleshui.com.

Hey there Soothers! Today I bring to you a lovely, warm group of amazing women — one of my current small groups inside the Soothe mastermind! The small groups are the tender heart of my Soothe program, and by listening today you'll hear straight from a few of the women who are currently in Soothe! I know it's one thing to hear me talk about Soothe, and quite another to hear actual participants, so I hope you'll enjoy this beautiful group of women, why they joined Soothe, and what they are learning and taking away from the program. (And a lot of jokes and laughter — this group is a shining example of the fact that humor and play is healing, too.)

Hey Soothers! Today I'm so excited to have on Kayse Gehret of Microdosing for Healing. Kayse Gehret is a nature-based healing artist, author, founder and podcast host. With nearly three decades of experience in the healing arts, Kayse leads Microdosing for Healing - a nationwide virtual community around earth medicine practice - as well as the Best Practices Mastermind for Healers - a global collective of diverse healing artists & health professionals brought together for learning, strategy, growth, collaboration and visioning new healing models for the future.
I connected with Kayse over the summer when I took one of her programs. Today we dive into all things microdosing, from our how personal journeys using earth medicine both started, WTF actually IS microdosing, how microdosing in Kayse's experience has helped her clients with nervous system dysregulation, hormonal and menstrual issues, and feminine energy, and lots more.
I'll be incorporating microdosing medicine into Soothe, and Kayse is a big reason why — she taught me how plant and earth medicine helps heal us and helps us grow at a different level than cognitive and intellectual understanding can do.

Hey Soothers! Did you know it's been four years and one month since I left my corporate job and leapt into the great unknown of starting and running my creative online teaching and life coaching and writing and whatever the heck else I do business? I thought I'd take some time to reflect on lessons I've learned about running a business these past four years. In this episode I talk about why you don't need to f*cking scale your business, why regulation is the most important business skill you can learn, how 2023 has been for me compared to past years financially, what I'm noticing in what my audience is desiring, trends I'm generally seeing in the industry, and more. Enjoy!

Hey Soothers! Listen to a special replay of the Soothe open house I did this week. In the first half, we go over the Soothe mastermind and coaching program and how it is structured and what you can expect, and then around 30 minutes in (skip ahead if you're not interested in Soothe 2024) I share about my work with herbs, flower essences and plant medicine.

Are you finding yourself in a moment of transition, change, or upleveling? I know I am and I've heard this echoed from many of you in the Soother audience, too. As my work shifts and evolves, and I do too, I ponder today what we can do to gently support ourselves and steward ourselves as we navigate a time of uncertainty or upleveling. Plus, a live Tarot reading on this topic, too!

This week, I talk about how one of the biggest fear I see in women when they think about taking non-traditional or unconventional risks (leaving a job, moving, anything financial-related) is the big, scary fear of either being arrested/ending up in jail, or ending up homeless, or as a "bag lady." We may poke fun at ourselves when we name this fear, but it has a really serious, deep and ancestral origin that's based in historical occurrences of the past, and I want to dive into that today. Hopefully with this context we can understand where these types of fears come from, why they are with us, and how we can begin to move through them and heal them.

Hey Soothers! In today's podcast, I explain a metaphor I've been using a lot in my 1:1 coaching lately: That of the rock, and the river. In this metaphor, the rock is the person tossed around by the river, at the mercy of the river, without much agency or control in how it gets swept along. The river, on the other hand, is the life force that moves as it will. When we're in passive mode, not setting boundaries, giving away our power to others, we can think of that like being the rock. But when we're the river, we shift into a force of energy that is powerful. So tune in to hear about how you can become more like the river in your own life.

As I continue to talk about leadership and promote the Highly Sensitive Person Leadership Academy, a theme I want to touch on is that Small Leadership is a skill we're all going to be called on to develop in coming years. This is especially needed as we go into the diminishment of many larger systems outside of us, that we have up until now counted on to lead us. We're in a time when we're moving away from large, monolithic leadership, and we're going into an era of learning to rely on, tend to, step up within local communities. I know a lot of you don't view yourself as leaders, but I'm urging you to reconsider. Leadership isn't going to be optional in the future. We're all going to be called to step up in some way, whether we plan for it or not, whether we want to or not. And that's my mission with HLA. To give you the skills to handle leadership, when that time inevitably comes. That, to me, is small leadership.

In the final day of the HSP Leadership Summit, we discussed creating the identity of a leader. Listen in to this audio replay to understand and learn about how to shift into the beliefs, thoughts, actions and identity of a leader (or whatever area you're looking to grow into). You're always changing and growing, whether you're aware of it or not — and when you choose to consciously cultivate and grow your identity, and do it intentionally and with purpose, that's when real change can happen.

Hey there, pod listeners! Here is the audio replay of night 2 of my HSP Leadership Training Summit. In it, we share about impostor syndrome. And then I walk you through live Emotional Freedom Technique Tapping (or EFT) to feel deserving at the workplace, confident as a leader, and that will stop that questioning voice in your head, wondering if you’re good enough to do your role, or if folks are talking about you or questioning you behind your back.
Ever wanted to try EFT but didn't know where to start? Give this audio a listen where I walk workshop attendees through live EFT tapping and let me know how it goes for you!
In HLA, we'll have monthly EFT tapping workshops on leadership-related topics, that will then be placed in a library for you to use whenever you need, at any time.

Hey Soothers! Here's something I deeply believe: the body is a sacred vessel. It is the physical container for and way we express our heart, soul and mind in the world. However, too many of us rarely consider our bodies in this process, and it's hard to slow down to connect and listen to its needs and wisdoms. I find HSPs in particular can really struggle with this, as we may have had to disconnect early on in life from our bodies and live mostly in our analytical heads. But the reality is the wisdom of our bodies, and then the care of our bodies, is so important in our work, our leadership, and our life. So today I dive into one way we can begin to get back in rhythm and touch with our bodies — our menstrual cycles. Don't have a cycle? I'll teach you some nature-based strategies for aligning with a similar approach and energy.
The future of the world is leadership that is cyclically informed, respectful of our bodies' needs and wisdom, and aligned to a natural cycle. Tuning into our bodies and menstrual cycles is one important way to begin to create this future.

Have you heard of the concept of non-attachment — releasing shoulds or clinging to how people or circumstances should be, or attaching to material items — and thought, "Sounds cool, but hard, and uh, how does one do that?" Well, I was recently given a potent lesson in non-attachment and how easily I got attached to a particular outcome, and this lesson was delivered to me by unlikely teachers: two spectacularly cute kittens. Tune in for a quick explainer of how attachment can show up in our lives and how we can begin to release it and surrender and allow the flow of life in instead.

Hey there, Soothers! As you know I'm opening my Highly Sensitive Person Leadership Academy on September 5th to the waitlist (it'll open to the public two weeks later) and today I wanted to root and ground in on what I even mean by leadership. I think HSPs and women overall balk at the concept of calling themselves a leader, one, because we see what leadership looks like today and it's like... no thank you, and also possibly because it's simply not how we see ourselves. Today I'd like to challenge that assumption. I think each human on earth has the potential and calling to be a leader in our own way and I'd like to activate that within you and cast a new vision for leadership in the world.

I have a really true and deep belief that in how our society is unfolding, empathetic and heart-centered and feminine leaders will be the ones who are going to help us go where we need to go, because our entire model of leadership has been so warped and dominated by masculine energy and patriarchy.
As we move into August and September, I have a couple of free offerings I wanted to tell you about to help educate you on the front of what feminine and sensitive leadership could look like, and I talk about that today.

One thing I hear so many of my clients and audience say is that they desire to stop being so in their masculine energy in their life, but they don't know where or how to start. So today I'm walking you through understanding what feminine energy is, how we can begin to embody it healthily, and also, how we can use surrendered feminine energy both in our manifestation practices, and in our romantic relationships, too. Because many of us are embodying a controlling, critical element in the way we interact with the world, and often with our romantic partners, too, and I want to showcase some possibilities for showing you how to release that controlling energy (which is an unhealthy masculine energy) so you can regain some balance in the way you manifest with the universe, and the way you are with your partner. So let's dive in!

One reason I think so many of us roll our eyes at the concept of manifestation is that we assume it's about purely material things, or about getting large sums of money, and for plenty of us, those are topics we're wary about or that aren't that motivating to us. Also, many of us see the damage that unfettered capitalism has done to humans, society and the earth and are wary of engaging with a spiritual practice that seems to be about further material accumulation. But I'm here to tell you today, don't let capitalism — or your own internalized capitalism — ruin what can be a really beautiful and delightful experience. Manifestation isn't, to me, at its core about acquiring material items or showy amounts of money; it's about allowing the desires on your heart, from small to large, to unfold in the material plane. Tune into to listen to me tell stories of manifestation that have nothing to do with money or material items and why they are just as special, and how you can begin to have those experiences, too.

Hey there, Soothers! If you're anything like me, you might consider yourself a pretty logical, practical person. And... you might be a little spiritually curious, too. If you've heard of the concept of manifesting and are intrigued by it, but also think it sounds a little bonkers and cringe and gross, and yet, something in you still wants to know more, come listen to this episode. In it I talk about manifestation misconceptions, why you don't have to consider yourself spiritual to engage with manifestation, why we must consider trauma and privilege when it comes to the concept, and I give you very practical steps to start whatever your manifestation practice might look like. This is an episode for us realists out there, but who also maybe want to believe in a little bit of magic again.

Hey Soothe pod crew! This is another audio excerpt from my Instagram series, Wednesday Wisdom. Enjoy!
Welcome to another Wednesday Wisdom, where I coach and teach on concepts of leadership for the highly sensitive person! Today I’m discussing what I think is the most important, but least discussed or understand element of leadership, and that is leadership of Self.
This can be a complicated concept to understand but well worth your time. When we have self leadership, we are becoming the healthy, compassionate, curious and confident Self leader, internally, to many of our multiplicity of parts of our psyche.
We may have an inner critic. A rash part. A creative part. An inner child. An angry part. An overworking part, a people-pleasing part. We have so many parts, some which we may classify as “good” and some which may annoy or irritate us or that we wish would somehow just go poof
But we also have a Self. And the Self is our core quality of a higher self of sorts, that embodies certain characteristics, and is ultimately meant to lead, compassionately, all of our other parts.
In this Instagram live I talk about the 8 Cs and the 5 Ps - all the qualities of the Self - and how we can begin to cultivate our Self more.
Because when we can truly lead INTERNALLY, all of our parts that need us, THEN we can begin to authentically and powerfully lead others, externally.
Interested in this concept? I will be diving into Self Leadership in the Highly Sensitive Person Leadership Academy, which opens for enrollment in September. Get on the waitlist at catherinedandrews.com/hla for exclusive content, discounts and more.
What is my current journaling practice? What are my most effective styles of journaling? How do I begin journaling? I'm answering all of these Qs and more for today's podcast! I believe journaling is an incredibly powerful and potent way for humans to become self-aware, create relationships with yourself, and heal, and it can also be really hard to start or commit to a journaling practice and that is normal! But no worries, in this episode, I got you.
And on Wednesday, July 5th I'm teaching you all of my journaling secrets inside the Sunday Soother Membership. I'm hosting a workshop, "The Power of Journaling," where I'll teach you all I know about journaling: my regular practices; my 8 favorite kinds of journaling; my journaling routine; how I commit to journaling regularly; and whatever Qs you have, too! $44, you can sign up to the membership for one month, get the journaling stuff, and leave thereafter.

Hey there! In today's podcast, I'm sharing an Instagram Live I did last week, all about the importance of identity in leadership, especially as a highly sensitive person. Identity shifts are one of the most important aspects of change, and if you want to step into being an authentic leaders, you must change your identity from a Follower identity to a Leader identity. In this live, I talk about what is identity even, why most of us have a "follower identity" (and how it's even encouraged), and I talk about steps and tools you can use to begin to intentionally cultivate a new identity, one of the powerful leader you truly can be.

It's probably pretty obvious that I'm super biased, but I think highly sensitive people are incredible, generally, and also, perhaps contrary to general belief, also make incredible leaders. HSPs are empathetic, intuitive, have an incredible ability to process information and make good decisions, and are authentic and kind. Today, as I gear up to launch the Highly Sensitive Person Leadership Academy, I detail what I think are the six superpowers of the HSP leaders. And, just to keep it real — there are plenty of things we struggle with in leadership too, so I also detail six leadership weaknesses that we can work on and address. Tune on in to see how you embrace and step into your leadership potential.

In today's podcast, I explore the concept of how burnout is often related to the overworked, overburdened inner child. I explain the basics of what an inner child is and how we all have one; how they become wounded; how we end up burning them out; and the solution — creating an inner child "play date" that gives them the rest, relaxation and play they so often desperately need.
Intrigued by this concept? I encourage you to come pop in the Sunday Soother Membership for June, where the teaching and workbook is all around Playful Healing for Your Inner Child. $44, and you can sign up, consume the materials for this month, then dip out after.

Hey Soothers! Take a ramble, both literal and metaphorical with me, as I recorded this podcast for you while out on a walk in nature (and bear with me, the sound quality isn't at its top and there are a few annoying clicks at the start — but they end, promise). I catch you up a bit on my life, how moving into the nature witch cottage has gone, how my identity has shifted, and some fears and scarcity I've been working through. I also share some exciting business updates and new offers inspired by my recent work with my biz coach. I'm launching two new ways to work with me. First up is VIP 1:1 days — either virtual, or with me in person here in my town! We can do a VIP biz day on your business, or in designing your life and setting some big and juicy goals. I also talk about my upcoming fall offering, the Highly Sensitive Person Leadership Academy (HLA) and how you can find out more about that!

Hey Soothers! Continuing my theme of May as money month, today I'm sharing a few adjustments that Feng Shui has taught me about how to call in more wealth and abundance into your life. Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese practice and philosophy that applies, as my favorite quote puts it, “the intelligent use of intention through environmental metaphor.” By looking at certain areas of your living space and making easy, doable adjustments, you can absolutely begin to reflect more abundance into your life. Tune in to learn these 9 easy-to-apply tricks to use in your home and watch the abundance come on in!

Do you struggle with scarcity, fears around money and feeling timid managing finances as an empath or a highly sensitive person? You're not alone. I find that many of us sensitive folks are not... great with money. Complicated emotions, guilt, family stories, shame or fear can keep us all feeling really scarce and struggling to increase our abundance, whether that's financially or just generally in the way we think.
That's why I wanted to have Cat Wood on the podcast. She's a successful entrepreneur who runs an executive coaching business, and her money mindset is on point (her podcast is even called The Prosperous Empath). I knew of Cat because she also came from a background in Washington D.C., where she worked for the federal government before becoming a coach, but this is the first time we got to connect one on one. We talk all things entrepreneurship, why empaths can struggle with claiming abundance, how we built our businesses, our favorite money mindset resources and lots more. When a Capricorn and a Taurus get together to talk money and biz, watch out; there's a lot of good stuff here!

Remember episode 195, where I ranted about how 'the universe loves a creative bitch?' Well, I'm back with a similar concept around money. And the question/reflection here is, would money want to be YOUR business partner? Money loves KNOWING how it will be used. Money loves being used to support the growth of others. Money loves a PURPOSEFUL partner. Money loves to be well-managed. In short, money wants to be your business partner. So are you being the right kind of business partner that would attract money into your life, or is money looking askance at you thinking, "I would not invest in that person, uh no thank you"? You're not alone, if so. Tune in to how you can become the creative bitch business partner that money just can't stay away from.

Triggers: we all got 'em, and we all want to have less of them! I think people believe or experience triggers as mental experiences, where we lash out at a person or take action we regret, but I'm here to tell you that triggers have everything to do with your nervous system and its capacity. If you can rewire your nervous system to be more grounded, hold more emotions, and not tip over quite as easily, you will get triggered less, and it's a beautiful thing. We can increase this capacity in a number of different ways, from diet to physical care to creating more spaciousness in our lives. So that's what I'm here to offer today, tips on increasing your capacity so you don't get triggered as often.

Have you really wanted to start journaling because you know it would help your emotional state, your mental health, your self-discovery, but you just can't seem to start? You're not alone. I had a flourishing journaling practice in my youth and then college but in my 20s and 30s couldn't get started again, and I see a lot of folks deal with this too. Sometimes it's perfectionism; sometimes it's fear of what you'll uncover; sometimes it's what I call "journal trauma," where somebody read your journal when you were young or otherwise violated your emotional trust and safety and it's hard to get back to journaling because of that. Tune in for more on this and tips on how to create what I call a "reparative journaling experience" so you can unlock journaling and all its benefits for you once again.

Hey Soothers! Let's go there: I'm talking about why coffee is, possibly - not always! - but possibly not a great idea for you or your nervous system, especially as a highly sensitive person. I discuss how we can come to rely on coffee as a nervous system regulator, the effects it can have on our physical and mental health, and share my own coffee story, which started at 16, and how I've (err, mostly) quit it. If you've been considering releasing coffee from your life, listen on in!

Hey Soothers! I talk a lot about intention-setting in life, but intention-setting will get you nowhere if your intentions are not crystal clear. The universe responds to specificity. So if your intention is "get a new job," that's about as clear to mud to the universe, which might deliver you a new job, but not necessarily one that would match the specifics that your soul needs. Tune in today to a short and sweet episode that hopefully will help you understand, through one of my patented tortured metaphors, this time involving party-planning, about why your intentions need to be crystal clear and specific — and how and why, when they are, the universe will surely deliver.

How about that! I started the Sunday Soother Podcast as a bit of a hobby and creative project back in January of 2019 and here we are four years later with 200 episodes! I'm quite proud of myself. To celebrate, I opened up my inbox for an ask me anything episode, so dive on into this episode where I answer questions on everything from discerning fear from intuition, to top books to read for someone starting on their self-help journey, to getting over a fear of Tarot, to my writing and creative process, and lots more.

Hey Soothers, I've been teaching nervous system education to HSPs for over two years now and in that time it's been revealed to me there is a very specific nervous system cycle we can get caught it: flight to crash, and the circuit loops over and over, leaving us exhausted and hopeless. Today I talk about how I noticed this circuit happening in my clients, what it might look for you, what can trigger it, and how we can gently begin shifting out of it to spend more time in the nervous system state of safety and social engagement.

Hey there, Soothers. Today I go on a bit of a rant about something I see that can really frustrate me in empaths and highly sensitive people: when we go into passive, roll-over, woe-is-me, "I can't do X because of Y" mode, or "I can't do X until I have Y" mode (especially around money). This type of thinking is so limiting to achieving our dreams and living our fulfilment, and I don't want that for you!
So, what to do? I talk about why it's so important to get creative in these moments as a way of regaining our personal power, and why the universe loves a creative b*tch (and why deploying my creativity and creative problem-solving in moments where I really did want to roll over and go into passive victim mode is a huge cornerstone of my success). It's pretty simple: the universe wants to play with someone, with a creative powerhouse to manifest its ideas, and guess what: because you are a highly sensitive person, you are incredibly creative and have a wildly powerful brain that's primed for problem-solving, if only you begin to view yourself that way.

Following up on last week's podcast episode where I shared the financials and practical how's of how I bought my 250-year-old nature witch cottage, this week I dive into the magical and energetic aspects behind the process. Tune in for how I tapped into intuition, magic, energetic techniques and manifesting processes that brought this magical house into my life.
I learned so much about magic, manifestation and universal energetic properties from the process of this house unfolding that I can't wait to tell you about. I also share techniques you can begin using for co-creation with the universe, too!

In today's podcast, I delve into the behind-the-scenes of the purchase of, as I like to call it, my "nature witch cottage" — a 250-year-old home in a town of 100 people in western Virginia. This was a dream many years in the making and there's a lot behind it and I detail it all. I share the financial details, how I got the money for the down payment, the aspects of generational wealth that contributed to the process, purchasing a home as a self-employed person, and more.
This week is all about the money and the process; stay tuned for next week where I'll detail the magic/manifestation/energetic tactics that went into it.
In the podcast, I talked about Ramit Sethi in the podcast but mis-named him, calling him Ramit Singh.

Hey Soothers! In today's short but sweet podcast, I remind us at the start of the year that all good change takes time. In fact, every major change I've succeeded at, every goal I've achieved, has been 2.5-3 years in the making and I talk about that today and how to nourish the (seemingly too long!) cycles of change in your life, too.

Hey there, Soothers, and happy end of the year. Today I want to expand on something I wrote recently in the Sunday Soother: to explore why gratitude can be very complicated or even impossible right now for some of us, not from a mind-based perspective but from a nervous system perspective that will hopefully give you some understanding of how and why you work and why you are not selfish or broken if gratitude, real, bone-deep gratitude has ever felt nearly impossible for you, even if you have so much.

Hi Soothers! In today's podcast episode, I talk about the concept of dominating and improving and fixing the self, vs. stewarding and tending to and nourishing the Self. This is a bit more musings on my recent Sunday Soother essay, We Don't Own, We Steward, which you can read here.
Owning means trying to "fix" ourselves so we can be something "more" — more efficient, more productive, skinner, "prettier", etc. Stewarding means we nourish what we've been given, honoring its truth, helping it realize its full potential, but from an energy of love, care and respect for what is.
This is the last week for enrollment in Soothe, my year-long mastermind for highly sensitive women starting in January 2023. Read more about Soothe at catherinedandrews.com/soothe and book your discovery call with me here. Soothe is open for enrollment until December 22.

Hi Soothers! Soothe, my year-long mastermind for highly sensitive women, closes for enrollment on December 22. There are six spots left; is one of them yours? Book a call here to find out. And today, to help you learn more about past participants' experiences in Soothe, I have on Hilary and Afua, who were in a small group together in Soothe last year.
We talk about the joy of finding other highly sensitive women and being in community for them in a year (or longer; like others, Afua and Hilary's small group continues to meet now); the relief and insight the Soothe program gave them; and we talk about the power of archetype work, including Hilary's archetype, a Soothe favorite, Diana Bowie - a mix of Diana the Huntress and David Bowie (trust me, it makes sense when you listen). Afua took a work sabbatical a few years ago, and Hilary started a work sabbatical while in Soothe, so we touch on quitting jobs too and what that's like. Enjoy this conversation!

Hi friends! This week, my year-long group coaching program for highly sensitive women, Soothe, opens to the public for enrollment. And to celebrate, I wanted to bring you an interview with some of the members of last year's Soothe!
This week, we have a roundtable interview with most of the women who made up the Thursday small group from the 2022 round of Soothe. Lynn, Jamie, Page, Blythe and Martha come together to share what being in Soothe was like for them; why they joined; the healing power of the small group vulnerability; the wisdom they developed, and learned from the other women; and their favorite parts of Soothe. (And much love to Carolyn and Lauren, who were als in this small group but couldn't make this interview).
Wondering what it's like to join Soothe, the year-long experience, and what the small groups are like? This week's discussion will give you deep insight.

If I know anything about my Soother audience, it's that you love to set you some goals. And I'm with you! Goal-setting is one of my talents. And, at the same time, as I've delved more deeply into alignment, energy, and connecting with my heart's desires, there are some things about goal-setting I've discovered that can actually be blocking us from achieving our heart's and soul's desires.
In today's episode, I'm delving into the difference between setting goals from your ego, and setting goals from your soul and heart's truth; how this can impact the goal achieving process; how to know if you are setting a goal from ego or from the heart; and share personal stories of when I was setting goals from ego and how I've moved more into heart-centered goal-setting.
Ready to set your goals in a heart-centered, aligned way? Join me for my annual Intentional and Intuitive Goal-Setting Workshop, Wednesday, January 4th, 8-9:30pmET (lifetime replay provided). Settle in with your candles, tea, cozy music and journal for 90 minutes of presentation on intuitive and intentional goal-setting, and tuning into your themes and goals for 2023. This workshop will be a mix of me teaching, live exercises, and a custom workbook to help you align to your word of the year and heart goals for 2023. Sliding scale from $22-$66, get your tickets here.

Hey Soothers! As you might know, I'm wrapping up 90 days off alcohol (and caffeine and gluten as well). I've talked about this previously on the podcast and written about it on the Sunday Soother newsletter, and today, I invite on past Soother guest and all around delightful person Jillian Anthony, who recently did six months without alcohol, for a conversation around this topic.
Jillian and I share our previously complicated relationships with alcohol, what made us both decide to do these extended periods of sobriety, tips we used to navigate this time without alcohol, how or if we plan to return to alcohol, and lots more.
Jillian runs a wonderful newsletter and podcast, Cruel Summer Book Club, about exploring change and living well. You can also find her on Instagram @jillathrilla.

Hi Soothers! Have you ever heard about energy work, energy clearing, grounding or protection and wondered exactly, uh, what it is, how it works, and how you can start doing it? Today your questions are answered, as I have a lovely, in-depth interview with Missy Toy Ozeas, an energy worker and intuitive I work with on a regular basis and who teaches energy work and protection methods to highly sensitive people and empaths.
Missy and I dive into what exactly energy is; how you can clear and protect your energy; what an energy worker can do for you; how, when Missy is working on me and my energy in DC, from her place in California, how that works and what it looks like. It's a very cool and practical episode that explains how this intangible and hard-to-describe process of energy healing really works.

Hey, Soothers! This week I dive deep into one of my favorite self-reflective and spiritual practices: Reading and connecting with Tarot cards! On today's podcast I share a little bit of my journey to discovering Tarot; how exactly I use it these days; and how you can begin or deepen your relationship with Tarot too, whether you do it for spiritual reasons or simply as another tool to add to your self-discovery toolkit.
Want to learn more after listening today? You're in luck. On Saturday November 12th I am hosting a two-hour workshop: Tarot for Beginners.
I'll break down the Tarot and give you practical tools to begin to build your understanding and practice of the cards in this two-hour workshop.
I n the workshop, we'll go over the following:
- So like... what is Tarot, even? And how does it "work"?
- The Major and Minor Arcana and their differences
- Each Tarot suit and what they mean
- How to begin a daily Tarot practice
- How to start understanding each card's meaning for you
- How to do things like shuffle, pull cards, store your cards, and deepen a relationship
- When and how to do Tarot pulls
- The energy from which to use Tarot and how to phrase your question for Tarot
- Best resources and books to continue to use in your Tarot journey
We'll also have plenty of time for Q&A, and I will do a few live readings with the group to help get you in the flow of practice.
Plus, if you sign up, you'll get access to my Tarot + journal prompts workbook, which journal prompts for each and every one of the cards!
I'll provide lifetime replay to this workshop in case you cannot attend live, or if you simply want to return to it over and over again as you continue on your Tarot journey!
Tix are $75 and the replay is lifetime, snag your tickets here!

Hi Soothers! Today I'm joined by my upcoming New Year's Eve retreat co-host, Kelly Barrett. This will be the third retreat that Kelly and I have led, and we'd thought to celebrate, we'd share our own transformative experiences with retreats we've been on, the reasons it's so lovely and nourishing for hyper-responsible HSPs to go to a retreat where literally everything is taken care of for you, the power of intentional rest and time dedicated to your own self-discovery and goal-setting, and more. We also go into exactly what we'll be doing at the retreat, soothe any worries our fellow introverts or socially anxious people might have, and just have a good chat!

Happy Sunday, Soothers! This week, I had a massive realization, which was also like, obvious, but sometimes it lands different, ya know? Anyways, the realization: I am the first female entrepreneur in my entire lineage (that I'm aware of). I am also the first unmarried woman in my entire lineage (that I'm aware of). I paired the two realizations and it hit me like a ton of bricks: I am meant in this lifetime to achieve what my mother, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, great-great-grandmothers and beyond could not because of the patriarchy: earn my own money from my heart's work, make that money MINE and MINE alone, learn to expertly manage the money on my own without the support (or interference/exploitation) of a man, and then share and teach this with others.
I don't know about you, but the majority of the women in my lineage were stay-at-home-moms and housewives, who, if and when they did enter the career field, it was to support their husband's work and visions. And I'm here to birth a new possibility.
Anybody who is interested in career, entrepreneurship, money management, and you need an extra boost of motivation and understanding, tune into this episode to reflect on what your ancestors who were women might want you to understand and learn about money in ways that they were not permitted to.

Hi Soothers! Today I talk about what it means to build and create and repair a relationship with the most important person in your life: yourself. I share why it can be so hard to know ourselves, our own desires, who we are, and give five practical tips on how to begin re-building and re-discovering this relationship with our Self, because it is totally doable.

Hi Soothers! This week, I and the 26 women in the first-ever cohort of Soothe close out our year together. As we do so, I was reflecting on my biggest lessons on healing and takeaways from this powerful group of incredible people; their vulnerability, their willingness to love themselves, and more. Here are seven of the most powerful lessons about healing I've learned from them, from my own experience in Soothe, and from what Soothe (which is its own entity, truly, I believe) have all taught me. Whether or not you're interested in signing up for Sothe, I think you'll walk away with some of your own wisdom and lessons for your own healing.

Today I explain what a mastermind is and why especially highly sensitive women should consider joining one as part of their healing process. We can often be hyper-independent -- we can do it all alone! We don't need help! -- and groups like masterminds, where we come together with other like-minded souls for healing and growth and accountability and love and BEING SEEN as we ARE, not as we think we need to be or should be -- can be a critical and powerful part of our healing process, of understanding that we can show up human, that we get to ask for help, that we get to be seen in our full emotional spectrum and that it is now safe to do so.

Hi Soothers! Today I try to connect the dots amongst two seemingly disparate things: The characters Vecna and Max from the TV show Stranger Things, and how to fight for your self-worth. Spoiler alerts for the show abound, and even if you've never watched Stranger Things, I hope this metaphor I share will land.

Hi Soothers! Today I riff on goal-setting. I'm a Capricorn with a Virgo stellium: I LOVE to set me some goals. But as I've shifted more into my feminine energy I've started to think about what goal-setting can look like from a more relaxed, spacious approach, rather than a lot of DOING in going after the goals. So today I set up a little mini workshop, so bring a pen and paper. We're doing a mini exercise around one of your desired goals, and I'm asking you to tap into it in an entirely different way: through feeling; through the five senses; and through removing limiting beliefs and addressing safety around the goal. Plus I give very practical and actionable tips at the end, like using EFT and affirmations in your goal-setting, too. Settle in and try this approach out on one of your goals!

Hi Soothers! Ready to try a fun experiment: A release control rest of September? In this episode I talk about what it tangibly looks like to release control, how you can begin to do it, and a few tactical ways to begin experimenting releasing control in one or more areas of your life this month. Highly sensitive women can really struggle with needing to be in control/do all the things out of a sense of something that's so critical to us: Feeling safe. But doing all the things and controlling all the people has such negative effects, it leaves us resentful, burnt out, and can harm our relationships. What if it could look a little different, a little more flow-y, a little easier? Let's try it out together this month.
Just think of it as a fun experiment. Let's go release control!

Remember the episode I did earlier this summer about how to get more of what you want in your life? (Episode 170, if ya need to go back and listen.) Well, I think the approach I talked about works for something all of us want more of in our live most of all: time.
In this quick hit episode I talk about how to get more time in your life, and it has nothing to do about prioritization, calendaring hacks, or productivity. Tune in for a unique take on manipulating, bending, and experiencing time totally differently in your life (with my special dusting of magic, as always).

Hey Soothers! Today I'm sharing a goal I am embarking on starting September 1: Going three months without alcohol, gluten or caffeine. I talk about why I'm doing it (reasons include PMDD, anxiety, health, and oh yeah, maybe some magic?) and how I plan to do it, and am sharing all of this here for some extra accountability and support around this! I'm not doing this to try to "cleanse" myself or be super restrictive, but more as a continued exploration of the substances in my life that do not serve me and how I end up being in a spiralic journey of on and off with them and how I can continue to deepen into the belief that I get to feel good and not ingest things that don't support me in my feeling good. I don't by ANY means think anybody else needs to do this kind of adventure — if there's one thing I've learned in life it's that self care, especially health and diet, are singularly unique for each person — but in case you're curious or been thinking about this kind of stuff too, listen in.

Hey Soothers! I'm excited to share with you the audio of a free training I recently did, How I Made My First $50k as a Highly Sensitive Coach and Business Owner. In the training, which is about 90 minutes (and it takes a few minutes to get going, so you might want to fast forward a few), I share the 5 offers I had my first year, how much I charged for each of them, and how much money I made on each of them.
Then, I share the 6 daily practices and shifts I made to learn to sell and earn money.
Then, I share 10 steps you can take in your first year to make money as an HSP biz owner.
Finally, we did a live exercise together that will help you map out YOUR first $50k and see that this is a possibility for you, too.
Ready to go after this training?

Hi Soothers! I'm excited today to introduce you to Meg Brackett of Yoga Brain! Meg took Secretly Ambitious in the summer of 2021. Just a few weeks into the course, she was able to make the leap to leave her full-time job behind, go full-time in her business, get enough clients to replace her job's income, and continues to make an impact today through her work with wellness leaders helping them with marketing, design, branding and communication. You can find out more about Meg on her Instagram @theyogabrain. Tune in to hear us discuss mindset, fear, how her business is going now a year later, and much more.

Hi Soothers! Today I talk about something I get asked a lot as a coach: certifications and if you need them or not in coaching. I talk about the dangers of permission-based culture; when it DOES and DOESN'T make sense to get certified (in anything, not just coaching!); and how to know if you are searching for permission out of a need of approval and safety, or because it feels really right and good to you for where you are in life right now.

In this episode I answer about certifications and if they are or aren't necessary; how to overcome perfectionism and fear of judgment in starting a business; goal-setting in business; some tips on boring logistical stuff I either was glad I did or definitely wish I'd done; and lots more.
I answer about 8 questions on today's podcast but if you want the real dirt, I'll be answering about 20 more Qs on a Secretly Ambitious wait-list-only video. Sign up at the waitlist to hear me answer Qs about running a business like health insurance, how to hold space; how to create boundaries and routine when you work for yourself; pricing; and lots more.

Today I talk about my journey of healing from codependency and people-pleasing through leaving the 9-5 system and starting to work for myself.
I never, NEVER desired to be an entrepreneur or to work for myself, but in my late 30s, after 4 corporate jobs, I realized... this ain't ever gonna change.
At the same time I was beginning my codependency and people-pleasing recovery journey, and realized that my codependency and low self-worth had THRIVED in the hierarchal, permission-based, patriarchal, rule-following world of the 9-5 and I truly had to begin to reckon with the depths of my people-pleasing if I wanted to ever be able to work for myself.
In today's episode, I talk about how I began to do that, and how you can too.

What's up my fellow people-pleasers, this one goes out to you. Codependency and people-pleasing stem from, at their core, a lack of identity. One of the primary ways a codependent struggles is because we never had the chance to develop a sense of identity that is independent of what others think of us. As we recover from people-pleasing and codependency, one small but effective shift is to start a daily practice of noticing when you're asking externally motivated questions ("What do they want, what do they need, what are they thinking about me?") and shift them to questions that are centered on the self.
Have you asked yourself what you need today? What you'd like today? What would feel good today? Start there, and let the path unfold in front of you. That's what today's episode is all about and how to start building these questions into your life.

What does it mean to surrender? And why do we struggle so mightily with the concept, and resistance to it? And even if we understand we must surrender, how do we actually start? I ponder and explore the concept of surrender in our lives in today's podcast.

People-pleasing. Money mindset. Permission mindset and employee thinking. Nervous system dysregulation. Fear of visibility. What do these all have in common? These are just a few of the things that block highly sensitive people from success in entrepreneurship.
When I started my own business, I thought I would have to learn like, Quick Books. Turned out what I actually needed to focus on was these 5 issues first. I talk through each of these today and how you can began to overcome them in order to start the business of your dreams.

Today I go on a rant that's been on my heart for a while: all about why your 9-5 is NOT more "stable," "secure," or "safe" than working for yourself and starting your own business. Trust me on this one; after nearly two decades in a corporate 9-5 environment, I can tell you this: I hate to break it to you, but your corporate 9-5 is not more secure than you starting your own business. I break down why that is on today's episode.

Hi Soothers! In today's podcast, I talked about a real-time trigger happened recently around a female friendship/feeling left out wound. I discuss what the trigger was, how I noticed it, moved through it, and healed it, and the powerful outcome it had for me. I also share 6 steps to how you can process and heal your own triggers. To be triggered is to be human, but there ARE tools we can use to support ourselves through it so we are able to respond, rather than react and regret it later!

Ever tried affirmations but they just fell flat? If you're anything like me, you know that affirmations are a big cornerstone and tenet of self-development but they never fully just... clicked for you. Maybe they felt fake, they felt lame, you couldn't really actually believe they would work, or the affirmations you heard about felt like such a load of toxic positive hooey ("I am a gorgeous goddess, I am a millionaire many times over") that you were just turned off by the whole concept and gave up on them.
Well, I'm here to hopefully change that for you today. Consider this your guide to practically creating useful affirmations in a tangible way.
Listen on for my favorite tips to make my affirmations really work, but feel authentic and useful, too!

The shadow is a psychological term for everything we can’t see in ourselves, or that we refuse to see. It is everything about us that we have been shamed about, or that we have chosen to reject in ourselves.
And shadow work is truly the work of discovering a hidden wound we may not even have been aware we had, and beginning to heal it so we can be our full, whole, authentic selves.
As Debbie Ford says, "The key to unlocking your true authentic power, opening up your heart deeply to love, and finding the confidence to go after everything you want in your life lies hidden in your shadow."
In today's episode I'll share what shadow work is, why it matters and how it helps you grow when you do it, how the shadow develops, and steps to begin your own shadow work.

Hi Soothers! I'm so excited today to bring you an amazing interview with Kelly, a past student of my Introduction to Intentional Dating course. She says of IID: "It was a very interesting and evocative format and it synthesized a lot of areas of psychology and energetics I wouldn't have ever placed in the context of dating previously. It helped me heal from the resentment of my prior relationship; it helped me be more honest with myself and clarify what I am seeking in a dating dynamic."
We also talk about how the course helped Kelly learn to regulate her own emotions and nervous system in dating, instead of needing the people she was dating to do that for her, which has helped make dating for her feel steadier and more grounded instead of like a rollercoaster.

Hi Soothers! I'm so excited today to bring you an amazing interview with Sarah, a past student of my Introduction to Intentional Dating course. She took the course... "because I decided when I turned 40 that I wanted to prioritize love (in all its forms) for the next decade. I spent a long time using my career as an excuse for being single, and realized my self-proclaimed workaholism was really just a way to protect myself from the fear that I was unlovable or couldn’t have the kind of relationship I really wanted. When my friend shared the course with me, I knew it would be a great way to put my money where my mouth was and do something proactive towards really prioritizing love."
Her results? Healed family wounds, learned to set boundaries, create self-worth, and oh yeah, met and recently got engaged to her partner! Tune in to her this sweet and tender conversation with Sarah.

Hi Soothers! I'm so excited today to bring you an amazing interview with Afua Ofosu-Barko, a past student of my Introduction to Intentional Dating course. Afua took the course with me in 2020 and says of it, "Course was phenomenal. Literally life changing. Not an exaggeration to say it amazingly impacted all the relationships in my life. It's the adult school we all desperately need." Afua and I talk feeling finally good and worthy while choosing to currently remain single; how the course helped her transform negative beliefs and understand her worth in dating for the first time; and how she now feels excited and anticipated for her next relationship, whenever she chooses for that to find her.

I also offer a couple of short live exercises for you to do to begin understanding mindset work.

What does the nervous system have to do with your dating journey? What DOESN'T it have to do with it, is more like it.
As we navigate the ups and downs of dating, and the areas in which our attachment styles may be triggered via dating, our nervous system is the lens through which we either get activated and feel threatened in dating, or feel grounded and secure. When we begin to understand dating through the nervous system lens, we also learn to source safety for our nervous system in ourselves, meaning we don't always rely on a person external to us to feel grounded and safe as we navigate the terrain of weaving a relationship together.
Tune in to today's podcast to learn what your nervous system has to do with dating, how you can begin to regulate your nervous system while dating, what attachment style triggers what nervous system response, and lots more.

Today I answer a reader's question about my ~journey~ to becoming a life coach. I talk about it all; the two or three years it took me to gain up the courage to get certified, then go full-time; the ups and downs of my first year; how I quintupled my revenue and impact my second year; and what I have planned for the next year and more. I share how if you're thinking about becoming a life coach (or any sort of digital, service-based entrepreneur) the steps you can take.

Hi Soothers! On today's podcast, I talk about a cycle I spent many years stuck in and I see you all stuck in too: the seductive self help cycle of the perfectionist fantasy goal, how it dysregulates your nervous system, crashes you into a shame spiral, and then sneakily seduces you into it all over again, keeping you stuck in a cycle of planning huge impossible goals to make yourself feel better than actually end up making you feel worse.
I teach how to interrupt this cycle and create attainable, sustainable goals that are important to you and help you back on a path of self-worth and gentle personal development and change.

Hi Soothers! Today I'm diving into a more spiritual episode as I explain lessons I've learned from my own spiritual journey and awakening that have led me to understand certain ways and patterns in which the universe tends to work with you as you grow along your path.
Join as I explain in practical, grounded terms concepts like surrendering to the universe, why the universe may "test" you as you grow, why trying to control situations or outcomes may be blocking the very thing you desire; and lots more. As always, I'll share lots of concrete examples and tips so you can start understanding these concepts more clearly and begin applying them in your life, too.

Hi Soothers! Today I address what I know is one of the most painful and pressing issues for my community: our inner critics. I delve into the story of my inner critic, how I didn't even realize I had one until my late 30s, what I tried and didn't work to heal it, and then the combination of inner child work, self-compassion, parts work and ritual that truly helped me heal her. Because your inner critic? She is the part of you that is your scared inner child, and it's time for us to go comfort her.
And I'll show you how. To help you heal your inner critic in the same way I healed mine, I'm hosting a workshop, How to Heal Your Inner Critic, Feb 27th (replay provided). This workshop will guide you into gentle relationship with your inner critic in a way you likely haven't ever experienced before. Part teaching, part live self-discovery and journaling exercises, part ceremony and ritual, this workshop will guide you into an entirely different way of experiencing and relating to your inner critic, that will allow you to step into self-gentleness and self-trust.

Why are so many of us sensitive women burned out? Addicted to productivity and doing? Feeling like we have to do ALL THE THINGS?!
In my opinion, it's because we've been over conditioned to use "sperm wisdom," aka our masculine energy and tactics, and it's far past time we shift into "egg wisdom" and our feminine energy as a way of being and doing.
I used to roll my eyes at terms like masculine and feminine energy and maybe you are, too, but I urge you to listen to this concept as I describe it because when I started applying it, it made huge differences in my life, and I want that for you, too!

Hi Soothers! Today I'm talking about the tricky topic of self-sabotage. What is it? Why do we fall prey to it? How do we stop doing it so much? I offer my unique take on how and why self-sabotage happens so often in the face of our goals and desires (spoiler alert, it's not because you're lazy or don't want it bad enough) and offer gentle tips for how to begin strengthening your self-trust muscle and moving towards the things you desire and deserve in life.

Hi Soothers! I'm back from my podcast break and I'm returning with a life update. It's been a lot: in the past six weeks my partner AJ lost his father; we both got COVID; we figured out plans to move into together; we stayed in Indiana for six weeks unexpectedly through the holidays; and I kept up with my business. So I'm sharing all of that today to just catch you up on how I've been. Remember, the messiness and pain of life is life, it's not just the part of life you try to get to to get on with "real life" or the important parts. We're here for all of it. Thanks to all of you for your beautiful support and love. Looking forward to returning to regular episodes!

Happy day-that's-not-Sunday, Soothers! I'm dropping this special mid-week episode to round up some gems of wisdom to help you get through the holiday season here in America beginning with Thanksgiving, but these hot takes can apply all year long. On my Instagram the past few weeks I've been sharing my tips on creating better boundaries with others, how to protect your energy while traveling or while staying in others' homes or spaces, and then my personal reflection on gratitude, why I (shocker) really struggle with gratitude practices, and what I do instead. I hope these help you!

Welcome to the final episode of Magic Month here on the Sunday Soother! I hope you have so enjoyed the wonderful guest interviews and my takes on magic. In this last episode, I talk about the magic that can be found in connecting with your ancestors, beginning to heal ancestral traumas, and finding your place in the chain of the universe by understanding your place in your ancestral lineage.
In today's episode, I give examples of how ancestral connections relate to magic; three stories of how I have connected with my ancestors; and then share several practical tangible ideas about how you can begin your own ancestral work.
After all, today is Samhain, and this time of the year is one in many cultures where the veil is considered thin and we are more easily able to connect with and honor our ancestors. So let us begin!

Welcome to another wonderful interview for Magic Month! Today I have a conversation with Siri Vincent Plouff, a practicing witch of over 20 years. We talk about how witchcraft is a potent practice that can help to rewild us, and get us outside of the worldview of capitalism and white supremacy and build something different, and also get us tangible results to better our lives, repair our relationship with the land, and sustain our communities. There's so much more including ancestral connections, Siri's work with their Nordic roots, folkloric magic, running a business as a witch, and more.
Siri Vincent Plouff, the Northern Lights Witch, is committed to ethical witchcraft inspired by the past, envisioning a radical future. They are a practitioner of Nordic roots and folkloric witchcraft. Through connecting with their ancestry, they work to heal and repair öorlog. They believe in a Nordic magic that is open to all regardless of race, sexuality, or gender identity.

We hear a lot these days about manifestation but, uh... what exactly is it? How does it work? What does it have to do with magic? And how is it different from goal or intention-setting (hint, I don't think it totally is!)?
On the podcast today for Magic Month I have Katie Jones, a Manifestation Coach, Breathwork Facilitator, and Spiritual Witch on a mission to help the world heal through the power of aligned, intentional manifestation. We have an intriguing and joyful conversation around the topic of manifestation and how you might be able to approach it in a way that works for you.

Hi Soothers, and welcome to another interview of Magic Month, where I'm interviewing people to help us better understand what magic is, how it works, and how you can begin engaging with it in the world. Today I interview Melinda Lim. Melinda is a multi-disciplinary witch who focuses on shadow healing and also helping the witch-curious decolonize their spiritual practices. She is also a lawyer who teaches witchy business owners the legal side of business. We have a wide-ranging convo on everything from her definition of magic and being a witch, to the importance of shadow work, her Tarot and ancestral practices, how she's integrating being both a lawyer and a witch, and so much more!

Hello Soothers, happy October, and happy MAGIC MONTH!!! That's right, on the Sunday Soother, October is a theme of magic. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to dive deep into magic. What do you think of when you magic? Harry Potter shooting bolts out of his wand? A magician drawing a rabbit out of a hat? A witch stirring over a cauldron deep in the woods? Chanting spells in a dark room with a coven?
As somebody who deeply believes in and uses magic in her life I wanted to redefine magic, help you to understand it practically, and why it's really not that different from topics you're already learning from me: intention, authenticity, inspired action, intuition.
Tune in to today's episode to hear how I define magic, how and why I use magic in my life, my experiencing learning to trust in magic, and some simple ways you can start to practically apply magic in your own life (no, you don't have to identify as a witch or do complicated spells with complicated ingredients).
I'll also preview the three amazing witches I'm interviewing the rest of the month.
Even if you don't believe in magic or are skeptical about it, I encourage you to tune in, the exercises and approaches I'll be teaching today can be used by anybody, whether or not you believe they're "magical."

Hi Soothers! Today I offer you several practices and exercises to step out of the self-pity cycle and step into your intentional, authentic power. Sensitive women often are stuck in self-pity as a mode of staying safe, and it can be hard for us to release it because it often feels scary to do so and step into our power. I'm here to offer you gentle perspectives and exercises on how to begin to unhook from self-pity, and step into your authentic self.

In today's podcast episode, I'm talking about something a little wacky sounding: the "how" of your goal or desire actually literally doesn't matter. I teach you three approaches that show you energy, thoughts, identity, and being the person who already has the goal is the best way to go after your heart's goals and desires, not to mention more efficient and effective. Stop trying to go after your goals from the "how" and action approach, and instead try on shifting your identity first.

In today's episode, I talk about the concept of "the thorn" from spiritual teacher Michael Singer: the core wound around which, consciously or unconsciously, we build our lives to ensure that the thorn and its wound is never touched.
While keeping our thorn safe is ultimately and originally an act of protection and salvation, as we grow, it becomes a limiting way of living, and I discuss how we can begin to actually be with and heal the thorn and its wound instead through shadow work.

Hi Soothers! Inspired by a woman who did a discovery call for Soothe who asked me, "Where do you want to see the women in this group in a year?" (thanks Sarah!) I answered: "In partnership and allyship with their thoughts, emotions and nervous system, instead of in denial or shame about them, or at the mercy of them."
So that is the topic of today's episode! I discuss what it means to be in true equal partnership with these areas of ourselves, instead of in denial (repressing or blaming ourselves for our nature) or at the mercy of (victimized and reactive to these parts of ourselves).
Stewardship and partnership in these areas will be a cornerstone of my upcoming mastermind for sensitive women, Soothe. You can read all about Soothe here, and book a discovery call about it here. Enrollment closes in the third week of August and we kick off in September!

In today's episode I talk about how we as sensitive people can stop outsourcing our emotional states and emotional power to other people and reclaim emotional responsibility and agency in our lives. I talk about why emotional outsourcing develops in sensitive people; what true emotional agency is and isn't about; and strategies for how we can more consciously choose to accept, regulate and respond from different emotional states.
Emotional resiliency, regulation and agency will be a cornerstone of my upcoming mastermind for sensitive women, Soothe. You can read all about Soothe here, and book a discovery call about it here. Enrollment closes in about a month (mid-August) and we kick off in September!

Hi Soothers! Today's podcast is audio from a recent IG Live I did, all about how you can increase your emotional resiliency as a highly sensitive person. I think many of us sensitive souls assume emotional mastery and resiliency will never be a possibility for us because we just feel SO deeply and so much and, like, all the time, but let me tell you: it is not so! Emotional resiliency is well within grasp for you, with a little patience, learning, mentorship and creativity.
Learning emotional resiliency so you can achieve the life of your dreams is a cornerstone of my upcoming mastermind for sensitive women, Soothe. You can read all about Soothe here, and book a discovery call about it here.

In today's episode, I revisit the concept of "the gray fog" from episode 103, and I help you understand 3 ways you might have gotten there. I also help you understand why, as a sensitive person, you are actually built as an exquisite, world-changing technology, and how you can begin to use this technology both in your favor and to help change the world for the better. This is your sensitivities turning into superpowers, my friends.

In today's episode, I give you a little catch-up on my life, how I'm navigating post-vaccine life acceleration (poorly!) and I tell about a little concept I call "the gray fog:" the state of murky fear and disconnection that sensitive women can end up in, simultaneously feeling like "I have a good life, I should feel more grateful," "And how the hell did I end up here and what can I do about it?"
Stay tuned next week where I will detail the 3 ways in which sensitive women end up in the gray fog, and give you more information about Soothe, my year-long mastermind for sensitive women.

Do you ever try to calm down in a moment of anxiety or anger by breathing or meditating and actually end up feeling worse? You're not alone. I see people try to take care of their nervous systems with a bandaid approach that doesn't help sustain long-term wellbeing. In today's episode I discuss what the nervous system does; its different states; how we can cultivate self-compassion by better understanding how our nervous system works; why regulating and taking care of it in a preventative, holistic and regular way is important; and share several tips for how to do that.

It's been 100 episodes of The Sunday Soother!!!
To mark this occasion, I'm sharing my philosophy and approach of personal transformation that I call the forest, the meadow, and the river of misery.
Many of us are living in a forest without realizing it. Some of us make it to out the forest only to be faced with what I call the river of misery: the difficult experience of truly going after the dreams we want, whether it's self-love, a partner, or a new career. Most people will turn back from the river of misery, assuming because, well, it's miserable, that something has gone wrong. But it hasn't. And if you can cross the river of misery, you can root and flourish in the truly beautiful meadow beyond its banks.
I learned the phrase "the river of misery" from Brooke Castillo of the Life Coach School and I forgot to credit her in the audio. ALSO I SEE A SNAKE AND I SCREAM REALLY LOUD during the recording, my apologies (I was recording outside as I am wont to do),
Finally, at the end of the podcast I tell you about my upcoming mastermind for sensitive women, Soothe. The waitlist for that is here.

In today's podcast, I talk about thought work and self-coaching: the tools by which you can literally learn to change your negative/unsupportive/intentional thoughts to get better results in your life.
I've found these tools very powerful. But there was a steep learning curve for me in using them, and, I suspect, for other sensitive people who struggle with a larger volume of thoughts; more negative thoughts in general; and a reluctance to explore our negative thoughts.
But I want you to get the results that you desire in your life, and the more I use this model, the more I acknowledge: our results begin with our thoughts. So if we want better results, we must learn to change our thoughts.
In this episode I teach you how I have adopted and adapted thought work as a sensitive person to get great effects. This is not positive thinking: this is identity and belief shifting work that can give us the life of our dreams.

In today's brief podcast ep, I talk about two inevitable realities when it comes to your own healing and personal growth: It often really sucks and is painful for a while; and also, you don't have to wait til you're "healed" (or less anxious, or thinner, or more confident, or less wounded, or in a better job, or whatever thing you've told yourself you have to be, or solve,) to begin living your beautiful life. Do it, right now.

You may know I'm a spiritual person... but I wasn't always. Just a few years ago I was an atheist, didn't know anything about Tarot or astrology, and didn't consider myself to have a life purpose, And now... I do! How did that happen? And if you're curious about becoming a more spiritual person, where could you start? How can you learn to create space for magic, delight, meaning, trust and connection in your life?

Hi Soothers! As I spend the rest of winter running my current courses + group coaching programs I'll probably be taking a little (temporary!) break from this here podcast, so before I step back I wanted to catch up, say hi, drink some tea and tell you about a few things in my life as of late!

Truly, I ran the gamut here.

In today's episode, I ponder the question: Why is dating actually really hard and confusing for some people? Because, it is! And it's not because anything is wrong with you.
After running my dating course for a year, and seeing what was at hand for the people taking the course, I have more insight on this topic and why dating can feel like a minefield for some of us.
In this episode, I share my experiences with vulnerability, struggles to relate authentically with others because of a few things in my childhood and upbringing (even though it was a "good" one!), my take on the "fearful-avoidant" or "disorganized" attachment style, and how to start moving past these difficulties and confusion.
My dating course is now open for enrollment here!

Hello, Soothers! Today's podcast is a replay of an IGTV training I did on how sensitive people can begin to overcome perfectionism, people-pleasing and fear to contribute more meaningfully to social justice and the fight against white supremacy.
Because the audio is taken from Instagram it's not great, so my apologies, but I hope you find value in the content. In the podcast I discuss:
- 5 reasons why sensitive people may struggle with engaging as much as they want to in politics and social justice work
- 8 tips to begin to make it easier
- My 6-step personal framework for how I approach my own anti-racist education and participation in change

Hello, Soothers! In this podcast episode, I dive into the arenas of group therapy and group coaching. Why WOULD you want to get in a room with a group of strangers and share parts of yourselves? Well, listen in, and you'll see. I talk about my own 8 years in group therapy and the benefits and transformation it provided me; the two group coaching programs I run (that are open for enrollment now!) and how they've changed my life and those of the women who have participated; and the three kinds of people who, in my opinion, may especially benefit from group coaching.

Looking for some guidance about how to set intuitive and authentic goals in 2021? Today, I'm sharing the audio from a training I did recently where I guided folks through reflections, journaling, and a model for goal-setting to aim for nourishing, intentional goals in the coming year.
You can access the workbook I use in this training at this link. [PDF]
I kick off with introductions and an overview of my end-of-year reflection formula and goal-setting approach. Then there's a spot in the training where folks journaled silently for about 45 minutes, which I've edited out, but I encourage you to hit pause on the podcast when it comes up to do your own journaling. Finally towards the end doing some sharing and I do a bunch of Q&A from attendees about intuition, goal-setting, overcoming perfectionism, and more!

In last week's episode, #73: How to use "thought work" to overcome negative thinking, I explained the self-coaching thought model that you can begin to use to start creating more intentional, supportive and positive thoughts. The model is great, but when you're first using it, it can really be hard to figure out new thoughts you'd like to think. In this episode, I offer my thoughts and tips on how you can overcome negative, unintentional thoughts with new ways of creating your own thoughts.

In today's episode, I'm discussing and teaching an approach that's changed my ability to have a more resilient mind. A mind that is less reactive. A mind that is able to observe itself, note when it's totally going off course, and redirect to a more fulfilling and productive outcome.
This approach is called The Self-Coaching Model (the Model for short), and though it may seem either too complicated or too simple at first, if you can start deploying this in your life, I promise you you will see effects that will have massive positive impact.

In today's podcast episode, I'm talking about self-concept and life context as tools for changing your life. Self-concept is your idea of how you view yourself in the world, and life context is your filter for experiencing the world. I talk about how most of us have either an unintentional or negative self-concept and life context and give you practical tools for how you can begin to shift into more positive ones to support the life you'd like to create.

Every week, I read my Sunday Soother newsletter as a bonus podcast episode. In today's episode, I discuss the are the four dominant types of self-care energy I see brought to play that don't work because they only leave you feeling more burnt-out, broken, ashamed, or empty. Sometimes I refer to these energies and the acts of self-care that stem from them as “dirty” self-care, the kind that we’re doing because we’ve been made to feel bad or dirty for who we are. Then I guide you through questions and reflections that will help you learn how to actually nourish yourself.

Today I'm sharing the audio from my recent live training, Anxiety vs. Intuition: How to Tell the Difference.
Do you struggle with knowing with what you're feeling is anxiety, or intuition? You're not alone. Many of us crave getting in deeper touch with that intuitive knowing, but struggle with anxiety and overthinking, and wonder, when we're feeling something -- is it our anxiety speaking, or a true sign from our intuition? Learning to discern our anxiety from our intuition is often extra difficult in the area of dating. Is something really a red flag (or a green light!) or are we operating from a sense of anxiety and fear? How can we tell?
This training will help you tell the difference. I go over misconceptions about anxiety and intuition; walk you through the ways each feels different; then I share half a dozen practical tips you can start implementing immediately to help manage your anxiety and connect deeply to your intuition, today.

Today, I'm exploring the thought process around signing up for my course and coaching that I've had conversations with a few people with, and that I see really block people: "What if it doesn't work?" I explore why this is the wrong question to be asking about anything in life, and suggest some better questions for you to pose to yourself, instead. There's a common saying that the quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask, and I happen to agree.

In today's podcast I'm talking about something I see most people struggle with in dating today without any awareness of it: core negative beliefs about dating.
In my eyes, there are three core beliefs that are holding you back from getting into a secure, successful relationship: a negative core belief about yourself; a negative core belief about dating or relationships themselves; and a negative core belief about the group of people you are hoping to date.
If you see yourself in one or all of these core beliefs, you'll want to sign up for my brand-new online course, An Introduction to Intentional Dating, which opens for purchase this coming Wednesday! Early bird rates are open this week, and prices go up September 1st, 2020. Doors to the course close September 14th, and we'll get started that same week.

In today's podcast, I'm back from hiatus, and I'm here to talk about dating: why we learn to do it backwards, why that's bad, and how to change it!
I go over my upcoming course, An Introduction to Intentional Dating, and all the elements and modules included it in: our subconscious beliefs and patterns that may be driving our dating lives; why we need to learn better emotional and nervous system regulation in order to date better; and how to discover and articulate our romantic values, the qualities we need in a partner, and more. I also give you an overview of my past dating life, how I moved from anxiety and shame and codependency to a healthy relationship with my boyfriend where we just celebrated our one-year anniversary.
This can happen for you, too. I promise.
The course starts in September; make sure to get on the waitlist for it here.

Hello friends, and welcome to an episode of the podcast where I discussed 7 ways why engaging with your privilege and racism is necessary for your own healing, self-knowledge and growth — as well, and more importantly, to save the lives of and elevate the voices of people of color and vulnerable, marginalized populations.
If you're an empathetic, sensitive perfectionist with people-pleasing tendencies, in particular, you'll want to listen to today's episode. I explore the concept of "as above, so below" — how the external state of the world reflects our internalities, and why we must do personal healing and reflection in tandem with work to bring justice to the external world as well. I also discuss how shame, perfectionism and people-pleasing are no longer excuses we can rely on to not try to take imperfect action to address this scourge.
The 7 ways in which your personal growth intersects with your ability to reflect on your racism and white privilege are:
- Shame
- Boundaries
- Ego
- People-pleasing + perfectionism
- Self-knowledge about your role in the collective
- Spirituality
- Limiting beliefs
In short: If we don’t do all we can to reclaim wholeness in society we can’t also do it internally because we are betraying our very selves and souls when we allow injustice to exist outside of us. So if you are here for the personal growth and self-discovery, content, know that your own personal growth is deeply intertwined with how you engage with racism and white privilege, and that's what I'm hoping to unpack today.

Overthinkers, come on in — today's episode is all about you, for you, by your sorts of people.
In today's podcast I interview Meredith Arthur, the author of the beautiful new book, Get Out of My Head: Inspiration for Overthinkers in an Anxious World. In this hardcover, illustrated guide (I highly recommend you purchase the hardcover version!), Meredith offers soothing techniques for understanding anxiety and moving through the traps of overthinking. The book offers a joyful, manageable way to deal with anxiety and quiet stressful thoughts through easy exercises, bite-sized takeaways, and calming visuals. Which, of course, I am all about.
Meredith and I talk about all sorts of things, including our own dawning realizations that we were overthinkers who had anxiety, our theories on emotional overwhelm, and our strategies for continuing to move through and thrive in the world as overthinkers.
Meredith can be found at bevoya.com, the community she created for overthinkers, and on Instagram @bevoya.

Let’s dive into our birth charts in today’s discussion with astrologer Carolina Martin! Carolina and I trained together in our life coach certification program and as we became friends I learned that she’s studied astrology for 25 years and can basically see into your soul and psyche with your birth information.
Carolina and I discuss how you can gain greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and move forward more thoughtfully in life knowing things about yourself that astrology can reveal. She also gives me a chart reading, revealing what my chart says about my career, my purpose, my talents, my struggles in dating, and a whole lot more.
I also talk up front about how I’m still nervous and even a little ashamed to talk about astrology and how much I now believe in it. If you’re curious or even skeptical about astrology, I think this episode will give you a lot to think about. I know it did for me!
If you’re interested in having Carolina give you a chart reading, you can contact her at CarosAstrology@gmail.com or book a reading at her Facebook page. I highly recommend her!

Today I'm calling ya out. I'm discussing the 8 kinds of people who believe that they can't change their lives. Everybody from the person who engages in the "rescue fantasy," to the person who has forgotten the skill of dreaming big, and more, I detail the blockers many of us have learned or taken on that are simply excuses that allow us to continue to live small or in fear of doing the big, hairy, audacious goals that you secretly dream about.
I'm also telling you about my brand new course, An Introduction to Intentional Living! The course begins April 19th, with modules going out every Sunday for 8 weeks. For 8 weeks, through email, I will walk you step-by-step, using guided meditations, journal prompts, quizzes, self-reflection, and assignments, to help you get in touch with your values, your desires, and to create the self-trust you need to live authentically. By the end of the course you’ll have created 5-10 values-based, authentic goals; have an actionable plan on how to move forward with them; and most importantly, finally really know what you want out of life and how you’re going to get it.

I'm here today to talk about a topic I know we are all grappling with: fear.
I used to be a terrified person. I let fear rule and run my life, without even realizing that's what I was doing. Thanks to my personal development, mindfulness practices, and other strategies I used, I'm now able to experience fear, even have compassion for it, but not let it be the decision-maker in my life.
So today, I'm sharing the 10 tips I use to mindfully engage with my fear and move through it, and I hope they'll help you, too.

Today I’m so excited to have on to the Sunday Soother podcast one of my internet girl crushes - Sarah Von Bargen of YesAndYes.org. Sarah is a writer and educator who helps her audience spend their time, money, and energy on purpose. In a time today when many of us are probably reflecting on what is necessary in our lives and what is not, what makes us happy and what doesn’t, and how we want to spend our days intentionally going forward after social distancing, this podcast and Sarah’s insights are just a wealth of useful and practical information.
This was recorded in early March, right as COVID-19 was starting to impact the U.S., but before social distancing and stay-at-home orders.
In our conversation, we dive into a lot of great stuff:
- The difference between habits and goals
- If your astrological signs impact how you set goals and get stuff done
- Sarah’s 12-step yet simple morning routine
- How to practically rewire your brain to make good habits easier
- Why we’re both secretly rebels who question the practicality of how society is set up today
- The biggest blockers most people face when starting to create helpful habits
- Why we as humans believe the most complicated solution is the best - when it’s usually not
- How your success is often correlated to your willingness to be uncomfortable
- And so much more!

What happens if you’re in a long-term corporate career, you’re super successful, but you’re burned the hell out, and you dream of leaving to do … uh… something, anything else?
Sara Brown did this. She is a Sunday Soother reader who emailed me a few months ago to say my journey of leaving my corporate career to start my own thing — and all my reflection along the way — resonated with her. After a nearly 20-year successful career in corporate PR and communications, Sara realized she was desperately burned out and she just… left. I wanted to interview her to hear her story as I think the Soother community — and the world at large — are in a moment right now where we’re wondering if our careers are what we want to, or need to be, doing with and for ourselves.
Things Sara and I talk about:
- The surprising ways burnout looked like for us
- What it feels like to leave your job when you’re almost 40 and not sure where to go next
- How we both decided to make these decisions and leap
- How our careers were so crucial to our identities and self-worth, and how we are working to unwind that
- Our favorite astrological tool

Hey guys, I've been so frustrated with how I see so much of the Coronavirus' effects playing out in the modern workforce and leadership that I recorded a podcast about how to be a true, humane leader and manager in these times. Much like other structural aspects of society that have been broken for a very long time, the current chaos is exposing flaws in the way the corporate world is structured and in the way management happens.

This week, I get on my soapbox and talk about one of my personal passions: why I think intentional self-discovery helps fuel nourishing self-care, which then allows us to show up to create the world that we believe we need. I connect self-knowledge to self-nourishment and why that matters more now than ever for us to be able to show up in the ways that are important. If we can't create our own intentional lives who reflect who we are at our cores, we won't be able to create the world we want to live in, either. So let's get together to know ourselves.

"Most of us know what an unhappy relationship with food feels like. We may feel frustrated or annoyed or out-of-control or embarrassed or secretive. But what causes that unhappy relationship?"
That's the question posed -- and answered! -- by life coach Katie Seaver, who joins me on the podcast today for a wide-ranging conversation about our relationships to eating, dieting, body image and more. We talk about everything from compulsive eating habits, to what emotional and intuitive eating really mean, to shame around body image, and practical ways to reconcile and work through the fraught landscape that is diet culture today.

Earlier this week I did a Facebook Live breaking down common terms you might hear as you delve into your own self help and awakening journeys, and I'm bringing it to you on this podcast too. I define everything from what a boundary looks like, to what codependency means, to what an inner child is and why we all have one, to talking about shadow work and much more. I found when I started my own personal awakening journey many of the terms were confusing -- too spiritual, too academic, not accessible enough. I hope this helps make some of them more clear for you!

I recently had a client write to me about all the shame she felt around the amount of support she needed in her life. She says she feels she needs extra support; feels shame around the amount of support she hires and pays for; and wonders if this all means she can't trust herself.
Going off of this topic, I talk about the difference between getting nourishing support and not trusting yourself; why some of us, I think, DO need more support than others; and how you can distinguish what's right for you.

Valentine's Day is over but I'm still talking all about self-compassion and self-love on today's episode of the Sunday Soother. What is self-compassion? How is it different from self-indulgence? Why can it actually -- gasp -- make you MORE motivated to do things instead of letting yourself off the hook? And instructions on creating a "self-compassion mantra."

I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that people are lacking a sense of the spiritual or mystical or meaning or structure in their lives today — something that the function of organized religion used to provide in society. But organized religion isn’t really a safe space for many people to turn these days — or a space where atheists or people who don’t overall believe in the common narrative of a Big White Dude God can go.
But that doesn’t mean that even the most logical or practical of us don’t crave a sense of something bigger than the daily mundane in our lives, a sense of meaning or significance that we can participate in. I know that I — somebody who doesn’t believe in the traditional sense of god or religion as it is commonly understood today — felt I was missing something along those lines. So I started creating my own sense of the sacred in my day to day life through a series of small rituals that are now the fabric on which I build my days.
And that’s what I’m talking about in today’s podcast. I go over what a modern, practical ritual can look like; how I incorporate rituals into my day-to-day life; and several suggestions and starting points for you to introduce simple rituals into your life right now.

"I set out to change the societal view of singlehood."
"Dating apps can be a form of self-harm."
"The biggest thing I have manifested is self-worth."
These are the gems that came out of my podcast interview today with Shani Silver, a writer and essayist who is creating conversations about how society views singledom, and how we can change it.
Shani and I get deep into a bunch of stuff on this episode, and I was alternating between laughing hysterically and being on the verge of tears with her insights on dating, shame, self-worth, and why we can all be doing better for ourselves.
Shani and I talk work, love, and how fear and shame plays into both; why "single girls get the couch,"; our own personal development and dating journeys, highs, lows, and everything in between; the tools we have used to up our self-worth; and Shani answers three questions from Sunday Soother readers about dating, intuition, standards, and aging as a woman today.
This is a must-listen. If you don't walk away from this episode with an entirely new perspective on dating, self-worth, and what it means to really stand up for yourself, I'll be shocked.
