info_outlineIn this week’s episode of Collective Guidance, I sit down with my dear friend Kathy Clair-Hayes — a psychotherapist, astrologer, and energy intuitive whose wisdom runs deep. We talk about what it means to be energy sensitive in today’s busy, often chaotic world, and how we can stay grounded, awake, and aligned through it all.

In this conversation, we explore:
- Why being energy sensitive is actually a gift
- How grounding helps us regulate our nervous systems
- The importance of knowing what energy belongs to you — and what doesn’t
- How to move from emotional exhaustion to energetic clarity
- Ways to bring playfulness and joy back into your life
