Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) with Guest Becca 09/07/2023

Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) with Guest Becca Today’s podcast is all about... Highly Sensitive People!! Or, HSPs. I have such an amazing guest on the show today. Becca coaches highly sensitive people, and with her extensive background in behavioral health, she brings great insights and knowledge to the pod today. She shares about the HSP spectrum, what it means to be highly sensitive, the 3 types of sensitivity, and how to know if you might be a highly sensitive person. In a world that tells us to toughen up, HSPs have valuable strengths like creativity, strong intuition, empathy, and emotional intelligence. HSPs often have a great awareness and attunement to others experiences and emotions; this can manifest in both positive and negative ways in our careers, work environments, and also in romantic and platonic relationships. HSPs tend to have more passive communication styles, so we discuss how important it is to ask for what we want and need and to embrace the word high maintenance - our systems are senstive and they do require more maintenance, and that's ok! Becca shares some helpful practices for HSPs, like joyful movement, energetic hygiene, and taking time in silence everyday to let our minds wander. We have both come to celebrate our sensitivity as it allows us to have rich emotional experiences, a deep compassion for others, and appreciation of the beauty and little things in life. In this podcast we want to honor all the HSPs out there! If you are a highly sensitive person or think you might be... or you know a close friend who is… this is a beautiful episode just for YOU. *** Becca is an AMAZING resource for all things HSP. She posts high-quality content and actionable tips and strategies for all of you ambitious HSPs with big dreams.

Continuing the Conversation: Internalized Capitalism and Self-Worth 08/24/2023

Continuing the Conversation: Internalized Capitalism and Self-Worth Today’s episode is a follow-up/continuation of last weeks podcast on internalized capitalism and self-worth. I was inspired by several conversations (with you all) after last weeks episode, and I wanted to share some of those conversations and perspectives today. We talk about how parents can unknowingly exacerbate this voice of internalized capitalism and we explore how the work life balance of different countries could play a role in ones level of internalized capitalism. I talk more about the pressure of monetizing hobbies and the unnecessary sense of urgency in our society- to not just add degrees, certificates, skills, clients, etc- but to do it FAST. Lately I’ve been feeling really grounded and content, and whats been helpful for me is not asking how much can I do? and how fast? But rather, what can I let go of? How much can I not do? It’s really deep and important work to let go of some of these old structures and internalized beliefs about our value, after all, we can’t keep building the house if the foundation is shaky. *** Articles referenced in the pod: ranks the "7 countries with the worst work life balance" - with the 2 criteria being time devoted to leisure/personal care and working hours. An article titled ranks the 10 best cities for work life balance with 10 factors including: average working hours, minimum legal annual leave, maternity leave policy, etc. (I read the country names and not the city names- oops! Apologies for any confusion there.) that shares why the U.S. may be the most overworked developed nation in the world - this includes lack of parental leave benefits, lack of paid vacation time and sick leave, and no maximum work week length. There are so many more interesting articles - this is topic I'll keep diving into! *** What are your thoughts on internalized capitalism? How has it affected you? This is conversation I want to continue to engage in. Email: Or connect with me on Instagram: /episode/index/show/62fe8b31-16a2-44fc-9268-52807f87cf04/id/27835380

Pre-Europe Excitement (And Denver Discomfort) 05/11/2023

Pre-Europe Excitement (And Denver Discomfort) I'm preparing for a month of travel, so in today’s episode I talk about the excitement and anticipation I’m feeling as I get ready to return to Europe! There’s so many juicy feelings that accompany international travel- wildness, freedom, the bliss of waking up in a new city with no plans. I can’t wait for that. However, I also share about a recent trip to Denver and how I felt a bit uncomfortable walking around there. Because of all the violence and instability in the USA, I don’t always feel safe here, and I sense this collective discomfort and tension. There’s a sense of relief when I think about traveling to Europe and going to cities where I feel safe and be open. I share some of my travel plans, and I also share about my decision to take a small break from the podcast while I’m traveling. Today’s episode is a little all over the place, but I hope you enjoy it. A few reflections: Denver is great city, and Colorado is a beautiful place to be from. I know so many people who have built beautiful and fulfilling lives here. It's not my intention to criticize but rather observe my own experience. I always want to be honest about my journey and what feels aligned and comfortable and what doesn't. Many cities in the USA don't feel safe to me as a solo female- especially with increasing gun violence. I mention the poverty in Denver- it's not that I want to shelter myself and not see poverty. (I spent many months teaching in the slums of Hyderabad, India.) I'm just particulary sentitive to the collective energy in these areas- it feel chaotic, unsafe, unstable, unhinged, and uneasy. I don't feel like I can relax; there is a need to stay vigilant and keep my guard up in places like this in order to keep myself and my energy safe. Ultimately, I don't want to live in a place where I can't feel safe, relaxed, and open. As an empath, I realize the collective and the state of those around me greatly affect me and my well-being. This (say, a walk around downtown Denver) probably affects me more than it does most people. But maybe you can relate to that as well. Anything you want to share? Questions or comments?
