In the past, I would have beaten myself up for falling behind my goals, but this time I chose to follow my body's energy, and decided to approach my work differently. A break was needed, and a break I took. As the saying goes, sometimes you really gotta take a few steps backwards in order to move forward!

“Be professional” is something I heard a lot in my career and is something I see many many Highly Sensitive People are striving for. I, myself did try very hard for years and years to “be professional” until I realized it was utterly counter-productive and in fact, a big hindrance in my development as a human being.

We hear a lot about alignment these days. But what does it mean exactly? How do you know when you are aligned with what’s meant for you? Is that the same as intuition? What about all these complicated feelings and emotions that “get in the way”?

When we feel uncomfortable emotions, sometimes it’s because we tuned out of our bodies and are doing things that are not right for us. Perhaps they’re good for society or other people, but since we’re all unique, is it really possible to lead a fulfilled life as one size fits all?

Transitions, transformations always involve taking a leap into the unknown at some point. And that usually feels pretty scary! In this episode, I share my process from shifting my initial fear to curiosity, and thus doing, I access more easily all sorts of creative solutions.

If you’re an empath and a highly sensitive person, being yourself could be very different from moment to moment. Like a chameleon you change depending on who is near you. You can easily take on the identity and emotions of the people around you. You may be seeking validation from others, yet you may struggle accepting love from others and feeling lovable.

There are days like that, sometimes even weeks, when nothing seems to be working. Obstacles after obstacles. I’ve been having such a week, especially today, the day I recorded this episode. In this episode, I take you along with me in that tricky energy and how I reframed the situation, and was able to shift my energy, and move from feeling powerless to feeling in my power.

Ah the in-between phase… like a thick, heavy cloudy sky, with no sunlight seemingly coming through… I used to see it as an ordeal, a purgatory: why wait? Why “waste time”? I wanna things to happen NOW! And yet such a necessary phase when going through change.
