Have you fallen out of touch with the Earth? Listen in on this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, as host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Corinna Wood, a visionary teacher of women's wisdom and a trailblazer in the holistic healing community, for a talk about sensitive, women-centered tools for inner growth and healing. “Grounding into our needs is such a rooted way of being, and I think it is really important, especially today, and especially with highly sensitive women.” — Corinna Wood We live inside. We work inside. We spend our time on computers, phones and other devices. All that may seem to be convenient and comfortable, but it can also serve to cut us off from the natural world—and an important source of women's wisdom. In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a mid-life women's coach, welcomes Corrina Wood, founder of Red Moon Herbs and the Southeast Wise Women Herbal Conference. They talk about her Wise Woman Needs Wheel, a tool that maps human needs to natural cycles, how it can help inner growth and healing, and why it may be a particularly useful framework for highly sensitive persons.

Building upon the foundation laid in episode 725, I revisit the first 13 characteristics of highly sensitive individuals, encouraging those who resonate with these traits to embrace their unique experiences. Recognizing the challenges that come with heightened sensitivity is crucial; it's not about something being "wrong" with you but rather about understanding and managing these traits. I explore the subtleties of high sensitivity, starting from the deeply rooted aversion to violence and cruelty, to the emotional exhaustion that can arise from absorbing others' feelings. Each identified trait, such as experiencing time pressure as overwhelming or being easily startled by sudden loud noises, serves to paint a fuller picture of what it means to navigate the world as a highly sensitive person. My goal is to empower listeners by reinforcing that they should not internalize negativity associated with these feelings; rather, recognizing them can lead to essential self-growth and awareness. #Anxiety #HighlySensitivePerson #HSP #EmotionalSensitivity #SensoryProcessingSensitivity #SelfCompassion #Mindfulness #Meditation #AnxietyPodcast #MentalWellness #InnerPeace #ElaineAaron #AnxietySupport #LivingWithAnxiety #HighlySensitive #EmpathLife #DeepFeelings #SensoryOverload #InnerWorldJourney #SensitiveAndStrong #UnderstandingHSP #HSPCommunity #EmotionalWellbeing #SelfCareForHSPs #MindfulLiving #PeaceWithin #OvercomingAnxiety #ResilienceBuilding #EmotionalValidation #AnxietyCoach #GinaRyan #TheAnxietyCoachesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

I discuss the unique traits of HSPs, who make up about 20% of the population and possess an ability to process stimulation deeply and feel emotions intensely. While being highly sensitive can provide exquisite advantages such as heightened empathy and an acute awareness of details that others might overlook, it also comes with challenges that can lead to feeling overwhelmed in everyday life. I explore the breadth of feelings and responses that accompany high sensitivity, emphasizing the dual nature of these traits. For instance, while heightened empathy can be considered a gift, it also means that HSPs might find themselves emotionally exhausted from absorbing the feelings of those around them. I share insights from notable experts on the topic, including Elaine Aron and Jen Graneman, to reinforce that sensitivity is not a weakness but a distinctive trait that warrants respect and understanding. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to reflect on how their sensitivities manifest and how they might identify as an HSP. #HighlySensitivePerson #HSP #Anxiety #EmotionalSensitivity #Overstimulation #Empathy #SelfCareForHSPs #ElaineAron #JenGraneman #InnerPeace #HighlySensitive #HSPCommunity #Empath #Introvert #Extrovert #EmotionalWellbeing #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfLove #Mindfulness #StressRelief #CopingStrategies #PersonalGrowthJourney #InnerStrength #Vulnerability #Authenticity #GentleParenting #SensitiveSoul #TheAnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #ListenNow Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Satiated Saturday! Intuition has been fascinating for me. I first started getting into the mind-body connection through practicing and learning about yoga and yoga philosophy. In yoga classes, I would often hear teachers talking about trusting your intuition. To be guided by your intuition. But, what I rarely heard was descriptions of how do you know something is intuition. Is what you're feeling intuition or fear? The more I learned about somatic work, the more I started to question the experience of intuition and where it comes from. When I finally discovered that intuitive processes are correlated with the activation of a part of the prefrontal cortex, called the orbitofrontal cortex, and that this part of your brain is diminished in activity after experience childhood trauma, I began to piece together that intuition is not something that everyone may easily be able to tap into based on their history. In this week's episode, I chat with Katie Beecher, Licensed Professional Counselor and Medical and Emotional Intuitive, about: The difference between intuition and fearPractices to strengthen your intuitionThe healing power of movement and artEmbracing your sensitivitiesImportant factors to include in your food recovery journeyYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/discover-your-inner-wisdomWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Katie: Website: https://katiebeecher.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiebeecher_medical_intuitive/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beechermedicalintuitiveSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

Do you want another baby, but not sure if you can cope with it all again? Perhaps you're highly sensitive, or neurodivergent, and it was all too much first time? In this episode of the Pause Purpose Play podcast, host Michaela Thomas is joined by Natalie Brunswick, a trauma and perinatal therapist, to discuss the complexities of deciding whether to have another baby after experiencing a difficult first journey - especially if being highly sensitive and neurodivergent. They delve into fears rooted in past trauma, the balancing act of desire to have another child, versus fears of not being able to cope, and the importance of self-compassion and robust support systems. The conversation emphasises the distinct needs of neurodivergent parents and the critical role of emotional healing and preparation in making informed parenting decisions. Resources and strategies are shared to help listeners navigate their own parenting journeys, no matter where they are in the decision-making process.

185 Every marriage needs a foundation of respect to thrive. Yet, in so many marriages, there's a lack of respect. Studies show that men, especially, feel its lack, which tends to take a big toll on the sense of love and connection in that relationship. Why is this so common? Well, for one, it does not always come naturally to be respectful. And, as women, we may sometimes shy away from giving our respect to our spouse because we have a misunderstanding of what it looks like when it comes to intimate relationships. Or we wait for them to be more loving first. So, in this episode, let's:Clear up the misconceptions about what respect looks likeClarify exactly what many women do that leads men to feeling disrespected (it can be less obvious than you may think)Discover why, if your partner is feeling disrespected, it is hurting your whole relationship and making it harder for you to feel loved, too Learn about why it matters so much to cultivate respect–especially if you are married to a man.And get 10 specific things to do and ways to communicate to build more mutual respect– and ultimately love– into your marriage.If you want to feel more loved, and even like a treasured queen, you want to start leading more respect into your relationship.

Highly sensitive women may feel childhood wounds deeply. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth Cush talks about how your parts help protect you and how you can heal. “We're learning to build a compassionate, kind loving relationship with ourself. Through that process, all parts of us learn to trust us.” — Biz Cush Not all childhood wounds are physical. If we didn't get our emotional needs met when we were young, we can carry those hurts with us well into adulthood. We can feel the impact of those childhood traumas on both our physical and mental health, in turn affecting how we show up in the world. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a life coach for highly sensitive women, talks about adverse childhood experiences like childhood emotional neglect, the mechanisms we develop to cope with them and how they show up in our “parts.” She'll also share how Internal Family Systems (IFS) work—getting to know our parts and approaching them with curiosity and compassion when they are triggered—can help us build a kind, caring relationship with ourselves that meets the needs of our bodies and our emotions, helps heal those old wounds, and empowers us to show up in the world from a more grounded place.

This episode is one of the -- if not THE-- #1 most essential episode of this podcast, if you want to have a loving, connected lasting marriage. SO important I'm updating and re-publishing it so you can listen again--or for the first time. Most of us limit ourselves (unconsciously, of course!) from feeling as much love as we could in our marriages. We therefore not only miss out on all the love available, but we also miss out on the benefits it brings to our marriages, and to our own selves–of which there are SO many, especially for you as a highly sensitive person. Now, you may want to feel more love, but you may also feel like it's not really up to you. That how much love you feel is contingent on how loving your spouse is. You may tend to only experience feeling love when it's easy to do so, and not so much when your husband does things that make it hard to love.Today, my friend, we begin to change all of this. Because love is always available to you, and you can even love what is hard to love (only if you want to, of course!). But it is a skill you may need to learn, so it can become habit–or simply natural to you.When you make a habit of loving without conditions, only good can come of it. Listen in to this episode to find out what I mean, how it can bring out the gift of your sensitivity, and how you can be empowered to have so much more love in your marriage and life–no matter what your husband is or isn't doing– by no longer withholding love unconsciously, and instead making unrestricted love a regular and deeply nurturing part of your life.SHOW NOTES:ACCESS THE COURSES MENTIONED: Stop Taking It So Personally Closer To Your Husband in 7 DaysENJOYING THE SHOW?Get the HSHM Podcast Map, so you can quickly identify the episodes most helpful for your unique relationship, by supporting the podcast (for as little as $3) HERE.

183 This episode is for everyone in an intimate relationship —especially if reactivity is ever an issue, or if you ever find yourself in sticky, difficult, or heated interactions with your spouse– or you just want to communicate and relate even better!You will learn one of the most essential skills you can develop to make your relationship strong and loving: The Pause. Being able to pause is immensely powerful when it comes to communication and navigating conflict is a graceful way– and even avoiding conflict and reactivity altogether. I would go so far as to say being able to Pause, in the way I describe in this episode, is a sacred skill. It gives you the ability to respond skillfully, instead of reacting in a way that makes things worse.But, as simple as the idea of pausing is, it is HARD to actually do. This episode will change that!So listen in to hear:What the pause actually is, Why it's so key to success in loveWhy it is so hard to do (without the key I will teach you)They 1 major key to being able to successfully do itAnd the practical and simple practice that will make you a pro at the Pause in a matter of weeksOnce you've tuned in and done as I suggest in this episode, you will be so much further ahead of most people in your ability to respond to your spouse, no matter the situation, in a way that invites peace, understanding, connection, and even collaboration, and you'll be well positioned to preserve and deepen the integrity and strength of your relationship for the long haul.SHOW NOTES:CHECK OUT THE COURSES MENTIONED: Stop Taking It So Personally Closer To Your Husband in 7 Days ENJOYING THE PODCAST?Don't miss an episode!

If your body is super reactive… even the tiniest change can set off awful symptoms – then you should consider the spectrum of mast cell activation diseases.What most people find enjoyable, like healthy foods, exercise, or even sunlight, can make some feel horrible. Often these symptoms are beyond just “histamine intolerance symptoms.”And while others around you might think you're just “being dramatic” or “making a mountain out of a molehill,” it's clear to you that your body is extremely more reactive than others.It can be hard to get a clear diagnosis and help if you are struggling with mast cell activation diseases – including those with hypermobility syndrome issues like Ehlers-Danlos.If your life feels like you're constantly navigating a minefield of unexpected symptoms to the smallest things, I'm joined by Michelle Shapiro, RD, to talk about what causes you to have a “highly sensitive body.”Michelle Shapiro, RD is an Integrative/Functional Registered Dietitian in NYC who has helped over 1000+ clients reverse their anxiety, heal long-standing gut and immune issues, and approach their weight in a loving way. Michelle has a virtual private practice of 5 nutritionists where she and her team work one-on-one towards these goals. She is the host of the Quiet the Diet Podcast, where she helps listeners bridge the gap between body positivity and functional nutrition.If you've been searching for answers about your own body's unpredictable reactions or want to better understand these complex conditions, let's dive in!In This Episode:What's a “highly sensitive body” problem (that you'll be stuck with forever)?The role of mast cells as “guards” of your immune systemHistamine intolerance symptoms (and why a histamine intolerance diet doesn't help long-term)Histamine intolerance versus Mast Cell Activation DiseasesThe surprising link between MCAS, POTS, and hypermobility syndromeWhy POTS isn't a heart problemThe long COVID–histamine intolerance connectionPractical tips for managing symptoms histamine intolerance symptomsQuotes“Highly sensitive bodies often react in ways we don't expect—things that are supposed to be good for you, like healthy foods or exercise, can make you feel worse.”“Histamine issues don't just cause rashes or itchy skin; they can trigger severe insomnia, anxiety, and even psychosis.”LinksFind Michelle online | InstagramMichelle's podcast, Quiet the DietMichelle's Highly Sensitive Body Hub WaitlistHealthy Skin Show ep. 319: Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: What is MCAS + Why It's So DevastatingHealthy Skin Show ep. 166: Mold + Histamine ConnectionReady to figure out your skin's root causes so you can finally fix your skin + break free from meds to manage your skin?My virtual clinic works with adults worldwide struggling with eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, urticaria, hives, dandruff, perioral dermatitis + more.Trusted by over 1000 clients, we get results WITHOUT restrictive elimination diets.Schedule an assessment call at https://skinrepaircall.com/
Are You Letting a Label Define You? Do you ever feel judged for your sensitivity? Have you been labeled as a hypochondriac simply because you're deeply aware of your body and emotions?

If you have a child who seems to fight sleep with every ounce of their being . . . you're not alone. While some kids easily drift off, others — especially those who are highly sensitive, alert, and intense — struggle with winding down, leaving parents exhausted and desperate for solutions. In this episode of Chick Chat, I sit down with sleep expert Macall Gordon to discuss why traditional sleep advice often fails these “livewire” children and what parents can do instead. With years of research in infant mental health and temperament-based sleep strategies, Macall shares science-backed insights to help parents navigate bedtime battles with compassion, patience, and a plan that actually works. Who is Macall Gordon? Macall Gordon has a masters degree in applied psychology from Antioch University in Seattle with a research-based specialization in infant mental health, sleep advice, and parenting culture. She also has a bachelor of science in human biology from Stanford University. Macall has conducted and presented her own research on temperament, sleep, and parenting advice at infant and child development conferences around the world and she is a certified Gentle Sleep Coach as well as a featured provider on the women's telehealth platform, Maven Clinic. She is also the author of the new book Why Won't You Sleep?!: A Game-Changing Approach for Exhausted Parents of Nonstop, Super Alert, Big Feeling Kids. Macall comes to this work because she had two sensitive, alert, intense children, and she didn't sleep for 18 years. What Did We Discuss? In this episode, I chat with Macall about sleep strategies for children with alert temperaments. We know that every child is different. However, when it comes to sleep, parents of highly sensitive kids aren't always prepared for what bedtime might bring. That's why we had to get the scoop from Macall. Here are several of the questions that we covered in our conversation: Please tell us about your journey with getting your children to sleep. What's a “livewire,” and how do these temperament traits impact sleep and parenting? How does current sleep training information and research fail to consider temperament? What are some necessary workarounds to consider in working on sleep with "livewires"? Tell us about your “big four strategies” for sleep success. How can parents create a step-by-step plan for their child using a time-tested, evidence-based approach that doesn't require leaving children alone to cry? We know that sleep training (or sleep teaching) can be exhausting for parents. Can you recommend any tips for tired parents going through the process? What are some of the perks of having a "livewire" child? Sleep challenges with highly sensitive and intense kids can be beyond frustrating, but understanding how temperament affects sleep is a game-changer. As Macall Gordon explained, these children aren't choosing to resist sleep. Rather, their perceptiveness, persistence, and big emotions make it harder for them to settle. With the right approach, parents can support their child's natural sleep needs without endless battles or forcing a method that doesn't work. We're so grateful that Macall could share her insights with us in this episode!

In today's episode, I speak to William Allen about Highly Sensitive Men and his new course, On Being a Highly Sensitive Man. William Allen is the author of Confessions of a Sensitive Man and On Being a Sensitive Man. He leads the course with insights drawn from his extensive work as an advocate for HSP men. He is a certified hypnotist and brain training coach, author and advocate for HSP Men. He believes that male sensitivity is not so rare, but it can be confounding for most males living in a culture of masculine insensitivity which teaches boys and men to disconnect from their feelings and emotions. As a highly sensitive individual himself, William combines personal experience, professional expertise, and engaging storytelling to create a transformative learning experience.

If recent headlines are giving you headaches, listen in on this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, as host Elizabeth Cush talks about finding balance in an uncertain world. “Bringing your body, your energetic body, into the work, is so important.” — Biz Cush How are you doing? With so much going on in the world right now, it's easy to feel for highly sensitive women to feel overwhelmed. In a political climate that feels so threatening to so many, it's easy for the highly sensitive—especially the helpers, the healers, the empaths—to focus on caring for others and to overlook our own needs. That oversight takes an enormous toll. But how do we care for ourselves, how do we nurture our energy, when we feel so much anxiety, stress and heaviness all around? In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a life coach for highly sensitive women, shares practical tips for finding balance and taking care of ourselves at times like these—and always.

As a highly sensitive person (HSP), have you ever wondered why anxiety feels so overwhelming—why stress lingers, your mind races, and traditional anxiety advice doesn't seem to work for you? It's not just in your head—it's in your nervous system. HSPs experience the world more deeply, making us more prone to overstimulation, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion. But healing anxiety isn't about “just thinking positive” or pushing through—it requires a nervous system-first approach tailored to sensitive people. In this episode, we dive into:✔️ Why HSPs are more prone to anxiety (and how your brain and body process stress differently).✔️ Why traditional anxiety treatments often fall short for highly sensitive people.✔️ The mind-body connection and why healing isn't just about mindset—it's about creating safety in your body.✔️ 5 essential tools that help HSPs regulate anxiety, reduce overstimulation, and find calm. If you've ever felt like traditional anxiety advice doesn't quite work for you, this episode will help you understand yourself better and take practical steps toward relief.

As a highly sensitive person, do you avoid conflict? Listen in on this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, as host Elizabeth Cush welcomes executive coach and consultant Michelle Gladieux for conversation about communication challenges, conflict management and emotional intelligence. “The more interested or passionate we are about a topic, sometimes the more dangerous our words and tone can become.” — Michelle Gladieux When a work situation doesn't sit right with you, do you speak up or hold your peace? What about when the boss wants to have a word with you? How do you handle disagreements with your partner or your friends? Do you avoid conflict? Or do you dive in head first and insist that you're right? Communication doesn't always come easily, especially if you're highly sensitive. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a mid-life women's coach, welcomes Michelle Gladieux, an executive coach, consultant and author of Communicate with Courage: Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges, for a discussion of communication skills for the highly sensitive. They talk about the roots of some common responses to conflict and why these approaches are usually self -defeating, and offer practical strategies and examples of how you can say what you need to say when you want to say it.

Today I wanted to share an update and what to expect from the podcast in 2025. This podcast has evolved over the years, and each chapter has reflected a new phase of growth. As we step into 2025, it felt like the perfect time for a fresh start for both Tonya and myself. You may have noticed the first big change: the name. HSP Wellness Warriors is now Highly Sensitive & Strong. Why? Because this new name reflects that I am taking over the podcast as Tonya steps away and it truly embodies my mission—to empower highly sensitive people to heal anxiety, embrace their unique strengths, and thrive in a world that often feels overwhelming. This podcast will continue to be a space where highly sensitive people can find practical tools, deep insights, and relatable support. Whether you're navigating your own anxiety, struggling with overwhelm, or learning to embrace your sensitivities as strengths, you'll find something here for you. Here's what's in store: Bite-sized lessons to help you manage stress and anxiety. Guided practices like meditations, breathwork, and grounding exercises. Interviews with inspiring experts in the HSP and wellness communities. I'm thrilled to share that I'll be launching a brand-new membership program in 2025 designed specifically for highly sensitive people to take what we learn here in the podcast and go much deeper. You'll also be hearing more about my new Anxiety Course - a self-paced program is filled with practical tools and healing practices to help you reclaim your peace of mind and create a sense of safety in your body. It's inspired by the work that I've done over the past five years with my Freedom from Anxiety small-group coaching program, and I can't wait to share it with you.

Have you wondered if being a highly sensitive person might increase your risk of high-risk HPV and abnormal pap smears? I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, a naturopathic doctor and women's health expert. I help women who test positive for high-risk HPV virus, including women who have abnormal cells on the cervix or in the vagina, to eliminate high-risk HPV so they don't have to continue getting ongoing procedures and potentially develop cancer. Most women find out they're testing positive for high-risk HPV after having a gynecology exam and pap smear. More practitioners are now testing for high-risk HPV at the time of a pap smear. Some women go into shock when they discover they're testing positive, wondering how this happened. Others might have been testing positive for more than five years and feel frustrated that they can't get it to go away. As a women's health expert specializing in high-risk HPV, I've helped thousands of women worldwide over the last 25 years. I've seen the patterns, read the research, and identified a protocol to help women, and that's why I'm so passionate about sharing this information with you.

178 If you're unhappy enough in your marriage to be questioning if you should stay or go, you probably feel uncertain, confused, afraid. You're too scared and unsure if it's the right thing to do to actually leave, but you also know you don't want to go on living like this with your spouse. What if your spouse CAN improve? What if you CAN connect in the deeper ways you want? What if you CAN'T? What if he can't? It can be paralyzing. And spirit killing!It's time for some clarity about what's best for you moving forward!In this episode, I will help you get that. Although there isn't a black and white answer I can hand you today, I do have some clear advice to share. And even an outline for an illuminating and super clarifying conversation that you can have with your spouse to help you know whether it is time, or not, to leave—or whether this relationship actually has room to improve into a fulfilling one you really WANT to stay in.I will also share more in depth the 5 ingredients you need to put into this clarifying conversation, and what needs to happen first, during and after. I could have easily called this episode “How To Motivate Your Spouse Stretch And Grow Into The Partner You Really Want”, instead. Because what I share in this episode, if you implement it, is the most powerful way I have ever seen to invite and motivate your spouse to do a whole lot more to make your marriage one you both feel great in… And if he is unable even then to be the loving supportive partner you want in life, you will know for sure that staying is not what's best for you, and be free to move on with integrity, confidence, and peace.
