In part one of this two-part conversation in our Being Open podcast series, Tami Simon speaks with Guy Shahar, the author of Transforming Autism, for his unique perspective on how we can best connect with and support our family and community members in the neurodivergent population. Most of us have a general sense of how difficult it can be to raise an autistic child. In Guy Shahar's case, this already challenging path took a new turn when he discovered, at age 46, that he is also on the spectrum.  Give a listen as Tami and Guy discuss: educating the parents and caregivers of autistic children, three keys to connecting with autistic children, flexibility and play, the intuitive capacity of autistic children to tune in to our energy and intentions, altruistic and idealistic values, the shift from anxiety to faith, how people on the spectrum can serve as spiritual and evolutionary guides for humanity, self-worth and self-acceptance, depathologizing neurodiversity, how autistic and non-autistic people can learn from each other, helping someone recover from overwhelm, the spiritual gifts of individuals on the spectrum, and more.   In the second part of this special episode on Being Open, Tami Simon speaks with Dr. Edwards about the overlooked gifts of autism and the unique capacity for people on the spectrum to experience—and point neurotypical people toward—the interconnection at the core of our lives. Autism is often described as a lack of connection. As a psychiatrist and the mother of an autistic daughter, Dr. Melinda Edwards holds a contrary position. "My daughter wasn't disconnected," reflects Dr. Edwards. "Her symptoms were often a reflection of a deep connection..  Discover: the limitations of the term "neurodiversity"; the "exquisitely sensitive, exquisitely porous" nature of autistic people; bringing your sensitivity into the world; vulnerability, openness, and the trajectory of human evolution; the paradox of boundaries for people on the spectrum; compassionate support; three ways of experiencing the world: physically, psychologically, and from a place of interconnection; pronoun problems; getting past the stereotypes we have about autistic people; the connection between trauma and truth-seeking; the spiritual path of parenting an autistic child; and more.   Note: These interviews originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests.

Some Challenges in Neurodivergent Communication Summary In this episode, Patricia discusses the challenges faced by AuDHDers and other neurodivergent individuals in communication, particularly regarding lack of responding to messages. She explores the concept of internalized ableism and how it affects self-perception and interactions. Patricia shares personal experiences and insights on the importance of flexibility in relationships and the need for authenticity in communication. The conversation emphasizes the struggles of neurodivergent individuals, including executive functioning challenges, and the significance of self-acceptance and understanding in navigating social situations.   HIGHLIGHTS It's not uncommon for neurodivergent individuals to struggle with responding to messages. ·       Internalized ableism can affect how we perceive our struggles. ·       Flexibility in relationships is helpful for understanding each other's challenges. ·       People often have their own timeframes for communication. ·       It's important to give ourselves permission to not always follow plans. ·       Authenticity in communication can foster better relationships. ·       Neurodivergent individuals often attract other neurodivergent friends and partners with similar experiences. ·       Comparison can lead to feelings of inadequacy among neurodivergent individuals. ·       Being open about our struggles can help others feel validated. ·       Sensitivity is a natural part of being neurodivergent and should be embraced.  SOUND BITES "I have so much room for that." "We have a hard time taking breaks." "It's hard for me to not compare." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED ·      You have a right to be joyful, forgetful, ableist, non-ableist, stimmy, non-stimmy.  ·      You're not for everyone. Everyone's not for you.   ·      It's okay to push through.  ·      It's okay to rest.      It's okay to compare.  ·      It's okay to trust that how you show up in the world is fine and all you have to do is be you and who is meant to be in your life will be there and the people that aren't, will drop away.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Navigating Communication Challenges 06:35 Understanding Internalized Ableism 11:39 The Struggles of Neurodivergence 17:24 The Importance of Authenticity in Relationships PODCAST HOST Patricia Young, she/her was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching.

Do you feel like your body is always on high alert? Does emotional stress lead to a racing heart, skin breakouts, or stomach problems? If you're an empath or highly sensitive person (HSP), you might be experiencing mast cell activation, and it's more common than you think. In this episode, Dr. Aimie explores the hidden biology behind why sensitive people get sick from stress. Here's what's happening: Your body has special immune cells called mast cells. They act like security guards. But after trauma or chronic stress, these cells can become overreactive. They can treat everyday experiences like threats, even normal conversations or emotional triggers. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your body treats emotional stress like a physical emergency How your immune system gets stuck in “danger mode” (and why it's not your fault) How to naturally calm an overactive nervous system Supplements for mast cell activation Dr. Aimie's favorite technique that resets your nervous system How blood sugar levels affect emotional reactivity Simple daily habits to support nervous system healing Whether you're someone who feels emotionally or physically drained after social interactions, a practitioner absorbing clients' trauma, or someone who seems to absorb energy from others, this episode will give you practical tools to feel safer in your body and break the cycle of overwhelm.

Hands up if you've ever apologised for your tone in a three-line email. Or assumed a stranger's silence meant they hate you. Or spiralled for hours over a “no.” Yep, us too. In this episode of Neurotypicals Don't Juggle Chainsaws, Kate and Nic dig into rejection sensitivity: the life experiences that wire us for it, why it shows up so strongly in neurodivergent folks and what helps. If you've ever thought “it's not about you”… but still felt like it was: this one's for you. 

In this eye-opening episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with trauma therapist Paula Rastrick to unpack the complexities of hormonal health for women. They explore why hormone therapy isn't always the silver bullet it's marketed to be — and how trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and the HPA axis all play a major role in hormonal imbalance. Paula shares her deeply personal journey through hormonal struggles and burnout, and how she came to understand the nervous system as the foundation of hormone healing. Together, they challenge common myths and shed light on why so many women feel gaslighted by traditional medical approaches. If you've ever felt dismissed, confused, or overwhelmed when it comes to your hormones — this conversation is your permission slip to dig deeper and advocate for a more holistic approach to healing.   What You'll Learn In This Episode: Hormone therapy is often oversimplified and overprescribed. Medical gaslighting is common when hormonal protocols don't work. The nervous system is a key (and often missing) piece in hormone treatment. Trauma can rewire the HPA axis, disrupting hormonal balance. ADHD and hormone sensitivity are deeply connected. Every woman's hormonal story is unique — individualized care is essential. Heart rate variability (HRV) training can support nervous system resilience. Empowerment through education helps women take control of their health. We need a more integrated, trauma-aware approach to women's healthcare.

Highly sensitive people and empaths often feel like they're drowning in grief while others seem to handle loss with ease. They absorb emotions from everyone around them, feel overwhelmed by everyday environments, and find themselves reaching for things they know aren't good for them just to numb the pain. But what if that sensitivity is actually a person's greatest strength? In this episode, Dr. Aimie reveals why highly sensitive people experience grief so differently and how understanding your nervous system's unique needs can transform your relationship with both sensitivity and loss. She shares her own vulnerable story of self-sabotage after her best day ever, showing how even those who understand trauma can still get hijacked by grief. You'll find out about why being an empath isn't about becoming less sensitive, but learning to support your sensitive system so you can hold pain without being overwhelmed by it. Dr. Aimie explains how your sensitivities can either drain your energy or become your superpowers, and why energy management is actually the key to living your life's purpose. You'll hear more on:  How to tell if you're a highly sensitive person Why empaths feel grief more deeply and get overwhelmed faster than others Simple ways to support your nervous system How to tell which sensitivities drain your energy and which ones are your strengths Why highly sensitive people numb emotional pain in self-sabotaging ways What to do when grief takes over and you feel out of control emotionally The biggest challenge for highly sensitive people and how to handle it Easy ways to support your nervous system before you get overwhelmed Whether you're someone navigating grief yourself or a practitioner supporting sensitive clients, this episode offers practical insights to help you understand and support sensitive systems through the grieving process, transforming sensitivity into a strength.   Resources/Guides: Biology of Trauma book - how the body experiences and holds fear, pain and overwhelm, and how to heal.

You shape your emotional experiences SO deeply. Even if you can't see it now, even if it feels like your partner is the main shaper of how you feel in your relationship, even if it seems like you are often emotionally at the effect of the world.  YOU, in fact, are the #1 source of your own emotions.This is the best news EVER. Because it means you have so much more power over how you feel in your relationship--and how the relationship goes-- than you've ever known. It's time to learn to access this power--what I call Emotional Agency. (Think of this as a follow-up episode to the last episode, Emotional Delegation 101.

What if one spray could upgrade your brain, protect your mitochondria, and outperform IV therapy and liposomal supplements? In this episode, you'll discover the breakthrough science behind topical glutathione delivery that uses your skin's water channels to raise intracellular glutathione levels in just 60 seconds. Learn how this powerful antioxidant works at the cellular level to reduce oxidative stress, support mitochondrial function, and drive real improvements in brain health, emotional resilience, and human performance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Nayan Patel, a world-leading pharmacist and formulator who pioneered this next-gen delivery method. With over two decades of clinical work in functional medicine, Nayan has helped reshape how we think about glutathione benefits, systemic detox, and performance optimization. His research shows that topical delivery bypasses traditional fat-based absorption, achieving higher brain uptake and faster results than IVs or capsules.

Todd shares how learning to trust his intuition helped him break free from emotional clutter and chronic stress, and how HSPs (and sensitive moms especially) can do the same.

Whether you're deeply sensitive or simply stuck in a cycle of overthinking and overwhelm, this conversation will help you clear space for confident, clutter-free decision-making.

You've rebuilt. Or maybe you've started again. On the surface, things seem okay, your partner's doing the work, or your new relationship looks healthy. And yet… something still feels off. Not wrong exactly, just off. In this episode, we explore that subtle unease that often lingers after betrayal, the one that can leave you second-guessing your instincts, your partner, and even yourself. You'll learn why your body might be picking up on cues your brain hasn't named yet, and how to tell the difference between fear-based reactions and genuine gut wisdom.

On the Secret Witch Show today, our guest is Yolanda Williams. Yolanda is a Reiki Master Teacher, energetic alchemist, and host of the Reiki Radio podcast. Certified in Wellness Counseling through Cornell University, her work helps women come into sacred relationship with themselves - revealing the interconnected nature of mind, body, spirit, and energy. In this beautifully intimate and thought-provoking conversation, we explore what it truly means to live as both magician and human - to become a conscious creatrix of our life while honouring our very real, often messy, humanness. Yolanda shares openly about her own journey through energy work, healing, emotional repression, and the descent into her body - illuminating how sensitivity and self-awareness can become the very tools of our transformation. Together, we speak to the truth that we are always working with energy - whether consciously or unconsciously - and how our thoughts, feelings, and words are spells shaping our lives. This is an essential conversation for the Secret Witch who is navigating the tension between her spiritual gifts and her everyday human experience - and longs to trust that she already is the magic she's seeking. What You'll Learn from this Episode: We are always creating - either unconsciously from wounding or consciously through energetic integrity; our thoughts, feelings, and words are spells that shape our lives True magic is not about escaping humanity, but integrating it; healing begins by descending into the body and softening into our emotional truth Sensitivity is not a flaw - it's a sacred gift, and learning to honour it can guide us back to our wholeness and power Energy work unifies mind, body, and spirit - revealing the deeper self and activating our innate healing intelligence The archetype of the magician teaches us to master our inner elements - mind (air), emotion (water), will (fire), and body (earth) - in service to spirit (ether) You are the remedy - your lived experience holds the exact magic you're here to embody and offer.

Performative Expectations vs. Honoring Your Neurodivergent (AuDHD) Needs     In this conversation, Patricia discusses the challenges of navigating personal truths, autonomy, and performative expectations, particularly as an AuDHDer. Patricia reflects on her struggles with body image, the importance of self-trust, the need for autonomy (PDA), honoring her needs as a neurodivergent human, and prioritizing her comfort. She also addresses social anxiety, the joy of spontaneity, and the balance between assertiveness and sensitivity in relationships. Ultimately, Patricia emphasizes personal growth and the acceptance of one's unique identity through the planning and execution of her son's wedding.   HIGHLIGHTS   ·       Navigating personal truths is essential for autonomy, and working with PDA (pervasive or persistent drive for autonomy) ·       Performative expectations can override the needs of the human. ·       Body image issues are apt to come up when asked to wear clothes one doesn't normally wear. ·       Self-trust is crucial in making personal choices. ·       Finding comfort in clothing is important for self-regulation, and feeling authentic. ·       Fear of overwhelm and dysregulation can be mitigated with preparation. ·       Embracing spontaneity can enhance connections with others. ·       Assertiveness is necessary in family dynamics. ·       Personal growth often comes from challenging experiences. ·       Sensitivity is a strength, not a weakness.   SOUND BITES "This is not about getting married." "I felt so present." "I really wanted to honor the bride." "I was very disheartened." "I fell in love with it."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You have a right to trust that you are exactly where you need to be. There's not anything you need to do. Your value and worth does not come from being productive. You can be stimmy. You can be joyful. You can be quiet.   You can be assertive. You can be moving your body. You can be still. You can want to touch all of the dogs in the world, and all of the horses. You can want to be left alone. You can enjoy being with people not being with people. Every single part of you is okay exactly the way you are.   CHAPTERS   00:00 Navigating Personal Truths and Autonomy 03:01 The Impact of Performative Expectations 05:55 Body Image and Self-Trust 09:11 Finding Comfort in Personal Choices 12:11 Overcoming Social Anxiety and Overstimulation 14:52 Embracing Spontaneity and Connection 18:08 Balancing Assertiveness and Sensitivity 20:46 Reflections on Personal Growth and Relationships   PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent. Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you LINKS   Neurodivergent Online Course-- https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/neurodivergent-online-courses/   Receive the top 10 most downloaded episodes of the podcast-- https://www.subscribepage.com/e6z6e6 Sign up for the Newsletter-- https://www.subscribepage.com/y0l7d4   To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select “listen on Apple Podcasts” chose “open in itunes” choose “ratings and reviews” click to rate the number of starts click “write a review”   Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok--https://www.tiktok.com/@unapologeticallysensitiv e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com  

Is sound sensitivity slowing down your concussion recovery—more than you even realize? For many people on a healing journey (and the clinicians who support them), sound sensitivity becomes an exhausting, confusing hurdle. Whether it's struggling to be in noisy environments, feeling constantly overstimulated, or relying on earplugs 24/7, this issue doesn't just make life harder—it often gets overlooked or misunderstood altogether. But what if sound sensitivity is more than just an annoying symptom… and instead, a clue pointing to deeper dysregulation in the nervous system? In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on what's really going on—and how to start shifting it. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why sound sensitivity is not just about your ears—and how the brain and nervous system play a huge role The connection between auditory processing and cognitive function after a concussion Why noise-canceling headphones are management, not treatment (and what to do instead) A step-by-step framework for gently retraining your tolerance to sound using the “Sound Sensitivity Pyramid” This episode blends practical tools with empowering education—for clinicians and healing humans alike. Whether you're new to concussion recovery or feeling stuck in the middle of it, this conversation will help you better understand your body, your brain, and your next steps forward.

If you've ever used food to numb emotions, soothe overstimulation, or escape anxiety—you are not alone. In this powerful interview, I sit down with binge eating recovery coach Lucy Newport to explore the unique challenges highly sensitive people face around food, self-worth, and emotional overwhelm.Lucy shares her personal 14-year struggle with binge eating and anxiety, and how healing her nervous system and embracing her sensitivity helped her find lasting freedom. We discuss:Why highly sensitive people are more prone to binge or emotional eatingThe nervous system's role in food behaviorsWhy traditional recovery models often miss the mark for HSPsPractical, compassionate steps to break free from shame and self-judgmentThis conversation is full of wisdom, hope, and gentle encouragement for anyone feeling stuck, ashamed, or exhausted in their relationship with food.

Let's start with the basics. Now we've talked about thymosin alpha 1 before in the context of immune health, but as a quick refresher, Thymosin alpha 1, or Tα1, is a peptide — a small chain of amino acids — that occurs naturally in the body.  It was first isolated from the thymus gland, which is an important immune organ responsible for developing and regulating T cells, especially during childhood. T cells are a type of white blood cell that play a central role in the immune system by identifying and destroying infected or abnormal cells and coordinating immune responses. Over time, our thymus shrinks and our immune response tends to slow down — which may partly explain why chronic infections or immune dysregulation become more common with age. Thymosin alpha 1 acts like an immune system coach — it doesn't directly kill pathogens, but it enhances the immune system's ability to detect and fight infections. In fact, it's made a big impact around the world.   Since its discovery in the 1970s, it's been used in over 35 countries to help treat conditions like hepatitis B and C, certain cancers, and even sepsis. During the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers explored its potential to calm immune overreactions and improve patient outcomes. It's also popular in veterinary medicine for helping dogs with chronic infections. Plus, some doctors are now investigating its role in boosting vaccine effectiveness and supporting people with autoimmune diseases or age-related immune decline — making thymosin alpha 1 a real immune multitasker. Thymosin Alpha 1 and Lyme Disease So why are doctors using thymosin alpha 1 in Lyme disease? Well, for many people, Lyme can become a long, drawn-out illness. And while antibiotics are usually the first-line treatment, some patients don't recover fully — instead, they develop lingering symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, or neurological issues. This condition is known as Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome, or PTLDS — and we'll dive deeper into that in just a minute. In Lyme patients, Thymosin alpha 1 is being used off-label to: Rebalance the immune system Enhance the activity of T cells and natural killer cells Calm overactive inflammation Reduce the intensity and frequency of flare-ups or immune crashes Doctors report that patients using thymosin alpha 1 often feel more resilient — with improved energy, mental clarity, and fewer immune complications — especially in cases involving co-infections like Babesia, Bartonella, or Epstein-Barr virus. What Is PTLDS? Now let's dig into what happens after Lyme disease treatment for some patients. Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome, or PTLDS, affects roughly 5 to 20 percent of people who have been treated for Lyme disease. Even after completing a full course of antibiotics, they continue to experience significant symptoms that can last for months — or even years. Some of the most common symptoms of PTLDS include: Chronic fatigue that doesn't improve with rest Brain fog, poor memory, or difficulty concentrating (sometimes called 'Lyme brain') Joint and muscle pain Sleep disturbances Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations (peripheral neuropathy) Depression, anxiety, or mood swings Sensitivity to light, sound, or smells Dizziness or balance issues And often, fluctuating or cyclical symptoms — where you feel better for a while, then suddenly crash These symptoms can be disabling, and they're often not reflected in standard lab tests, which can make patients feel dismissed or misdiagnosed. Why Does PTLDS Happen? Researchers are still working to understand why PTLDS happens, but here are some of the leading theories: Immune system dysregulation – The infection may trigger a chronic inflammatory state that lingers long after the bacteria are gone. Persistent infection – Some believe the bacteria can go into a low-metabolic or dormant state, evading antibiotics and reactivating later. Tissue damage – Nerve and joint tissues may have been injured and take a long time to heal. Autoimmune activation – The body may start attacking its own tissues after the infection — similar to what happens in rheumatic fever. Undiagnosed co-infections – Other pathogens like Bartonella or Babesia may still be active and complicate recovery. This is where thymosin alpha 1 may offer a new path — not as a cure, but as a modulator that can help restore immune balance and reduce inflammatory damage. Thymosin Alpha 1 Risk Factors and Who Should Avoid It Thymosin alpha 1 is generally considered safe and well tolerated, especially because it mimics a peptide your body already makes. But like all therapies, it's not for everyone. Possible side effects include: Mild injection site reactions Fatigue, nausea, or headache (usually early in treatment) Not everyone is a good candidate for thymosin alpha 1, so it's important to know who should be cautious. For starters, if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it's best to avoid it—there just isn't enough safety data available yet. People taking immunosuppressant medications, like those who've had organ transplants, should also steer clear because thymosin alpha 1 stimulates the immune system and could interfere with those drugs. And if you have an autoimmune condition, it's a bit of a gray area. While some people tolerate it well with low, carefully monitored doses, others might experience a flare, so it's definitely something to discuss with a knowledgeable healthcare provider. It's best to always consult with a healthcare provider experienced in peptide therapies and Lyme disease before starting treatment. The Bottom Line So to sum it all up, thymosin alpha 1 is a promising immune-supporting peptide that's gaining attention in the world of chronic illness—especially for conditions like Lyme disease and PTLDS. It's not a replacement for antibiotics and it doesn't directly kill infections, but it may help bring balance to an immune system that's either overreacting or underperforming. It's also being used to calm inflammation, support healing, and help people feel more resilient as they work through long-term symptoms. If you or a loved one are struggling with lingering symptoms from Lyme disease, chronic fatigue, or an immune system that just won't seem to bounce back, you're not alone. Talk to your family physician and ask if they can steer you toward a specialist familiar with peptide therapy and Lyme disease. Thank you for listening to The Peptide Podcast.

Every other week I'm republishing one of my most popular or impactful episodes and adding an update, new insight, or context that will help you benefit from it even more. This week I'm highlighting Episode 236, which highlights some key medical terms that you might not yet know. And, if you're like me, your confidence goes way up when you actually understand what people are talking about. Imagine that! When I was a student (and new nurse) I remember hearing medical terms all the time that would make me think, “I should probably know what that means, but I'm too embarrassed to ask.” And I hated how that made me feel… lost, incompetent, out of the loop, and unsure of myself. You can imagine what feeling this way did to my confidence level. Yep…pretty low sometimes. In this episode I'm diving into some common medical terms that students (and even experienced nurses) often feel a little unsure about…terms like: Sensitivity vs specificity Hypoxia vs hypoxemia Crystalloid vs colloid And let's not forget medical slang like “the gap,” “rainbows,” and “Christmas trees” After listening to this episode, you'll be absolutely fascinating at your next cocktail party and probably feel a lot more confident at the bedside, too!

Today's episode is a little different. To celebrate our 50th episode (wow!), I'm getting very personal. I'm sharing some deeply vulnerable stories about the quirky, subtle, and sometimes cringey ways that rejection sensitivity shows up in my life — in my business, in my friendships, and even in my relationships with beloved clients. I'll be honest: I'm a little nervous to share all this! But I'm doing it because this conversation is important. So many of us - and our clients - hold ourselves back from creating what we want or showing up fully because of our fear of rejection. I want to normalize this experience, bring it out of the shadows, and remind you that you're not alone and you're not broken if this shows up for you, too. In this episode, I talk about: The surprising places rejection sensitivity shows up for me — even after decades of inner work What Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria is, and how learning about it has helped so many of my clients (especially those with ADHD) How fear of rejection shaped my business in the early years: undercharging, avoiding outreach, not following up The sneaky ways rejection stories still show up in close friendships — and how I've learned to name them and work with them The awkward truth about sometimes feeling rejected by my own clients Why normalizing rejection sensitivity is so powerful for our own healing and for client work Practices that help: awareness, nervous system regulation, and strategic action-taking even in discomfort How to gently help your clients identify and work through rejection sensitivity and self-sabotage Whether you've experienced this yourself or witnessed it in those you work with, I hope this episode helps you feel more resourced, more seen, and a little less alone. And if this conversation speaks to your heart, I'd love to invite you to my upcoming workshop: Unshaken: How to Face Rejection and Keep Going. And hey — if any of the stories I shared today hit close to home, please reach out and tell me. I would genuinely love to hear from you and hold space for your own beautiful, weird, human experiences around rejection.

In this heartfelt episode, we open up about the challenges many parents face when raising a highly sensitive child. We've all been there: the meltdowns over itchy tags, the wrong spoon, or overwhelming smells. At first glance, these reactions seem like "over-sensitivity" or behavioral issues—but as we dig deeper, we uncover a different story. We explore how much of this sensitivity actually stems from nervous system dysregulation, often linked to breathing patterns, poor sleep, and even oral tension. Mouth breathing, for example, not only dries tissues but disrupts oxygen intake, sleep rhythms, and the body's ability to regulate emotions and sensory input. We share personal stories, like Ellie's, where simple interventions—breathing retraining, myofunctional therapy, and sleep support—led to profound shifts in behavior and well-being. One key takeaway? Sensitivity isn't a flaw. It's the body's way of signaling overwhelm. Instead of asking, "How do I fix my child's behavior?" we shift to asking, "Why does their world feel so overwhelming?" This change in perspective opens doors to real, supportive interventions rather than judgment or blame. We also discuss how common misdiagnoses like ADHD, sensory processing disorder, or anxiety might actually be the symptoms of deeper physiological imbalances. And yes—sometimes what looks like defiance is really just depletion. At the end of the day, we remind ourselves (and you) that we're not failing. We're learning. We're discovering tools, therapies, and insights that help our children not only survive but thrive. Join us as we continue to explore these critical conversations. And remember—you are your child's best advocate. You're doing better than you think. Book a consultation today:I am always here to help answer any question and schedule a 15 minute call with me. If I can not help, I can get you to a provider that can.https://shereewertz.com/15-min
