Daphnie returns with a heartfelt update about her father’s recent passing and her decision to pause the podcast until the new year. She speaks about navigating grief as a highly sensitive person and honoring the nervous system’s need for rest and spaciousness. If you’re also carrying heaviness this season, this message offers comfort and support.

New episodes will be back in the new year. Wishing you peace and gentleness through the holiday season. 💚

I am taking a short break as I prioritize caring for my dad who just unexpectedly began hospice care this week. I look forward to sharing more episodes soon...

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by your emotions or the world around you—and wonder if something’s wrong with you? You might be a highly sensitive person (HSP), and you’re not alone.

In this foundational episode, Daphnie breaks down the core traits of high sensitivity using the “DOES” model by Dr. Elaine Aron and offers personal reflections, nervous system insights, and validation for sensitive souls.

Whether you’re new to the HSP journey or ready to deepen your self-understanding, this episode is a grounding place to begin. You’ll also receive a gentle reflection practice to help you better understand what nourishes—or depletes—you.
