The Nourished Sensitive

12/19/2025

🩶 This time of year can be…

Joyous, and tough.

Don’t forget to put yourself on the list.

Even just a moment helps.

Doesn’t have to be big, grand, and all planned out. Let it be spontaneous. Let it be soft. Let it be.

If you need space just for you rn.
If you need a proper little quiet time.
If you need to slow it all down.

If you need anything at all, really.

Take care of what you need first. Then, get back to whatever else you need to do. It can wait. Everything can wait just a moment.

And if belonging is what you need, we’d be glad to have you join us in circle Monday night for our biweekly Sensitive Sanctuary meetup.

We’ll be meditating together, like we did here and like we always do at the start of each circle.

Link to RSVP is in the bio (aka cosy holiday stocking).

Oh, and before you go?
Give yourself a hug.

xoxo,
Leah

Feeling disconnected from yourself lately?
Going through the motions, saying “I’m fine,” but something inside feels far away?

A new piece is up on The Nourished Sensitive Magazine exploring the quiet ways sensitive systems lose touch—and why it’s not a personal failure.

And if you want to practice coming back together, our Sensitive Sanctuary Circle this Monday is a soft place to land. We’ll explore seasonal grounding, nervous system settling, and heart-centered presence in real time—no fixing, no performing.

❄️Winter asks us to slow down, soften, and root inward.

Just published a new article in the TNS magazine on Substack all about tiny winter joys + cosy micro rituals that help sensitive systems feel grounded and held this season.

If your nervous system has been whispering for warmth, rhythm, or gentler beginnings… this one’s for you.

And if you want to practice these rituals together, our Sensitive Sanctuary Circle this Monday is the perfect place to land. We’ll explore seasonal grounding, nervous system settling, and heart-centered presence in real time.

• Learning to feel: the art of emotional processing

• Energetic boundaries and reclaiming your own field

• Grounding the sensitive nervous system

• Self-compassion as the anchor of all inner work

If you’re a sensitive or neurodivergent human who wants to tend to your inner world…but never quite finds the space for it, this one’s for you.

I just published a new post on the TNS Substack about the four self-healing skills every sensitive person needs but rarely gets taught.

• Emotional Processing — noticing & naming what you feel

• Energetic Boundaries — distinguishing your emotions from others

• Grounding — bringing your system back down to center

• Self-Compassionate Inquiry — meeting yourself with gentleness

Read the post on Substack to learn more about each of these practices and how they can help you thrive as a sensitive human.

And if you feel like you need space to practice these skills, starting in December, we’ll be coming together in our new biweekly circle 👇

You’re invited to join us for Self-Alchemy: A Co-Working Circle for Sensitive Self-Healers with the our facilitator .

This circle is a soft pocket of time to slow down, reconnect, and be held in gentle community. To catch up on all the things you’ve been meaning to make space for like grounding, mindfulness, and self care.

Hi, I’m Leah… and I’m a giver. 💛

Like, a deep giver.
The kind who sends people songs, memes, flowers, art — just because they crossed my mind.
The kind who feels joy in other people’s joy.
The kind whose heart lights up when someone else feels held, seen, or understood.

It’s who I am. I love with an open hand.

But lately? I’ve realized something I didn’t want to admit:

For most of my life, I’ve only been comfortable on one side of the exchange.

Giving. Pouring. Holding.

And somewhere along the way, I forgot that I deserve to be poured into too.

I forgot I deserve reciprocity.
I forgot I deserve care.
I forgot I deserve support without earning it.

So here’s the story I’m rewriting now:

I’m still a giver — that will never change.
But I’m finally learning to receive.
To open myself to love and support and friendship that fills my cup too.
To welcome the people who want to pour back into me with the same tenderness I offer them.

I’m ready to receive the lovers who love the lovers. 🌼

💬 What are you learning to receive in this season?
