The Nourished Sensitive

The Nourished Sensitive The Nourished Sensitive™ empowers sensitive, neurodivergent folks to find themselves and thrive, for a life that truly suits them.

Offering community, coaching, and clarity for seekers of holistic personal growth and health. 🌱🌸🦋 The Nourished Sensitive™ is a sanctuary where highly sensitive people can find holistic wellness guidance and support tailored to their unique needs. Through a variety of modalities including personal coaching, a community collective, and a variety of digital resources and tools, Nourished Sensitives learn to foster an empowered way of living where sensitivity is seen not as a burden, but as a profound gift to be nurtured and appreciated. This redefinition is not just about feeling better but about empowering a community of sensitive individuals to use their innate abilities to enrich their lives and contribute to the world around them in meaningful ways. We guide HSPs to understand their sensitivity better and lead them through processes of deep introspection, self-care, and self-acceptance that takes them from feeling like they are barely “surviving” to holistically “thriving”.

Hi, I’m Leah… and I’m “too much.” 🙃

My autism makes me direct, honest, and bold. My ADHD adds randomness and sparkle. Together? It’s a rainbow inside a tornado. 🌪️ 🌈

intense, beautiful, colorful, sparkly, alive.

And yeah, not everyone gets it.
People misunderstand me all the time.
Some people throw secret stones at me.

And I feel it, my God do I feel it
the misunderstanding, the shame, the sadness.

conviction for arrogance.
radiance for showing off.
excitement for self centeredness.

Sometimes, it keeps me up at night. But last night, I decided I’m done with apologizing for being too bright in a world that insists I stay dim.

I’m not here to shrink so others feel comfortable. I’m here to shine and know deeply that God sees my heart, even when others don’t.

💬 What part of you are you learning to stop apologizing for?

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of standing up for myself. And honestly? It’s kinda scary…

As a highly sensitive, neurodivergent person, I know what it feels like to be misunderstood, dismissed, or even targeted and punished for feeling deeply and seeing things differently.

But even with all that, I’ve always had this fire in me, this deep conviction for truth. I just know what’s right in my heart. And even when I’m the only one speaking up, I can’t help but say what I believe out loud

(blame the tism lol).

Still, self-advocacy takes so–much–courage.

Now that I’m traveling full-time, living minimally, growing my business, working part time for a paycheck, and navigating the world as a single autistic woman with ADHD I feel this more than ever.

There are moments I get scared. Really scared.Scared of what might happen if I speak up, scared of the consequences of standing my ground. Just scared.

But the answer to that fear, I’m realizing?

Faith.

Sometimes success isn’t about going bigger or faster — it’s about growing at the pace your nervous system can hold. 🌿

For sensitive and neurodivergent souls, alignment is success. When we let our sensitivity lead, growth becomes gentler, safer, and more sustainable.

What if nourishment isn’t just what you put on your plate, but what you offer your soul?

As a holistic dietitian working with sensitives and neurodivergent hearts, I’ve learned that true nourishment begins where striving ends.

It’s found in beauty, stillness, laughter, prayer — in every small act that reminds you you’re already whole, already worthy, already loved.

“Sometimes, we’re hungry for food and sometimes, we’re hungry for peace.”

Thank you for pausing here with me.

Day 05 Reflections:

Where in your life are you still trying to earn rest or nourishment?

What’s one small, simple act that makes you feel cared for today?

How might you feed your soul the same way you tend your body — consistently, lovingly, without rush?

What if home isn’t something you dwell within, but something that dwells within you?

Who would you become if you saw yourself as a work of art, instead of a project to perfect?

Lately I’ve been wondering — what would change if we saw ourselves as works of art, not works in progress?

When you think about God, what comes into your mind—and how does it feel in your body? What image, presence, or feeling arises when you imagine being seen and loved by something greater than yourself?

Sensitivity is my theology.

My ‘word about God’.

When I think about God, I feel a softening in the center of my chest. He feels like the warmth and love of the sun glowing on my face through the leaves at golden hour wrapping my soul in a hug. Safe, protected, seen, and loved.

The way a daughter feels.

He is fatherly: attentive, compassionate, safe, and steady. He holds. He provides. He notices when I’ve fallen out of alignment and forgotten who I am. Gently calling me back home when the street lamps come on.

God is the keeper of my inner garden.

He roots me, nourishes me, waters me, prunes me, plants me, and harvests me when I’m good and ripe. Placing me on the windowsill, to admire His own creation when it blooms.

I can’t separate my way of seeing and feeling God from my way of seeing and feeling the world. My faith is embodied. It appears to me in the smell like roses, the sound of birdsong, light filtering through windy leaves.

So, who is God to me really?

He is the love of my life.

The One who created me to feel deeply, and the One who chooses me over again when for one reason or another…

I cannot choose myself.

—

My theology mirrors my sensitivity—it’s how I experience God through beauty, love, and presence.

Thank you for pausing here with me.

Day 02 Reflections:

Who is God to you?

How does your image or felt sense of God reflect the state of your own heart?

What would it mean to let your relationship with the Divine be as tender and human as you are?

—

If today’s reflection resonated, restack or share it with someone who might need a reminder of divine love.

I’m starting something new this week…

30 Days of Nourishment — a daily journaling series for sensitive, deep-feeling souls who want to feel more grounded, creative, and nourished from the inside out.

Every day, I’ll share a reflection or prompt you can use to reconnect with yourself and remember that nourishment is about so much more than food — it’s how you tend to your mind, body, and spirit.

You can follow along on Substack Notes () or write alongside me.

So many of us spend years editing parts of ourselves just to feel like we belong.

But what if the parts that hide aren’t broken or wrong — they’re simply longing to be met with love?

These questions are an invitation to gently notice the parts of you that still crave inclusion, understanding, witnessing, belonging, and safety.

Which one speaks to you most today? 💛

Our next Sensitive Sanctuary gathering will hold space for this exploration — a place to feel seen, safe, and at home in your wholeness as sensitive friends.
