Summary

In this week's episode, Nikki breaks down and uses illness as a guru in the quest to grow ourselves, heal, and shed what no longer serves. Explore the trappings of critical self talk influenced by what is happening in our bodies before we know our bodies are fighting an illness. Ever wonder why illness feels more overwhelming for you as a highly sensitive person? It’s not just in your head. HSPs often face added frustration and self-criticism during sickness, but acceptance and self-kindness can make a huge difference. We highlight the significance of understanding the mind-body connection and practicing supportive self-talk. Learn how to manage your emotions better, conserve energy, and improve your mental health by embracing these practical strategies.
