For the Moms Who Feel Deeply
Published 6 months ago • 4 min read
Sometimes, it feels as if many aspects of motherhood are in direct conflict with who I am: my high sensitivity, my introversion, my need for calm and quiet, my craving for tidy spaces and gentle energy.
Instead, plenty of mornings start with breakfast orders being shouted as if I work the kitchen of a busy diner. I am rushing to fasten shoes, break up arguments, and pack lunches all before I've even had a sip of my coffee, let alone had a second to gather my energy or connect with myself.
I feel my children's big emotions like a tidal wave in my own sensitive body. Their excitement, frustrations, and tears all move through me. It can all feel like a lot sometimes, and I often question if I'm doing any of it well.
In busy places like soccer games and birthday parties it can feel challenging to stay "on" or energized in the midst of all the noise and activity. I wonder how others do it. And then I realize, this is just me, viewing my sensitivity as a flaw, something that needs to be changed.
It’s an old story, one that so many of us have carried.
Over time, I’ve realized I’m not alone. So many of us sensitive, intuitive, deeply feeling women are navigating this same paradox. We love our children fiercely, yet we realize our own sensitivity needs tending to on a daily basis. We crave moments of stillness, of quiet connection with ourselves, even as we pour our hearts into our families.
So many of us sensitive souls are also in the role of the cycle-breaker, where we are not only parenting our children, but also figuring out how to reparent ourselves. We're learning alongside our kids how to honor our big emotions and set our boundaries. It can be a lot to hold some days, and it's ok to acknowledge that.
In honor of Mothers Day in the U.S. next weekend, I thought I would take this newsletter to give a gentle shoutout to all the highly sensitive moms reading.
Here’s why being a sensitive mom is a superpower:
As deep feelers, we create a safety for our kids in our empathy. We notice the subtle changes in their moods, the signals that something is off, the unspoken needs behind their words. We understand their emotions and are able to give them space to breathe and feel, teaching them that it’s okay to be exactly who they are. Our homes may not always be Pinterest worthy and calm, but they are safe places.
Our finely tuned intuition allows us to sense what’s unspoken, to pick up on the subtle shifts in our children’s energy, and sometimes, to know even before something happens. Mother's intuition is real. How many times have you just felt a knowing that your child was sick, and two seconds later the school nurse calls. This inner knowing is a gift that helps us guide us.
Being a highly sensitive mom means you feel deeply, love deeply, and notice what others often overlook. It means you are attuned to the needs of your family. It also means YOU need care, gentleness, and compassion for yourself. Your sensitivity is not something to fix or hide; it is something to honor.
Your empathy, intuition, and deep feeling are not just strengths, they are the very qualities that make you the exact mother your children need.
This Newsletter I invite you to take a moment to reflect on all the ways your deep sensitivity has served your children, or anyone else in your life.

If you've ever wondered how I got into mediumship readings, the mind-body connection, the process of awakening and walking the journey home to ourselves - this is it. In this vulnerable episode, I unpack the decade that dismantled and rebuilt me - from spirit visits and health issues, to sudden loss and becoming a mother, to confronting my deepest self-abandonment patterns. It's what brought me to the work I do today.
Are you a highly sensitive woman navigating the intensity of a spiritual awakening? Does it feel like your world has been turned upside down, leaving you to rebuild from scratch? Are you noticing heightened sensitivity—seeing, hearing, and feeling more deeply —yet unsure how to make sense of it all? You’re not alone, and you’re in the right place.
In our mentorship sessions, I use my intuitive abilities and we work together to help uncover what might be keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll explore recurring patterns and gently bring to light areas that have been buried. I’ll guide you with practices designed to honor your sensitivity, deepen your connection to your body, and strengthen your relationship with your inner wisdom.
These sessions are space for you to feel seen, supported, and understood—nothing is too weird here.
Together, we’ll move beyond overwhelm and learn how to harness your sensitivity as a powerful source of insight and connection, helping you cultivate clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. Whether you’re experiencing a spiritual awakening, seeking to understand your spiritual abilities, or longing for greater alignment in your life, these mentorship sessions are tailored to meet you exactly where you are.

When I handed in my manuscript to my publisher this past May, I thought a few things might happen: I might feel really vulnerable for having my story "out there." I might celebrate with friends and family for completing a milestone. Or maybe I would simply exhale a huge sigh of relief. What actually happened took me by surprise. After I pressed send on years of hard work, I crumpled onto the kitchen floor and cried for a really long time. Like, an exceptionally long time. And then I took a...
When I was 7 years old I watched a National Geographic documentary with my family. It was about shrimping (shrimp fishing?) and I remember the crew pulling up their fishing nets to reveal hundreds of dead dolphins, turtles, and other sea life. All. That. Destruction...and they only collected a measly 6 shrimp for profit. I was horrified. While my family seemed to watch with interest and continued about their day, my world had been turned upside down. I locked myself in the bathroom and cried...
"I've only read about this in books!" he exclaimed, with obvious excitement and honestly, a little too much glee for the situation at hand. Not the thing you want to hear from the DOCTOR about to perform a complicated surgery on you. ..But here we were! Hospital gown and all. A place I seemed to find myself often: in paper gowns, staring into the eyes of perplexed doctors. It was 2012, at the very height of me hiding my spiritual abilities from the world. Read: I wasn't speaking my truth. In...
