Description

Grace is joined by therapist Christie Uipi, LCSW, founder of the Better Mind Center, to explore what it means to have a higher needs or sensitive nervous system. Christie shares her personal healing journey, how chronic symptoms often stem from learned neural pathways, and why sensitivity isn’t something to fix—but to understand and support.

They discuss how to know the difference between a limit and a growth edge, the pitfalls of perfectionism in healing, and how building a life around your nervous system’s true needs can actually bring more joy, not less.

Takeaways:

  • Nervous system sensitivity is real—and workable
  • Not all limits are bad; some are containers for thriving
  • Self-care isn’t weakness, it’s strategy
  • You don’t have to be “exceptional” to be at peace
  • Healing often means doing less, not more
