Living with family, roommates, or partners can be an emotional roller coaster, especially for highly sensitive or empathic people like me. It's a whirlwind of absorbing energies from multiple personalities and moods. On this episode, we'll explore what it means to be highly sensitive, the differences between HSPs and empaths, and the importance of setting boundaries for our well-being. Equally important is taking care of our emotional and mental health. Peek into my self-care toolbox for HSPs and empaths, with practices to stay grounded and protect our energy. If you've ever felt overwhelmed or need guidance on managing sensitivity, this episode is dedicated to you. Let me know how it resonates.

About this space

Soft Alchemy is the evolution of my earlier work, In Case Nobody Told You. While the name has changed, the heart remains the same: creating grounded, honest spaces for healing, reflection, and liberation—especially for sensitive, intuitive, and socially aware beings navigating growth in a complicated world.
