There are moments in the day when something quietly shifts. Your shoulders drop without you meaning to.Your breath deepens and for a second, things feel a little less tight — not because life suddenly became easy, but because your body found a brief sense of ease. These moments are often so subtle that we barely register them. Yet for the nervous system, they matter deeply. In a world that moves fast, demands a lot, and rarely slows down for our biology, these small pauses ca

Life can be incredibly hard sometimes — unfair, painful, and for some people far more so than for others. Is that fair? No. And it’s also something we often have little to no control over. At the same time, life can be breathtakingly beautiful. I consider myself lucky in that sense, because my neurodivergence allows me to experience moments with great intensity. Yes, that means I can hurt deeply — but it also means I can heal and enjoy deeply, too. I can take in a situation w

It’s not a hobby. It’s

The Advent season is a special time of year – full of lights, traditions, and moments of reflection. At the same time, it can challenge us with stress, busyness, and endless to-do lists. For highly sensitive individuals , but not only for them, this period can become a real challenge. Between gift lists, year-end tasks, and social obligations, there is often little space for what truly matters: time for ourselves. This is exactly where the opportunity lies: Advent can be a mo

To me, there is something truly sacred about this time of year. As autumn deepens, nature invites us to slow down, to turn inward, to reflect. It reminds us of cycles, endings, and the quiet wisdom that comes with letting go. For many of us who experience the world deeply — the empaths, the intuitives, he ones who seem to feel more deeply — this season feels like home.
