☑️Do you find that the littlest things cause you to overreact and then feel guilty?

☑️Wish you knew how to feel your emotions without them taking over?

☑️Are you so used to hiding how you feel or checking out that it’s hard to even know what’s going on inside?

☑️Ever wonder if being “too emotional” is just who you are… and if that means you’re broken?

Take a deep breath. You’re not broken, you’re just a highly sensitive introvert trying to survive in a world that doesn’t make space for sensitivity. I got you!

This podcast will show you simple strategies to stop hiding your emotions, reset your nervous system to reduce emotional overwhelm, and embrace your sensitivity as a strength instead of something to hide.

You’ll learn practical tools to stop feeling emotionally drained, create self-care routines and space to rest and recharge during your day, and feel understood and seen for who you truly are.

Hey, I’m LaToya. A single mom of 4, Life and Emotional Resilience coach, and fellow highly sensitive introvert. I spent years believing my emotions were a problem to fix and that I just needed to be less sensitive.

I thought I had to push through the emotional exhaustion and burnout, stuff my emotions, and keep it together no matter what, even when I was falling apart inside.

But journaling changed everything. It helped me stop the emotional spiral and finally feel safe being myself.

I created simple journaling routines that support my nervous system, creativity, and need for deep rest and a slower pace. And now, I’m here to share it with you!

If you’re ready to stop stuffing your feelings, snapping under pressure, or feeling like your emotions are too much…

If you’re craving calm, clarity, and connection without losing who you are as an HSP and introvert…

And if you want to feel more grounded and less drained by daily life …

This podcast is for you.

113 | The Hidden Link Between Sleep and Emotional Regulation for HSPs

December 04, 2025 • LaToya Edwards | Life Coaching and Emotional Resilience Coaching for Women • Episode 113

Ever notice how one bad night of sleep can send your emotions into overdrive? As a highly sensitive introvert, I’ve experienced firsthand how poor sleep makes me more reactive, anxious, and easily overwhelmed by the smallest things—like noise, someone’s tone, or even a crowded space.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real connection between sleep and emotions, why it hits HSPs harder, and how to create gentle bedtime routines that calm your nervous system instead of overstimulating it.

If you’ve been feeling emotionally exhausted, irritable, or stuck in overthinking, this conversation will give you the tools to recharge, regulate, and restore your inner calm through better sleep.
