Am I too sensitive? Embrace life as an HSP with Grace Kirkley
In today's conversation, I sat down with Grace Kirkley to explore how our nervous system influences everything from our stress responses to our ability to reach goals like weight loss, business growth, or just feeling better day to day. We talked about the “attic and basement” analogy for hyper- and hypo-arousal states, and how recognizing when we’re dysregulated is the first step toward real, lasting change. Grace shared tools to bring ourselves back into a regulated state—like movement, grounding, and breathwork—and emphasized the importance of self-awareness and curiosity over judgment. We dug into common coping mechanisms like scrolling or emotional eating, and how those often stem from unmet needs like safety or connection. What really stood out to me was the idea that instead of pushing harder when we’re overwhelmed, the most effective thing we can do is pause, regulate, and return with more clarity. This episode was such a powerful reminder that building a better life starts with tuning into our bodies, honoring our emotions, and choosing self-compassion over hustle.
