It’s not uncommon for those of us identifying as neurodiverse/spicy to be labeled as “too much.”
But what if we are simply enough and worthy as we are?
Maybe the path is more about stepping into the areas of our life we have been told are not desirable traits. Maybe this path is all about embracing the discomfort. And what if the path becomes one of curiosity, exploration, and contraction/expansion to step into our truth fully? Do we become empowered to be our authentic self and blaze our own path?
Shifting Sensitivity
Stepping into empowerment through accepting our sensitivities can be challenging, but what if it was equally rewarding? Learning how to rely on spirituality as a point of integration for the areas of our life that seem out of balance may just be the stepping stone we need to be more fully ourselves. Read More

What I’ve Learned & How I Can Help Others
- Transforming External Judgements – By noticing how my sensitivities have been judged by others, I have learned to trust that I’m sensitive in these areas for a reason. Letting go of shame is a big part of this process, and allows me to function as I need.
- Exploring Rebellion and finding Personal Integrity – Working with spirit to truly accept and love myself as I am, I’ve found life can flourish when I’m not rebelling or conforming to others’ expectations.
- Deepening Experience of Sensitivity – When judgement of senses has fallen away, I’ve noticed a natural curiosity to explore what senses can actually be with spirit’s involvement. This tends to be more visual, auditory, and felt-sense oriented understandings of how I interpret the world. These shifts have allowed spiritual gifts to come through!
- Self-Protection and Emotional Processing – Learning how to protect my own sensitivities, like wearing headphones in unpleasant environments, has given me the space to not need to navigate others’ frustration when they expect me to hear them in the grocery store. This was a stop on the way to the destination of being able to integrate without reliance on protection through emotionally processing how I have been affected in the past. It is much less common for me to need protection now, and I actually have positive experiences from engaging with my sensitivities in places that were previously uncomfortable.
Current Growth Areas
- Social Cues – Paying attention to conversations and interactions to better understand social anxiety. When I leave a conversation thinking about what I said, what’s actually happening? Was I giving away my power by oversharing?
- Intentional Communication – Understanding my intentions when I ask questions, respond, or disengage in an interaction. Am I engaging in a way that benefits both me and the other person, or is it one-sided?
- Unmasking & Stimming – Allowing myself to stim in public and working through the discomfort. Facing the fear that I’ll be seen as a nuisance or even thrown into a psychiatric unit.
