123 | The #1 Reason Traditional Self-Care Advice Never Works for HSPs and Introverts

If self-care feels like another thing you’re failing at, this episode is for you. As a highly sensitive introvert, you don’t need more routines, rules, or productivity-based self-care. You need emotional safety.

In this episode, I’m reframing what self-care actually looks like for HSPs and introverts — especially when emotions feel heavy or overwhelming. We’ll talk about why traditional self-care often doesn’t work for sensitive nervous systems, how emotional safety supports emotional regulation, and what heart-centered self-care can look like in real life.

This conversation is about slowing down, listening to your emotions, and creating support instead of pressure. If you’ve been emotionally exhausted or overwhelmed, this episode will help you rethink self-care in a way that actually feels calming and sustainable.
