Sensitive Stories

Do you ignore your intuition? In this episode, I talk with Sofia Loureiro about reconnecting with your inner voice and:
Identifying the differences between intuition and anxiety
Using grounding tools such as journaling, card pulls, or time in nature
How compassion and curiosity can strengthen your self-trust
Sofia Loureiro, PhD, is a natural health practitioner, author (Penguin House), and mentor specializing in Highly Sensitive People (HSPs). Her work is informed by mindfulness, emotional intelligence, positive psychology and holistic health. With a background in human genetics, environmental chemistry, and a master’s in naturopathy, she bridges science, spirituality and intuition to create practical tools that support sensitive people in emotional regulation, inner clarity, and self-trust. She is the creator of the bilingual Sensitivity & Empathy Cards, an empowerment deck designed to help sensitive individuals reconnect with their inner voice and navigate overwhelm with greater awareness.
