90 | You’re NOT Fine, It's Emotional Numbness! Simple Nervous System Reset for HSPs and Introverts

If your emotions feel muted, like you’re just going through the motions and can’t really feel happy, sad, or anything at all this podcast is for you. Emotional numbness isn’t a flaw or a sign of weakness; it’s your nervous system’s way of protecting you from overwhelm. In this episode, I’ll break down why highly sensitive introverts often freeze or disconnect, and I’ll guide you through a gentle, micro practice to start reconnecting with your feelings. Even if it’s just a few seconds at a time. And if the thought of feeling again feels scary or impossible, I’ll also share how you can give yourself a safe, supportive space to slowly start thawing out and tuning back into yourself.Sign up for the Emotion Reset Challenge: https://latoyaedwards.net/challengeRelated Episodes:88 | STOP Trying to Fix Yourself as an HSP!

89 | Feeling Too Much at Once? How HSPs can Regulate Emotions When Feeling Overstimulated

Feeling more than one emotion at the same time can be overwhelming, especially if you’re highly sensitive or introverted. Instead of moving forward, you might find yourself overthinking, shutting down, or feeling completely stuck. In this episode, I’m sharing how to use a simple emotion check-in practice to stop freezing and start processing your feelings in a calmer way. Think of it like emotional triage: learning to isolate and sit with one emotion at a time so you can actually move through it instead of being buried under all of them. If you’ve ever wished you could make sense of your emotions without spiraling into overwhelm, this episode will give you a practical, gentle tool you can return to anytime.Sign up for the Emotion Reset Challenge: https://latoyaedwards.net/challengeRelated Episodes:87 | This is NOT Emotional Awareness: Try this Emotional Regulation Technique Instead86 | STOP Trying to Hold it Together - It's Keeping You From Regulating Your Emotions85 | Exhausted?

Are you constantly trying to “fix” yourself, scanning every thought, analyzing every feeling, and pushing harder to finally feel okay? If so, no wonder you’re exhausted. In this episode, we’ll talk about why the fix-it cycle keeps highly sensitive introverts stuck in overthinking mode, and why your emotions don’t actually want to be solved. You’ll learn a simple practice to pause, soften, and give yourself permission to rest instead of performing emotional gymnastics. If you’ve been trying so hard to “get it right” but still feel drained, this conversation will show you a gentler way forward.Sign up for the Emotion Reset Challenge: https://latoyaedwards.net/challengeRelated Episodes:87 | This is NOT Emotional Awareness: Try this Emotional Regulation Technique Instead86 | STOP Trying to Hold it Together - It's Keeping You From Regulating Your Emotions85 | Exhausted?

87 | This is NOT Emotional Awareness: Try this Emotional Regulation Technique Instead

Have you ever tried to do an emotional check-in, only to end up feeling more exhausted than before? If that sounds familiar, you’re not doing it wrong on purpose, your brain is just stuck in overthinking mode. In this episode, I’m breaking down the difference between constant mental scanning and a true emotional check-in, especially for highly sensitive introverts who already live in their heads a lot. You’ll learn a simple 3-step check-in practice that helps you move out of judgment and problem-solving, and into gentle awareness that actually leaves you feeling calmer and more grounded. If your emotional check-ins have felt more draining than supportive, this conversation will give you a reset you can return to anytime.Sign up for the Emotion Reset Challenge: https://latoyaedwards.net/challengeRelated Episodes:84 | STOP Feeling Emotionally Overwhelmed with this Simple Journaling Prompt85 | Exhausted?

86 | STOP Trying to Hold it Together - It's Keeping You From Regulating Your Emotions

If you’ve been carrying the weight of everything (taking care of everyone else, keeping life moving, and pushing through chaos) while quietly shutting down inside, this episode is for you. As highly sensitive introverts, we often slip into over-functioning, staying strong for everyone else while our own emotions pile up in silence. The truth is, that pattern leads straight to emotional burnout. In this episode, I’m breaking down what burnout really looks like for HSPs, why emotional check-ins matter even when life feels overwhelming, and how just a few minutes of pause can help reset your nervous system.
