The Nourished Sensitive Magazine
A digital magazine devoted to holistic wellness, storytelling, and visibility for sensitive, deep feeling, and neurodivergent humans — explored through the lenses of mind, body, and spirit.
Why this exists
Sensitive people are often asked to be less. Less affected, less attuned, less porous to the world. This magazine starts from the opposite premise: that sensitivity is a way of knowing, and that the people who carry it have something the rest of us need.
Our mission is to unite sensitive individuals in mutual growth, holistic wellness, and learning — so we can live authentically and contribute our gifts to the world.
What’s inside
Every issue moves through the Nine Elements of Nourishment™, our framework for whole-person wellbeing. You’ll find:
Love Letter from Leah — a monthly letter from our editor-in-chief, with reflections, curated resources, and an invitation into what’s unfolding at TNS.
Ask Alissa — guidance on life, growth, and self-trust from highly sensitive person mentor Alissa Boyer of Life By Alissa, author of Not Too Sensitive and host of the Not Too Sensitive Podcast.
Marina’s Intuitive Desk — reflections on intuition and inner awareness from certified intuitive life coach Marina Biggio.
A Neurodivergent Therapist’s Nervous System Toolkit — practical regulation tools from Marina Brink, licensed therapist for sensitive and neurodivergent humans.
The Nourished Sensitive Podcast™ — conversations with sensitive creators, healers, leaders, and storytellers.
The Collective
Beyond the page, The Nourished Sensitive Collective is where we gather.
Our circles meet monthly and are held by facilitators from within the community — Chronic Illness Support, Mindful Art, Intuitive Development, with more forming as we grow. Our Friendship Circle is free and open to everyone, whether or not you subscribe.
Members also share a private WhatsApp thread: a slow, low-pressure space to check in, share what you’re working through, and hear how others are navigating the same things.
See what’s coming up on our events calendar.
Who’s behind it
The Nourished Sensitive is edited by Leah Tarleton and written by a growing roster of sensitive and neurodivergent contributors. Paid subscriptions fund their work directly.
