Dear listener,

What if purpose isn’t something you have to chase but something that reveals itself when you choose to follow what feels good and true to you?

If you’ve ever felt like your sensitivity was holding you back—or like you had to figure out your purpose before you were allowed to fully live your life—this episode is for you.

I’m so honored to introduce you to Janelle Lindemuth, a spiritual life and soul purpose coach whose journey mirrors so much of what we hold sacred here at The Nourished Sensitive. Janelle and I talk about the messy, beautiful process of coming back home to your body, trusting joy as a guide, and remembering that sensitivity isn’t something to fix—it’s something to honor.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that your path doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. Purpose doesn’t have to be chased. And sometimes, the most important thing you can do is slow down, listen in, and follow what feels good—moment by moment.

With heart,
Leah
