In this episode of the High Sensory Mothers podcast, Karen is joined by Anna Finlayson for a deeply reflective and empowering conversation. Together, they explore how self-awareness and emotional accountability create the foundation for meaningful connection—especially for mothers and highly sensitive women navigating overwhelm, identity, and relationships.From setting imperfect but necessary boundaries, to breaking generational patterns of self-abandonment, this episode gently reminds us that it’s okay to be human, to mess up, and to begin again. Anna shares her wisdom on nonviolent communication and the power of small, self-honoring moments—helping us reframe guilt, understand our emotional responses, and connect more authentically with ourselves and others.-------Anna is a longevity coach and communication specialist dedicated to helping individuals build harmonious, authentic relationships.
