104. Trading External Control for Inner Freedom

from Highly Sensitive Healing Hosted by Lauren LaSalle

In this week's episode, Lauren shares an example from her own life of what it looks like to really examine (and challenge) your deeply ingrained and automatic thoughts, beliefs, and patterns (which is exactly the work that she does with clients in her mentorship program, Becoming You!). Lauren expands on an Instagram post about using external control to feel internally in control. She describes how obsessing over hair, makeup, and staying “not sweaty” kept her from being present and became an ingrained habit even when it no longer helped, and she shares the recent situation that really pointed this out to her and caused a huge shift. Becoming You is a 1:1 mentorship for highly sensitive people who want lasting inner change. This work blends deep emotional support, subconscious belief clearing, and gentle integration, so healing doesn’t just make sense, it actually sticks.
