So much has changed since my Granny passed away on July 19, 2015. I still miss her, which will never change. July is always a hard month. This year, it’s especially challenging because she has been gone for an entire decade at this point.
I penned an essay about my Granny and grief — link in bio.

⚔️ I often say that “Skyrim” is my virtual homeland, but “The Witcher 3” is my virtual vacation home. I wrote a piece about how video games can feel like going home, complete with their own brand of nostalgia and emotions. What makes a game feel like home? Like in bio to read the article!

Recovering from burnout can be challenging.

It can take months – or even years – to feel like yourself. Burnout is a thief in both day and night, slowly siphoning your willpower, passion, and sense of self. It sneaks up on you, plaguing the smallest items on your to-do lists to major life achievements. You cannot rest because you never rested in the first place.

✨This is the bookend article to last week’s article about burnout and inauthenticity. I uncover more about what it means to be burned out versus stressed. We can learn to pay attention to alerts, and then, there are antidotes when it all becomes too much.

I’ve been thinking a lot about nostalgia, tragedy, and autobiographical memories since re-watching “Revenge of the Sith” in theaters last week. I wrote about it for my Substack newsletter and digital magazine, To The Journey. Learn more and subscribe — link in bio!

This little Dorothy (A.K.A. me) wants you to know there’s a new episode of Wholeheartedly! 👠🫧🌪️ You’ve likely heard that everyone has a shadow self, and you may have even heard about the dark triad of personality and temperament. In this episode, I reveal the “dark triad” of high sensitivity: perfectionism, workaholism, and overwhelm. This work stems from a grad school paper and my own experiences. The three aspects tend to correlate to an obsession with time and energy – at least in her everyday landscape. We discuss the shadow side of being an HSP, from melancholia and being a control freak to impostor syndrome and obsessive, rigid tendencies. Some of us tend to keep a full plate, too.

🎙️ Red Alert – A new episode is live! In this week’s episode, Kaylin talks about things that no longer resonate with her, from the true crime genre and many facets of social media and large crowds to many aspects of life in between. Your 20s and 30s are truly formative as we continue to uncover more of who we are so we can lead a more authentic life. We move and change across the lifespan, and it can be jarring to not like something as much anymore or to develop a deeper sensitivity to something — especially as an HSP!

�A new episode is now live!� Welcome back to Wholeheartedly! Although it has been a while since our last episode, I turned on the mic for an episode I didn’t expect to record. At the end of July, I lost my 8 ½-year-old cat, Ilia Garnet. It’s never easy to lose a beloved pet, and as a Highly Sensitive Person/empath, it can be exceedingly difficult and heart-wrenching to experience every emotion during something like this. I talk about Ilia’s story, pet grief, grief theories, ways to cope, and more. Grief is not linear, and it affects us all.

This episode is dedicated to Ilia Garnet Staten, the best soulmate cat a girl could ever ask for. Thank you, Ilia, for spending your precious life with us and being such a good kitten. I’ll love you forever, Beanie Baby. � Listen now on and other platforms. � https://instagr.am/p/C-vJlyAuXfv/
