In this episode, Chelsea and Abby explore the emotional experience of being visible online as Highly Sensitive People. Rather than offering easy answers, they process the fear of criticism, the vulnerability of sharing your voice, and why so many of us choose to stay small to avoid being misunderstood in the comments section.

Together, they reflect on social media, nervous system regulation, childhood conditioning, and the ways our sensitivity shapes how we experience visibility. The conversation also explores emotional boundaries, the endocannabinoid system, energy, and why learning to tolerate being seen may be an important part of healing and reaching our potential.

This episode also explores:

• Why criticism and judgment can feel especially intense for Highly Sensitive People
• The hidden cost of avoiding visibility online
• How childhood experiences shape our relationship with criticism
• The difference between healthy emotional boundaries and absorbing other people's emotions
• Social media, nervous system regulation, and protecting your energy online
• The connection between the endocannabinoid system, anxiety, and emotional resilience
• Why healing isn't about becoming less sensitive—but learning to honor your sensitivity

If you've been holding yourself back from sharing your work, your creativity, or your authentic self because you're afraid of what people might think, this conversation offers a compassionate space to explore why visibility can feel so vulnerable.

In this episode, we explore the fascinating science of the Endocannabinoid System (ECS), a regulatory network involved in mood, stress response, sleep, pain perception, inflammation, immune function, and overall well-being. Many experts consider the ECS one of the most important systems in the human body—yet it's rarely discussed or taught in mainstream health education.

Abby shares her journey from burned-out ICU nurse to Canny Nurse Certified RN and cannabis educator, while Chelsea reflects on how grief, healing, and life experience shaped her relationship with cannabis and wellness.

In this episode, we explore the tension between finding your tribe and embracing diversity, and how identity and shared values create culture over time.

We break down how geography, environment, and personal values influence where people choose to live, who they surround themselves with, and how distinct cultures naturally form. From Salt Lake City to more progressive urban centers like Portland, we unpack the subtle ways people cluster around shared beliefs—and what that means for belonging, division, and connection.

This conversation dives into the psychology of “us vs. them” thinking, including how othering and projection show up in everyday life. We explore the inner conflict of wanting diversity while also craving alignment—and why it’s natural that you won’t resonate with everyone.

But this isn’t just about culture—it’s about your internal world.

True acceptance of diversity doesn’t start externally—it begins with embracing the full range of emotions within yourself.

We discuss:

• The role of anger, emotional extremes, and self-expression
• Why suppressing parts of yourself leads to projection onto others
• The concept of “transcend and include”—integrating all parts of who you are
• How self-awareness and self-acceptance lead to personal growth and maturity

Ultimately, this episode is about learning how to:
Find your people without rejecting others—and embrace differences without losing yourself.

If you’ve ever struggled with belonging, identity, or feeling caught between individuality and connection, this conversation will challenge the way you think about culture, diversity, and who you are.
