Sensitive Matters • Podcast
Sensitive Matters is the podcast that explores what we should have been taught but weren’t—unpacking the unspeakable, questioning societal myths, and shedding light on taboo topics around birth wisdom, women’s wisdom, mental health, and spirituality. Hosted by Christina Zipperlen—mom, somatic coach, jewelry designer, postpartum doula, and advocate for mental health and LGBTQIA+ rights—this show offers bold, nurturing conversations and practical tools, like nervous system-regulating meditations and Yoga Nidras, that guide you to deeper healing and understanding. From her home in Bali, Christina connects with truth-speakers, mystics, creatives, and visionaries who challenge outdated narratives and share soul-centered insights and mystical, witchy wisdom. Whether you’re seeking emotional healing, spiritual connection, or a safe space to feel seen, Sensitive Matters is your invitation to listen, feel, and grow.

Having existed in this world in the last few years meant having subscribed to wobbly, bumpy and often times weird tides of life, whether we wanted it or not. Collective changes, personal challenges, triggers and displaced nervous systems were felt and experienced on many levels. But there was also a lot of positive outcome. It is what life does. The good and the bad go hand in hand. And this gives us the power of choi...

Bodies come in many shapes, sizes, ages and stages of health. As humans and almost on a daily basis, we are exposed to standardized perceptions of what a beautiful, strong and healthy body and their features should look and feel like. We meet peer judgement, silent judgement and our own self-talk, oftentimes without even asking where these ways of thinking and believing are truly coming from.
In the following series ‘...
