A podcast appearance on resilience

Sharing soul nourishment for Highly Sensitive People with coach Alex Shore.

Welcome to my weekly newsletter building a supportive community for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs).

I’d like to share a new podcast that I’ve recorded with resilience coach Alex Shore for her fantastic Notes on Vulnerability podcast. You can listen here.

I met Alex through Augmentive, and loved our conversation, which ranged over topics including:

• How HSPs can find balance in a world that isn’t designed for sensitivity.

• The importance of acknowledging and owning our gifts as HSPs.

• Common HSP myths.

• How self-acceptance can help reduce over-thinking and rumination.

• Redesigning your life to fit your temperament.

Chatting with Alex

I closed with this message:

“Do not be ashamed of your vulnerability and your ability as an HSP to feel deeply. One of the things we may have done is to numb or dissociate from that deep feeling. And that’s okay. But once we can crack through to that vulnerability, it’s the greatest strength we have. It’s what’s needed on the planet right now. We need people who can really feel, connect and be authentic. Be yourself, know there was nothing ever wrong with you. And have compassion for yourself: All the parts that have felt challenged, have felt hurt, and where there has been pain. But let’s also accept that sensitivity is a true asset, strength and your superpower.”

I hope you find the podcast a nourishing and inspiring listen,

See you next week!
