This final episode of season one beautifully sums up one of the main points of creating the podcast: That the world needs more sensitivity - and that we are the ones who can provide this and help create a friendlier future.  That of course requires us to step up, embrace our sensitivity and its superpowers - and dare to be who we are. Loud, proud, and visible. And that is what today's conversation with MarLisa Hollands is all about. MarLisa Hollands is a Life Designer activating your inner wise woman.  She is trained in Strategic Intervention by Tony Robbins & Cloe Madanes, she h ..read more

This episode holds so much warmth and beauty - while talking about some very vulnerable areas. Today's guest is a Solution Oriented Hypnotherapist who also works in palliative care, and we talk about how her sensitive superpowers are such a wonderful gift to help people feel seen and held at what can easily be a very scary time. Louise is a 40-something living in the North of England with her small family and growing menagerie of rescue pets. She grew up worrying about environmental issues and would frequently get upset at certain tv shows or at the end of holidays but never ide ..read more

This episode is near and dear to me because we talk about a topic I have felt particularly sensitive and vulnerable about. We are talking about fashion and beauty and visually expressing and embodying who we truly are.  And I have never met anyone who has made me feel as comfortable around these areas as Yifan does. She has a very contagious passion for and belief in our right to be beautiful JUST THE WAY WE ARE. It is so liberating to hear her talk so lovingly about how she helps female entrepreneurs express their truths and their power - how to be their brand!  Yifan Nairn is a fas ..read more

Everybody can get overwhelmed, and many people talk about burnout, but as today's guest says - when others feel overwhelmed, they take a break and feel better, but for a sensitive person, it can almost make us quit and go back to bed for 3 weeks.  In this episode, we talk about the importance of finding our core - that internal place where we reconnect to who we really are in a busy world that tends to pull our attention outwards. Karen Hewitt has some very practical tools and tips on how to achieve this centered state, even in a busy life.  And this episode is actually the perfect d ..read more

Sensitive people, including those on the spectrum, are connected to the world in unique and intriguing ways. We may see, hear, and sense things others might miss. We interpret in a much more detailed manner. Today's guest is Robert Gold who has gone from feeling isolated as a child for his sensitivity and special talents, to designing ways of better understanding our world. What was once experienced as a 'handicap' has become one of his most valued gifts. His passion is helping others appreciate who them are and what they have to offer, others. Robert Gold is a practicing Ontologist with forty ..read more

This episode is the 25th anniversary of the podcast, but it is also special because today's guest is the first HSP person I have interviewed who has always felt loved and appreciated for her sensitivity.  Mary Barringer only experienced small pockets of resistance to her sensitive nature when she was growing up, and this to me was such a revelation. And I hope this will become the way future generations of HSPs grow up - naturally understanding that, of course, it's a gift to be sensitive! Aside from this very important nugget, we also talk about what it's like to be sensitive beings on t ..read more

Everyone deserves to live and work under nice conditions, but as sensitivities, we tend to be more affected by the subtleties in our surroundings. Today's guest is a Sensory Interior Designer who possesses synaesthesia. This neurological gift allows her to experience multiple results from a single sensory input. For example, she won't listen to classical music while driving because the images of costumes, architecture or period furnishings, that come to mind can be quite distracting. When seeing colors, they may come with flavors, scents or some other sensation, and so on. In Carolyn Gold's ca ..read more

As sensitives, we are typically all too familiar with the sense of being 'wrong', and how it feels to fail at living up to the expectations we think others have of us. From this experience, today's guest has developed the superpower of being really good at listening to people and validating them.  This is beautiful in all areas of life, but Aubrey Reinmiller has taken her magic power and used it in the field of physical fitness and well-being. I find that especially powerful since many of us have bad memories from gym classes in High Shcool which can make us reluctant to seek out a person ..read more

Being sensitive usually means having a strong sense of other people's emotions, but for some, this sensitivity doesn't end when people pass away.  Today's guest learned, that not only is she able to pick up on what people around her are going through, but she can also pick up communications from the other side.  Shaine Amour is an Empowering Medium, and I don't think it's a coincidence we met just after my mom passed away! But have no worries - this is not a sad conversation at all! In fact, this episode is so filled with love and fun and energy, that the connection couldn't quite ke ..read more

What role does culture play in our lives as sensitives? Our guest today is Juri Love who was born in Japan and moved to America where she is thriving as a journalist, producer, model, actress, mom, and philanthropist. That has been a big shift and we talk about how especially women have different roles and opportunities.  Juri has a very full schedule and shares how she learned to focus on doing the things she enjoys doing and how she uses manifestation and Law of Attraction to do so. Juri has a past of violence, abuse, and homelessness which has taught her to be strong and to use her int ..read more
