Being a Highly Sensitive Person: The Science, The Soul, The Shift

Vulnerability is Cool

Welcome back to the Vulnerability is Cool podcast. In today’s solo episode, I’m breaking down something that made everything finally make sense for me.

I had always heard the term “highly sensitive person” growing up, but I didn’t really get it until I was sitting in couples therapy with my ex and the therapist said, “You’re a highly sensitive person.” I was like… wait, what?

Since then, I’ve been obsessed with understanding what this means and how it affects our nervous system, our relationships, our mental health, and the way we show up in the world. If you’re someone who feels everything deeply, who notices the shift in someone’s tone, who gets overwhelmed in crowds, or who just wants to understand yourself better… this episode is for you.

This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding your nervous system, protecting your energy, and realizing that your sensitivity is not the problem, it’s your power.

In this episode:

• What it really means to be a highly sensitive person (HSP)
• The brain science behind HSPs
• How this shows up in relationships, friendships, and daily life
• Why overstimulation and anxiety hit differently for HSPs
• How to protect your frequency and stop people pleasing
• What to do when you feel like you're "too much"
• How to actually thrive as a sensitive person
• The practices that help me stay grounded and come home to myself
• Manifesting love, safe relationships, and the future version of you
• And why it’s safe to just be you

Affirmations to say with me:

• I am safe to be me
• I accept all that is meant for me
• I show up in my frequency

This one’s a warm blanket for the soul. And if you’re a highly sensitive person… welcome home. :')
