#236 | Why Highly Sensitive People Struggle More with Stress — And Heal Faster, Too

Why do highly sensitive people seem to get overwhelmed so easily—yet also heal faster than most?

If you're someone who feels deeply, thinks profoundly, and often finds yourself stressed by things others shrug off, you're not broken—you're wired differently. This episode uncovers the hidden strengths of being a highly sensitive person (HSP), and how your unique nervous system isn't just a challenge—it's a powerful asset when understood and embraced.

• Learn the science behind why HSPs experience stress more intensely, and why it's not a personal flaw.

• Discover the concept of “differential susceptibility” and how your sensitivity makes you more responsive to healing, therapy, and supportive environments.

• Hear real-life examples showing how HSPs thrive in the right conditions—and how your deep sensitivity can fuel personal growth, connection, and leadership.

Press play now to transform the way you see your sensitivity—and unlock the resilience and growth potential already within you.
