If I had to describe being a Highly Sensitive Person in just one word, I might use the word 'exhausting'. Honestly, it can be tiring being a highly sensitive person, but it's not all doom and gloom.
I'm a big believer that when we understand and respect our sensitivity, we open the door to being able to navigate the tricky bits of being HSP more easily.
In this episode (# 295) the podcast, SelfKind, join me, Erica Webb - registered counsellor, somatic exercise coach, yoga teacher and highly sensitive person - as I talk about 5 of the reasons you're so tired as an HSP (and what you can do about it).
Mentioned in this episode:
🏠 SOMA:HOME starts late April 2025 and now is the time to jump on the early interest list!
