Ep 307: Introducing High Sensitivity Australia with Matt Glover

Have you ever wished there were Australian-based resources, trainings and person gatherings created by highly sensitive people, for highly sensitive people? In episode 307 of SelfKind, I'm joined by counsellor, nature-therapy practitioner (and long-time friend) Matt Glover to unveil ourr joint project High Sensitivity Australia.

Together we discuss:

⭐️ the brand new resource and website: High Sensitivity Australia

🌿 why our culture often tries to “tone down” sensitivity—and why we're taking the opposite approach

🌳 our decade-plus-long friendship (and how it began in a Facebook illustration group!) and what it has taught us about imposter syndrome and rejection sensitivity

🌼 what’s coming next: our ever-growing website. live online conversations, and gentle, HSP-friendly events

Ready to feel seen, supported and celebrated for your sensitivity? This episode is for you.
