Embracing Sensitivity as a Superpower

Being a sensitive person can feel like both a strength and a weakness at times.

Dr. Elaine Aron, a clinical psychologist and expert on high-sensitivity defines high sensitivity’s characteristics as a more elaborate depth of processing, easy overstimulation, emotional responsiveness, acute awareness of stimulations, and empathy.

In this episode, I speak with Mitali Sankhe- a college professor at Mumbai University and a self-professed sensitive being.

Mitali deconstructs" being a sensitive" and ways to best manage it.

In this episode, Mitali and I explore what being a sensitive person looks like, we laugh, share deeply personal stories of being the "sensitive one" in romantic relationships, share stories of breaking off our engagements, and offer a reframe for better understanding sensitivity as a "super power"

Letter from the Guest Speaker:

Hello!

Mitali Sankhe here, wishing all my  blessed  souls “Namaste” ( I bow to your divine soul ) from India (Mumbai) where I live with my loving doctor parents.  Healing is a gift which has come naturally to me as I belong to family of doctors. 

In my professional capacity , I am working as a college professor, associated with Mumbai University where I teach marketing & advertising to my enthusiastic students . I am also a PhD aspirant in *marketing management* from Mumbai University .  

My bachelors is in accounting and finance from Mumbai University . In my 20s I had worked for two (corporations )namely HDFC bank and Manipal Cigna Health Insurance . I have done my MBA ( Masters in Business  Administration) in retail marketing from one of the finest colleges in India -Welingkar Institute of Management . My MBA made me understand the finer nuances of human behavior and aligning marketing strategies for the same . 

Today I offer my astrology services professionally under the pen name tarotbymitalisankhe on Instagram where I do personalized tarot readings , numerology , angel card readings and vastu consultations . 

It gives me immense joy to guide people, predict their future , even help them heal naturally and move towards a brighter future . I advocate strongly for my clients to seek professional help and ensure their mental health is taken care of .  

I was even lucky to get an opportunity to collaborate with Times  of India ( India’s leading newspaper ) in lifestyle  section where my astrology videos were aired as a part of  a video series in 2022 .  

My Instagram account @tarotbymitalisankhe is a way to promote community healing using my marketing knowledge , astrology and  spiritual knowledge .

I am truly grateful for all the incredible women and men I have come across via Instagram . 

Lastly to sum up our presence or absence both can influence the lives of other people. Some are those who are known to us and some are completely strangers. That relationship we develop can be a reason for their happiness or their sorrows.No matter what relationship we have, our aim should be to bring positivity to others life.Our presence should make their life a beautiful experience and even our absence should make their life bright. Leaving a heart wounded can sometimes make them hopeless for life .  

My life mantra is to share my marketing knowledge with my students , always try to heal people, uplift them and be a positive influence on every soul I come across .
