HSP Introversion, Burnout, and Rediscovering the Sacred Self

Have you ever wondered why you can’t stand bright office lights, long workdays, or feel more emotionally reactive and overwhelmed than those around you?

In this episode of The Happy HSP Podcast, my guest Janelle Lindemuth shares her experience with feeling pressured to keep up in a fast-paced, overstimulating corporate environment, which can led to deep burnout and disconnection from our truest selves.

In this episode, Janelle shares:

• How she discovered she was an HSP after reading Quiet by Susan Cain.
• Her journey from corporate burnout to spiritual reconnection.
• Why denying her sensitivity only intensified her exhaustion.
• The role of introversion, art, and mindfulness in her healing.
• How she now supports high-achieving HSP women through coaching.
• What it really means to reclaim the sacred self.

Topics covered:

• Growing up feeling different and “too sensitive.”
• Burnout and sensory overload in high-pressure work environments.
• Spiritual growth and the power of slowing down.
• Creativity, intuition, and finding joy on the other side of burnout.
• Building a life that honors sensitivity instead of fighting it.
• Coaching sensitive women to return to their authenticity.
• Importance of finding a support system and community for HSPs.
