What if your sensitivity wasn’t something to hide, but a powerful guide to living with an abundance of clarity, creativity, and connection?

In this heartfelt episode of The Happy HSP Podcast, Jess Kachelman of Sensitive Women Rising shares how she discovered she was an HSP later in life, and how that realization transformed her. From feeling “too much” and difficult to love, to now embracing her intuition and creativity as her guiding lights, Jess’s story is a reminder that our perceived weaknesses can hold the key to our greatest strengths.

Listen along as Jess shares her journey from believing her sensitive nature was something to fix to learning how to embrace it as a gift, including how she:

  • parents her HSP children. 
  • deepens her self-compassion.
  • uses social media to support other HSPs.
  • taps into her creativity to build authentic connection in new and meaningful ways.

This episode is for any HSP who feels as though their sensitivity makes them “different” and “not enough,” as so many of us do. Join us as we explore practical ways to speak to yourself with more love, trust your intuition, and lead a more values-aligned life.

Topics covered:

  • Finding your HSP identity through social media.
  • Reframing sensitivity as strength, not weakness.
  • Overcoming shame and silencing your inner critic.
  • Parenting highly sensitive children with empathy.
  • Redefining creativity through authenticity and connection.
  • Using intuition to make aligned life choices.
  • Building community through vulnerability and confidence.
