This week on the podcast, the tables are turned and I am interviewed by one of my all time favourite podcast hosts, Jenny Blake, for a crossover episode on her Free Time podcast.
We engage in a heart-to-heart conversation and dive into the world of highly sensitive people (HSPs), empaths, and introverts in the business world. The discussion centres around building a successful and sustainable business that aligns with one's energy and soul, while embracing the strengths and challenges of being a sensitive CEO.
đź’ť Key Takeaways
- Embracing Sensitivity: Understanding that sensitivity is not a weakness, but a trait to be honoured and integrated into one's business approach.
- Setting Boundaries: Overcoming people-pleasing tendencies and prioritising healthy boundaries to protect emotional well-being.
- Working with Fellow Sensitives: The power of connecting with like-minded individuals and running businesses that cater to HSPs, empaths, and introverts.
- Intuition as a Superpower: Developing and leveraging intuition to make important business decisions and find alignment with personal values.
- The Decision to Pause: I share my journey of deciding to take a break from my podcast and slow down, making space for some personal projects and self-care.
- Nature's Influence: The role of nature in nurturing creativity, intuition, and providing a calming space for self-reflection.
- Giving Permission: Encouragement to remove email and social apps from the phone, setting boundaries between personal and business life for enhanced well-being.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
