  • 101: 5 Values to live by as a highly sensitive professional

    101: 5 Values to live by as a highly sensitive professional
    Apr 3 2024
    Join me this week as I discuss the 5 Values I think all highly sensitive professionals could use as their North Star to avoid overwhelm, create safe relationships and have confidence in what they do.

    These are my 5 company values and the values I live by as a highly sensitive person and business leader:

    #1 - Self-love and Self-trust

    #2 - Motivation

    #3 - Diversity and Inclusion

    #4 - Community

    #5 - Grit

    In this episode, I share with you how I define each value and talk you through why they are so meaningful and worth pursuing in the context of being highly sensitive.

    They also speak to the sort of community and space I am cultivating for highly sensitive professionals to join and develop themselves in a safe and fulfilling environment.

  • 100: Facing your fear of conflict: Not a want, but a need for HSPs

    100: Facing your fear of conflict: Not a want, but a need for HSPs
    Mar 18 2024
    Almost a decade ago, I had a major conflict with one of my siblings. And the truth is, I wasn’t equipped to handle it. Not like I am today.

    Fear of conflict is very common for HSPs. Simply because of the emotional charge these conversations involve. A non-HSP would feel an average emotional charge. You get 220 volts, just because of the way your nervous system and your brain are wired. Managing conflict for an HSP, at first, feels like asking a teddy bear to go to war. It just isn’t our thing.

    But if we leave or bury our head in the sand every time there is a downward curve in the relationship, we won’t be able to maintain the relationships which are most valuable to us, whether it is in our friends, at work, or with our family.

    In this episode and in my upcoming Exclusive workshop, I teach you how to be ok with the idea of conflict, and how to approach it with more confidence in ourselves, and in others, in a way which is less emotional, and a bit more objective.

    Learning to navigate these emotionally charged conversations will allow you to set the boundaries which you need to set, to say No (or Yes) when you need to, and generally create space for yourself within any relationship.

    Managing and reframing your fear of conflict will also enable you to collaborate with others, in various contexts, more confidently and comfortably.

    RSVP for your Exclusive Fear of conflict workshop HERE – 3 spaces left.

    I will see you inside!

  • 99: 3 strategies to turn criticism into opportunities

    99: 3 strategies to turn criticism into opportunities
    Mar 5 2024
    Does receiving feedback or criticism trigger alarm bells in your mind? Does it become a dreaded conversation where you feel attacked, rather than an open conversation you welcome and learn from?

    If that’s you, join me this week on the podcast as I teach you 3 strategies you can implement today to turn feedback and criticism into endless opportunities in your life and career.

    HSPs can find these conversations difficult and we dive into the reasons why as it is important to understand our context and automatic reactions.

    Then we start shifting towards the benefits of being open and acceptant of any feedback coming your way, in a way that is going to release a lot of energy for you.

    Finally, I lay out my 3 favourite strategies to practice and nail receiving criticism in any situation, whether formally or informally, and whether we are expecting it or not.

    Join us this month at the HSP Power Hub HERE to dig deeper into this topic, and getting all the support you need to create your best life and career as an HSP.

    I will see you there!

  • 98: Get time on your side

    98: Get time on your side
    Feb 20 2024
    Have you ever felt constrained by time, pressured by it, or anxious about it?

    Conversely, have you ever felt anxious at the idea of having a long stretch of time ahead of you?

    This is something that, as a highly sensitive person, I have experienced time and time again.

     And this has led to a lot of confusion and overwhelm when it was time to plan, organise and prioritise, because I wasn’t comfortable with the time element, and I didn’t know why.

    Later on, I figured out that I was highly sensitive, and it all started to make sense.

    If you are someone who gets anxious, overwhelmed or confused around planning, prioritising, organising your time, but also if you find yourself not being able to stick to deadlines and see your commitments or project through to the end, this episode is for you.

    Today, we are figuring out how to get time on our side. So, friends, let’s get started.

    Join our 3-day challenge, "Get time on your side", HERE.

  • 97: Are you willing to be messy?

    97: Are you willing to be messy?
    Feb 6 2024
    Join me on the podcast today to learn to manage your perfectionist inclinations, so that you are able to show up confidently, even when things get scary, and you can really focus on your growth, on your journey, and on your power to bring incredible things to the table, rather than constantly worrying and being upset about not being “perfect” enough.

    Today, I am sharing with you how I have built acceptance towards things being messy and imperfect, and now use it as a superpower, and teach HSPs in my community to do the same.

  • 96: 5 strategies to thrive when misunderstood

    96: 5 strategies to thrive when misunderstood
    Jan 23 2024
    Join HSP and leadership expert Muriel this week on the podcast to explore the best strategies to thrive when you feel misunderstood as an HSP.

    Today, we talk about this feeling of being misunderstood, or perhaps not being understood at all, when you are HSP.

    She shares two stories around feeling misunderstood which she has experienced over the Christmas holiday – you’re not alone!

    She shares how she's managed these situations, the strategies she has used to thrive, and what she has learned to keep growing.

    She is teaching you 5 strategies in order to keep going and keep thriving even when people around seem completely disconnected from your experience as an HSP.

    We naturally want to insist, re-explain, repeat – out of frustration – but how about we take a step back and regain our power with the strategies she suggests?

    Applying these strategies will allow you to navigate people’s reactions in a balanced way, and find solutions that work for you as an HSP with ease and in peace.

    Join us within the HSP Power Hub membership HERE from 1st of February to start creating your best life as an HSP.

  • 95: Learn to rest, not to quit

    95: Learn to rest, not to quit
    Jan 9 2024
    “When you’re tired, learn to rest, not to quit.” - Banksy

    Join me on the podcast this week as I explore the significance of this quote for us as HSPs.

    We often equate “I am tired/overwhelmed” with “I can’t do this”, and therefore quit on our dreams or on some goals which feel out of reach because we are highly sensitive and often depleted of our energy levels, or experience intense peaks and throughs which scrape away our self-confidence.

    I share my biggest lesson from 2023 around stopping the confusion and seeing that my dreams are completely within my reach if I feel rested. 

    I teach you how rest and being away from stimulation is paramount and maybe the only non-negotiable we have to work with as HSPs to achieve our goals.

    I share 3 top tips with you to help you on your journey towards feeling more rested and maintaining motivation, strength and resilience to achieve anything you put your mind to.

    Learning to rest is my version of sustainable success for HSPs.

    94: Upgrading your self-care routines during the Holidays (And beyond!)
    Dec 19 2023
    Self-care is a true gift to yourself as an HSP. We are exploring self-care in this last episode of the year, with the intention of giving it centre-stage all year long to feel at our best.

    I give you important context around self-care, its true meaning and its importance for HSPs.

    We deep dive into our main challenge when it comes to self-care and the reason why we have a tendency to put it on the back burner.

    I give you three solutions to start practicing and applying today, over the Holiday season but also throughout the year.

    I teach you how to become really good at hearing and honouring your emotional, physical and mental needs, every single day of the year, so that you consistently calm your nervous system, recharge away from stimulation and feel aligned with the best version of you day in and day out.

    Join of thriving community of highly sensitive leaders and contributors HERE and why not give us a try in January?
