NEW FREE WORKSHOP ~> You’re too emotional. You take things too personally. You overthink things. You’re so dramatic. You’re too sensitive. Ugh. Amiright!? If you’re like many people in the JJ community, it’s likely someone has said these words to you in some iteration. And, it’s likely you got the notion that being a highly sensitive or emotional person was a horrible thing to be. Many people grow up in households where being an emotionally expressive person isn’t desirable or even accepted. Maybe even shamed. So perhaps you learned to silently berate yourself for how deeply you felt when no one else seemed to be affected. You learned to make yourself wrong and hide your sensitivity as best you could. You learned to not “burden” others with how you feel. If this sounds a bit familiar, please know that you are most certainly not alone. In this week’s show, I discuss what it means to be a sensitive person in a world that tells you to be otherwise, how to embrace this part of yourself, and what it looks like to guard and care for your emotional self. This pod explores: Understanding why you may be more sensitive than others (there are actual names for it!) How a sensitive spirit is actually a super-power (Even if you’ve been shamed for it) My favorite tools for guarding your emotional energy and avoid energy vampires My favorite statements to shut people down when they dismiss you as being “too sensitive” NEW *FREE* WORKSHOP READY TO GET RID OF PERFECTIONISM, SELF-DOUBT, AND OVERWHELM?
