Have you ever found yourself thinking, “If I'd known how to honor my sensitivity sooner, maybe life wouldn't have felt like such a fight to survive”? If so, you're not alone. And today's episode explores what it looks like—in real life—to thrive as a Highly Sensitive Person. My guest co-host is best-selling author Dr. Judith Orloff, and we're talking about her new children's book, The Highly Sensitive Rabbit. It's a sweet story that helps HSP kids (and tender-hearted grown-ups!) build everyday tools for boundary-setting, emotional balance, and self-trust. We discuss how to turn “crybaby” moments into connection, how to reframe empathy as courage, and how to nurture that inner child who still needs to be seen and soothed. This conversation offers fresh insight and gentle practices to help every sensitive soul—young or grown—thrive with confidence and self-compassion.

If it seems like discussions about the state of the world seem to turn ugly lately, listen to this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast! Host Elizabeth Cush talks about what's behind the divisiveness and how to start healing.“I don't have to be friends with someone who I disagree with, but I can see them as a person with their own struggles, with their own fears, with their own beliefs.” — Biz CushWhat happened to the “good old days” when we could just agree to disagree? Instead, it seems, people today divide the world into “us” versus “them”—whether it's by race, religion, political party or even lifestyle choices. So many of us tend to lump anyone who experiences the world in a way that we don't into the category of “other.” It's easy to dismiss “others as less moral, less informed, less than…. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a life coach for highly sensitive women, talks about some of the roots of conflict in today's world, how sensitive women can navigate a fraught political climate with integrity, and how to take steps toward finding the peace and compassion that can help heal community. Circle of Sacred Sensitivity MembershipFind the full show notes and resources here.Support the show

200  I have developed a habit of forgiveness over the years in my marriage. And today I want to tell you about it and why it has saved my marriage–and my own heart– over and over.  Forgiveness is so easily misunderstood. I share about how I was confused about it, too, and how, in the past, this led to stopping myself from forgiving things my husband has done that felt hurtful to me. But, luckily, I figured out how to move past that, and I learned how to really forgive. (And to be clear, this did NOT mean I let him walk all over me or keep doing hurtful things. In fact, it is because I have learned to forgive so well that he is NOT doing hurtful things nearly as much!)I want you to hear my story, because I think you may be inspired and also surprised by how much developing this habit of forgiveness has done for me, for my husband, and for our marriage. It has even allowed my husband to become a better, and better, husband over time. So listen in to learn what it took me, why it's made such a tremendous difference in our lives together, and how you can also develop this healing, connecting habit of forgiveness, for the sake of your own heart, and your own marriage.SHOW NOTESJoin the Master Class: FREE YOUR HEART FOR MORE LOVE; GETTING PAST BLAME, RESENTMENT, AND GRIEVANCE.

She is so much happier, feels really secure, connected, and in love and loved.

In this podcast I outline 3 steps toward becoming an empowered highly sensitive soul. If you are a highly sensitive person, likely you are somewhere in this journey. We all have different formative experiences, but what we have in common is the experience of being a bit different. Perhaps you are more highly attuned, a big feeler, or have heightened senses. Whatever your experience is, there is a journey you must take to step into empowerment around your sensitivities. If you experience high sensitivity and need some support, I offer Coaching, Astrology readings, Ayurvedic and Yogic support and guidance. Check out my website for more information here.

197 One of the reasons so many marriages and relationships are not as good as they could be, or are really quite painful, is that we tend to approach our relationships in instinctual ways. Since instinct often comes not from our inner wisdom (that intuition's role), but from our inner protective patterning and our cultural conditioning, following our instinct in our relationship can often slowly –or quickly– erode the love and closeness in it. The truth is that building and maintaining the best possible marriage with our partner entails a lot of things that are not instinctual—that are actually quite counterintuitive!We want to embrace these counter-instinctual ways–and don't worry, over time they eventually do become natural or instinctual to do. But to embrace them, you need to know what they are, of course! So today I am going to share 18 counter-instinctual approaches or understandings that HEAL and CONNECT and lead to truly a fulfilling relationship with your partner.You'll also hear about how I followed my instinct in my first marriage until I ran into the ground, what the difference is between instinct, intuition, and skill, and how when I say counter-instinctual  approaches I also mean cutting edge, and well, simply effective. Seeing as the way we have been doing relationships for the last 70 years or more is obviously not yielding the loving, secure, mutually corroborating, deeply connected marriages we really want as women,  tune in today and learn 18 of the counterintuitive things to understand and live out to make your marriage one you feel so RIGHT in, so at HOME in, and so much LOVE in.SHOW NOTES:Take the FREE QUIZ: What's Your Best Next Step To Improve Your Marriage?Join Hannah for private 1:1 Marriage Coaching, and get her deep, super individualized support to make your marriage more full of security, connection, love, and mutual support than ever.

Claire Lerner joins me to talk about how we can best support “big reactors” — highly sensitive children who experience the world with heightened intensity, passion, and emotion.   Together we explore:   Why trying to “change” a child often backfires — and why shifting our own approach can spark real change. How to recognize when your child's explosive behavior is driven by overwhelm, rigidity, or a need for control. The difference between masking and thriving, and why kids may act very differently at home than at school. What it means to be your child's “rock” during meltdowns and how to hold limits without fueling the fire, How to create structure and predictability that helps sensitive kids feel safe and more flexible. Why consistency matters more than quick results — and what to expect before things get better. Practical, real-life strategies for navigating transitions, setting boundaries, and reducing daily battles.   Whether you're parenting a highly sensitive child or you just want to strengthen your connection and reduce the chaos at home, this conversation will give you validation, hope, and tangible tools to help your child — and your whole family — thrive.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Does this sound familiar? You keep hearing that the only way to thrive as a highly sensitive or neurodivergent leader is to just “toughen up” and push through—so you try to fit into that mold, but end up feeling exhausted, misunderstood, and on the edge of burnout. It's frustrating, right? You're told your sensitivity holds you back, but all that's doing is making you question your worth and lose touch with your real strengths. What if embracing your unique wiring is actually the secret to authentic, impactful leadership (and way less burnout)? In this episode, you will be able to: Discover strategies that turn high sensitivity into a leadership superpower for more authentic and effective influence. Unlock the unique advantages neurodivergent leaders bring that boost innovation and team success in unexpected ways.

195 This may be one of the most important episodes you will hear to make your marriage the one you want it to be. Especially if, like so many women, you wonder “Why should I be the one to do the work on our relationship?” Or you feel burdened or resentful that you seem to be alone in working on your marriage. Or if it just seems unfair that a lot of relationship advice is directed at women, when men have so much to learn when it comes to having a great relationship. If you're feeling that way, I get it. I've been there. AND it is making it HARDER to have the loving, connected, mutually supportive marriage you want with your spouse. In this episode, you'll hear why. And why this line of thinking is leading to an almost epidemic of women being unhappy in their marriages. What I want most is for you to feel deeply fulfilled in your relationship–and you want that too! So we've got to address this. Because trying to create deeper, better love from a sense of burden and resentment will never work. You didn't get married to just tolerate your relationship. You signed up for something way better than that. You want to truly enjoy your marriage. And like it or not, that means you WILL have to work for it, no matter how much your partner is also working on it. But it can be fun, even joyful. In fact, in this episode, I share how I work on my marriage every single day---with joy, passion, and feeling like it's a sacred honor that I GET to do–and how you can, too. Listen to this episode to move past the burden and resentment that comes from feeling like you have to do this work with no or very little help from your spouse, and so you can feel truly empowered to do what it takes to make your marriage what you want it to be.SHOW NOTES:Join Hannah for 4 months of private 1:1 Marriage Coaching, and get her deep, super individualized support to make your marriage more full of security, connection, love, and mutual support than ever.

✨ In this soul-nourishing solo journey of Awaken Your Wise Woman, Elizabeth Cush invites us to step into the sacred space within, where our wounded inner child still longs to be seen and held. With the gentle guidance of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the powerful magic of parts work, Biz illuminates how the echoes of unmet emotional needs from childhood give rise to protective parts—like the inner critic, people pleaser, and perfectionist. These parts, though forged in pain, carry ancient wisdom and deep longing. With tenderness and compassion, we're reminded that healing begins when we listen to these parts with love and curiosity, honoring the divine intelligence they bring.

Licensed family therapist and international consultant on high sensitivity Alane Freund explains what high sensitivity is, how it shows up in children, teens, and adults, and gives her insights on how parents can help a highly sensitive child flourish.

Midyear energy brings a natural pause point—a chance to reflect and ask: how can I use this midyear energy to be bold? It’s an opportunity to explore what being bold really means for highly sensitives in business and leadership. Spoiler: it doesn't have to be big or drastic. In fact, for HSPs boldness is less about force and more about alignment—it's the intentional practice of stepping outside your comfort zone in service of your essential self. Being highly sensitive and bold is the ultimate intentional use of the tension. Bold doesn't cancel out sensitive—instead, they amplify each other. In our final Business Miracles podcast episode, I walk you through what it means to be both highly sensitive and bold, and why that's not a contradiction—it's an advantage. We talk about competence and risk as a practice, how to recognize when you're denying your essential self (and how to pivot), and why boldness is less about hustle and more about alignment. You'll get a clear five-step process to help you take bold action, rooted in your HSE strengths like intuition, creativity, and deep spiritual connection. This is your invitation to let go of the “other 80%er” (non-HSP) way of doing things and instead lead in a way that's true to who you are. Along those lines, we will be moving this podcast over to our YouTube channel, where fresh training content, just like you receive here, will be shared twice per week.

In this soulful episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, Elizabeth Cush invites highly sensitive women to lovingly attune to their inner worlds amidst the noise and intensity of the outer one. With heartfelt vulnerability, she shares how deeply the current state of the world can impact sensitive souls and emphasizes the importance of creating sacred space for grounding, rest, and energetic realignment. From placing hands on the heart to daily chakra meditations and basking in the imagined warmth of sunlight, Elizabeth offers nourishing rituals that allow women to anchor themselves in compassion and presence. She speaks of energetic hygiene not as a luxury, but as a necessity for showing up in the world as radiant, heart-centered beings. Tapping into her intuitive gifts, Elizabeth also shares her Reiki practice and visualizations to channel healing light through the crown chakra and down through the body, helping listeners reconnect with divine flow. She highlights the transformative power of nature, rest, hydration, and soul-aligned community—reminding us that we are our own greatest resource. This episode is a gentle yet powerful call to honor your sensitive spirit, to soften into your body, and to reclaim your energy as sacred. As we awaken our inner wise woman, we remember that our sensitivity is not a burden—but a beacon of light needed in this shifting world. Join the meetup for highly sensitive women in August!

If you're a parent of a highly sensitive child, you know that planning a simple trip to the park can feel like orchestrating a military operation. What looks like a fun family outing can quickly turn into hours of repeated questions, worst-case scenario planning, and emotional meltdowns before you even leave the house.In this episode, parenting expert Rachel Bailey joins me to share why traditional planning approaches often backfire with sensitive kids and what actually works instead. Rachel explains how sensitive children's brains are wired to assume threats in unpredictable situations, which is why your child might ask "What if I break my arm?" when you mention going somewhere new for the first time. You'll discover practical strategies for creating the structure and predictability these kids crave without letting trip planning take over your entire life.In This Episode, I'll Cover:Why sensitive kids assume the worst when facing unpredictable situationsHow to identify your child's specific triggers from past experiencesCreating "when/then" plans that help kids manage discomfort in new situationsThe three essential elements every trip needsHow to handle the 176th repetition of the same question without losing your mindPlanning transitions both TO and FROM events and travelDeciding which experiences are worth the extra effort and which to skipConnect with Rachel:www.rachel-bailey.comwww.youtube.com/c/rachelbaileywww.rachel-bailey.com/podcastwww.facebook.com/groups/RachelBaileyinstagram.com/rachelbaileyparenting________________________________

You shape your emotional experiences SO deeply. Even if you can't see it now, even if it feels like your partner is the main shaper of how you feel in your relationship, even if it seems like you are often emotionally at the effect of the world.  YOU, in fact, are the #1 source of your own emotions.This is the best news EVER. Because it means you have so much more power over how you feel in your relationship--and how the relationship goes-- than you've ever known. It's time to learn to access this power--what I call Emotional Agency. (Think of this as a follow-up episode to the last episode, Emotional Delegation 101. Although they go together, you can listen to either one first.)In this episode, you'll delve deep into the details of where your emotions really come from (likely not where you've always assumed they come from). And you'll hear many concrete examples to illustrate this essential teaching and make it clear as daylight, so you can:develop a whole new, way more empowered relationship with your emotions. start to soften, influence, and guide your emotions, regardless of outside circumstancesStart to feel way less disappointment, resentment, frustration and upset, and WAY MORE ease, love, lightness, and closeness, so you can naturally make your marriage how you want it to be.It all starts by being truly open to understanding the real source of your feelings. Everything will get better once you really understand and live this. So dig in to really get this life and love-transforming understanding.SHOW NOTES:Join Hannah for 4 months of private 1:1 Marriage Coaching, and get her deep, super individualized support to make your marriage more full of security, connection, love, and mutual support than ever.

When the world feels heavy, it's easy to lose yourself in fear, anger, and exhaustion—especially as a highly sensitive person. Between political turmoil, humanitarian crises, and personal responsibilities, many of us are carrying a quiet, background dread that can slowly erode our sense of peace.In this episode of the Highly Sensitive and Strong Podcast, we explore how to find the sacred in the mundane—how to stay present, connected to love, and attuned to joy, even when life feels heavy. I share personal stories, reflections on collective grief, and practical ways to soften into everyday moments that offer healing and hope.

Do you find yourself stuck in loops of overthinking, second-guessing every decision, and fearing you'll make the wrong choice? For highly sensitive people, overthinking isn't just a mindset—it's often a nervous system response that erodes self-trust. In this episode of the Highly Sensitive & Strong Podcast, we'll explore why highly sensitive people (HSPs) struggle with self-doubt and how to begin trusting your body's cues again.You'll learn:Why overthinking feels safer than decidingHow to shift from perfectionism to aligned decision-makingHow to start building self-trust through small, everyday choicesA personal story about navigating big life decisions without spiraling into doubtExplore more tools for nervous system regulation and self-trust inside my membership, Rooted Resilience.

192  If there has been one major underlying concept that I have woven into nearly every episode of this podcast, it is the concept of emotional delegation (or its opposite, emotional agency). BUT I've never made a podcast episode solely dedicated to making sure you understand this concept. So today is the day! I made this episode to clearly define emotional delegation for you, and help you see how it may be playing into your relationship challenges, and so you can start the journey of letting it go — because it is really the #1 underlying habit that pretty much EVERYONE falls into that hurts our relationships (and you're not going to hear about on many other relationship podcasts. I truly can't understand why this gets left out so often, because it is pretty much everything when it comes to marriage problems!)So listen in to learn:What emotional delegation is and how it completely disempowers you in your relationship.Where emotional delegation comes from (hint, both nature and nurture) and why pretty much everyone does it.Signs of what it looks like, so you can recognize if you may have this habit.Why understanding it is so important.Why emotional delegation is so detrimental, and the specific tolls that it takes on you and your relationship.My own personal stories of how it has affected me and my relationships.And what happens when you learn to stop emotional delegating, and step into its opposite: emotional agency.  As you recognize that you are emotionally delegating, you hand yourself, and your marriage, a huge win. When you stop doing it, and begin to step into emotional agency, instead, you empower yourself even more, and give your relationship the very best chance to become the truly loving one you have always wanted. So don't miss this essential episode. SHOW NOTES:Join Hannah for 4 months of private 1:1 Marriage Coaching, and get her deep, super individualized support to make your marriage more full of security, connection, love, and mutual support than ever.
