It might seem odd, but a lot of dogs get stolen in the United States. Like most other things, it's all about money. This episode begins with an explanation and a warning about your pet. https://petkeen.com/dognapping-dog-theft-statistics/ Being sensitive is a good thing. Being told you are TOO sensitive is more of an insult. It is perceived as a weakness, as if there is something wrong and the way to fix it is to toughen up. That isn't going to work according to Jenn Granneman. Yes, being sensitive can be difficult at times but it is also a superpower. Listen as Jenn champions those who are labeled “too sensitive” with research to support her beliefs. She also has some insight for those people who are not highly sensitive but have sensitive people in their lives. Jenn is author of the book Sensitive: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World (https://amzn.to/456D3Qu). You probably don't think about it but recorded sound plays a major role in your life. Music, podcasts, radio, movie and TV sound –it is all very important to us. From Thomas Edison's first cylindrical recordings to today's digital downloads and streaming, the history of recorded sound is a story worth hearing. And here to tell it is Jonathan Scott author of the book Into the Groove :The Story of Sound From Tin Foil to Vinyl (https://amzn.to/3Kh1d2Q). Even if it is only occasionally, there are still plenty of people who use paper checks to pay for things. If you are one of those people there is something you need to consider the next time you order new checks. https://www.idtheftcenter.org/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

Over the next month, I'll be sharing encore episodes of the podcast - conversations that remain just as relevant and impactful today. New episodes will be back in September!  This week's encore episode features fan-favorite Dr. Amelia Kelley, and we're digging into what gaslighting really is, how it shows up in our lives, and how we start to heal from it. This conversation originally aired in 2023, but it's just as relevant today — especially if you're navigating the aftermath of emotional abuse or trying to reclaim your sense of self. Dr. Kelley is a trauma-informed therapist, researcher, and author whose work centers on women's issues, relationship trauma, adult ADHD, and empowering survivors of abuse. Together, we unpack how gaslighting is used as a tool for power and control, how it erodes confidence and self-trust, and why self-care isn't optional when you're healing, it's essential. What you'll hear about in this episode: The misconception of gaslighting: what it is and what it isn't  The effects of gaslighting on a victim's mental health  Dr. Kelley addresses the question, “Is lying gaslighting?”  You cannot heal from trauma that you are still experiencing  The steps to overcome and heal from gaslighting include becoming aware, getting outside feedback, and boundary setting  What self-care looks like during the healing process  Self-regulation for chronic stress when being emotionally abused  Learn more about Dr. Amelia Kelley: Dr. Amelia Kelley is a trauma-informed therapist who has conducted research on the effects of exercise on adult ADHD symptoms as well as the effects of resiliency on PTSD.

Does being sober make you an HSP, or are HSPs just more likely to drink in the first place? It's the ultimate chicken-or-the-wine-glass scenario.In this emotionally flammable episode, Vic and Hamish dive headfirst into the weird world of the Highly Sensitive Person – a personality trait that affects 15–20% of people and, as it turns out, possibly 100% of sober awkward podcast hosts.Are you the kind of person who cries at Bluey, avoids loud pubs, or needs a lie down after a trip to IKEA?

Then you mightjust be one of us.Vic realises she's been diagnosed with just about everything but scurvy, and Hamish confesses his secret talent for emotional sponge-mode. Together, they unpack what it means to feel everything, all the time, especially once the numbing power of booze is removed.Expect:– Tangents about crying in supermarkets– The healing power of chocolate pretzels– A touching tale of being lost in the Himalayas– And a surprisingly heartwarming conclusion about how being sensitive might actually be your secret superpowerSo, are we all just too sensitive, or finally learning how to feel?And is sobriety turning us into HSPs… or just helping us discover we always were?Plug in, get comfy, and let the awkward feelings commence.

In this episode of the Highly Sensitive Human Podcast, I'm joined once again by Dr. Tracy Cooper for a rich and inspiring conversation about the unique experience of being both a highly sensitive person and a high sensation seeker. We explore how these two traits can beautifully complement each other, or create inner conflict, and why understanding this dual temperament can be truly transformative. Tracy also shares details about his new seven-week course, designed to support helping professionals and anyone wanting to deepen their self-awareness. If you identify with these traits or work with those who do, this episode will give you powerful insights, practical tools, and a sense of connection on your journey.Link to the 7-week Course: https://www.highlysensitivehumanacademy.com/the-sensation-seeking-highly-sensitive-person-professional-courseLink to November 1st Webinar: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/growing-forward-for-high-sensation-seeking-highly-sensitive-people-tickets-1312399354799?aff=oddtdtcreatorSupport the showAbout the Host: Jules De Vitto is a transpersonal coach, trainer and experienced educator.

Are you craving deeper conversation as a Highly Sensitive Person? Wonder why small talk leaves you feeling flat? Or why your thoughts only settle into meaning once you say them out loud?In this episode of SelfKind—a podcast for Highly Sensitive People—I unpack two often-overlooked essentials for HSP wellbeing:

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.

If you're a Highly Sensitive Person, you've probably spent your life preparing for worst-case scenarios and bracing for impact — especially when it feels like life keeps pulling the rug right out from under you.

Have you been calling yourself an introvert—when in fact, you might be a highly sensitive person? Discover the key differences that could change the way you understand your own needs. Many people mistake emotional or sensory overwhelm for introversion, leading to misaligned self-care and unnecessary confusion. In this episode, we explore a common yet misunderstood overlap between two traits—one that's about social energy, and another that's about processing depth. If you've ever felt drained by social events but aren't sure why, this conversation is for you. Learn why 70% of highly sensitive people are misidentified as introverts and how this impacts your recovery strategies. Understand the three unique sensitivity profiles and how recognizing your type can drastically shift your stress management approach. Discover a simple question to determine whether your overwhelm stems from social exhaustion or sensory/emotional overload.   Tune in now to learn how recognizing your true sensitivity profile can unlock deeper self-compassion and more effective stress relief as an HSP.   Todd Smith, founder of True Inner Freedom Dreaming of a stress-free, balanced life?

Why does criticism from one person cut deep, while the same words from another roll right off your back? For highly sensitive people, criticism can feel like a direct assault on the self. But what if the sting of those words isn't just about what's said—or who says it—but something deeper inside you? This episode unpacks the emotional patterns that keep you trapped in pain and shows how a shift in perception can set you free. Understand why the same criticism feels devastating in one moment and harmless in another. Learn how your internal judge plays a critical role in how deeply criticism impacts you. Discover how to use a simple but profound inner work process to sidestep emotional shutdown and build resilience from within.   If you're ready to turn criticism into a path to self-liberation and inner peace, press play and begin your transformation now.   Todd Smith, founder of True Inner Freedom Dreaming of a stress-free, balanced life?

Are you a HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON? Do you recognize and feel a change in your environment immediately? Do you need time and space from individuals or crowds immediately afterward to feel centered again? Do you notice changes in voices, intonations and body language immediately? Is your body and nervous system a freeway of neuro-activity even in silence in a crowd? Have other chastised you for your sensitivity when it is actually your super power? Welcome to the world of Ixte Owul, TRANSPERSONAL SPIRITUAL GUIDE FOR THE HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON (@iste-owul, www.ixteowul.com) where these kinds of experience are celebrated, understood and encouraged. HSP is not a new acronym nor is it a disorder or disease. It's a personality trait shared by thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands. If you're curious if you fit the category, go to www.ixteowul.com where you can take a 20-pt quiz to determine if you fit the bill. This is not a sentence, it's a blessing. It's an understanding of your soul, your nervous system and your beautiful brain. In this episode of THE SOULFAM PODCAST, Ixte shares her methodology of treatment and understanding and integrating the parts of you that have seemed mystifying, aggravating and yet perfectly beautiful. As a mystic, tarot reader, energy guide and ceremonialist, Ixte created new techniques and methodologies for transforming what might have seemed overwhelming into a deep understanding of your own magic!!!!!! In this interview, she shares her own journey through sobriety, ancestral trauma release and her deep desire to help others, to lift up others and ease and empower their journey through this life on this planet at this time. Listen in, watch, and take the quiz on www.ixteowul.com. It's empowering and fun and a great relief to know you share these traits with so many beautiful souls. By recognizing these traits, and loving them instead of resenting and being confused by them, the doors open, the manifestation unfolds, the life you need and want comes to you. The Earth and all of the sensitive beings on it (land, birds, animals, other beings) are drawn to you. If you feel you are an HSP and wish for extra guidance, understanding or just another soul to share your feelings with, reach out to Ixte at www.ixteowul.com.

In this episode of the Deep Rooted Healing podcast, I read a beautiful poem I found called, "Hope" by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer.

May we all continue to find the hope and courage we need to share our most authentic selves in whatever ways truly call to us. And so it is.

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.

In this deeply personal and tender episode of the Deep Rooted Healing podcast, I share the story of discovering I had Hashimoto's—an autoimmune thyroid condition that marked the beginning of a powerful and unexpected healing journey.When I was first diagnosed, my lab results were the worst my doctor had seen. I was told I would need to be on thyroid medication for the rest of my life. And for many years, I followed that path, doing my best to manage my symptoms while carrying the weight of that prognosis.But over time—and through a series of quiet, intuitive nudges—I began to explore alternative healing practices. Reiki became a doorway into a different kind of relationship with my body, my voice, and my energy. I started to understand how much I had been holding in my throat: the unspoken words, the suppressed emotions, the fear of being too much or not enough. I began to heal not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.Eventually, I made the decision to wean off the medication and trust in the healing journey I was walking. And now, 1.5 years later, my most recent labs show that my thyroid levels are normal and healthy—a shift that both humbles and amazes me.In this episode, I explore:The symptoms and diagnosis of Hashimoto's—and what the labs revealedLiving with the belief that I would always need medicationWhat led me to explore Reiki and other holistic healing practicesDeep work with the throat chakra and the emotional wounds held thereHealing my relationship with self-expression and reclaiming my voiceHow energy work and inner listening supported physical transformationThe miracle of my body's ability to heal, in its own sacred timeThis episode is an offering for anyone walking the path of chronic illness, emotional suppression, or self-discovery. It's a reminder that healing isn't linear, but it is possible—and that your voice, your truth, and your energy hold incredible wisdom.Mentioned in this episode:Reiki and intuitive healingThroat chakra workInner child connectionHealing through expression and voiceLab work and medical shifts over timeThank you for listening and being here with me.

189  (This episode goes hand in hand with episode 190) Being a highly sensitive person obviously means we are more sensitive than others. This has real ramifications in our love lives— both wonderful and challenging.  Listen in to this VERY revised (almost totally new) version of an older topic, where you will learn that, luckily, you can support your sensitive self in ways that amplify the best parts of your sensitivity, and make the challenges of it so much easier.   . . .and how this will involve caretaking your sensitive Mind Body Heart System, (starting with your nervous system) MORE deeply and consistently than non-HSPs (like it or not!).In other words, even if you resist the idea, the truth is, in order to have an intimate relationship (and life) that feels deeply satisfying, nourishing, and fulfilling as an HSP, you need to attend more to your emotional well-being and nervous system regulation than non-HSPs.  In this episode you will hear my own story around this, and how, as I've accepted this, and learned how to caretake my sensitive nervous system (and sensitive mind, body, heart, and emotions), I've fallen in love with doing it. AND how doing so changed EVERYTHING for the better forever in my love life.This can be true for you, too. You'll also learn:why love and marriage can be so hard as HSP without truly caretaking your sensitive system in the right wayswhy accepting your higher need for emotional caretaking can be difficult, and why it's more than worth it to do sothe 4 simple but essential foundational steps to get started with right away to be able to truly caretake your sensitive systemAnd the best way to truly regulate the most foundational aspect of your emotional well-being (your nervous system) so you can always be able to guide yourself back to that calm, steady, connected-to-your-heart-and-wisdom place from which you'll best relate to your significant other in ways that lead to the deepest connection, love, and collaboration, and the most fulfilling intimacy. Without this emotional tending, the kind of relationship you most want – full of love, lightheartedness, attraction, effective and connecting communication, and mutual supportiveness – is likely to remain elusive.But with it? You set the stage for what can feel like magic to  happen in your relationship.

190 I made you a special short quiz to determine the level of dysregulation in your unique nervous system.  (This episode goes hand in hand with episode 189, so I highly recommend listening to it first, or after you take the quiz.)Why should you take it? Because as highly sensitive people (and really, as just regular human beings on this planet in these modern times), our nervous systems are often chronically dysregulated.And this has a major impact in a not-so-great way on our lives in general and especially on our relationships. So you need to understand if you have a nervous system that is dysregulated chronically or that tends to get easily dysregulated.Unfortunately this can happen even more easily for us than non-HSPs. When we are dysregulated, we react more strongly than we normally would, in one way or another, and that leads to much more drama, much more struggle in our relationships, and a lot less clear, effective communication, a lot less getting through to our spouses, and being able to really hear each other, a lot less open-heartedness and connection, and a lot less feeling the mutual supportiveness and sense of being on the same team.So there really are many different ways that nervous system dysregulation can show up to the detriment of your relationship and to the detriment of your life in general.And you do want to know if it is happening for you so that you can make the necessary changes. Because that's the really good news: you have so much sway over your nervous system regulation or dysregulation. It just can take a little bit of learning and attention to it.Dive in now with pen and paper in hand.SHOW NOTES:Take the Dysregualtion quiz here in written format.Learn all about Foundations of Emotional Well-Being Course; The Root Of A Better Relationship  here.

Have you ever been in a room and sensed social dynamics beneath the surface before a word was spoken? Perhaps you've noticed (consciously or unconsciously) a subtle glance, a shift in posture, or a hint of tension between the lines. If so, you're not alone. This kind of social sensitivity is part of being a highly sensitive person (HSP). This episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast is the first in a series that will explore the social dimensions of sensory processing sensitivity, the biological trait underlying high sensitivity. I'll be drawing on ideas from The HSP Owner's Guide, a mini-zine resource I created with Tuula, which is designed to help HSPs explore and discuss sensitivity as a normal aspect of being human. https://youtu.be/DFiJHxI9Qko What is Social Sensitivity? Social sensitivity refers to how highly sensitive individuals perceive and respond to emotional cues, interpersonal dynamics, and the tone of their environment. It's not a learned skill or a conscious choice; it's a normal variation in biological traits. More sensitive nervous systems naturally absorb larger volumes of environmental data and process it deeply. This means HSPs (those who score higher for sensitivity along a universal continuum), are more sensitive to social nuances and more susceptible to the effects of social stimulation. What is Sensory Processing Sensitivity? SPS is a trait found in 20–30% of the population (not just humans). It means that some are biologically wired to process more sensory input around us (environment), within us (internal), and between us (social). This trait can make someone more emotionally responsive, detail-aware, and easily overstimulated. Despite stereotypes and associations with the term, it's not often easy to tell a highly sensitive person by looking at them. You might even look calm and collected on the outside when your system is working overtime beneath the surface. Social Sensitivity and Early Learning The nervous system informs thoughts and feelings in response to a perception of safety or danger from cues and triggers. The way we interpret social data isn't always “objectively true", particularly if we grew up in unpredictable or critical environments. This pattern recognition can shape how we experience social settings well into adulthood. That's why intuition can be both a strength and a vulnerability for sensitive people. It's wise to ask: Is this gut feeling rooted in the present, or the past? Key Elements of Social Sensitivity in HSPs Heightened Awareness of Social Nuance More sensitive individuals might be attuned to micro-expressions, body language, tone changes, and subtle group dynamics. This can give them a natural ability to “read the room,” but it can also lead to emotional absorption and a tendency to take responsibility for others' discomfort. Not every HSP reacts the same way. Some feel compelled to help, others want to escape the weight of unspoken tensions. Personality, personal history, and social roles all play a part. Deep Emotional Responsiveness Many highly sensitive people feel others' emotions deeply. This allows for strong empathy and attunement, but also risks emotional contagion—carrying other people's emotional weight without realising it. Brain studies suggest that those on the more sensitive end exhibit increased activity in areas associated with emotional processing. But this doesn't mean you're doomed to feel overwhelmed by uncontrollable sources of emotion. With awareness and practice, it's possible to separate your emotions from those of others and develop healthy emotional boundaries. Rejection Sensitivity and the Need to Belong HSPs might be particularly attuned to signs of rejection or disapproval, whether real or imagined. Some develop habits of withdrawing or masking to avoid being perceived as “too much” or “too sensitive.” I've noticed a few people suddenly and unexpectedly leave the Haven community ...

188  Developing healthy boundaries is an absolutely essential part of having a great intimate relationship, especially as highly sensitive people.They are a way to take care of yourself, each other, and the relationship.  I teach 3 types of boundaries, and today we are diving into the 2 psychological, or energetic types of boundaries: Protection boundaries, and containment boundaries. (Please listen to episode 51 for Relationship Boundary Basics.)When you use these kinds of boundaries skillfully, you will be able to create more closeness in your relationship, and leave beyond patterns and behaviors that create extra division, conflict,  and animosity.The thing is, many HSPs are a bit weak in these particular boundaries. So let's change that starting now! Dive in to hear what these two types of boundaries are, whether or not you need to strengthen them for yourself, and how and when to implement them. For each type, you will hear 2 or 3 tips to grow stronger boundaries (including two visualizations you can use over and over again), so you can feel less pain, resentment, and regret, and be more skillful at communicating and connecting with your partner. Listen in.SHOW NOTES:CHECK OUT THE COURSES MENTIONED: Stop Taking It So Personally Coaching Privately with Hannah ENJOYING THE PODCAST?Don't miss an episode!

Plus, you'll get a sneak peek into our upcoming Central Park Calm Retreat on June 13th, 2025 - co-hosted by Jordan and myself - where participants will experience these transformative practices firsthand in the amazingly beautiful urban oasis of NYC's Central Park. Whether you're supporting a stressed-out team, raising anxious kids, or looking for ways to stay steady and nurture your own calm and wellbeing, this episode offers the clarity and calm you've been searching for!   Key Highlights From This Episode: The remarkable personal story that led Jordan to his work in stress management.

It's a vital part of life. It saves us from getting hit by cars, it helps us focus on – solving problems. But when stress becomes a way of life instead of a part of life, – that's when we see more of the problems.” — Jordan Friedman [0:20:13] “Yes, meditating can help you feel calmer. It can take the edge off [your] stress and anxiety, but if that stress and anxiety continues to flow into your life – you might get into a situation where meditation isn't enough.” — Jordan Friedman [0:26:52] “Something we get wrong – is that we're putting band aids on things that need more attention than a band aid.” — Jordan Friedman [0:27:25] “We have great control over our fight or flight responses; maybe not initially when we're first slammed with the stressor, but pretty soon after, the way we think about things [and] what we do can help us get back on our feet and move in a clearer, more confident, less stressed way.” — Jordan Friedman [0:34:37] “It's not only about changing your life situations to stop the fire hydrant of stress. It's also doing things to – keep your roots solid; breathing, sleeping, exercise, all of it.” — Jordan Friedman [0:38:34] “Reliable, predictable things in your life, [like] going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, – will help counter a lot of the lack of predictability that causes so much stress in the world.” — Jordan Friedman [0:44:09]   Watch our Finding Brave episodes on YouTube!

In this heartfelt and soul-deep episode, I open up about my evolving relationship with movement and exercise after years of body shame, self-hate, and disordered eating. I share a tender personal story involving a powerful angelic encounter and a song that arrived like a divine signpost on my path. Through the lens of healing, I explore how the term Light Warrior is helping me reconnect with my body—not as something to control or fix, but as a sacred vessel of light, strength, and love. I also read a passage from a book on Lightworkers called, Lightworker by Sahvanna Arienta that beautifully affirms this journey for me. This episode is an offering of vulnerability, spirit, and playfulness—a reminder that healing our relationship with our bodies is possible, and it all begins with love.I'm Emma Freeman, a Mixed Media Artist, Reiki Master, Psychic Medium and Teacher in Wisconsin.
