HerBusiness - Insights for Women in Business

So many women business owners believe that their sensitivity and emotions hold them back in business. That our empathy and passion must be muted in order to succeed. In this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast I sat down with counsellor and founder of the Self-Kind Hub, Erica Webb, to talk about being a highly sensitive entrepreneur — and why it's actually a superpower for your business success. Being a highly sensitive person (or HSP) means you might feel rejection heavier, feedback sticks longer, and being visible online can leave you drained. You pick up on others emotions and feel tuned-in on other's experiences. But what if that sensitivity is actually the opposite of a weakness? What if it's actually one of the greatest advantages you can have as a business owner? Here's What You'll Learn in the Episode:  Discover how Highly Sensitive People think and act – and if you might actually be a highly sensitive entrepreneur. How to handle rejection, self-promotion, and visibility without letting them crush your confidence. Why your tendency to “feel everything” could make you the best person to deeply understand your clients. The exact ways sensitivity can hurt your business if ignored… and how to flip it into one of your greatest strengths. Practical boundaries and daily rituals Erica uses to stay centred and focused (that you can borrow today!) Why embracing your sensitivity leads to more authentic leadership, stronger client connections, and sustainable growth. Mentioned in This Episode: The HerBusiness Network The Self-Kind Hub

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.

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.

Rupture without Repair, and the Discomfort of Being Misunderstood   In this deeply personal episode, Patricia (she/her) unpacks the fallout from a neighborhood rupture and the painful loss of community connection. Through the lens of being autistic and AuDHD, she explores rejection sensitivity, communication breakdowns, friendship trauma, and why repair isn't always possible. She also shares how co-regulation, body doubling, Costco runs, and fierce family love provide grounding. This conversation is raw, tender, and validating for anyone who has struggled with being misunderstood as a neurodivergent person. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE ·       The neighborhood rupture and how a joke led to exclusion from a community group ·       What happens when rupture and repair aren't possible in friendships ·       The autistic need for clarity, communication, and closure ·       Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) and how silence feels like rejection ·       The PDA (persistent drive for autonomy) response to being left out ·       The pain of friendship trauma and feeling misunderstood ·       How autistic people process and loop on unresolved conflict ·       The role of community in belonging and nervous system regulation ·       Why body doubling and co-regulation help autistic/ADHD brains stay grounded ·       Finding comfort in Costco runs, small joys, and simple routines ·       Permission to need rest, wear earplugs, or retreat from sensory overwhelm ·       Generational differences in friendship and communication between neurodivergent people ·       Practicing adaptability through change (like moving workspaces at home) ·       The bittersweet truth: not all friendships are meant to last ·       Gratitude reframed through an autistic lens—how to find appreciation without bypassing pain SOUND BITES “For us, it felt like there was no space for human mistakes, no place for rupture and repair.” “This activated friendship trauma in me, and I've noticed my protective armor is up.” “Intellectually, I know this is fine. Emotionally, feeling misunderstood and powerless is really hard.” "You have a right to speak up." "Not all friendships last forever." "Life is messy. Friendships are messy." “Body doubling is such a beautiful way to borrow someone else's nervous system to regulate.” “Sensitivity is nothing to apologize for. It's how you're wired. You have the right to take up space.” SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.   TOPICS COVERED (please adjust for addition of introduction) 00:00 Navigating Community Dynamics 08:42 The Impact of Silence and Rejection 17:06 Rupture, Repair, and the Complexity of Relationships 23:52 Finding Joy in Everyday Moments 29:13 Gratitude and Perspective on Life PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

So here's Caroline!

She kept having doubts that this relationship could last. But she really wanted it to work. And it has. The relationship is so strong now, and she feels  really free to be her full self in it. She is so much happier, feels really secure, connected, and in love and loved. She feels how much power she has to continue to make things great, and has seen her partner grow a lot, too, as she has focused on her own inner work and how she shows up in the relationship. What did it take for her to get here? Listen in as she shares many gold nuggets of wisdom, pieces from her coaching journey that made all the difference for her, and tips for other HSP women to make their marriages more secure, loving, and mutually supportive.You will also hear: What things were like for her before working with me (many of which are oh-so-common for HS women)More about what has changed for her and her partner since working with meSpecific details about the nervous system work and thought work that made so much difference for her.Why is it normal to fear that this work may not “work” How she started believing coaching with me would work–and why that made all the difference in the world What made it possible for her to be so good at implementing the coaching I gave her and applying the tools.Why “leading love” works, and how much power you have as a highly sensitive woman to change your relationship for the much betterHow her partner shifted himself as she did this work, and how much sway her inner work had in how wonderful the relationship is nowWhat has been the difference for her between listening to the podcast, and direct coaching support and how therapy and coaching have been different for herWhy the structure and process of coaching with me works and makes it easy to really DO what it takes to make your relationship greatWhy she wants to have a non-sensitive brain and why “equipping” it matters for love.And lots more!You'll come away from this episode with deep insight into what so much of what I've shared on this podcast looks like applied in the real life and relationships of an HSP woman, more confidence that you really have so much power to improve things in your marriage, and a deeper sense of hope and motivation that you, too, can have a much brighter future as you do this work yourself. SHOW NOTES:Learn more about Jungle Cacao Peru HERE, or follow on instagram @junglecacaoperuHop on Hannah's Email list hereCome coach with Hannah in her private 1:1 Marriage Coaching program, and get her deep, super individualized support to make your marriage more full of security, connection, love, and mutual support than ever.
