In this episode, I talk with Sally Reid --an extraordinary HSP empowerment coach, energy healer, and quantum alignment expert-- whose work is transforming how sensitive, self-aware, high-functioning individuals approach healing and growth.After surviving two near-death experiences, she emerged with the ability to channel a powerful field of spiritual intelligence known as The Council of Truth. Since then, she's been helping clients break free from the invisible energetic patterns and trauma imprints that traditional methods often miss—guiding them to realign with their authentic selves and finally feel at home in their own energy.We talk about the deep work beneath mindset shifts… the kind of healing that happens when you stop forcing outcomes and start listening to what your energy and body have been trying to tell you all along. Sally shares how high-achievers and highly sensitive people (HSPs) are uniquely wired—and how that wiring, once understood and honored, becomes a superpower rather than a burden.We also dive into her Bliss Quantum Alignment System, the role of the nervous system in spiritual growth, her life-altering interactions with The Council, and what it truly means to live in joy and resonance with your soul's purpose, and how all of this relates to Universal Law... An incredible episode.. Drop In!www.sallyreid.comSally Reid Bio:Sally Reid is an Empowerment Coach and energetic alignment expert for high-functioning, spiritually aware individuals who have done the healing, built the life, and still feel something is quietly off. She helps clients stop forcing outcomes and start listening to what their energy and body have been trying to say all along. Her approach blends energy medicine with insights from trauma healing, vibrational biology, and nervous system repair—bridging intuitive truth with physiological change. What sets Sally's work apart is her ability to channel The Council of Truth—a field of intelligence that speaks with clean clarity, dissolving distortion and mirroring alignment rather than offering advice. After two near-death experiences and 15+ years of client work, Sally offers depth, precision, and real energetic restoration to those who are ready to stop fixing—and start living from what's real.

As HSPs in business and leadership it’s imperative that we practice intuitive discernment, especially as we navigate the increasingly fast pace of change in the world. We do not have the luxury of time on our side when it comes to making decisions, and the more we strengthen this skill, the more ease we will experience, the more ability we will have to create true impact, and the more income we will create as a result. As a community, we’ve been especially focusing on the art of intuitive discernment inside The Highly Sensitive Training Program over the last few months, and it is incredible the transformations that have occurred as a result. If you’ve ever wanted to get a “peek behind the curtain”, now’s your chance to get a front row seat. Listen in to a recent Weekly Training Round Table I lead along with a 15-year member of our coach team, Lorna, where we engage in an interview-style conversation. We bring you way back to the original 12-week bootcamp I created for HSP entrepreneurs over a decade ago, and we discuss how those trainings evolved over time into what they are today. We share how with the consistent use of intuitive discernment, our program has grown into a comprehensive leadership training curriculum with 8 different training tracks and a library full of trainings specifically created and curated for highly sensitives in business and leadership. If you’ve ever been curious what it’s actually like to use intuitive discernment as an HSP stewarding a 7-figure mission, or what it’s like to be a part of an HSP Coach team, or even better an HSP member of the Business Miracles community, this is one episode you don’t want to miss! “We are wired to defend against change so you have to continuously ingest and direct retraining.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 2:29: How to work with the Business Miracles trainings 6:37: Why does the Business Miracles course focus on 12 trainings 9:17: How does the course look today and why were these changes made 15:42: Why is the assessment tool important “When we are engaging with the trainings from the leadership tracks it is nourishment.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather's book DIFFERENT: http://www.differentthebook.com/ Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com/ Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com/ Learn more about the Highly Sensitive Leadership Training Program: https://www.businessmiracles.com/highly-sensitive-leadership-training-program/ Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/211

Quote: Slowly, a gentle, quiet, personal victory of the spirit grows out of her fear and doubt. -Elaine Aron Chapters 0:26 Introduction to Anxiety and Sensitivity 4:01 Signs of Highly Sensitive People 8:47 Understanding Your Sensitivity 10:13 Strategies for Managing Sensitivity 13:19 Embracing Your Unique Perspective Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the intricacies of feeling anxious versus being highly sensitive, offering insights to help listeners understand their emotional landscapes better. Building upon the foundation laid in episode 725, I revisit the first 13 characteristics of highly sensitive individuals, encouraging those who resonate with these traits to embrace their unique experiences. Recognizing the challenges that come with heightened sensitivity is crucial; it's not about something being "wrong" with you but rather about understanding and managing these traits. I explore the subtleties of high sensitivity, starting from the deeply rooted aversion to violence and cruelty, to the emotional exhaustion that can arise from absorbing others' feelings. Each identified trait, such as experiencing time pressure as overwhelming or being easily startled by sudden loud noises, serves to paint a fuller picture of what it means to navigate the world as a highly sensitive person. My goal is to empower listeners by reinforcing that they should not internalize negativity associated with these feelings; rather, recognizing them can lead to essential self-growth and awareness. #Anxiety #HighlySensitivePerson #HSP #EmotionalSensitivity #SensoryProcessingSensitivity #SelfCompassion #Mindfulness #Meditation #AnxietyPodcast #MentalWellness #InnerPeace #ElaineAaron #AnxietySupport #LivingWithAnxiety #HighlySensitive #EmpathLife #DeepFeelings #SensoryOverload #InnerWorldJourney #SensitiveAndStrong #UnderstandingHSP #HSPCommunity #EmotionalWellbeing #SelfCareForHSPs #MindfulLiving #PeaceWithin #OvercomingAnxiety #ResilienceBuilding #EmotionalValidation #AnxietyCoach #GinaRyan #TheAnxietyCoachesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

If you're a highly sensitive person going through a hard time, this might be the episode for you. Welcome to episode 300 of SelfKind - a podcast for Highly Sensitive People who are navigating what it means to be sensitive in a world that doesn't always feel like it's made for them.In this milestone 300th episode, I'm reflecting on the past year, which has been the hardest of my life.

Being on your own side through those challenges is life-changing. In this episode you'll hear why self-compassion and being on your own side is so important as a highly sensitive person and I also share with you a practical strategy for bringing more of this tool into your own life.

Quote: Highly sensitive people learned early in life to try to control the external world as a way to attempt to manage their inner one. -Sheryl Paul Chapters 0:26 Introduction to Sensitivity 2:22 Quotes on Sensitivity 6:12 The Nature of Highly Sensitive People 8:53 Identifying as Highly Sensitive 10:15 Emotional Exhaustion and Sensitivity 11:53 Traits of Highly Sensitive People 16:13 Navigating Change and Sensitivity 16:58 Closing Thoughts and Next Steps Summary In this episode, I delve into the experience of being a highly sensitive person (HSP) and how it can often be mistaken for anxiety. I discuss the unique traits of HSPs, who make up about 20% of the population and possess an ability to process stimulation deeply and feel emotions intensely. While being highly sensitive can provide exquisite advantages such as heightened empathy and an acute awareness of details that others might overlook, it also comes with challenges that can lead to feeling overwhelmed in everyday life. I explore the breadth of feelings and responses that accompany high sensitivity, emphasizing the dual nature of these traits. For instance, while heightened empathy can be considered a gift, it also means that HSPs might find themselves emotionally exhausted from absorbing the feelings of those around them. I share insights from notable experts on the topic, including Elaine Aron and Jen Graneman, to reinforce that sensitivity is not a weakness but a distinctive trait that warrants respect and understanding. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to reflect on how their sensitivities manifest and how they might identify as an HSP. #HighlySensitivePerson #HSP #Anxiety #EmotionalSensitivity #Overstimulation #Empathy #SelfCareForHSPs #ElaineAron #JenGraneman #InnerPeace #HighlySensitive #HSPCommunity #Empath #Introvert #Extrovert #EmotionalWellbeing #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfLove #Mindfulness #StressRelief #CopingStrategies #PersonalGrowthJourney #InnerStrength #Vulnerability #Authenticity #GentleParenting #SensitiveSoul #TheAnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #ListenNow Learn more about your ad choices.

Before A Course in Business Miracles was even an idea in my mind, I was self-employed as a business coach, didn’t know I was highly sensitive and was heading towards a dark night of the soul – and quick. Back in 2009, after six years of working in my own business I was burnt out, massively overwhelmed, exhausted, and overworked. I was questioning what I was even doing in business. But this is exactly what led me to my own business miracle and brought me to where I am today, working with HSPs in business and leadership who are all over the world (creating more impact and income with less effort because of their own business miracles that they have been creating as a result of the work they have been doing in the Highly Sensitive Leadership Training Programs). In this week’s episode, I begin with first defining what exactly a business miracle is, and then I share my own personal journey from burnout in 2009 to discovering I was highly sensitive, to then seeing the connection this had to my spiritual practice with A Course in Miracles. The deep insights I received through all this led to what is now the Highly Sensitive Leadership Training Program where I mentor Highly Sensitives in business and leadership. You’ll also hear two incredible stories from a couple of Business Miracles community members who have created profound business miracles of their own. Both of these stories contain powerful insights that demonstrate how business miracles are not only possible for you too, but are absolutely certain when you are willing to do the real work to shift your perception and do things differently. “If I’m meant to be successful as an HSP and business, then I need a shift in perception. Because the way that I’ve been going about this, through all of the trainings that I attended…programs I had enrolled in were all really designed for someone who’s not highly sensitive.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 2:10: What does it mean to be a business miracle 2:21: How did the Business Miracles company come about 5:59: What do HSPs need to succeed 7:20: How do Business Miracles clients create miracles 8:50: How to shift out of doubt about Business Miracles 12:40: Which skill do HSPs most need “This is what’s needed for us as HSPs to be able to succeed as someone who is self-employed and as someone who is committed to being a leader and sharing the unique perspective that we have as HSPs in service and support to others and their growth and their wellbeing.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather's book DIFFERENT: http://www.differentthebook.com/ Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com/ Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com/ Learn more about the Highly Sensitive Leadership Training Program: https://www.businessmiracles.com/highly-sensitive-leadership-training-program/ Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/210

In simple terms, it means that the more sensitive you are, the more your environment impacts you. As a highly sensitive person (HSP), you might notice that some people thrive in situations where you feel discombobulated. Conversely, when conditions feel right, you may experience more intense joy, connection, and growth than others. It's the idea that some people are more responsive to their environment—for better or worse. For HSPs, this heightened responsiveness is a defining trait linked to their depth of processing, shaping how they experience life. However, it's important to remember that not all HSPs are the same. Sensitivity is just one part of who we are, and how we respond to our environments can vary widely. https://youtu.be/GIIKRuy5TOw What is Differential Susceptibility? Differential susceptibility means that the more sensitive someone is, the more influence their environment has on them. We might think of it like a spectrum of responsiveness. On one end, some people are like sturdy structures, able to adapt to a wide range of conditions without much change. On the other hand, many HSPs are finely tuned instruments that process their environment in depth. This can allow them to thrive in supportive settings but may also make them more vulnerable in harsh ones. For many HSPs, this means they are deeply affected by their upbringing, current environment, and the people around them. In favourable conditions, they may flourish more intensely than others, finding creative flow, experiencing strong empathy, and having deep insights. In unfavourable conditions, they might struggle more than others, feeling overstimulated or drained, unable to utilise the and share the fruits of their high sensitivity. This heightened responsiveness isn't a weakness—it's a unique way of engaging with the world that comes with challenges and strengths. That said, again to reiterate, not all HSPs will respond the same way. Sensitivity interacts with other aspects of personality, life experiences, and individual differences. How Does Differential Susceptibility Shape Our Lives? Differential susceptibility shows up in tangible ways for many HSPs. Here's how it might play out, maybe you recognise your own experiences in these examples: Growing Up: The Impact of Early Environments Supportive Upbringing: If an HSP grows up in a nurturing environment—where their sensitivity is understood and valued—they are more likely to develop strong emotional intelligence, creativity, and resilience. Challenging Upbringing: If an HSP grows up in a less supportive environment—where their sensitivity was dismissed or criticised—they might have learned to hide their true self, leading to feelings of disconnection or self-doubt. For example, imagine an HSP who grew up in a chaotic and unpredictable household. If there is constant noise or tension, that person's nervous system is more likely to be dysregulated, overstimulated and seeking safety from unsafe sources. They may assume the "tiny adult" role, feeling responsible for trying to keep the environment 'in balance' by fawning, people pleasing, monitoring moods (over empathy). But if that same HSP had grown up in a calm, supportive home, they might have thrived, using their sensitivity to connect deeply with others and appreciate life's beauty. Adulthood: Creating Nurturing Environments Favourable Conditions: When HSPs are in environments that honour their sensitivity—like a peaceful home, a supportive workplace, or a close-knit community—they often bring incredible strengths. They may notice what others miss, create spaces of warmth and connection, and approach challenges creatively and empathetically. Unfavourable Conditions: In overwhelming or unsupportive environments—like a stressful job,

Are Social Cliques Secretly Draining Your Energy? Here's How to Find Inner Freedom

Have you ever found yourself in a relationship that started like a dream: intense, exciting, and deeply validating, only to slowly unravel into something confusing, painful, and even toxic? If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP), you may have noticed a pattern: You attract people who seem drawn to your empathy, your kindness, and your deep capacity for love... but over time, they leave you feeling drained, manipulated, or even questioning your own reality. Why does this happen? And more importantly, how can you break free from this cycle? In today's episode, we're diving into one of the most complex and painful dynamics out there: the attraction between highly sensitive people and narcissists. And I'm joined by a powerful guest Marla who has lived through this firsthand. She'll be sharing her deeply personal experience of being married to a narcissist, how she realized what was happening, and how she found the strength to walk away. We'll also explore why HSPs are particularly vulnerable to narcissistic relationships, the red flags to watch out for, and how to set boundaries that protect your peace without losing your beautiful sensitivity.

185  Every marriage needs a foundation of respect to thrive. Yet, in so many marriages, there's a lack of respect. Studies show that men, especially, feel its lack, which tends to take a big toll on the sense of love and connection in that relationship. Why is this so common? Well, for one, it does not always come naturally to be respectful. And, as women, we may sometimes shy away from giving our respect to our spouse because we have a misunderstanding of what it looks like when it comes to intimate relationships. Or we wait for them to be more loving first. So, in this episode, let's:Clear up the misconceptions about what respect looks likeClarify exactly what many women do that leads men to feeling disrespected (it can be less obvious than you may think)Discover why, if your partner is feeling disrespected, it is hurting your whole relationship and making it harder for you to feel loved, too Learn about why it matters so much to cultivate respect–especially if you are married to a man.And get 10 specific things to do and ways to communicate to build more mutual respect– and ultimately love– into your marriage.If you want to feel more loved, and even like a treasured queen, you want to start leading more respect into your relationship.

Visibility and vulnerability (V&V Energy) is a powerful skill for success as a highly sensitive in business and leadership, yet it can be a tricky one to master. On one hand, it’s direct connection to our HSP shadow of overprotection can have us running for the hills and avoiding it all together. On the other hand, we can make the mistake of sharing unprocessed stories as a way to vent, elicit sympathy, or give an excuse for not taking the actions we need to take to create what we say we want. Both lead to a lack of creating genuine connections – the heart of HSP business and leadership success. Yet, a trained HSP who turns to energy management first as a way to process their emotions and experiences can then embrace true V&V Energy and harness it as a way to create deep meaningful connections with those they are here to serve. In this episode, I share how I came to develop this teaching on Visibility and Vulnerability . I open up about how early into my journey of discovering that I was a highly sensitive person, I came to recognize that many of the women I was coaching were also highly sensitive. And through working with them, I saw a common pattern of these clients not being willing to be seen for their true selves. This pattern of avoidance led me to explore what was needed in order for HSPs to harness V&V Energy as a leadership skill that is so needed in the world right now. Listen in as I dive deeper into what it means to be in true V&V Energy as a trained HSP, and stay tuned until the end for some inquiry questions to help you put a core practice in place that will support you in developing this leadership skill for yourself. “Your ideal client is a version of you.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 3:25: What is visibility and vulnerability 4:57: Why are visibility and vulnerability important to highly sensitive people 6:01: When and how did the teaching on visibility and vulnerability develop 10:59: How to practice visibility and vulnerability energy 11:35: What does visibility and vulnerability look like as a core practice 15:14: Can an untrained highly sensitive person make good use of the visibility and vulnerability practice “We need to consciously cultivate a sense of self created safety in being willing to be seen for who we really are.

Ever find yourself apologizing just for having feelings? Congrats, you're officially emotionally constipated—yes, that's a thing. It happens when you stuff your emotions deep down until they burst out at the worst possible moment (hello anxiety, meet embarrassment). This delightful cycle is extra fun if you're an HSP, by the way. Here's an idea: stop shoving your sensitivity into a corner like it's misbehaving. Feelings need regular release, or they'll make your life awkward real fast. You're allowed to let it out—no apologies needed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
