On this episode of The New Mama Mentor Pod, I am chatting with Melissa Schwartz about how to be a parent that identifies as a Highly Sensitive Person. We dive into the 4 core traits of a highly sensitive person, how to ask for help, and ways to cope with your intense emotions. Melissa Schwartz was born an intense, sensitive, empathic, power seeker. She is a respected expert in the field of Highly Sensitive Children and brings clarity, personal experience and compassion for parents raising HSCs. Her intuitive ability to decode misbehavior and her passion for giving a voice to the legitimate needs of children naturally evolved into becoming the co-creator of Leading Edge Parenting, co-author of Authentic Parenting Power, co-author of Rico's Bumpy Week. She is an internationally acclaimed author, coach and public speaker bringing new perspective based on current research and personal experience to transform the field of child development. Melissa is a Stanford University alumna and a graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. She lives with her family in Southern California and coaches parents around the world.  Resources mentioned in the episode: https://leadingedgeparenting.com https://hsperson.com https://www.audible.com/pd/Quiet-Audiobook/B006TIKUN4?qid=1648186356&sr=1-1&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=1ZGPQGWA3H5J4F59VQAC (Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking) Thank you for taking time from your busy day to be here with me another week! Here is my favorite quote from this interview:  "If you take the full spectrum of crayons and you color with it, it's going to look brown. Well that's what I call anger. It's usually a handful of emotions that we are coloring the world with." I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

TITLE I Always Knew I Was Different with Melissa Schwartz   GUEST Melissa Schwartz   EPISODE OVERVIEW Melissa created the Sensitivity Summit--a free online summit for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs).  She shares some of what she learned while recording the interviews for the summit.  Melissa provides some tangible tools she uses so she doesn’t absorb others’ energy. She also talks about learning to regulate her emotions, and  we talk about how sensitivity can look different in people.   HIGHLIGHTS Melissa is creating a Sensitivity Summit, with over 30 experts on Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) on topics like adults, children, relationships with non-HSPs, and even wounding This event brings together a variety of experts and will provide great insight for HSPs, or those raising or living with an HSP Melissa always knew something was different about her, but she didn’t realize she was Highly Sensitive at first She realized she was a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) about 5 years ago She always thought and was told, that she was too reactive, too emotional, too intense, and too sensitive 70% of HSPs are introverts, and 30% are extroverts. Melissa identifies as an extrovert We discuss trauma, with a capital T and trauma with a lower case t and how they are different Some Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), hold on to trauma because they don’t know how to process it Self-compassion is critical Melissa was born Highly Sensitive; according to her mother, she came out crying, colicky, and had her days and nights confused Instead of Highly Sensitive, Melissa prefers to call herself “deeply attuned” Melissa works on regulating her emotions. She’s a spiritual seeker who looks for deeper meaning in life She found the work of Esther Hicks in her 20s, and learned more about what emotions mean; the intensity/scale of our emotions, and healthy ways to experience our emotions Melissa doesn’t quite think Sensitivity is a superpower. When she was younger, she felt that people who were Non-HSPs had a superpower Now, Melissa believes that her empathic/intuitive abilities are her superpower. She can feel the emotional experience of others, and it helps her in her work Melissa uses mediation and visualization tools to help her We discuss her “loving armor,” and how to keep yourself from absorbing other’s energy when you are empathic Some tools to help when you’re feeling overwhelmed include Going to the bathroom and splashing water on your face Taking cleansing breaths, and releasing that energy Visualizing yourself in a bubble of white energy or wearing a suit of armor to protect you If you can’t stop the emotional absorption, it’s okay to leave a situation, or bring your our own car so you can leave when you’re ready It’s all about self-care. Taking your own car is self-care, bringing snacks is self-care Melissa was told her reactions were too big, or her reactions were inappropriate and it was very hurtful to her Sensitivity doesn’t look the same for everyone. It can show up in all different ways The Sensitivity Summit takes place on September 16th, and you can go to the SensitivitySummit.com to join in!   QUOTES “I always knew something was different about me.” “It was very overwhelming in my early years to tap into how other people were feeling, and then kind of be drowning in that experience.” “I’ll visualize myself in a bubble of white, crystalline energy.” “I take my own car places. I like to leave when I’ve had enough. I like to have my own out.” “When we’re able to have self-compassion, and be in the moment, and learn to lean into what’s going on, that ultimately leads into a sense of contentment.” “Especially when we’re talking about emotional regulation and energetic balance, it’s not something that we achieve and stay there forever, it’s something we achieve for a little bit of time, but it’s even fluctuating.” “People say, oh you’re more sensitive or super sensitive. No, I’m Highly Sensitive. It’s not too much, it’s more than it is for you, but it’s just right for me.”   GUEST BIO Melissa Schwartz was born an intense, sensitive, empathic, power seeker. Her intuitive ability to decode misbehavior and her passion for giving a voice to the legitimate needs of children naturally evolved into becoming the co-creator of Leading Edge Parenting, co-author of "Authentic Parenting Power" and author of forthcoming "Under the Hood: A Manual to Understand the Inner Workings of Children". She is an internationally acclaimed author, coach and public speaker bringing new perspective based on current research and personal experience to transform the field of high sensitivity.   PODCAST HOST Patricia Young works with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) helping them in understanding their HSP traits, and turning their perceived shortcomings into superpowers.

Does your child sometimes feel like a ticking time bomb? Ready to explode at any moment?  That's how it was for me with my oldest daughter. It seemed like almost everything caused her some kind of distress. She was SO attuned to my moods; we had to cut out all of the tags in her clothes; and if she missed a nap? Forget it, we were doomed. There was SO much to learn. There were so many skills I didn't have! I later realized that Maggie is a Highly Sensitive Child. And I realized that someone else was Highly Sensitive too (can you guess who that is?).  On this episode, I talk to Melissa Schwartz, expert on Highly Sensitive Children and how to take care of them.  What is your takeaway?

"Some highly sensitive children are fairly difficult–active, emotionally intense, demanding, and persistent–while others are calm, turned inward, and almost too easy to raise except when they are expected to join a group of children they do not know. But outspoken and fussy or reserved and obedient, all HSCs are sensitive to their emotional and physical environment” -Dr. Elaine Aron. If you are a parent of an HSC, or you were an HSC, you are well aware of the gifts and challenges associated with the trait of sensitivity. On this episode of HSP SOS, Michelle and The Captain talk with fellow HSP Melissa Schwartz. Melissa is a coach for parents of highly sensitive children, author, speaker, and co-creator of Leading Edge Parenting, not to mention just an enthusiastic advocate for HSPs internationally.

Melissa is co-founder of Leading Edge Parenting and co-author of the book Authentic Parenting Power. In this interview she discusses indigo children and how parents can help their offspring thrive by understanding their "cosmic design."

This Saturday, March 12th; we will have the lovely Melissa Schwartz and her mother, Sandi Schwartz, both of the website www.LeadingEdgeParenting.com. Sandi was an expert in child development who thought she was well-prepared to be a parent. Her first child was easygoing and a dream to raise. When Melissa arrived, however, with her intensity, sensitivity, and power-seeking soul, both mother and daughter had to re-align and re-configure. Melissa and Sandi will share the journey that turned Leading Edge Parenting into more than a website and a practice that assisted parents; it became an entity that allowed even challenging children to find their voice and claim it.
