Podcasts about Sensitivity

Do you view being highly sensitive as a negative? In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth Cush welcomes back Keri Nola—matriarch of the Receptivity Portal for Healing Entrepreneurs—to talk about her journey from struggling with sensitivity to embracing it as a gift. “I used to really curse my sensitivity. It felt like such a negative thing, because it made navigating the world so hard.” — Keri Nola For so many women, being highly sensitive can feel like a burden, like a barrier to navigating the world. It doesn't have to be. We don't have to be at odds with our environment or the situations around us. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC,  a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a mid-life women's life coach, welcomes back Keri Nola, best-selling author, coach, podcaster and founder of the Receptivity Portal for Healing Entrepreneurs for a conversation about being a highly sensitive person (HSP) in a “Go, Go, Go!” world. They reflect on how they experienced their sensitivity as they were growing up and came to recognize it for what it is, they share tips for how they avoid anxiety and overwhelm, and talk about all the positives they now associate with being highly sensitive.

In this episode of The AnxietyRX Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Nick Holton and Dr. Adam Wright as we explore the powerful connection between trauma, resilience, and well-being. I dive into why I believe the traditional medical focus on medication isn't enough and why a holistic approach, including spiritual healing, is so important. Dr. Holton shares his thoughts on how having a clear sense of purpose and value-based goals can help us unlock our full potential. Dr. Wright offers insights from sports psychology, explaining how controlled exposure to stress is key to building resilience. We wrap up by discussing the concept of "anti-fragility" — how, with the right support, we can actually thrive through adversity.

How can understanding astrology support us in riding these times?    This episode brings forth a powerful way of hearing, feeling and seeing the art that astrology is. A deeply misunderstood sacred practice that Amanda is enormously passionate about. As a consulting astrologer, acutonics practitioner and artist, currently studying an MA in Art and Ecology at Goldsmiths University, Amanda anandita Simon brings the poetics of this practice out of the astrological arena into spaces where it can offer and be recognised for its contribution to join other acts of resistance. “To re-member a living relation with an ensouled cosmos, to restore and restore our dreaming heart and cultivate sensibility to subtlety - the intricacy and specificity present in each thread of our lived life.” Amanda shares.  Together we explore:     :: How to cultivate a bodily awareness that allows us to deeply touch and be touched by the world around us   :: What it means to return to the city after countryside life and how to prevent being overwhelmed by its intensity   :: What Pluto's recent transition from the Earth-based Capricorn to the Air-focused Aquarius signifies for us   :: How to understand astrology as an art and sacred practice      We hope that you enjoy this episode and that something here really lands for you.    Links from this episode and more at allthatweare.org

Here's to not tolerating mistreatment, and how to begin the process of influencing your partner to treat you best! As modern women, we've been encouraged to not let ourselves be “doormats” in our relationship with our significant other. And we want to be strong, to not tolerate criticism or unkind treatment, and to stand up for the respect we deserve. All of which is so important to have a healthy loving marriage, especially as a sensitive person.But sometimes we do this in a way that actually makes us feel even more walked all over, more like a doormat--and in more pain than ever. So how do we stop being a doormat for REAL? Listen in to find out how.Hint: it has to do with understanding what we can control and what we cannot ...and then learning how to control what we ourselves have dominion over--which is our own selves….and becoming Un-walk-over-able!Even if your partner is sometimes unkind, uncool, and disrespectful, you can put an end to feeling like a doormat-- without FIGHTING, and with dignity, self-containment, confidence, and rooted in love for all involved.In this episode I break down the specifics of what this entails and get you started on the path to feeling strong, empowered, respected, and being treated with the kindness, care, and love you deserve.SHOW NOTES:Check out The Stop Taking It So Personally Course, a self-paced course to feel more love and less hurt -- and help you be best positioned to effectively advocate for the loving care you want from your spouse.

Did you know that food sensitivities can silently contribute to systemic inflammation, gut issues, and even osteoporosis? In this episode, I speak with Margaret Floyd Barry, a functional nutritionist and expert in digestive health, to uncover the critical role of gut health in maintaining strong bones. Often overlooked, food sensitivities—especially to gluten—can damage the gut lining, lead to malabsorption of nutrients, and increase inflammation, all of which negatively impact bone health. Margaret explains why conventional medicine often misses food sensitivities and how integrative testing can uncover the root causes of gut dysfunction. Discover how removing triggers like gluten and supporting the gut with targeted strategies can lead to better digestion, reduced inflammation, and improved bone strength. Ready to dig deeper into your gut health and strengthen your bones? Tune in to this powerful episode and learn how addressing food sensitivities can transform your health from the inside out.   “For any client I work with, I am starting with gut health and food sensitivities as a starting point, regardless of the clinical presentation overall, because these two pieces are absolutely foundational to healing.” ~ Margaret Floyd Barry   In this episode: - [01:45] - Food allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities: understanding the differences - [07:19] - Food sensitivities as a hidden cause of inflammation and bone loss - [07:45] - Why traditional tests miss key food sensitivities - [13:47] - Health transformations after eliminating gluten - [19:24] - Specific tests to identify food sensitivities - [39:23] - How and where to get the necessary tests  - [40:45] - Five steps to healing the gut and boosting immunity - [47:00] - Benefits of working with a practitioner to uncover sensitivities - [53:06] - Details about the practitioner training program - [58:15] - How to get in touch with Margaret   Resources mentioned - Margie's Holiday Gift Guide - https://margiebissinger.com/margies-favorites/ - Purity Woods' Age-Defying Dream Cream Black Friday Sale -  https://store.puritywoods.com/dream-cream/?orid=142271&opid=1&sid=nov24sp - Information on Practitioner Training Program - restorativewellnesssolutions.com  - Margaret's Website - margaretfloydbarry.com  - Margarets Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margaretfloydbarry/   More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/  - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/  - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en    DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Special Guest: Shannon O'Hara Haider's free workbook at https://soulful-awakening.com/free In this boundary-pushing episode of The Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Shannon O'Hara, Access Consciousness teacher and creator of the controversial Talk to the Entities program. Shannon opens up about her extraordinary journey from battling depression to embracing her ability to perceive entities—spirits and energies most people can't see. The Gift of Seeing the Unseen Shannon reveals how tools from Access Consciousness, guided by her stepdad Gary Douglas, helped her escape the suffocating weight of depression. By acknowledging her sensitivity to entities rather than suppressing it, she transformed what many see as a "curse" into a profound gift for self-discovery and healing. She challenges conventional thinking: What if the things you fear most about yourself are your greatest superpowers? Breaking Through Limiting Beliefs This episode doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable truths about judgment, fear, and societal taboos surrounding entities. Shannon explains how rejecting judgment—especially of yourself—unlocks deeper intimacy, freedom, and abundance. She offers actionable insights for: Embracing vulnerability as a superpower, not a weakness. Breaking free from autopilot and stepping into self-responsibility. Reframing sensitivity as strength, especially in a world that fears the unseen. Shifting Scarcity Into Abundance We explore how scarcity, whether in money, relationships, or self-worth, is rooted in judgment and fear. Shannon shares how stepping into infinite potential transforms your ability to receive abundance in every area of life. Key Takeaways to Challenge Your Reality: Entities are not the enemy: Awareness of unseen energies can unlock personal and spiritual growth. Sensitivity is your edge: What makes you "different" could be the key to your greatest breakthroughs. Intimacy begins within: Honor, allowance, vulnerability, trust, and gratitude are essential for deeper self-connection. Abundance is a choice: Shift from scarcity to infinite possibility by recognizing your inherent value. A Must-Listen for the Brave If you've ever felt held back by fear, judgment, or the need to fit in, Shannon's insights will push you to rethink what's possible. Whether you believe in entities or not, this episode is about embracing your uniqueness, breaking through limitations, and stepping into the life you were meant to live. Are you ready to challenge your beliefs and explore consciousness on a whole new level? This episode will take you there—and maybe even beyond.    

In this episode, we explore the crucial role of hearing God's voice in evangelism, drawing from the story of Philip in Acts 8:29. We'll learn how to discern when and where God is directing us to share the Gospel, ensuring our efforts are led by His Spirit and timing.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Acts 8:29: "The Spirit told Philip, 'Go to that chariot and stay near it.'" This passage exemplifies how the Holy Spirit directs our steps in evangelism, guiding us to those divine appointments where our witness will be most effective.Listening for God's guidance is foundational in evangelism. Just as Philip was led by the Spirit to a strategic opportunity, we too can experience God's direction as we seek to share His message of salvation.The Role of God's Voice in Evangelism:* Identifying Divine Appointments: Learn to recognize when God is orchestrating opportunities to share the Gospel, which often come in unexpected forms and settings.* Sensitivity to the Spirit's Prompting: Cultivate a sensitivity to the Holy Spirit's nudges, which can guide us to or away from conversations based on His perfect knowledge of the hearts involved.Discerning Moments to Speak About Faith:* Prayerful Readiness: Begin each day with prayer, asking God to highlight opportunities and prepare you to speak boldly and lovingly.* Recognizing Open Doors: Look for signs of openness in others, such as questions about faith or comments on spiritual matters, which can serve as natural gateways to deeper discussions.* Respecting Boundaries: While being ready to share, it's also important to discern when someone is not open to discussion, respecting their boundaries while continuing to pray for another opportunity.Tips for Staying Spiritually Attuned in Evangelism:* Continuous Prayer: Maintain an ongoing dialogue with God throughout your day, not just in moments of active evangelism but as a constant practice.* Scriptural Anchoring: Regularly immerse yourself in Scripture, which not only equips you with the right words but also tunes your heart to the frequency of God's voice.* Fellowship with Believers: Engage with other Christians to share experiences and insights, which can enhance your ability to hear and understand God's guidance.ConclusionHearing God's voice is not just about finding the right words to say; it's about being in the right place, at the right time, with the right heart. As we align ourselves with the Holy Spirit's direction, our efforts in evangelism become not just our own, but a part of God's greater plan to draw all people to Himself.A Question of the Day: Can you recall a time when you felt specifically led by the Holy Spirit to share the Gospel? What was the outcome?Growth Challenge: This week, challenge yourself to be especially attentive to the Holy Spirit's promptings. Note any moments when you feel a nudge to speak or act, and journal the details and outcomes of these divine appointments.Let's Pray: Father, thank You for the privilege of partnering with You in sharing the Gospel. Help us to be attentive to Your voice, guiding us to those who need to hear Your words of life. May our steps be ordered by Your Spirit, and our words filled with Your wisdom and love. Amen.As we go out into the world, let's keep our spiritual ears open and our hearts ready to respond to God's guiding whispers.

The Lord points out today the importance of the Holy Spirit in the gospel of the mass. Sensitivity and openness to Him and His inspirations are essential elements in preparing for the Lord's coming. Look at what happened during the first coming. No one came to see the newborn Baby, except those simple shepherds and wise men from the East. Will this be the same during the second coming? We need to deal with the Holy Spirit to be prepared adequately for the Lord's second coming.

Send us a textFor many, anxiety is all about being vulnerable to the possibility of rejection. It's normal for our brain to seek out what we fear and notice dangerous possibilities. But those with bad experiences may have been primed from an early age to expect rejection by default.Because of this, their brain is going to start perceiving rejection everywhere.Support the show Social Media Links Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/richardn.bsky.social Threads https://www.threads.net/@richardnichollsreal Instagram https://www.instagram.com/richardnichollsreal Facebook https://www.facebook.com/RichardNichollsAuthor Youtube https://www.youtube.com/richardnicholls TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@richardnichollsauthor Twitter https://twitter.com/richardnicholls

Have you ever wondered how spirituality and creativity are related? This week, we welcome Rabbi Alon C. Ferency, the Eclectic Cleric who guides us through a whimsical exploration of this fusion. Starting with a beard joke and a tale of divine luck at a blackjack table, Rabbi Alan takes us on his personal journey from the pulpit to the podcast. We explore his reflections on missing the community connections of his past life but celebrate the new creative freedoms he's found in the digital age. Together, we'll touch on the ever-entertaining portrayal of rabbis in a recent Netflix rom-com, Nobody Wants This.As we meander through the world of art, spirituality, and societal expectations, Rabbi Alon shares how many artists struggle against misconceptions that undervalue their work. We discuss the importance of rekindling the uninhibited joy from childhood creativity—a time when art flows naturally and authentically. Through engaging anecdotes and examples from music and painting, we explore how reconnecting with our childlike wonder can unlock the truest expressions of our artistic selves. Adults, it seems, are often mere shadows of the vibrant, creative children they once were.Finally, we journey into the profound benefits of aligning your life's work with your soul's calling. Rabbi Alon shares stories of career transitions that focused on joy and core actions rather than titles or prestige. This exploration highlights how creativity can enhance well-being, combat loneliness, and excite our lives. We also acknowledge the sensitive souls among us—artists whose heightened perceptions can bring both inspiration and challenges. (00:12) Creativity and Spirituality With Rabbi Alan(07:15) Exploring Creativity and Spirituality(16:49) The Benefits of Creativity and Spirituality(24:40) The Artist's Journey and Challenges(36:19) Closing Remarks and RecommendationsSupport the showSupport the Playful Humans mission to help adults rediscover the power of play: Subscribe to the YouTube channel Subscribe to the Podcast Book a playshop for your team Support our sponsors

When we think about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), our minds often go straight to the difficulties it brings—the obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions that can disrupt daily life. But what if there's a side of OCD that's rarely discussed, one that offers unique strengths?   In this episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, Dr. Michael Alcée, a clinical psychologist and mental health educator at the Manhattan School of Music, helps us rethink our view of OCD. Through insights from his forthcoming book, The Upside of OCD, Dr. Alcée shares how the intense emotional sensitivity and vivid imagination often seen in individuals with OCD can be seen as valuable assets rather than limitations.   Together, Dr. Alcée and Kristina dive deep into the heart of OCD, exploring how understanding the emotional roots behind its symptoms can foster greater self-awareness and more compassionate self-care. Dr. Alcée discusses how setting healthy boundaries and embracing one's unique traits can lead to a more balanced, fulfilling life, shifting the focus from “disorder” to the richness of experience that OCD may offer.   Tune in to gain a compassionate new outlook on OCD, and if this resonates, don't forget to subscribe and share with others who might need a fresh perspective!

The upside is this wonderful kind of spark of emotional sensitivity and imaginative range.” - Dr. Michael Alcée [04:18] “Most people with OCD feel so much, but they don't have someone to help them mirror it back. By the time they catch up with it, it's already converted itself into all these terrible obsessions and compulsions.” - Dr. Michael Alcée [12:38] “People with OCD have a precocious existential sensitivity. They notice death way earlier, and it's almost like they never had the language to understand it. I want to highlight and celebrate that rich capacity to live.” - Dr. Michael Alcée [17:59] “When I realized I wasn't listening to my feelings, the obsession melted away.” - Dr. Michael Alcée [22:17] “People with OCD have an extremely enormous heart, but they don't always trust it and give it away too easily.” - Dr. Michael Alcée [27:06] “I want people with OCD to realize that they have poet souls.” - Dr. Michael Alcée Our Guest Dr. Michael Alcée is a clinical psychologist and mental health educator at the Manhattan School of Music in New York. Known for his innovative approach, he blends psychology with artistry, encouraging clients to see mental health as a creative process. His book Therapeutic Improvisation explores how therapists interact with clients like jazz musicians, and his upcoming work, The Upside of OCD, redefines OCD as a unique sensitivity. Dr. Alcée's insights have been featured in outlets like Psychology Today, NPR, and the New York Times, enriching our emotional and existential awareness understanding.

If you often feel that being a highly sensitive person is a handicap, listen to this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, as host Elizabeth Cush talks with Brooke Neilsen Yang about embracing your sensitivity and coming home to yourself. “We tend to have abandoned ourselves by the time we're adults.” — Brooke Neilsen Yang If you grew up feeling ashamed of your sensitivity, you're not alone. Chances are that you may have gotten signals from others, and maybe even those closes to you, that you were too sensitive, that you were overreacting, that what you were feeling wasn't real. Maybe you sensed that you were different, but didn't recognize that you were a highly sensitive person (HSP)—and that your sensitivity is a great trait. Instead, you may have felt embarrassed and tried to hide who you really were. After a lifetime of hiding, you might even have lost touch with your authentic self. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women's life coach, welcomes Brooke Neilsen Yang, a therapist and coach draws on her own healing journey to help others get past the invalidation and misunderstanding they may have experienced, to overcome the shame and to build trust in their sensitive selves.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Eighty percent of Americans believe words can hurt, but isn't that view a bit childish? While politicians react to simple jokes and sarcasm as if they're physical blows, it reflects our own societal immaturity. We can't expect leaders to grow up until we do. Perhaps it's time for Americans to put away such childish sensitivities.
