03: Being Good Enough as a Highly Sensitive Person


Listen Later

What’s possible when you value your sensitive gifts and come out of the margins of your own life?  In this episode, I talk with HSP Mentor Alissa Boyer about finding your worth as an HSP and:

• Navigating big life changes as an HSP such as moving, changing careers, becoming a parent, and navigating relationships.

• Learning to quiet perfectionism to make more room for what’s calling you. 

• How to have better boundaries at work and with yourself.

• Sitting with the short-term discomfort of setting boundaries and speaking your needs in service of creating a more fulfilling life, finding your purpose. 

• Doing your best with what you have available, knowing that you’re good enough just as you are. 

• Raising your self-worth and believing in yourself and your needs as a highly sensitive person. 

Alissa is a Mentor for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) with a passion for helping fellow HSPs learn how to unapologetically embrace their sensitivity and use it as a strength in their lives. She’s the creator of several online programs including The Sensitive & Soulful Vault and Sensitive & Soulful Self-Worth. Alissa also offers business mentorship to HSPs and hosts a podcast called The Sensitive & Soulful Show.
