11: Emerging Into Your True Self as a Sensitive Person


Listen Later

Have you put yourself aside for years? In this episode, I talk with Jen Berlingo, LPC, ATR about tuning back into your inner calling and…

• Emerging in midlife and unmasking to be your full self again

• Looking inward to identify what needs to change

• Navigating big life changes and taking one small step forward at a time

• Turning your ear back inward to listen to your inner yearnings and reclaiming your true nature

• Assessing whether your lifestyle supports your sensitive nervous system

• Learning to assert your preferences in a world that’s not built for HSPs

• Stop abandoning yourself and people pleasing to make others comfortable 

Jen (she/her) is a midlife coach, a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Nationally Registered Art Therapist, and a master-level Reiki practitioner. After two decades of midwifing hundreds of women through life’s major transitions and experiencing her own passage through a fiery midlife portal where she more fully stepped into her queer identity, she was inspired to write Midlife Emergence to accompany other women in traversing their midlife journeys. Upon its publication, Midlife Emergence reached #1 in several Amazon categories, including midlife management, divorce, LGBTQ+ memoirs, LGBTQ+ parenting and families, adulthood and aging, and self-help. Jen is also a visual artist who not only created the painting on the cover of her book, but also makes custom pieces for collectors worldwide and exhibits her fluid, abstract art locally in her beloved town of Boulder, Colorado.
