It's ok to be Human: Finding Humor and Acceptance in Imperfection

How do you create a balance between embarrassment and humor, and learning how to be open and honest about your humanity, your body, and your experiences? How can you recognize when dominant groups are trying to make you feel inadequate for how you show up in the world? How can you learn from your experiences and foster a growth mindset instead of a fixed one? Embracing our imperfections can be a way to accept and honor our humanity. We discuss how cancel culture can lead to us canceling ourselves.

PODCAST HOST

Patricia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Coach.  She knows what it’s like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other HSPs know that they aren’t alone, and that being an HSP has amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for HSPs that focus on understanding what it means to be an HSP, self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors us
