Do you worry you’re moving too slowly or not keeping up? In this solo episode I answer two listener questions: 

• Any suggestions on how to cope when my deep processing translates to working much slower than everyone else?

• How do we find balance and a sustainable routine when feeling deeply and overwhelmed by the daily hustle? 

April Snow, LMFT is a licensed psychotherapist and author in California. She specializes in working with highly sensitive people to help calm the storm of overwhelm, anxiety, and self-doubt to allow their innate sensitive strengths to shine through. Deeply committed to changing the narrative of what it means to be highly sensitive, April has created and led HSP workshops all over the country as well as online through her Sensitive School. In addition to Find Your Strength: A Workbook for the Highly Sensitive Person, she has written Mindfulness Workbook for Stress Relief and The Empowered Highly Sensitive Person's Self-Care Journal.
