Do you ever feel overwhelmed by your emotions or the world around you—and wonder if something’s wrong with you? You might be a highly sensitive person (HSP), and you’re not alone.

In this foundational episode, Daphnie breaks down the core traits of high sensitivity using the “DOES” model by Dr. Elaine Aron and offers personal reflections, nervous system insights, and validation for sensitive souls.

Whether you’re new to the HSP journey or ready to deepen your self-understanding, this episode is a grounding place to begin. You’ll also receive a gentle reflection practice to help you better understand what nourishes—or depletes—you.
