331: Too Sensitive to Succeed in Business? Why Sensitivity Is Actually Your Superpower with Erica Webb


Listen Later

So many women business owners believe that their sensitivity and emotions hold them back in business. That our empathy and passion must be muted in order to succeed.

In this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast I sat down with counsellor and founder of the Self-Kind Hub, Erica Webb, to talk about being a highly sensitive entrepreneur — and why it's actually a superpower for your business success.

Being a highly sensitive person (or HSP) means you might feel rejection heavier, feedback sticks longer, and being visible online can leave you drained. You pick up on others emotions and feel tuned-in on other's experiences.

But what if that sensitivity is actually the opposite of a weakness? What if it's actually one of the greatest advantages you can have as a business owner?

Here's What You'll Learn in the Episode:

  • Discover how Highly Sensitive People think and act – and if you might actually be a highly sensitive entrepreneur.
  • How to handle rejection, self-promotion, and visibility without letting them crush your confidence.
  • Why your tendency to "feel everything" could make you the best person to deeply understand your clients.
  • The exact ways sensitivity can hurt your business if ignored… and how to flip it into one of your greatest strengths.
  • Practical boundaries and daily rituals Erica uses to stay centred and focused (that you can borrow today!)
  • Why embracing your sensitivity leads to more authentic leadership, stronger client connections, and sustainable growth.
