Did you struggle to fit in as a sensitive kid or are parenting an HSP child? In this episode, I talk with Sarita Fichtner about embracing your sensitivity and building resilience in children through connection as well as:  

• Learning to live on your own terms and listen to your instincts  

• Modeling acceptance and building resilience for your sensitive child 

• The kinds of social pressures highly sensitive children face 

• How parents can foster self-love and acceptance in their HSP kids who may not always fit in  

• Accepting the balance between the messy and magic of life  

Born and raised on the West Coast of Canada, Sarita is a highly sensitive children's book author and mom.  She recognizes the importance of emotional wellness and is passionate about supporting highly sensitive children.  Sarita believes the world will change when we can mindfully embrace who we are from a young age.
