Have you ever held back your emotions to avoid making someone else uncomfortable? Or worried that being honest about how you feel would make you seem dramatic or too much?

In this episode, I'm unpacking one of the biggest reasons highly sensitive introverts struggle to express their emotions: you’ve been taught that your feelings are a burden. I’ll walk you through where that belief often comes from, how it quietly leads to resentment and burnout, and what you can do to gently shift the pattern.

If you’re tired of bottling things up and want to start honoring your emotions without fear or guilt, this one’s for you. I’ll also leave you with a powerful journal prompt to help you rewrite the story you’ve been carrying about your emotions.
