Have you ever heard of something called hypersensitivity, high sensitivity and an HSP?

It refers to a certain way how the brain works and how people experience the world, but - as there is still not a lot of knowledge about it - many HSPs probably don't even know that they have it.

Esther Bergsma - and myself as well - are HSP. Highly sensitive people. And we also didn't know it for the largest part of our lives.

In this episode, we are talking about what hypersensitivity is, what it feels like to be a highly sensitive person and why we sometimes feel like the world is really not made for people like us.

Summary of Esther's international research on HSP at work places in English:

Her English book The Brain of the Highly Sensitive Person can be ordered via Amazon and as an ebook on her own website.

In this blog post you can find more information on the highly sensitive brain: https://hoogsensitief.nl/the-highly-sensitive-brain/

Based on scientific insights, Esther Bergsma developed a model that offers tools to professionals in healthcare, education and to therapists and coaches who want to learn more about high sensitivity. Her goal: that everyone – and especially the highly sensitive person – has a better understanding and appreciation for this quality. High sensitivity offers unprecedented talents that only become apparent when we understand high sensitivity and create the optimal environment for HSP’s.

How often have you used your smartphone or any other mobile device today already? Minutes, hours? Do you even know? When was the last time you were completely offline and disconnected from the digital world?

Exactly … to be honest, I cannot remember either. So, maybe it is time to take a break?

This is exactly what the offline club wants to achieve.

The world of martial arts is not very welcoming for women. It can be very intimidating to go to a place full of men who punch each other. This is why, girls or women often shy away from this category of sports. Which is very unfortunate, because boxing, kickboxing or any kind of martial art can be fun, empowering and a great workout for your body and mind.

Safe spaces for women to practice martial arts are rare. But now, there is Knockout Ladies in The Hague.

Remember what it was like for you when you came to the Netherlands? When you had to get settled and needed to find a job? For some of us it is rather easy, for others it is really hard. For migrants who are not familiar with the Dutch or any European labour market there are many challenges to face. Often they apply and apply but only receive rejections without knowing the reason.

Today's episode is going to touch on a topic that affects us all at some point in our lives – grief and loss. But even though it is omnipresent in all of our lives, we rarely talk about it. Death is something that scares us, that we rather do not talk about. My guest for today Carin Hafkamp, has chosen to become a grief and loss coach to guide and support individuals through this challenging process. To remind some that in all the darkness there can also be light again.

In a conflict, in a war or in a crisis it is oftentimes those who are innocent who suffer the most. But the ones that are the most innocent are often overlooked and forgotten. Wars, conflicts and natural disasters affect animals as much as they affect human beings. But they have even less of a chance to fend for themselves or verbalize their pain or demand their needs to be catered to.

Luckily, there are people like Esther Kef and her organization animal heroes, that make sure that the animals of this world are not forgotten.
