In this episode, Krista explores high sensitivity and how to recognize and honor your wiring as a highly sensitive person (HSP) in the middle season of life.

Key Topics:

Why HSPs often feel like life requires more effort than it seems to for others.

Common experiences of highly sensitive people that are rarely discussed openly.

The difference between feeling "wrong" and understanding your unique wiring.

How sensory sensitivities, environmental awareness, and emotional boundaries affect daily life.

Key Takeaways:

• If you're highly sensitive, doing life can feel hard and effortful—and that doesn't mean you're "wrong."
• You can learn to honor your wiring and it won't always feel so difficult.
• HSPs need non-negotiable rest, soothing strategies, and permission to "shut off" sometimes.
• Even decades into this work, old judgments can resurface—and that's okay, we're all just practicing.
