Highly Sensitive and Strong

Join hosts Daphnie and Tonya on the HSP Wellness Warriors podcast as they dive deep into the fascinating world of highly sensitive people (HSPs). In this episode, they explore the topic of happiness and examine whether it's more challenging for HSPs to experience genuine happiness on an emotional level, excluding external influences like relationships.

But what about the internal landscape of happiness? Daphnie and Tonya discuss how HSPs' introspective nature can be both a blessing and a challenge when it comes to happiness. On one hand, their deep introspection allows them to align their lives with core values and pursue activities that bring them joy. On the other hand, overthinking and self-criticism can hinder their happiness, leading to dwelling on negative experiences and being overly self-conscious.

Join them as they share practical strategies for HSPs to cultivate happiness, including practicing self-compassion, challenging negative thoughts, and engaging in mindfulness practices.

In the episode Tonya and Daphnie conclude their series on the yamas, ethical guidelines from the 8 limbs of yoga. They explore the principles of Brahmacharya, emphasizing abstinence, moderation, and responsible energy management, particularly relevant for highly sensitive people. They discuss setting boundaries, practicing self-discipline, and prioritizing self-care. They also delve into Aparigraha, focusing on non-attachment and the challenges HSPs face in letting go. They offer practical tips for decluttering physical and mental spaces, practicing mindfulness, and cultivating self-compassion.

The episode encourages HSPs to embrace these practices in their daily lives, finding balance, freedom, and contentment in the present moment.

In this episode, Daphnie and Tonya explore the concept of Asteya, which translates to "non-stealing" in Sanskrit, and its significance for highly sensitive people. They delve into how Asteya goes beyond the act of not stealing material possessions and encompasses honoring one's worth, setting boundaries, and practicing self-care. Through personal insights and practical tips, they discuss how cultivating Asteya can empower HSPs to recognize their inherent value, protect their energy, and contribute authentically to the world.

Join Daphnie and Tonya as they guide HSPs on a journey of self-discovery and self-empowerment in this insightful episode!

This week we continue our exploration of the yamas and dive deeper into the importance of Satya, the practice of truthfulness, for us as highly sensitive people. Satya calls for honesty in our thoughts, words, and actions, and encourages us to drop the masks we often use to hide our true selves.  We share how we practice Satya in our lives and we offer practical tips for using it in everyday life.

Embracing Satya can help  us gain greater self-awareness, self-confidence, and strengthen our relationships. We’re excited to share this episode with you!🥰

In this episode we explore the power of non-harming, or Ahimsa, for HSPs. As highly sensitive people, we have a natural capacity for empathy and compassion, but this sensitivity can also leave us feeling overwhelmed, drained, or disconnected from our own needs and well-being.

Whether you're new to the concept of ahimsa or a seasoned yoga practitioner, we hope you'll find inspiration and guidance in today's episode. Sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the power of non-harming for HSP wellness warriors and how it can help us navigate the unique challenges of being an HSP. 

In this episode, we will be exploring an intro to the 8 limbs of yoga and how they can help us as highly sensitive people find balance and inner peace amidst the chaos of daily life. As HSPs ourselves, we know how overwhelming the world can be, and we're excited to be back and sharing with you the powerful tools and practices that have helped us thrive. So whether you're a seasoned yogi or new to the practice, this episode is for you- find a cozy spot, and let's dive in!

About Tonya

Greetings Friends, I'm Tonya, the founder of Sensitivity Rising, host of the Highly Sensitive Healing Podcast and a Certified Professional Holistic Wellness Guide. As an HSP, I understand firsthand the challenges of navigating life in our modern world while embracing our sensitivity. For a long time, I struggled to find a balance between seeing my trait as a burden or a gift. Through my personal journey, I've come to realize that a healthy mind, body, spirit, and relationships all stem from finding that balance between the two. As an HSP, seeking balance is a daily action that we must constantly work towards. However, by having the right tools to work towards balance in ways that work best for us, the work becomes a joy and not a burden. I've found that embracing yoga, holistic living, and the healing introspection of self-discovery have significantly improved my self-worth, relationships, and perspective of the world. I believe that living as a sensitive person does not have to be painful or isolating. Instead, we must learn how to nurture ourselves in ways that are unique to us. I'm excited to being this new journey of self-discovery, as we explore what wellness means to us as highly sensitive individuals. Let's embrace our sensitivity, find our balance, and live our best highly sensitive lives!

About Daphnie

Hello friends, I'm Daphne Leigh, aka Yogi Ranger. I am the founder of the freedom from anxiety program and the Highly Sensitive and Strong Facebook community. I've been teaching yoga mindfulness and meditation since 1995. And I'm also a clinical health coach, and an Ayurvedic lifestyle coach who specializes in helping highly sensitive people reduce stress and anxiety, so they can have the energy and focus to do the things that are most important to them in life. After being hospitalized for panic and anxiety disorder as a teenager, I became intensely curious about why I had anxiety in the first place, and how I could learn to worry less and be more present and connected with my family and friends. I also wanted to learn to be healthier, while experiencing more peace and calm in my body and mind. Through my studies, I discovered I was a highly sensitive person. And once I learned to care for my sensitive nervous system, I became passionate about helping other highly sensitive people do the same. I believe that highly sensitive people are some of the strongest people I know. We all have important gifts to share with the world. And life is too precious to waste our time being stuck in cycles of overwhelm that can be avoided. Once we know how to care for our own unique selves.
