Honoring Your Healing as a Highly Sensitive Person with Kylee Nelson


Listen Later

In the society we live in, sometimes being a  “highly sensitive person” can have a negative connotation. They’re ridiculed.  They’re told that being sensitive is a bad thing.  They’re shamed out of fully embracing their gift of being able to connect to the energies around them.   Although highly sensitive people have the beautiful ability to be more intuitive and emotional by nature, this energetic strength can also sometimes lead to overstimulation and stress if not properly managed.  In this episode, Kylee Nelson joins The Conscious Leadership Podcast to discuss how awareness and a dose of prevention can mean the difference between overwhelm and peace.

In this episode, Kylee and Gabby dive into the changes highly sensitive people can make to invite more calm into their lives.  They discuss how mindful adjustments to even the smallest aspects of your “day-to-day” can make a huge difference in healing and cultivating the life you desire to live.  Not sure if you’re a highly sensitive person?  During their conversation, Kylee references Dr. Elaine Aron and the psychologist’s research surrounding the four elements of being a highly sensitive person which helps each of us determine if we, too, resonate with being a highly sensitive individual.

It can be challenging (especially as a parent) to find the time to rest, recharge, and find balance. The methods discussed in this week’s episode may help others make the space to care for themselves and to create a life that honors their sensitivity.
