Today we have another incredibly insightful guest episode to share with you, where Robbie is in conversation with Katie Whittier.

Katie shares her story of being a high achiever, navigating a hectic lifestyle in a new city, with no support system or sleep, until she realised something had to change. Three years into her recovery she was diagnosed with autism, this revelation led her to realign her life to better support herself.

Listen along to hear how Katie's journey has unfolded, as she draws from her experiences and research, to help us understand brain function and healing, emphasising the importance of self-compassion.

Find out more about Katie below.

Info about Katie Whittier:

Katie Whittier helps high sensory individuals heal their anxiety, pain or self-doubt by training their nervous system so they can live with the ease and sovereignty they deserve. 

She began her career in politics, working on such high-profile campaigns as President Barack Obama’s 2008 race and U.S. Senator Patty Murray’s 2010 re-election. She went on to serve as a communications consultant for several high-visibility organizations until a major mental breakdown changed the course of her life.

Three years into her recovery, she was diagnosed with autism, and that’s when her healing journey began in earnest. She developed an intense interest in how the brain and nervous system work, and how neurological differences impact how we experience the world. To that end, she studied applied neurology and used its techniques to process her past traumas, de-weaponize her anxiety and develop the resilience necessary to live free from her old masks.

She now coaches others to carve their own healing path so they can leverage their highly sensitive brains to propel their lives toward the abundance and freedom they deserve.

This episode marks the middle of Philippa and Robbie’s series about Healing.

Healing isn’t a linear path, it’s a winding road with highs and lows, unique to each individual. Some days, it feels like we’re soaring, whilst others feel like a struggle to put one foot in front of the other.

In this episode, Philippa and Robbie offer their words of encouragement, reminding us to surrender to the process, staying curious and open minded. Understanding ourselves takes time and we should strive to find joy in the process by trusting our intuition, experimenting with new tools and integrating those that resonate deeply with us.

So, to all those navigating their healing journey, keep going. Every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory in itself.

In celebration of Philippa and Robbie’s 50th episode, we dive into a special conversation where they reflect on their personal reasons for cherishing their sensitivity, whilst holding space for community members to share their own perspectives.

Have you ever wondered what draws you to embrace your sensitivity as an HSP? Perhaps you’re still figuring out what it means to be highly sensitive, pondering why certain things just seem to hit differently for you. As a community, we possess a multitude of wonderful traits, yet they manifest differently in each of us.

Whether you're looking for a little inspiration to explore your own sensitivity or just need a reminder of its beauty, this episode offers the perfect opportunity for reflection and discovery.

As HSPs, we move through the world differently to others, but as a community of highly sensitive beings we share much in common. Have you ever found yourself struck by a beautiful sunset, unable to look away or perhaps moved to tears by an interaction with another soul? These moments, though deeply moving, can sometimes leave us feeling self-conscious or "different" in public settings, as we glance around to gauge others' reactions, checking to see if anyone else gets it.

In this episode Philippa and Robbie discuss many feelings and experiences that are entirely normal for HSPs. They remind us of the invaluable gift it is to be deeply sensitive, allowing us to attune to the energy of the world around us, a capacity that sets us apart from others.
