Jealousy is an uncomfortable but common human emotion, and can manifest in different ways. In this episode, Philippa and Robbie talk about how to use jealousy as a flag to turn inward and discover what we really desire.

Bonus: Philippa and Robbie display their acting "skills" in a bit of a roleplay.

Self-Love is one of Robbie's favorite topics!

The messages we internalize growing up are often about conditional love, so that's how many of us learn to love ourselves (and others). If we do [fill in the blank] we'll be deserving of love. Until we do [blank], we don't fully deserve love. From there, we judge ourselves mercilessly about how we're falling short and constantly feel like we're not enough.

Learning to love yourself is truly life-changing. It helps create a sense of safety and appreciation within your own being. And the benefits ripple out to all the people in your life because the more you love yourself, the more you're able to love others.

Listen in as Philippa and Robbie share stories and strategies from their own paths to self-love.

Welcome back, lovely listeners! Today, we're diving into the deep waters of burnout with the incredible Josh Speraneo. Get ready for a candid discussion about the signs, struggles, and triumphs of burnout.

Josh spills the beans on his personal burnout journey in his 20s -what it looked like, how he bounced back, and the invaluable lessons he learned along the way. But he's not alone in this; our very own hosts, Robbie and Philippa, bare their souls and share their burnout tales. It's a heart-to-heart conversation that'll leave you nodding in recognition.

But hey, this isn't just a pity party. These three warriors are laying it all out there so you can spot burnout in yourself faster than you can say "self-care." No one wants you loitering in the burnout zone, trust us.

As HSPs, we're more prone to burnout because we care, feel, and process like no other. Brace yourselves, because compassion fatigue is a real rollercoaster. But fear not! The magic happens on the flip side.

It's a no-nonsense conversation about the challenges we face. But guess what? There's a roadmap to healing, and it involves some serious inner work. Find out how to fill your self-worth cup, make self-care a priority, and build a sustainable plan to keep burnout at bay. It's not just a podcast episode; it's a conversation about self-discovery and resilience.

Josh is a certified Master Life Coach on a mission to change the way the world views high sensitivity. More than that, he has a deep desire to help highly sensitive people and empaths live vibrant and fulfilling lives where they're able to make the most of the gifts that come with these traits! You can learn more about Josh's coaching program and find a library of free resources he has created by connecting with him on LinkedIn or by visiting TheSuccessCycle.com. See the links below.

Being an HSP is such an important part of who we are, and for many of us, realizing we are highly sensitive is life-changing. In this conversation, Robbie and Philippa acknowledge this while also looking at the other things that inform who we are and how we experience the world.

Who is at the core of you? What qualities does your unconditioned self have? What wisdom does she bring?

Philippa and Robbie *really* didn't know where this conversation was going, but they trusted their gifts and each other, leaned into their intuition, and followed the juice.

After a break over the Summer, Philippa and Robbie are recording new episodes in their signature style. Relaxed, deep, sometimes irreverent but always real! They are so happy to be back. They will have a few guests for you too over the coming months.

They really enjoyed being part of the recent HSP Awareness Summit and new listeners are so welcome to the podcast community. It's great to have you here along with the wonderful, faithful listeners who tune in each week. Thank you all for being here.

This week is all about being our unique selves. We're HSPs but that doesn't mean we're all the same - after all we're human beings and we come in many forms. Take Robbie and Philippa, they share a mission and values but they're really quite different. They share how the trait shows up for them and Robbie also shares an idea from an article by André Solo on the Sensitive Refuge website where he talks about 3 types of HSPS - supersensers, superfeelers and aesthetes. They both identify with all 3 but to a different extent. This is just one way of looking at the trait and they encourage you to embrace your own unique gifts and shine in the world. They hope you will get to a place where, like Robbie, you can say "It's my trait!".

Believing the trait is a real thing is the first big step for most of us and once you know you have the trait, learn what it offers you and the world. You are so needed. They also mention that they're not bypassing the challenges of the trait, and those challenges are real, but what gets them fired up is talking about the strength that comes with sensitivity.

They'd like to do an episode listing all the ways the trait shows up and they need your help to do that. Please get in touch and let them know so they can do an episode that will help other HSPs see themselves and help them on their journey of acceptance of the trait.

Thanks for listening and being with Philippa and Robbie on this path. You are so appreciated.

This week on the podcast, Philippa is talking to her good friend Jules about grief. We're not all good at talking about the hard things in life, particularly grief, and Philippa and Jules really wanted to talk about this in the hope that you might feel more able to talk about it.

Jules is a therapist in the NHS in the UK and also in private practice. She specialises in children and young people and she also works with adults and she is a supervisor for other therapists.

Grief and loss have played a large part in Jules' life, both personally and professionally, and she graciously shares her wisdom with us in this conversation. Taking time to emerge herself in the grief she felt when her father died, really helped her to move through it. The weight of the grief felt unbearable at times but she feels so much lighter for having worked through it.

Jules' advice - be gentle and kind with yourself, take it one step at a time and share if you can.

What does "flow" mean to you? How do you experience it? How do you access it?

Sarah Green is back with Philippa again on this episode talking about Community. Sarah first guested on Episode 19 where we talked about her reflections on the work she does with her coaching clients.

Sarah has created two communities over the last year or so and Philippa is a member of one of them so she invited Sarah to talk about what community means to her, why it's important and how it differs to networking and other groups. Sarah is such a testament to understanding what you need and if you can't find it, create it yourself!

We hope you enjoy this conversation. At the end Philippa mentions the Community she and Robbie have started together and if you would like to know more, use the link below to email us.
