In this deeply validating and insightful episode, Markieta Carter explores why relationships can feel like constant overstimulation for neurodivergent individuals with sensory processing sensitivity—also known as highly sensitive people (HSPs).

Through a compassionate and grounded lens, Markieta breaks down how highly sensitive nervous systems are wired to process emotional and sensory input more deeply. This means that in relationships, we’re not just engaging—we’re absorbing. From subtle tone shifts to unspoken tension, from environmental noise to emotional energy, everything registers—and it adds up.

Markieta explains how this heightened awareness, while a powerful strength, can also lead to emotional fatigue, overwhelm, and the feeling of being constantly “on” in relationships. She dives into why conflict lingers in the body, why even healthy love can feel draining without regulation, and how caring deeply can turn into carrying too much.

Most importantly, this episode offers a reframe: the problem isn’t your sensitivity—it’s the lack of support for your nervous system.

Listeners will walk away with:

This episode is for anyone who has ever loved deeply—but felt overwhelmed doing it.

💛 You are not too much. You are processing more.
