Before modern society, sensitivity wasn’t a weakness — it was survival.

We needed to read the weather, sense danger in the forest, feel shifts in our tribe, and attune to one another for safety. The most sensitive people were often the most perceptive, intuitive, and protective.

In today’s episode, we explore how sensitivity is actually a superpower — and how many of the most reactive, hardened, or even destructive people among us may have once been deeply sensitive children whose tenderness was shamed, abused, or exploited.
