In this episode, I talk with Willow McIntosh about his journey of discovering he was highly sensitive, how he learned to understand and develop the deeper sensory experiences he’d been having since childhood, and how those experiences led him into work that focuses on purpose, truth, and flow. 

Willow shares how his awareness, mentorship, and training shaped his ability to help other HSPs uncover their purpose and gifts.

Willow shares:

• His early childhood awareness of flow, energy, and the feeling of a larger intelligence moving through people and nature.
• His lifelong fascination with purpose and potential.
• How energy feels flowing through the body.
• How he now helps HSPs uncover how to work in partnership with their gifts.
• The difference between living from authentic identity versus living from story and conditioning.
• How authenticity contributes to a healthier and more aligned world.

Topics covered:

• Early childhood experiences with energy, flow, and sensing truth.
• The role of curiosity and lifelong fascination in uncovering purpose.
• Sensory experiences, such as clairsentience, claircognizance, clairvoyance, and clairaudience.
• How energy blockages form and how to work through them.
• The way deeper processing ties into purpose for HSPs.
• How Willow works with clients using the high sensory method.
