Aligned & Soulful Success | Guiding high-achieving women of color to succeed through their soulful purpose

If you are listening to this episode on its release date in late December of 2020, this past year has been a source of stress for all of us and we have had to choose. Choose to continue moving forward, taking one day at a time, giving ourselves grace, or to choose to hide and wait for things to return to normal. It can be easy as an Empath or HSP to get wrapped up in the everyday challenges we face due to our sensitivity. In this episode, I’m going to talk about some big strengths that we HSP’s and Empaths have, and how to avoid negative challenges that can potentially arise with these strengths. Be sure to leave a review if this episode resonates with you!

Do you ever find yourself struggling against your intuition? So many times, HSP/Empaths find themselves in a place of overwhelm, anxiety, and even depression and negative coping behaviors when they are struggling. Are you ready to stop that spiral, and figure out how to listen to your intuition to guide you in the right direction?

In this episode, I interview Marie Bowser and she shares her journey of overcoming the anxiety that presented itself in the form of irritability and negative coping measures that only added to her level of dissatisfaction.

HSP's & Fun

Send us a text

As HSP’s, introverts, and empaths the word fun can feel like a trigger due to the other 80% of the population viewing fun so differently than we do. It can be easy to get wrapped up in the idea of what “fun” is supposed to be instead of realizing that fun is something personal and individual to things that bring us joy. In this episode, I discuss why fun can seem so triggering and it can be difficult for HSP’s to find things that we find fun, the importance of fun in everyone’s life, and some different ideas of things that are sensory-friendly that can be fun to you that others may not consider. It’s time to start making fun a priority in your life again!

I hope I have inspired you to choose to have some fun today. Take some time and schedule in the appointment for next week or within the next two weeks. Make it a regular habit, and see how this impacts your life.

If you are having trouble letting go because you are overwhelmed with all that is going on in your life, it may be time to contact me to schedule a clarity session.
