201 Navigate Tough Times with HSP Intuitive Autowriting
Business Miracles
12/18/24 • 33 min
One of the key ways to strengthen our intuition as a highly sensitive in business and leadership is through the core practice of using the energy management tool of autowriting. As an untrained HSP, our early environment training can easily override or influence the sensitivity genes and keep us stuck in unhelpful past patterns. Instead, we can choose to do “”the real work”” of a trained HSP and use energy management tools to create a change in our nervous system response and therefore more deliberately access our highly sensitive strengths such as intuition. This core practice can support us with tapping into higher guidance in order to manage end-of-year chaos, family dynamics or drama, challenges in your business, or any other concern, struggle or worry. When we use energy management as a true sense of self-nurture and with the intention of forward movement, then our intuition can be channelled to powerfully create the real change and impact we are each meant to bring to the world.
In today’s episode, I continue the conversation from our last episode – where I celebrated our 200th episode and included a surprise gift for you! – and discussed one of our most important highly sensitive strengths – our intuition. Today we talk about the energy management tool of autowriting which can really support HSPs in business and leadership with strengthening our intuition intentionally so we can receive guidance to take action on what will most support us as we continue to navigate challenges during these exceptional times. I share how the core practice of using energy management tools consistently makes everything easier when it comes to your business or any form of leadership that you’re looking to bring into the world. Whether that is access to easier creative marketing, ability to more easily create a genuine connection in a selling conversation, greater access to aligning the team that’s meant to support you, or whatever it is that you are focusing on right now. Be sure to listen until the end where I guide you through an autowriting experience to support you with receiving guidance on a current struggle, concern, worry or maybe an area of confusion or unknown.

202 Access HSP Intuition to Lead You Into Consistent Action
Business Miracles
01/01/25 • 18 min
As HSPs in business and leadership, when faced with the ongoing challenges of these exceptional times, it can be easy to default to shadow behaviours such as confusion, overthinking, and analysis paralysis. It can be difficult to shift from resistance into resilience in order to take the consistent action needed to create marketing, selling and leadership operations success. However, there is a way through. For us HSPs it’s about accessing our strength of intuition that affords us the ability to take aligned right action resulting in a better future for ourselves and those we serve.
Listen in to this podcast episode as I share how you can release the overthinking mind, analysis paralysis and the HSP tendency towards perfectionism. All to allow your HSP strength of intuition to support you with more easily taking action especially in challenging areas such as marketing, selling and leadership operations. I specifically highlight three key aspects of creating selling success as an HSP through the use of your intuition. I also discuss how fear can create confusion around our intuition pushing us into HSP shadow behavior of overprotection and over responsibility. Which tends to lead to sabotaging our efforts and causing us to stop taking action. Yet action is the cure for confusion and overwhelm so it’s important that we re-train our highly sensitive nervous system to respond differently.
“Today’s training is an invitation to release the overthinking mind.” – Heather Dominick

189 Claim and Celebrate HSP Business Success
Business Miracles
07/03/24 • 19 min
As we cross the mid-year point, this is a great opportunity to check in and reflect on the past six months to acknowledge what you’ve accomplished. However, typically for highly sensitives, what also tends to immediate come to mind are all the things you have not yet accomplished. This tendency can so easily overshadow what you have created so far and cause you to want to quit. Yet, to get what you most want, the key is to celebrate how far you’ve come. This is the way we go from feeling hopeless to hopeful and staying the course rather than quitting and giving up.
In this episode I talk about the importance of claiming and celebrating success as a mark of highly sensitive leadership and how this essential practice of visibility and vulnerability is crucial to getting what we want in business and life. I discuss the two reasons HSPs are often so resistant to celebrate what has already been created and how we can shift this. I also share the concept of pacing, like when running a marathon, to stay engaged in the process of transformation in order to combat the experience of fatigue that we bump up against in the final stretch, where sabotage, lashing out, and defaulting to coping often occurs. This teaching is a great opportunity to check in, acknowledge how far you’ve come, fill up with some hope so you can keep going in your business and life growth. Which, ultimately, is about fulfilling and living your life purpose.
“It’s the final stretch of a marathon that’s most challenging because this is when the delirium of fatigue sets in...There is a sense that things are helpless, there’s a sense that things are hopeless and it’s right at that delirium of fatigue moment in running the marathon when you want to throw up your hands and quit.” – Heather Dominick

183 Embrace Your HSP Difference
Business Miracles
04/10/24 • 21 min
Growing up highly sensitive, many of us missed the opportunity of individuation, or differentiation at a young age – what Margaret Mahler refers to as “hatching”. Because of this, we learned to cope and often hide our highly sensitive difference. We developed coping mechanisms of pushing or hiding (or moving back and forth between pushing and hiding) as a way to adapt rather than embrace our uniqueness and differences. Although this an understandable response we developed to keep ourselves safe when we were younger, now it’s time to stop feeling confused and believing you need to deny who you really are in order to be successful in business and life. Everything is now meant to be done differently.
In this podcast episode, I read an excerpt from my book “Different”, where I vulnerably share my struggle to write my book. I came to realize I was guided to write it because I was meant to teach HSPs not just how to market and sell in their business differently, but how to step up and lead as a highly sensitive to create greater impact (and income) with a lot less effort through these extraordinary times. I also discuss Margaret Mahler’s concept of hatching – a process of separation, individuation and differentiation – and the four sub-phases in this process. I go into more detail on the differentiation phase and speak to how this specifically impacts highly sensitives and our unique journey in this world as HSPs in business and leadership.

182 Staying Above the Fray
Business Miracles
03/27/24 • 19 min
As a highly sensitive person, our neuro-sensitivity is not going away. So, if you are allowing your business or career and life to be dictated by socialized trends, then you are setting yourself up to be in a constant state of anxiety. The focus we want, in order to avoid the comparison traps and pressures of socialized trends, is on how to be able to not only manage our sensitivity, but utilize it in a way that really allows us to show up in business and leadership in the world from a place of highly sensitive strength.
In this podcast episode, I discuss the importance of staying above the fray of socialized trends, especially as a highly sensitive in business and leadership. I share how our social self is born as a response to pressure from the world around us. And how if we stay stuck in this comparison trap we are privileging anxiety instead of choosing privilege of agency. Most importantly, I share what you can do instead.
“If you are allowing your business to be dictated by socialized trends, if you are allowing your work, your career to be dictated by socialized trends...if you are allowing your life to be dictated by socialized trends as a person who is highly sensitive, you are setting yourself up to be in a constant state of anxiety. You are setting yourself up to be in constant motion with the coping cycle and constant tug of war with resistance.” – Heather Dominick

- 2:48: How does research on neuro-sensitivity apply to highly sensitive people
- 4:36: What does it mean to stay above the fray of socialized trends
- 11:52: How does staying above the fray connect to privilege of agency
- 16:06: What is required to stay above the fray of socialized trends
“This is not the time in our world to be giving in to the fray of socialized trends, the fear, the anxiety, the divisiveness, and it is not the time to flake out. It is the time to choose to recognize we are in a new world now, my friends, if you’re waiting for it to be over, it’s going to be a long wait.” – Heather Dominick

178 Replay: Intuitive Goal Setting
Business Miracles
01/31/24 • 21 min
Did you know research shows that a person who sets (and achieves) goals tends to have higher motivation, higher self-esteem and a greater sense of self-confidence and autonomy?
Setting an achievable goal also gives a boost to your systolic blood pressure (SBP).
However, it wouldn’t surprise me if, as a highly sensitive, your experience with goal setting has been quite different.
Here’s why: setting goals rooted in comparison or based on what you think you “should be” doing actually lowers your blood pressure. Which slows you down, and has you feel like you’re trudging through mud – with no motivation to actually take the actions needed to accomplish the goal.
In this podcast episode, I’m sharing how to use your highly sensitive strength of intuition to consistently set – and reach – doable goals that will give you an ongoing boost to your systolic blood pressure and keep you motivated and ready to take action.
“Intellect alone can only get us so far.” – Heather Dominick

“We always have a choice between the smaller socialized version of ourselves and the more magnanimous essential version of ourselves.” – Heather Dominick

207 Understanding HSP Neurodiversity and Executive Functioning
Business Miracles
03/12/25 • 14 min
Have you ever wondered, are highly sensitives neurodivergent? As an HSP, you’ve likely questioned this but haven’t arrived at a definitive answer. There is a lot of information out there on the internet, and a lot of it misinformed so it is important for us to address this by looking at the research and re-returning to what it means to be highly sensitive. Both the research on HSPs (lead by Dr. Elaine Aaron) and the neurodiversity social justice movement (lead by Judy Singer) emerged in the mid-1990s, and there are interesting parallels in their development. Human brains are all wired differently, leading to diverse interpretations of the world, and HSPs represent a unique variation within the neurodiverse population. We are uniquely wired to use our strengths in our business and leadership roles to make the world a better place.
In this week’s episode, I begin a discussion on whether highly sensitives are neurodivergent or not. I revisit and share the definition of what it is to be highly sensitive, as well as the definitions for neurodiversity, neurodivergent, and executive functioning. All crucial things to keep in mind as we consider this important topic. I examine the research and how it relates to us as highly sensitives in business and leadership. Listen until the end where I share five key points to bring it all together so you can better understand yourself and your HSP neurodiversity. Also, be sure to tune into our next episode where we will take this topic further and discuss enhancing HSP neurodiversity and executive functioning.
“HSPs are a subset of the population, a subset of the population who are high in a personality trait known as sensory processing sensitivity or SPS, sensory processing sensitivity or SPS. Those with high levels of SPS display increased emotional sensitivity, stronger reactivity to both external and internal stimuli – pain, hunger, light noise – and as a result of these personality traits and HSP tends to have a complex inner life.” – Heather Dominick
