The Myth of Being "Too Sensitive"
In this episode, I’m diving into a phrase so many of us have heard throughout our lives: “You’re too sensitive.” Maybe you’ve carried that line like a quiet warning, adjusting yourself in every room, trying not to take up too much space, or feeling like your emotions were something you needed to manage for everyone else’s comfort.
I share parts of my own story, but more importantly, I walk you through the patterns that so many sensitive people develop, including shrinking, overthinking, overworking, and reading everyone else long before we ever check in with ourselves. This episode is an invitation to see your sensitivity differently, to understand what it’s been trying to tell you, and to reclaim the parts of you that were labeled “too much.”
