Sensitive Change Makers: Coaching for HSPs, Introverts & Purpose-Driven Entrepreneurs and Leaders
Welcome to Sensitive Change Makers — the podcast for highly sensitive people (HSPs), introverted entrepreneurs, and purpose-led leaders ready to break free from overwhelm, build confidence, and take aligned action in life and business.
I'm Kate Carter — trauma-informed coach, HSP, introvert, and teacher turned passionate coach and mentor for sensitive souls. After decades of living with anxiety and panic attacks, I finally discovered how to transform sensitivity into a superpower — and now I help other introverts and HSPs do the same.
Each week, I share empowering conversations, mindset shifts, and practical coaching tools to support you in creating a life and business that truly fit you.
Whether you're navigating stress, fear of visibility, or feeling stuck playing small, this podcast is here to help you reconnect with your gifts, lead with authenticity, and create success on your own terms.
If you're ready to stop second-guessing yourself, release anxiety, and step confidently into a life of purpose, intention, and joy — you're in the right place.

S3, Ep 33: Why Not Me? Rewriting the Stories Holding Highly Sensitive Leaders Back
In this week’s episode, I’m opening up about one of the sneakiest stories that can hold us back as sensitive leaders and entrepreneurs. It’s that quiet little voice that says: “They’re too successful, too confident, too much for me to measure up.”
Here’s what I share inside:
- Why this hidden identity gap can keep us from stepping into our next role or opportunity
- How we often make things about other people when the real story is about us
- Practical steps to shift your perspective and stop putting others on a pedestal
- Journaling prompts and reflections to help you rewrite the stories that are keeping you small
- A powerful reminder that you don’t need to be “fully healed” or “perfect” to grow
This conversation is all about finding the courage to see yourself as capable, ready, and worthy of the opportunities that are waiting for you.

Here are 10 powerful journal prompts your attendees can use to deepen this work:
- What stories do I currently tell myself about who my “ideal” clients are and who I am in relation to them?
- Where do I notice myself shrinking back, holding back, or making assumptions about what others think?
- When was the last time I doubted my offer, not because of its quality, but because of who I imagined would see it?
- If I fully believed I was “good enough,” how would I show up differently in my business today?
- What evidence do I already have that proves I am skilled, capable, and ready for bigger opportunities?
- Imagine a dream client approaches you — describe in detail how you confidently respond, using all five senses.
- What identity shift do I need to make to step into the next level of my business?
- Where am I waiting to be “fully healed” or “fully ready” before taking action — and how can I move forward now, as I am?
- What assumptions have I been making about others that might actually be holding me back?
