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.

Sensitive Change Makers: Coaching for HSPs, Introverts & Purpose-Driven Entrepreneurs and Leaders
S3, Ep 35: How Highly Sensitive People Can Find Balance, Purpose and Self-Direction – with Dr Meg Trucano
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Meg Trucano — developmental psychologist, former federal researcher, and founder of a psychology-based coaching practice helping ambitious women navigate major life, career and identity changes. After experiencing burnout in a high-pressure research career, Meg built her Real Change framework to help women ditch their “shoulds”, reclaim their energy and make unapologetically self-directed choices.
We explore:
- What it really means to live as a highly sensitive person — especially when you’re also a parent, partner or business owner.
- How sensitivity can shape your experience of overwhelm, creativity and connection.
- The tension between control and intuition — and what happens when you finally loosen the reins.
- Why doing less, being more, and honouring your natural rhythms can be the ultimate act of courage.
- Meg’s personal story of redefining success and creating work that’s truly soul matched.
It’s a rich, open-hearted conversation about embracing who we are beneath the noise of expectation. If you’ve ever felt “too much” or “not enough” for the world around you, this episode is a gentle reminder that your sensitivity is not a weakness — it’s your greatest strength.
Listen in, take what you need, and allow yourself to breathe a little deeper.
