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 39: Embracing Sensitivity and Finding Stability with Mark Wigginton
In this episode of Sensitive Change Makers, I’m joined by Mark Wigginton – licensed professional counsellor, board-certified coach, endurance athlete and someone with a deeply rich life story around sensitivity, resilience and growth.
Mark shares his journey with incredible honesty, reflecting on how a lifetime of intensity, overstimulation and deep thinking eventually led him to a powerful understanding of himself as a highly sensitive person. Together, we explore what it really means to live, work and lead with sensitivity – especially as a man navigating pressure, responsibility and change.
In this conversation, we explore:
- What it’s like to discover you’re highly sensitive later in life
- Growing up in chaos and how that shapes coping mechanisms
- The link between overstimulation, burnout and emotional overwhelm
- Why many HSPs turn to perfectionism, overworking or adrenaline
- How sensitivity can become a strength rather than something to “fix”
- The role of movement, endurance and routine in finding emotional balance
- High sensation seeking and how it shows up in subtle ways
- Why so many men struggle to ask for support – and the cost of staying silent
- The importance of self-reflection, journalling and slowing down
- Learning to stop fighting who you are and start working with your nature
Mark brings a grounded, compassionate perspective to topics like masculinity, mental health, identity and growth, and shares powerful insights from his work with leaders, entrepreneurs and people navigating major life transitions.
This episode is an honest, thoughtful exploration of what it means to embrace sensitivity, create stability from chaos, and learn to live in a way that truly supports who you are.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, misunderstood, or like you’ve had to push yourself to fit into a world that feels too loud — this conversation is for you.
