Hey friends! In this episode of SelfKind - a podcast for Highly Sensitive People - I'm talking all about working with your sensitivity, neurotype and brain, rather than against it. 

You'll hear:
- What working with your sensitivity, neurotype and brain actually means
- Why it's counterproductive to push against or shame your sensitivity
- Why it's important to make sure you're measuring yourself against the right yardstick
- The role of self-compassion in personal growth
- A random example from my own life that involves sensory sensitivity to shoes!
