Are You Highly Sensitive?
A highly sensitive person (HSP) is someone who experiences the world with heightened emotional sensitivity and responsiveness to sensory input such as noise, light, and other people's emotions. HSPs process information deeply and may be more easily overwhelmed by intense or chaotic environments compared to others. Around 15-20% of the population are considered highly-sensitive.

Do Your Needs Feel Incompatible with Your Responsibilities?
There are so many wonderful things about being an HSP. However, the demands of modern society and the definitions of “normal” are often incompatible with the needs, desires, limitations, and values of highly-sensitive people.
Creating an environment and lifestyle that sets you up for success by limiting certain experiences, expectations, and situations while creating more space and opportunity for the uplifting, fulfilling scenarios, will create that alignment between who you are, what you want, what you need, and how you navigate the world so your struggles are minimized and your strengths are highlighted.
Designing HSP Thriving

You want to listen to your body & create a schedule that’s aligned with your values.
You want to turn down the volume of the world and control the amount of stimulation you experience.
You are eager to tap into your innate wisdom & trust your authentic self.
You’d like to step away from the hustle & grind culture to embrace your ideal lifestyle.
You feel ready to recalibrate your life into one you don’t need to escape from.
