Motherhood is hard. Running a business is hard. Being an HSP on top of that definitely adds a whole other dimension. I really try to always be positive about being an HSP but at the end of the day, I'm only human and things tend to wear us down much harder if we aren't careful. HSPs tend to get stuck in overthinking and overanalyzing and needing breaks before we burn out - and that's OK! It's all about learning how to take care of ourselves and nourish ourselves or ask for help. I recently had an experience as a mother and business owner that was new to me and I wanted to share about it. Because I always want to be real with you guys and share what I'm going through. Get cozy and join me in this episode as I get a little vulnerable - hopefully it will help you through your struggles too. 🌸 🌸 🌸 Join me inside The Sensitive & Soulful Vault Follow along on Instagram: @lifebyalissa Learn more: sensitiveandsoulful.com Enroll now in The Sensitive & Soulful Self-Worth Course The Sensitive & Soulful Show is managed by Happy Pod Productions

Happy Valentines Day! I thought it was the perfect time to re-share this Sensitive & Soulful Podcast episode from October 2021 talking all about relationships as an HSP. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ HSPs make up only about 15-20% of the population which means most people you meet and have relationships with are not HSPs. This is why it's so important to learn about your trait and understand the HSP characteristics fully in order to communicate them to your partner. Our partners can't read our minds, we must be willing to have those conversations with them. In most cases, the people we have strong relationships with will be open (and eager) to learn more about you and what makes you, YOU! But sadly, it is all too common for HSPs and empaths to find themselves wrapped up with a narcissistic person who doesn't care about their good-natured traits but instead uses your empathy, love, and kindness to their advantage. Either way, it may be time for some tough conversations with yourself and others. Tune in to this episode to get the lowdown on relationships as an HSP and empath. In this episode, you'll learn: How to feel more understood by your partner. How to set energetic boundaries in close relationships. Narcissists with HSPs and Empaths. 🌸 🌸 🌸 Enroll now in The Sensitive & Soulful Self-Worth Course Follow along on Instagram: @lifebyalissa Learn more: sensitiveandsoulful.com The Sensitive & Soulful Show is managed by Happy Pod Productions

I was feeling a little dramatic the other day when I canceled my HSP Business Mastermind Zoom call and IG Live because I was overwhelmed and not feeling my best.

That you are not dramatic, you just have different needs than non-HSPs.

Join Matt and I on this episode of the Sensitive & Empowered Series, where we talk about our own personal journeys toward developing self-trust. From people-pleasing and conformity, to learning to listen to the whispers of our intuition, we have both come a long way when it comes to learning how to trust ourselves. We both live by the motto “feel the fear and do it anyway” and this has been the mindset we have needed to take the necessary action to put ourselves in situations where we can develop trust in ourselves. You can do this too, and we encourage you to move through self-doubt and fear so you can step more into your power. When you learn to stop outsourcing your authority to others, you will come home to yourself and find the trust you have been seeking all along. 🌸 🌸 🌸 Follow Matt Landsiedel on Instagram: @inspiredtobeauthentic Check out the Inspired to Be Authentic Podcast Enroll now in The Sensitive & Soulful Self-Worth Course Follow along on Instagram: @lifebyalissa Learn more: sensitiveandsoulful.com The Sensitive & Soulful Show is managed by Happy Pod Productions

I've had enough of over consumption - whether it's social media, the news, podcasts, or just other people. We all have our own thoughts and opinions but when we only consume and never create, we tend to tone down our own messages to fit the collective.  So, no more agreeing with everyone for the sake of agreeing with everyone. It's time to take back our power and understand how important it is to be still, quiet, and listening to our own voices.

Join Matt and I on this episode of the Sensitive & Empowered Series (a monthly Instagram chat)! This month we talked about loneliness. We've both been experiencing bouts of loneliness in our lives right now and we wanted to share openly and vulnerably about the cause and how we're dealing with it. Being an HSP can be such a gift but it can also be challenging to navigate as well. Social isolation and hyper-independence are two common defense mechanisms many of us tend to use to cope with loneliness. In the episode we both unpack some of the day-to-day psychology involved and how it shows up in our lives personally. In this episode, you'll learn: How we've been experiencing loneliness in our lives What we're doing to move through it and support ourselves That loneliness is not something to feel guilty about it 🌸 🌸 🌸 Follow Matt Landsiedel on Instagram: @inspiredtobeauthentic Check out the Inspired to Be Authentic Podcast Enroll now in The Sensitive & Soulful Self-Worth Course Follow along on Instagram: @lifebyalissa Learn more: sensitiveandsoulful.com The Sensitive & Soulful Show is managed by Happy Pod Productions
