The Healthy Sensitive's Podcast

We are constantly encouraged (dare I say...pushed?) to do more...consume MORE. But has that added more value to our lives? I am not so sure. Join me as I talk about how we might actually find ourselves physically healthier, mentally happier, and finacially more secure if we simply learned how to embrace "less" in favor of a tyrannical "more."

Adulting is hard for everyone, but we HSP have a tendancy to get overwhelmed pretty easily. When we HSP are overwhelmed, it can be all-consuming.
