E4. Being a Gentle Soul (HSP/Intuitive/Empath) in an Ungentle World
About this episode
Have you ever been called too sensitive, or told you take things too seriously? Are you empathic, intuitive, and/or an HSP? If so, you may be a gentle soul like me. In this episode I talk about this special type of person and the struggles they face trying to survive in a society that sees them as having a less desirable personality type. You'll hear about how one of their "handicaps" is actually their greatest strength, and the important role gentle souls can play in our society. I let you in on my secret childhood wish, and of course as always I talk about the role creativity plays in all this. Plus, announcements, another reader question, and a request!
