    Healing, Awakening, and the Journey Back to Self as an HSP With Nicole Peterhans

    In this episode I sit down with Energy Alignment and Empowerment Coach Nicole Peterhans to explore healing, awakening, and the journey back to self as an HSP. Nicole shares how discovering high sensitivity later in life unlocked a deeper understanding of her childhood insecurities, people-pleasing patterns, and fear of being seen…and how that realization became the doorway to profound healing. Together, we talk about intuition, limiting beliefs, boundaries, feminine and masculine energy, and what it truly means to come home to yourself. This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that there is nothing wrong with you and that your sensitivity may be the very thing guiding you back to your truth. Nicole shares: The impact of growing up in a structured environment where her perspective wasn’t fully seen or understood.How fear of doing things “wrong” led to hiding, shrinking, and people-pleasing.What awakening really means, and how it often begins with the quiet realization that there’s more.The role of limiting beliefs and subconscious programming in shaping our reality.Why reconnecting with your intuition is essential for alignment and empowerment.The importance of honoring your needs and setting boundaries as an HSP.Topics covered: Healing and awakening as an HSP.Inner child work and boundary-setting.Intuition and self-trust.Fear of being seen.Self-love and self-worth.About Nicole Peterhans: Nicole Peterhans is an Energy Alignment & Empowerment Coach with a unique ability to pick up on the subtle forces, vibrations, and energies that surround us.
