    When Your Home Makes You Sick: Mold, Materials & the Nervous System

    What if the reason you’re exhausted, inflamed, or foggy isn’t your body—but the space you live in? In this episode, I speak with Shreya Vohora—lifestyle architect, health-tech founder, and luxury interior designer—about a missing piece in most health conversations: your environment. Shreya shares her personal health crisis (including mold toxicity and hormonal disruption), why she was repeatedly told “it’s in your head,” and what she discovered instead: many symptoms are driven by the spaces we live in and the hidden toxins in everyday materials and products. We talk mold, endocrine disruptors, “greenwashing,” and why “eco-friendly” doesn’t always mean healthy. We end with practical steps to make your bedroom a true recovery zone—starting today. 00:00 Meet Shreya 01:42 Foundations of Health 03:27 Personal Health Story 10:49 Introduction to Building Biology 21:29 AI for Healthy Living 28:13 Eco vs Healthy 37:12 Actionable Wellness Tips 42:26 Final Thoughts 👉 Find Shreya here: shreyavohora.com https://uk.linkedin.com/in/shreyavohora https://vibrantlivinglab.substack.com/ 👉 Find Jole here: www.thesensitivesway.com #HSP #EnvironmentalHealth #NervousSystemHealth #HiddenToxins #MoldAwareness #WholeHealth

    When the Spotlight Is On: Trust, Presence & the Power of Language

    What if anxiety isn’t something you have — but something you do? What really happens inside us when the stakes are high and all eyes are on us? 🎤 Listen if you’ve ever: Felt blocked or anxious in high-stakes momentsWondered whether sensitivity is a strength or a liabilitySensed that true confidence comes from somewhere deeper than performanceWanted to communicate with impact without losing yourselfIn this episode I’m joined by presentation coach Claudio Senhauser who works with people facing pivotal, high-pressure moments, from boardrooms to global stages. Claudio brings a rare blend of experience: decades in emerging technology, deep training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and a profoundly humane approach to communication. Together, we explore how language shapes perception, how anxiety is something we do rather than something we are, and why confidence isn’t built through force or fixing, but through trust. We talk about embodiment versus “mind-only” approaches, trauma versus excitement, and why reframing alone isn’t always enough. We also dive into the double-edged nature of labels like “highly sensitive,” how belief systems live in the body, and what it really takes to show up authentically when visibility feels risky. Along the way, Claudio shares a striking personal story that challenges what we think we know about limits, belief, and change. This is a conversation about presence, perception, and reclaiming your inner authority, especially if you care deeply, think deeply, and feel deeply. A grounded, expansive dialogue on trusting yourself when it matters most. 00:00 Bloom Introduction 04:47 Claudio’s Journey 10:38 NLP Insights 13:03 Overcoming Anxiety 17:03 Trauma & Change 24:23 Transformational Story 31:10 Labeling & Identity 40:57 Unique Strengths 45:53 Trust & Preparation 46:41 Conclusion Find Claudio here: www.sennhauser.com and www.youtube.com/@pitchcoach Find Jole here: www.the sensitivesway.com #PowerOfLanguage #NLP #AuthenticCommunication #HighStakesMoments #ConfidenceWithoutForce #SpeakingWithImpact #ShowUpFully

    The Sensitive Explorer: From Trauma to Power

    What happens when a highly sensitive, deeply introverted soul is also wired for intensity, exploration, and profound transformation? In this episode of Bloom, I speak with meditation guide and energy-healing teacher Ana Pashyanti. Ana shares how her life has been shaped by a core paradox: a longing for depth, novelty, and exploration alongside an intensely introverted nervous system. From jumping out of airplanes to traveling across 60 countries to living as a contemplative in the South American jungle, her story reveals the wide spectrum of sensitive experience. We explore: • Deep sensation seeking vs. thrill seeking • How early conflict shaped voice, expression, and identity • Learning to speak after years of extreme introversion • Trauma, emotional processing, and the body • The cost of weak boundaries — and her near-fatal wake-up call • Past-life insight, karmic closure, and leaving Germany • Working with energy fields without absorbing others • Why sovereignty and empowerment matter for sensitives Ana’s journey shows that profound change is possible — and that when sensitives reclaim their boundaries and their power, they become catalysts for deep healing. A tender, powerful conversation for anyone who longs for both depth and freedom on the sensitive path. 00:00 Empowered Sensitives 05:00 Seeking Depth 13:00 Childhood & Expression 19:00 Boundaries & Healing 27:00 Karmic Lessons 34:00 Empowerment Journey 39:00 Closing Reflections Find Ana here: www.anapashyanti.com www.youtube.com/@AnaPashyanti Find Jole here: www.thesensitivesway.com

    The Work for Wealth: Integrating Meditation, Money, and Meaning

    When spirituality meets money, many sensitives freeze; but what if that tension is the real path to wholeness? In this episode of BLOOM, I talk with Todd Smith, a facilitator of The Work by Byron Katie, about how highly sensitive people can integrate their inner and outer worlds — from spirituality and self-inquiry to business, visibility, and leadership. We explore why so many sensitives feel torn between depth and doing, and how curiosity, compassion, and courage can bridge that divide. Todd shares his own story of moving from ashram life to entrepreneurship, and how meditation, inner work, and money can all become part of the same path toward wholeness. 🌸 Listen if you’ve ever felt: At home in meditation but uneasy in the material world Torn between inner peace and outer action Unsure how to integrate sensitivity with visibility ✨ In this episode, we talk about:00:00 Meet Todd Smith 02:39 Bridging Inner Worlds 05:02 Meditation Insights 10:03 Integration Challenges 14:52 Stress & Stillness 22:18 The Work Explained 34:18 Money Mindset 39:56 Podcast Impact 42:53 Final Thoughts ➡️ Find Todd here:https://trueinnerfreedom.com/  ➡️ Find Todd's podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stress-management-for-highly-sensitive-people-hsp-inner/id1612348594 Listen, reflect, and share this episode with a sensitive friend who’s ready to bridge their inner and outer worlds.

    The Love Formula: Why We Choose the Wrong Partners (and How to Stop)

    Love can be both a blessing and a vulnerability—especially for those shaped by displacement, instability, or early emotional wounds. In this episode, I speak with Zoey Charif, author of Love Can, In Fact, Be Calculated, about her unique “love formula”—a framework for understanding compatibility through self-awareness, values, and trait preferences. We explore how many sensitive people fall into distortion patterns, like self-sacrifice, that lead to unbalanced or painful relationships. Zoey explains the crucial difference between values (what you aspire to) and traits (inherent qualities), and how both influence attraction. With deep personal insight and analytical clarity, she shows how healing is possible when we reflect honestly on our past, rewire our patterns, and choose partners who meet us with real safety and respect.
