Call Me Sensitive

Ariane Tavakol

Call Me Sensitive is a podcast about emotional intelligence, perception, and how highly perceptive people think, build, lead, and navigate the world. I got tired of hearing that sensitivity was a flaw. For years I actually believed it. Now I know it’s actually my Super Power and it helps me navigate life, business, relationships and everything else. Sensitive people notice things early. We read a room before the room even knows what it feels. We connect dots most don’t see. On this podcast I speak with founders, artists, doctors, researchers, opinionated parents, and even sharp 12-year-olds who see more than we give them credit for. We talk about how being this way shapes how we think, build, decide, love, and lead. Not sensitivity as fragility. Sensitivity as intelligence.

    Kiki Izarra on Grief, Songwriting, and turning Loss into Music

    In this episode of Call Me Sensitive, I speak with singer-songwriter Kiki Izarra about grief, sisterhood, music, and the moment loss stops you in your tracks, then dares you to live differently. Kiki shares the story behind her song It’s Been More Than a Year, written after losing her sister, Rachel. We talk about the daily calls that suddenly stop, the strange guilt of moving forward, and the truth that grief does not end, it changes shape. Sometimes it sounds like silence. Sometimes it comes wrapped in melody. Sometimes it is the very thing that pushes you to stop postponing your life. This is a conversation about pain, hope, creative courage, and giving yourself permission to live fully, even after life has broken your heart. In this episode: the story behind It’s Been More Than a Yearwhat grief changes, and what it never doeswhy joy and sorrow can exist at the same timehow loss pushed Kiki to finally claim her voice • the quiet danger of waiting too long to begin Listen to her full song here and follow her on Instagram.

    When Skin Speaks - Epa Gousopoulos on Inflammation, Stress and Healing

    Everyone in skincare talks about glow. Very few talk about flow. In this episode, Ariane sits down with plastic surgeon and IRÄYE co-founder Dr. Epa Gousopoulos to talk about the lymphatic system, a quiet network in the body that most of us ignore… even though it has a lot to do with puffiness, skin clarity, and how our face actually looks over time. What makes this interesting is that IRÄYE didn’t start as a beauty idea. It started as medical research at ETH, working with patients suffering from lymphedema. Which naturally leads to a bigger conversation about skincare, lifestyle, patience, and why the future of beauty might be less about miracle creams… and more about how the body actually works. Turns out the glow might just be the side effect. In this episode: • Why the lymphatic system is finally getting attention • The difference between glow and flow • How a medical discovery turned into a skincare brand • Why quick fixes rarely deliver what they promise • The small habits that help your skin (and brain) function better Guest: Epa Gousopoulos Plastic surgeon & Co-Founder of IRÄYE https://www.iraye.com

    Ice Cross at 70 km/h - Why IceXPaul Started Extreme Racing at 49

    Call Me Sensitive is a podcast about perception, emotional intelligence, and how highly perceptive people navigate the world. Most people slow down in their forties. Paul decided to start racing down an ice track at 70 kilometers per hour. IceXPaul didn't start extreme sports until 41. No background. Just a realization that "I'm too old" was a lie he'd been telling himself. Five years later, he's racing World Cups against athletes half his age. Ariane Tavakol and Paul talked about the first time fear froze him completely, how he learned to separate ego from readiness, and what changes when you stop listening to everyone else's doubts and limiting beliefs. This isn't a sports story. It's about questioning the ceiling you've built for yourself. If you enjoy these conversations, follow Call Me Sensitive and share it with someone who might need it.

    The Wind and the Grass – Why Strength Often Looks Like Vulnerability

    Call Me Sensitive is a podcast about perception, emotional intelligence, and how highly perceptive people navigate the world. When the wind gets strong, the grass bends. The tree that refuses to bend often breaks. Strength is usually described as endurance. But sometimes strength looks like something else entirely. In this solo episode, Ariane Tavakol sits with a simple metaphor: the wind and the grass. Why the things that bend are the ones that survive? And why the rigid things, the ones that look the strongest, are often the first to snap? Strength comes from embracing discomfortVulnerability is a source of strength If you enjoy these conversations, follow Call Me Sensitive and share it with someone who might need it.

    A Beautiful Heart – The Quiet Strength of Feeling Deeply

    Call Me Sensitive is a podcast about perception, emotional intelligence, and how highly perceptive people navigate the world. Sensitive people often stay longer in places they should probably leave sooner. Being sensitive means feeling more. More joy. More disappointment. More empathy. And your heart shows it. A few dents. Some wear and tear. That’s not something to fix. It just means you loved while you were in it, instead of holding back to stay safe. Risk it all! So worth it. If this resonated with you, follow the podcast so you don’t miss the next episode.
