Flipping the script on sensitivity, because it’s your edge, not your setback. If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” struggled to find your place in high-pressure work environments, or felt like you had to toughen up just to get by – this podcast is for you. Hosted by me, Teresa Beehan, ex-corporate insider turned Career Coach, Founder of Practical Feeling, and proud Sensitive Professional. This show is a space where sensitivity is celebrated in all its nuance: the messy, the magical, and everything in between. Each episode, I chat with incredible guests to explore what it really looks like to thrive as a sensitive person at work (and in life) – through honest conversations, real experiences, expert insights, and practical tools that meet you where you are. We go deep, but we stay grounded. And we never forget the power of humour and heart.

    Tools for Knowing Yourself with Kerstin Martin

    What if getting to know yourself isn’t about finding the perfect label – maybe it’s more about finding language that helps things make more sense? For sensitive people especially, personality tools can offer a starting point. Not the full picture, but a way in. In this episode, I’m joined by Kerstin Martin to talk about self-knowledge, sensitivity, and how the right tools at the right time can help us work with our nature, not against it.

    Why Thinking Feels Safer Than Feeling with Katarina Hunter

    So many of us have learned to survive by staying in our heads – analysing, planning, staying one step ahead. But what gets lost when thinking feels safer than feeling? In this episode, I’m joined by Katarina Hunter – a somatic practitioner and embodiment teacher – for a conversation about sensitivity, stress, and the survival patterns that keep us disconnected from our own bodies. We explore how fawning, over-functioning and chronic self-reliance can pull us out of ourselves – and how small, resourced shifts can start to bring us home. Katarina shares her own journey through burnout, anxiety, and chronic health issues, and why healing didn’t begin with doing more, but with noticing more. From nervous system overload to self-care as performance, we explore what it really means to feel safe in your own skin again. What we talk about in this episode: How fawning and people-pleasing show up in the nervous systemThe “attic of the mind” – why we disconnect, and what it costs usWhy trauma isn’t always dramatic – and what subtle erosion looks likeHow sensitive people can start to build capacity for discomfortSmall, everyday ways to gently reconnect with your body  More about Katarina: You can learn more about Katarina’s work or connect with her here: Website: https://www.katarinahunter.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katarinahunterInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/katarina_hunter_healing Want to get in touch?

  3. Sensitivity in Design Thinking with Joe Knowland

    Sensitivity in Design Thinking with Joe Knowland

    Design thinking invites us to open things up and explore possibilities, then come back to what matters most. What if sensitivity works in much the same way? In this episode, I talk with Joe Knowland, a furniture designer and former art fabricator, whose career has spanned classrooms, international galleries, and industrial workshops. Joe brings a maker’s mindset to emotional processing, and a deeply human approach to systems thinking. We unpack how the sensitivity that once overwhelmed him is now central to his way of working – and how thoughtful design processes can help us move through emotional fog without losing ourselves in it. Joe shares practical ideas, personal insights, and a refreshingly down-to-earth way of thinking about change, whether that’s in your job, your life, or your own inner world. What we talk about in this episode:   ·     How design frameworks mirror the sensitive experience ·     The power of divergent thinking (and knowing when to stop) ·     Why overwhelm isn’t a failure: just a stage in the process ·     Applying design thinking to emotional stuckness ·     The joy of spirals over circles – and why moving helps   Resources mentioned in this episode:   ·     The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris ·     Emotional Design by Don Norman ·     Rethinking Sitting by Peter Opsvik Want to get in touch?

    Nutrition as a Doorway to Self-Care with Andrew Boyle

    What if nutrition wasn’t about rules or restrictions but about tuning into what you really need? In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Boyle, a nutritionist with a background in corporate HR and finance, to explore how food can become a mirror for your inner world.

He helps clients tune into their daily routines, stress patterns, and emotional rhythms through the seemingly simple act of paying attention to what – and how – they eat.

    Exploring Emotional Darkness with Rebecca Jarvis

    What if the parts of us we try hardest to hide are the very ones that hold the key to healing? In this episode, I sit down with Rebecca Jarvis, founder of the Dark Water Institute, to talk about the emotional landscapes we’re often taught to fear – grief, shame, fear, uncertainty – and why these so-called "dark" feelings might actually be worth staying with, not fixing.
