  1. Unmasking and Coming Home to Ourselves as Highly Sensitive People

    6D AGO

    Unmasking and Coming Home to Ourselves as Highly Sensitive People

    In this heartfelt and honest conversation, I am joined by integrative psychotherapist and HSP coach Simone De Costa, breathwork facilitator and coach Alan Friday, and Clinical Psychologist and conscious parenting coach Dr Genevieve Von Lob. We are the co-facilitation team behind the annual HSP Retreat in Devon. Together, they explore what it means to "unmask" - the process of shedding the adaptive personas we build to fit in, survive, and belong, and returning to our authentic selves. The conversation covers how masking often begins in childhood (especially for highly sensitive people), the roles we unconsciously take on, such as the people-pleaser, peacekeeper, or achiever, and the personal toll of living behind these masks over time. We each share our journey of unmasking - from burnout and crisis moments that became catalysts for deeper self-inquiry, to the gradual, courageous process of learning to trust our inner voice and body. We discuss how "coming home to yourself" is less about reaching a fixed destination and more about cultivating a safe, compassionate inner refuge - one built through embodied practices, self-acceptance, and genuine community. The episode closes with three practical tools for embodiment: breathwork and diaphragmatic breathing (Alan), the mindful body scan (Simone), and the three-sync check-in — tuning into thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations simultaneously (Genevieve). We also give a glimpse into our upcoming four-day HSP Retreat in Devon - a deeply nourishing, spacious, and welcoming container for sensitive people who are ready to finally exhale, belong, and be themselves.

    The Highly Sensitive Learner: Rethinking Education for Highly Sensitive Children, Educators & Parents

    Walking Between Worlds: The Spiritual Gifts of Highly Sensitive People with Ixté Owul

    In this episode of the Highly Sensitive Human Podcast, I sit down with  Ixté Owul - a certified Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) coach, spiritual mentor, and intuitive guide. Together, we explore what it means to reclaim sensitivity as a gift rather than a burden. Ixté shares her personal story of navigating psychic experiences from a young age, and later experiencing a profound spiritual awakening. She speaks about the importance of presence, safety, and being witnessed and how highly sensitive people can transform their experiences of overwhelm into sources of empowerment. The conversation touches on ancestral healing, dreamwork, shadow work, and the role of grief and transformation in the HSP journey. Ixté also offers insights into her unique mentorship and healing practices, as well as resources that have supported her along the way.  Resources Mentioned: Conscious Dreaming by Robert MossThe Anatomy of a Calling by Lissa Rankin, MDQuote from Charles Eisenstein, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is PossibleMore about Ixté Owul Ixté Owul is a certified Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) coach, spiritual mentor, and intuitive guide.

  6. The Wild Sensitive, Unlocking the Power of The Highly Sensitive High Sensation Seeker with Randy Grasser and Annet van Duinen

    The Wild Sensitive, Unlocking the Power of The Highly Sensitive High Sensation Seeker with Randy Grasser and Annet van Duinen

    In this episode The Wild Sensitive, Unlocking the Power of The Highly Sensitive High Sensation Seeker I'm so excited to be talking with the inspiring Randy Grasser and Annet van Duinen.  With a rare combination of emotional depth and daring spirit, they are redefining what it means to be both Highly Sensitive (HSP) and High Sensation Seeking (HSS). Their lives are a living testament to this vibrant duality, walking the edge between stillness and adventure, introspection and bold exploration. Their mission is rooted in personal experience. Randy’s path has spanned over 50 countries and countless extremes, from surviving an avalanche and navigating wilderness trials to working in harsh industrial environments and creating a life-changing 26-day behavioral program for court-appointed teens. Each chapter of his journey uncovered a deeper truth: his sensitivity wasn’t a weakness, it was his greatest strength. Annet brings over a decade of coaching experience as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC), guiding individuals and organizations toward understanding, embracing, and leveraging sensitivity in powerful ways. A true explorer at heart, she combines emotional depth with bold curiosity, helping others find freedom and confidence in who they are, both in personal growth and professional leadership. Together, they are dedicated to educating and empowering others through every medium they can reach, be it their books, immersive retreats, online webinars and workshops, and meaningful conversations on social media. Their teachings offer a fresh, compassionate, and powerfully honest perspective, one that validates sensitivity as a strength while also honoring the craving for novelty, challenge, and growth that many HSPs feel but rarely understand.

    On Being a Highly Sensitive Man: Embracing your Gifts and Purpose with William Allen

    In today's episode, I speak to William Allen about Highly Sensitive Men and his new course, On Being a Highly Sensitive Man.  William Allen is the author of Confessions of a Sensitive Man and On Being a Sensitive Man. He leads the course with insights drawn from his extensive work as an advocate for HSP men. He is a certified hypnotist and brain training coach, author and advocate for HSP Men.  He believes that male sensitivity is not so rare, but it can be confounding for most males living in a culture of masculine insensitivity which teaches boys and men to disconnect from their feelings and emotions. As a highly sensitive individual himself, William combines personal experience, professional expertise, and engaging storytelling to create a transformative learning experience.   Join the Waitlist (before March 17th) and take advantage of the early-bird discount: https://wwwhighlysensitivehumanscom.involve.me/hsp-man-course-waitlist Join the course On Being a Highly Sensitive Man here: https://academy.highlysensitivehumans.com/courses/on-being-a-sensitive-man Stay in touch with William Allen   Website:  www.thesensitiveman.com Author of Confessions of a Sensitive Man, An Unconventional Defense of Sensitive Men Support the show About the Host: Jules De Vitto is a transpersonal coach, trainer and experienced educator for Highly Sensitive People.
