This podcast is created for highly sensitive leaders and is designed to support them to embrace their strengths and gifts so they can feel more confident in their own mind and body and live a life with intention, purpose and more importantly, joy. Kate is a fellow HSP, has a BA hons degree in Education, is a fully trained and qualified professional coach and NLP practitioner and has over 17 years of teaching and over 3 years of coaching and supporting Highly Sensitive People.
Kate believes that you can do anything you want to in this life but that sometimes the path forward becomes muddy with self-doubt and fear of failure. It's her mission to help sensitive thought leaders peel away the self-doubt and stories holding them back, for them to see their own beauty and strength so they can increase self-confidence and self-trust through thought and embodiment work and see their path clearly and move forward confidently, living their life with intention and purpose.

Embracing Emotions: My Journey as a Highly Sensitive Person
In this podcast episode, I delve into the crucial role of emotions, especially for individuals like myself who identify as highly sensitive. I ponder the influence of early life experiences on our ability to express emotions and how, as sensitive individuals, we often suppress them to conform to societal norms. Sharing my personal story, I recount the challenges I faced, including panic attacks and emotional struggles during my pregnancy with my daughter Sophie.
A pivotal moment for me was realising the value of simply sitting with my emotions, refraining from the urge to fix or bury them. I dig deeper into the profound impact of the subconscious mind, emphasising how it communicates through our emotions.
Throughout this episode, I encourage listeners to embrace their feelings, decipher the messages they convey, and recognise that emotions aren't necessarily facts but rather signals from within. I extend an invitation for self-reflection on each listener's emotional journey.
As I gear up for in-person sessions and celebrate my birthday in December, I extend a special offer of discounted coaching and holistic therapy sessions for both local and online participants throughout December and January.

Embracing Desires: Navigating the Scale from Sensitivity to Self-Discovery
In this episode, I dive into the scale from highly sensitive to narcissistic behaviour, sharing insights from my work with clients. We'll explore the tendency for highly sensitive people, like many of us, to lean towards people-pleasing and avoiding confrontation. I discuss the importance of finding balance and embracing our desires without the guilt that often comes with it.
I touch on the challenges we face in making those everyday micro-decisions and how our language, especially the use of "should," can impact our choices. I invite you to join me in looking inward, focusing on our inner dialogue, values, and strengths. It's all about self-compassion as we navigate through setting boundaries and engaging in those tough conversations.
Towards the end, I encourage you to take small steps toward your desires and seek support when needed. Join me in this journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
I also mention a blog post from Elaine Aron which you can read here

What does it mean to be highly sensitive?
When I first discovered I was highly sensitive, I could only see the negatives. I hated the way I thought in so much detail and how I always wanted to know why. I hated that I cried so easily and that people could me *too* sensitive.
However, through talking to other HSPs, training in coaching and NLP, it opened up my mind to the strengths and gifts of being highly sensitive. Now I want you to know how to embrace who you are and really see your strengths in being highly sensitive.
Come and join us for this episode as we delve into:
