Episode 002 of the Sensitives On A Mission podcast is all about mindset. We explore whether you practice a fixed or a growth mindset (and how profoundly the answer to that question can impact your life), why mindset awareness is particularly relevant and empowering for HSPs, the science that demonstrates that you have the power to shape your mindset if it isn’t serving you, as well as my "Four Ps Approach to Practicing a Growth Mindset" - four small, concrete, practical steps you can take to re-train your mindset to support you, improve the quality of your life experience, and propel you toward your goals.



This episode is for you if:


--->your mindset doesn't serve you 100% of the time (whose does?!)


--->you've heard the buzz about mindset, and you're curious how it specifically pertains to you, as an HSP


--->you're skeptical - what you've previously read or heard about mindset hasn't quite resonated with you


--->you want not just theory, but concrete, practical actions to experiment with to get your mindset to support you and your goals



In this episode, we cover:

--->what mindset is, the two types (fixed and growth), and which one you most often adopt


--->how fundamental - and usually subconscious - our mindset is, and how stealthily it seeps into all aspects of our lives


--->three reasons cultivating a growth mindset can be particularly empowering for HSPs


--->the science that demonstrates that, over time, we can shape our mindset to be more growth-oriented


--->the "Four Ps Approach" - my framework that walks you step-by-step through how to practice a growth mindset


--->lots of examples and illustrations to make what we discuss relatable and easy to experiment with!

In this first episode, we set the stage for the Sensitives On A Mission podcast by exploring what it means to be an HSP (did you know there's lots of research behind the trait, as well as a framework for understanding our unique physiological makeup?), why it’s important to know, and how we can harness this knowledge to live more engaged and fulfilling lives.

We touch on some of the extraordinary HSP-specific strengths - and challenges - and how our wellbeing practices, including around positive psychology and productivity, can be even more effective when we view them through the lens of the HSP trait. I also give a sneak-peek into the positive psychology and productivity practices we'll experiment with in future episodes!


This episode is for you if:


-->you want to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of your HSP nature


-->you feel like the trait is more of a negative than a positive, but you're open to hearing another perspective


-->you want to explore your inherent HSP strengths, not just struggles


-->you'd like to have more balanced and empowering language for how to talk about the trait with others



In this first episode, we cover:


-->a little story time -  can you identify with this depiction?


-->what it means to be an HSP -- genetically, evolutionarily, physiologically


-->how the trait 'shows up' in four primary ways that make our finely-tuned sensory processing so powerful (and sometimes challenging/overwhelming)


-->why it's important to educate ourselves about our HSP trait


-->many of the extraordinary, innate strengths that HSPs possess


-->how wellbeing practices, like positive psychology and productivity, can be even more effective when tailored to our unique processing style


-->the kinds of positive psychology and productivity topics we'll experiment with in this weekly podcast
