Summary
You have pyrobably heard it your whole life: "You're too sensitive." If you feel things deeply, get overwhelmed easily, and notice every detail of everything, you might be wondering why you process the world with such extraordinary depth. Today we explore what it actually means to be a Highl Sensitive Person (HSP) and why it is a neurophysiological trait rather than a stress response.
Muriel Kosovsky is a business owner and coach who has worked internationally for over two decades as a teacher, senior leader, and mentor to support highly sensitive leaders and contributors navigating the workplace. She's the author of the forthcoming book, HSPedia, a comprehensive blueprint for highly sensitive people.
In this episode, Jay and Muriel Kosovsky discuss:
► The four levels of sensitivity that can be activated in highly sensitive people
► Why many HSPs struggle at work—and the kinds of support that actually help
► The non-negotiable qualities HSPs need for relationships to be sustainable and healthy
► The surprising variant of HSP that craves intensity, adventure, and even danger
► The one quality successful HSPs tend to organize their lives around
