High sensitivity is an essential trait that has evolved for the survival of the species, and understanding this leads us to a more compassionate understanding of ourselves. The challenges experienced by us as HSPs are not from any inherent flaw within us but rather from a disparity between our sensitivity levels and the demands of the external environment. By intentionally nurturing our sensitive nervous systems, we unlock our potential to flourish and uncover our valuable gifts.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• Understanding and reshaping our perception of sensitivity is an essential foundational step to flourishing

• Unknown to many HSPs, sensory overload often triggers our most significant mental and physical health challenges, and taking steps to prevent it significantly enhances wellbeing

• A transformative journey, delving into a profound understanding of your authentic self while stepping into your light and purpose
