Are You Burning Out Trying to Be "Capable"?
Do you find yourself constantly holding everything together — not because you want to, but because you feel you have to? If you're a highly sensitive person, your drive to be competent might actually be wearing you down.
This episode dives into a powerful truth many HSPs live with but rarely name: the unspoken belief that being impressive equals being safe. Todd Smith, a fellow HSP and facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie, unpacks how this conditioning creates invisible labor, chronic tension, and a nervous system that never truly rests — even on vacation.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why capability becomes a survival strategy for HSPs — and the toll it quietly takes on your body.

How invisible labor shows up in emotional tracking, over-functioning, and chronic background effort.

What it really takes to rest without guilt — by shifting responsibility from yourself to reliable systems and support.

Press play now to learn how redefining safety can help you finally relax — without needing to earn it first.

Are You Losing Yourself in Other People's Emotions?
If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP), do you often feel drained after being there for someone? What if your empathy isn't the problem—but the way you're carrying it is?
In this episode of Self-Compassion Wednesdays, we explore the fine line between empathy and emotional merging. Many HSPs unknowingly absorb others' emotions so deeply that they lose their sense of self—leading to burnout, relationship strain, and emotional shutdown. But it doesn't have to be that way.
You'll discover:
The hidden signs that your empathy has crossed into emotional enmeshment.

A powerful body-based technique to stay grounded even during someone else's emotional storm.

How to maintain a deep connection with others without losing yourself in the process.

Listen now to learn how to stay empathic, supportive, and connected—while protecting your own emotional well-being.
