Life-changing!
Listening to this podcast has been so life-changing for me. I’ve taken the HSP test before but I didn’t know what to do with the results—I didn’t have tools on how to manage being an HSP, and I thought it was just a ‘curse’, so to speak, to be so sensitive. Plus, before I had the proper tools to care for myself, I would push and work myself to exhaustion, holding myself to the same standards of work the world does, and because of that I would crash completely—like, I would lock myself up in my room in complete darkness and forbid anyone to even knock on the door, because I felt like the extra sensory stimulation would make me explode, and I would be so useless for basically two or three days. And this went on for years! But through conversations between Julie and Willow, I have learned concrete tools on how to manage overwhelm and anxiety, and I’m beginning to realize that it’s actually an option to take care of myself instead of being hard on myself. When I catch myself being hard on myself, or anxious or judgmental, I often imagine Julie or Willow talking me through the difficult moment through the many tools they mention in this podcast. Their vocabulary has entered my self-talk too: I am learning to honor my needs, name my emotions, and see my sensitivity as a gift instead of a curse, and to tailor my environments to best fit my needs. It has been so life-affirming and validating, especially since I’ve spent most of my life suffering from low self-esteem and frequent anxiety and overwhelm. Thank you so much, Julie and Willow and your community. I am finally beginning to have a kinder relationship with myself, which I never thought was possible, and I’m learning to practice self-compassion and self-care. I listen to your podcast every morning as I get ready for the day and again at night before I go to sleep, because it’s so life-affirming and validating. Thank you so much and I hope you’ll keep putting out these excellent episodes!

Before discovering that I was an HSP and this podcast, I had almost given up on therapy. I had therapist after therapist that didn’t seem to know how to help me with my anxiety and didn’t really get it. I kept feeling frustrated and kept wondering if I’m just crazy for having a lot of anxiety...Read full review »
