S2:E1 Highly Sensitive People With Alissa Boyer
Episode Summary
Alissa is really passionate about helping deep feeling sensitive souls really feel connected to their true nature, to learn how to feel comfortable being sensitive and proud of being sensitive. As an HSP myself, I felt it was really important to educate the public about this 20% of souls that are part of our population. Especially because being seen as sensitive is often seen as a weakness when in fact it’s a superpower. I want other HSPs out there to know you’re not alone, this is actually a real personality trait, you are not broken, and there are resources to teach you how to navigate life.
