286. What Experts Get Wrong About Sensitive Women (and How to Become the Expert on You)

What if everything you’ve been told about being “too sensitive” is wrong?

In this episode, I share a deeply personal story from my early motherhood — the exhaustion, the misdiagnoses, and the moment I realized that I wasn’t broken… I was sensitive. For years, I tried to “fix” myself, believing that my emotions were the problem. But the truth is, sensitivity isn’t a weakness — it’s a form of wisdom.

We’ll explore what sensitivity really is (and what it’s not), how it overlaps with common mental health labels, and why learning to partner with your sensitivity is the key to feeling grounded, powerful, and whole.

If you’ve ever felt like the world was too loud, your emotions too big, or your empathy too much — this episode is for you. You’ll learn:

✨ Why your nervous system feels things so deeply

✨ How to stop pathologizing your sensitivity

✨ What it looks like to create safety and strength from the inside out

Your sensitivity isn’t something to fix — it’s something to understand.
