Do you ever feel guilty for resting, constantly attune to others' moods, or find yourself apologizing for simply having needs? As we look ahead to 2026, now is the perfect time for highly sensitive people to stop carrying what no longer serves them—and start choosing themselves.

In this powerful Self-Compassion Wednesday episode, Todd Smith gets deeply honest about three subtle but draining habits he's leaving behind—and why every HSP should consider doing the same. You'll learn how these patterns show up in daily life, why they're so hard to let go of, and a gentle, effective process for setting yourself free from them.

You'll Discover:

• Why proving your worth through productivity is a trap for HSPs—and how to break free.

• The hidden cost of over-attuning to others' emotions and how to stay in your own lane.

• How apologizing for your needs leads to self-erasure—and what reclaiming your space really looks like.

Press play now to begin releasing what drains you and reclaim the inner freedom you deserve.
