Ever been told you're "too sensitive" or wondered why parenting feels so overwhelming? You might be among the 20-30% of people born with the highly sensitive person (HSP) trait. In this illuminating conversation with Lisa Lewis, licensed therapist and holistic practitioner, we unpack what it means to parent as an HSP—and possibly raise HSP children.

Lisa introduces us to Dr. Elaine Aaron's DOES framework, which helps explain why highly sensitive people process deeply, become easily overstimulated, demonstrate strong empathy, and notice subtleties others miss. We explore how these traits shape our parenting approach, often leading to perfectionism and exhaustion as we absorb not just our own emotions but everyone else's too.

The perfectionist tendencies many HSPs develop often begin in childhood—HSP children instinctively try to make everything "perfect" when they sense tension or conflict, sacrificing their own emotional expression in the process. As parents, we might recreate these patterns, striving for perfect environments and experiences for our children while depleting ourselves.

What makes this episode truly transformative are the practical energy management techniques shared. From visualizing protective boundaries with "this is me and that is you" mantras to teaching even young children how to protect their energy with simple visualizations, these tools offer immediate relief for overwhelmed HSP parents. The qigong practice of "shaking it off"—similar to how animals naturally reset their nervous systems after stress—provides another accessible way to release absorbed tension.

Ready to transform your sensitivity from a burden into your parenting superpower? This conversation offers compassion, validation, and practical wisdom for the highly sensitive parent's journey. Your sensitivity isn't a weakness—it's a gift that, when properly managed, allows you to parent with extraordinary insight and connection.

Have you ever noticed your child suddenly reflecting emotions you've been quietly harboring? There's a profound energetic connection between parents and children that goes beyond words—one that can teach us as much as we teach them.

In this eye-opening episode, I share a recent experience with my son who expressed heartache about attending a concert because he missed his old friends. This moment revealed the fascinating way children can sometimes mirror our unspoken feelings, while other times they're processing their own authentic emotions. The challenge for spiritual parents lies in helping our children discern between the two.

I introduce a powerful tool I use with my kids: teaching them to ask, "Is this your energy or someone else's?" By placing a hand on their hearts and tuning inward, children can develop the extraordinary skill of energetic discernment—something many of us didn't learn until adulthood, if at all. This practice has transformed how my family communicates about emotions and helps my children build healthy energetic boundaries.

The episode explores how energy works in our interactions with others, from the magnetic pull we feel toward certain people to the way others are drawn to us when our hearts are open. I share practical activities, like intuitive watercolor painting, that parents can use to help children recognize their mind-body-spirit connection in playful, accessible ways. Imagine where our children will be at 41 if they're learning these spiritual tools at 7 and 10!
