Challenges and Treasures of Sensitivity
Episode 7 season 5: Keri Nola on Recognizing and Honoring Your Sensitivity
Do you view your sensitivity as a negative? In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth Cush welcomes back Keri Nola—matriarch of the Receptivity Portal for Healing Entrepreneurs—to talk about her journey from struggling with sensitivity to embracing it as a gift.
“I used to really curse my sensitivity. It felt like such a negative thing, because it made navigating the world so hard.”
Show Notes:
For so many women, being highly sensitive can feel like a burden, like a barrier to navigating the world. It doesn’t have to be. We don’t have to be at odds with our environment or the situations around us. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Matyland and Delaware., and a mid-life women’s life coach, welcomes back Keri Nola, best-selling author, coach, podcaster and founder of the Receptivity Portal for Healing Entrepreneurs for a conversation about being a highly sensitive person (HSP) in a “Go, Go, Go!” world. They reflect on how they experienced their sensitivity as they were growing up and came to recognize it for what it is, they share tips for how they avoid anxiety and overwhelm, and talk about all the positives they now associate with being highly sensitive.
