Are you a highly sensitive person and often wonder why you’re so different from most people? Well, according to the author of The Highly Sensitive Person book, Dr. Elaine Aron, it is perfectly normal to be a highly sensitive person, and it’s found in 15-20% of the population.
Highly sensitive people are unique and have “superpower” abilities that are mostly not welcome in our world. But did you know you don’t always have to run everyone’s energy or take care of everyone, especially as an entrepreneur? You need your energy to do the work you’re here to do and fulfill your purpose by existing in your own creative process.
In this episode of the Brave School Podcast, I share my highly sensitive and intuitive experience from childhood to suffering in the corporate world to building my nervous system resilience to thrive. I talk about the tools that I picked along the way to help me connect and feel the true power of my creative voice without overriding my nervous system.

Remember that you’re a special powerful being that can bring support to yourself without feeling like you’re a victim of the world because you’re not.
“The world is going to figure it out more when we allow ourselves to be who we are and stay strong in that.” [33:06]

Carly Mountain, author of Descent & Rising: Women's Stories and Embodying the Inanna Myth, joins the podcast to discuss the psychospiritual descent to soul and the wildly misunderstood sacred rites of passage that many women secretly experience. She emphasizes the importance of calling this wisdom back into the lives of women and normalizing the nature of both descent and rising as part of the feminine path. Carly explores the concept of sacrifice and the need to let go of certain aspects of ourselves in order to rise and embody our true selves. She also highlights the role of desire and pleasure in the journey of descent and rising, and the importance of compassion for ourselves and others as we navigate these transformative processes.
There's something that happens when we walk through a soul-level initiation: we discover that we may have extrasensory gifts. These gifts don't often feel like "gifts" at first. Sometimes they feel intense, like the veil is a bit thinner than we thought before. If you're like many people, you take to google to try and figure out what's happening to you. Perhaps you have dreams or premonitions about things that haven't happened yet. Perhaps you feel more sensitive to other people and environments. These experience may sound cool and exciting, but they are not always pleasant. They come with a tax to the body. It doesn't always feel pleasant to perceive the mixing of many people's energetic cocktails through your one little body. It's not always fun to wake up from dreams that feel prophetic, but a have a tinge of fear or darkness that we may not feel comfortable holding or working with.
