29: Gently Building a Relationship with Yourself as an HSP

Sensitive Stories

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and your needs? In this episode, I talk with Elizabeth Cush, LCPC about being more gentle with yourself and:
• Finding your way to acceptance of your sensitivity through self-compassion
• Practicing simple acts of mindfulness to understand what you need moment to moment
• Slowing down to nurture all parts of yourself and your life
• Living a balanced life with less overwhelm
Elizabeth is a life coach for highly sensitive women, a licensed clinical professional counselor, and business owner. She’s also the host of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast. She incorporates the body, mind, and spirit into her work. As a life coach, she helps sensitive women who feel stressed and overwhelmed find balance, flow, and ease to fully enjoy the beautiful life they’ve created. When she’s not working she’s traveling, and hanging outdoors with her husband and dachshund Elvis.
