018 • Business, But Softer: Mindfulness & Sensitivity with Nina Müller

Ever been told you're “too sensitive”? Or maybe you’ve felt overwhelmed by the noise, pressure, or pace of entrepreneurship—especially when the world seems built for people who move fast and speak loud. If so, this episode might hit home.This week on Mind Your Own Biz, I’m joined by mindfulness teacher, certified holistic coach, and writer, Nina Müller. Nina specializes in working with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs)—a real, research-backed trait that means you process things more deeply and feel emotions (yours and others’) more intensely than the average person. It’s a trait that’s often misunderstood—but it doesn’t have to be a setback. In fact, Nina believes it can be your superpower.We talk about what it really means to honor your sensitivity instead of working against it—and how mindfulness can help you find a gentler, more sustainable way to do business.Whether you’re navigating a big life transition, feeling burned out, or just craving more ease in your workday, this episode is full of thoughtful insight (plus a grounding practice you can try right now).We also chat about:🧠 What mindfulness really is—and what it’s not🌿 What it’s like running a business as a highly sensitive person✨ Why emotional intensity can be a gift, not a flaw🌀 How to hold space for discomfort, slowness, and rest📣 How to find your voice (especially when you’re tired of trying to fit in)💡 Nina even leads us through a calming practice you can try during the episode!This episode is your gentle permission slip to stop hustling so hard and start honoring what actually feels good.
