Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) in Motherhood with Alissa Boyer

Growing up I was called a diva because I needed things to be a certain way. For example, I remember taking out the batteries of all the clocks in our home because I couldn't stand the endless tick-tock noise. Fast forward into adulthood, when I finally learned that these aren’t just charming traits about me, but I’m actually a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) – an individual who is thought to have an increased or deeper central nervous system sensitivity to physical, emotional, or social stimuli. When I became a mother, all of the things that made me an HSP became magnified, sometimes this was a good thing, but more often than not it made daily life feel so overwhelming. This is why I’m so excited to have Alissa Boyer, a Mentor for HSPs, on the show today. She helps  HSPs learn how to unapologetically embrace their sensitivity and use it as a strength in their lives – including in motherhood! If any of this is resonating, this is the episode for you.
