If Sensitivity Is a Feature, Why Do We Keep Treating It as a Bug? | #96

from MYBREATHINGMIND Hosted by Ruth

Somewhere along the way, sensitivity became something to hide — especially at work. But what if that framing is exactly backwards? In this episode, we look at what sensitivity actually is (not what we've been told it is), why certain environments systematically train it out of people, and what gets lost when that happens. If you've ever been told you're too perceptive, too tuned in, or that you feel things too much — this one's worth your time. Find out why you're still exhausted and your biggest area for relief at mybreathingmind.com My Breathing Mind Podcast is created for professionals navigating stress, burnout, and the journey back to themselves. All episodes are written and produced .l;/by Ruth Kao Barr, burnout specialist, leadership & wellbeing coach.
