#HighlySensitivePeople #Introverts: Does Fear Mean You’ll Die With Your Best Ideas?

Highly sensitive people are wired for creativity.It’s in our blood.Our nervous systems notice details others miss.We feel deeply.We imagine vividly. So here’s the uncomfortable question:Why are so many of us not creating? We tell ourselves we’re too busy.Too tired.Not good enough.Waiting for the “right” time. But here’s the truth I had to face:Fear of judgment was running the show.And I was letting it. When I put my writing out there—my blog, my book-in-progress, my newsletter posts—I knew some people wouldn’t like it. Some wouldn’t get it. Some would judge me.I did it anyway.Because waiting for universal approval is how creativity dies. And here’s the other trap: distraction.We say we don’t have time. But we always make time for what we decide matters—like eating, scrolling, or…

#HighlySensitivePeople #Introverts: You’re Probably Making This Huge Mistake!

#HighlySensitivePeople #Introverts: You’re Probably Making This Huge Mistake! If you’re like me, there’s one mistake you might be making without even realizing it—and it’s quietly shaping everything in your life. We expect people to understand us. We expect work to go smoothly. We expect relationships to be drama-free. But life doesn’t work that way. People disappoint. Health wavers. Plans fall apart. Here’s what’s fascinating: the results you get—good or bad—often match what you expect. Walk into a new situation bracing for disaster? You’ll find it. Walk in expecting the best? You’ll create it. Highly sensitive people have a secret advantage: we’re wired to notice patterns, feel deeply, and adjust quickly. That means we can rewrite our “expectation code.” We can train ourselves to expect possibilities…

#HighlySensitivePeople #Introverts: Your sensitivity is your strength. So use it!

Your Sensitivity Is Your Strength. So use it! A Girl Scout once sold 117 boxes of cookies outside a marijuana dispensary. Some called it controversial. I call it brilliant. She went where people were hungry—literally—and reaped the reward. It reminded me of when my daughter set a goal to sell 150 boxes. Instead of following the crowd around our suburban neighborhood (where houses were far apart and competition was high), I suggested something different. We drove to the next town. Condos. Closer together. Less walking. More doors. Fewer competition. She hit her goal in record time. That day, she learned two big lessons:*  Think differently.*  Work smarter. Highly sensitive people like us naturally see creative angles others miss. But do we trust that gift? The…

#HighlySensitivePeople #Introverts: Are You Bored or Just Underchallenged?

Are You Bored—or Just Underchallenged? For highly sensitive people, introverts or those with social anxiety, boredom isn’t just a passing mood—it’s a signal. A sign that your gifts, energy, and potential are being underused. Boredom Is a Wake-Up Call When your life lacks meaningful challenge or stimulation, boredom sets in. Left unchecked, it can spiral into anxiety, loneliness, and even depression. In some cases, it pushes people toward unhealthy escapes—addictions, impulsive decisions, or self-destructive habits. You’re Not Lazy. You’re Ready for More. Boredom often means your creative side is starving. What would light you up again? A new hobby? A class? Volunteering? Movement? Even a new pet? Personally, I've always loved collecting things like Coca Cola memorabilia, old books, and visiting flea markets and rock…
