Happy HSP
The
Podcast
Are you a highly sensitive person (HSP) who often feels overwhelmed, misunderstood, or out of place in the world around you? Then The Happy HSP Podcast is just for you, and I’m so glad you’re here.
My name is Kimberly Marshall, and I’m your host. Join me weekly as I dive deep into the personal stories of everyday HSPs. We’ll explore what it means to live life with heightened sensitivity and discover the many reasons to celebrate our gentle nature.
Each episode features an inspiring conversation with an HSP who shares what they love about their sensitivity, what they struggle with, and the powerful strategies they’ve used to find happiness and peace in a world that can easily overwhelm us.

Episode #39: The Power of Presence and Quiet for Highly Sensitive People with Anna Forsline
Today, I’m joined by Anna Forsline, who is a coach, facilitator, and highly sensitive person who helps other HSPs reconnect with their intuition, reclaim their personal power, and live in alignment with who they truly are.
We talk about the power of meditation, what it’s really like to attend silent retreats, how to live authentically, and the deep inner shift that happens when we honor our needs instead of abandoning ourselves to fit in.
So, if you’re an HSP who’s wondered how to reconnect with your true self and what’s the big deal about going inward during quiet meditation, then this episode is for you.
Episode #38: High Sensitivity, Women’s Health, and the Cost of “Powering Through” with Maria Saucedo
Today I’m joined by PhD student and women’s health advocate Maria Saucedo. Together, we explore the nuances of overstimulation, what happens when we consistently cross our personal thresholds, and the constant pressure as HSPs to fit in and “power through.”
We also dive into women’s health, cyclical energy, and how science and lived experience blend to shape our lives. So, if you’ve ever wondered why you react so strongly after being pushed past your limits, or you’ve been afraid that your sensitivity was the symptom of a mental health disorder, then this episode is for you.
Episode #37: Healing, Awakening, and the Journey Back to Self as an HSP With Nicole Peterhans
Today’s conversation is all about the power of healing and what it truly means to come home to yourself as a highly sensitive person.
I’m joined by Energy Alignment & Empowerment Coach Nicole Peterhans, and together we talk about the ways sensitivity can shape our childhood, how our fears and insecurities can grow when we don’t feel fully seen or understood, and what can happen when we realize there is far more to who we are than the roles we’ve been living.
If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, hiding your voice, questioning your intuition, or feeling like something in your life just isn’t aligning, this episode is for you.
Episode #36: Redesigning Career and Success as a Highly Sensitive Person with Krista Casey
Today, I’m joined by holistic life and career coach Krista Casey. She’s an ex-creative director for global brands like Wayfair and New Balance who now helps other HSPs and expats design lives and careers that feel authentic and aligned with their values.
We talk about her journey from corporate burnout to coaching and explore the importance of knowing how to manage our nervous systems, set healthy boundaries, and recognize our people-pleasing tendencies.
So, if you’re an HSP who longs to explore ways to design a career that actually fits who you are and you’re realizing that the old definitions of career and success just aren’t working anymore, then this episode is for you.
Episode #35: High Sensitivity, Creativity, and the Art of “Being,” with Andy Mort
Today, I’m joined by UK-based songwriter, artist, creativity coach, and host of The Gentle Rebel Podcast Andy Mort.
We discuss what it means to live creatively without chasing productivity metrics, and how highly sensitive people can find meaning, purpose, and alignment without forcing themselves into linear paths or hustle culture ideals.
This episode is a gentle invitation to slow down, allow ourselves to feel deeply, and reconnect with our creative spirit as a way of being in the world, rather than a means to an end.
