Episode #50: Leading with Sensitivity, Purpose, and Psychological Safety with Anna Moretti
How highly sensitive leaders can embrace authenticity, heal perfectionism, and create psychologically safe workplaces where all people thrive.
Welcome back to The Happy HSP Podcast. I’m your host Kimberly Marshall, and today I’m joined by Anna Moretti. She’s a former leader in the pharmaceutical industry who left her corporate work to help highly sensitive women find clarity and confidence during their own leadership journey.
Together, we explore what it’s like to struggle with masking and perfectionism, and the common HSP experience of feeling both “too much” and never enough at the same time. So, if you’ve ever wondered how to reconnect with your natural desires on the path to authenticity, self-compassion, and meaningful work, then this episode is for you.
I hope you enjoy it!
Kim: Anna, thank you so much for joining me. It’s so great to see you.
Anna: Thank you for having me here, Kim.
Kim: Yeah. My first question for you is about your own journey with high sensitivity and how you found out about the trait and what that was like for you.
Anna: That’s a beautiful question to get started. So, my journey with high sensitivity, I think it started five or six years ago when I first read the book by Elaine Aron’s The Highly Sensitive Person. And that was very interesting. I read it. A lot of descriptions resonated with me, but then I closed the book, and I put it back on the shelf, and I went on with my own life.
So, at that time, I think I was so much disconnected from my own sensitivity that I didn’t really understand the impact of the highly sensitive thread on my own life. And so only last year then something different happened because my son who is now 13, so last year he was 12 years old, he started having a lot of challenges and struggles in school. And so, I started trying to understand what’s going on with him.
And a friend of mine recommended me to read a book, which is another one and more specific for highly sensitive children. And so I read this other book, and then I took off the shelf the Elaine Aron book again and I read it again and I was trying to connect all the dots, and I started really understanding, and maybe because I was looking at it for my son first rather than myself that it was easier for me to observe on him. And then for him the journey has been quite long, and it’s still ongoing.
So, I think for sure he’s highly sensitive, but I also think that ... So no, he went into another number of assessments like high potential and then neurodivergence assessments. So for him it’s not just high sensitivity. There is of course something else going on. But for me, it was really the point in time when I started thinking about high sensitivity also for myself.
It’s something that it’s going on for me as well. And so, I discovered, for example, that in Italy there is since the two years I think an official association for highly sensitive people who has been founded by Dr. Elena Lupo. And I know that she was a guest here on your podcast, right?
Kim: I love the work she’s doing in Italy. It’s incredible.
Anna: She’s great. And then now attending a training with her. But back at the time, that was a year ago, like January, February last year, I started downloading from the website of the association all her webinars, all the trainings, everything that I could find. I signed up for workshops. I really felt like I need to know more about this. And so, I understood, if I want to support my child, I need to reconnect with my own sensitivity first. And so that was a pivotal moment for me when I really started not just understanding high sensitivity from a cognitive perspective, just learning about it and all the research behind it. Because I do have a scientific background. I’m a pharmacist by degree. So, I was also very much interested in the science behind it, but that felt like it’s not enough. I really felt the need to go deeper in reconnecting with my own sensitivity.
And so first I started a coaching engagement with a coach specialized in high sensitivity. And then I felt like this is yet not enough. And I found through the website Elaine Aron, she has a list of therapists and coaches. So, I picked an Italian therapist who specialized as well in high sensitivity, and I’m still on this journey with her because I really felt the need to look back at my entire life through the lens of high sensitivity.
And this is a lot of work, right? Now I’m 48. Last year I was 47. So, if you have to revisit 47 years of your life. Yeah.
Kim: It’s going to take a while. Yeah.
Anna: Yes. But I felt like this is so much needed. This is like a must-have. I cannot move forward if I’m not taking the time and the energy and the effort to do this work. So that was for me super important. First of all, to be able to support my son, that was my priority at that time. Even before myself, I wanted to be able to support him. And so, for me, it has been a very transformational journey because looking back, I think I grew up feeling always defective and feeling like on one hand side I am too much and at the same time never enough. So, there was this inconsistency.
Kim: Can’t win.
Anna: Yes. Yeah. And so, I think the psychological support I think was very much needed for me to go through all of this with someone who can understand the high sensitivity and also who can understand trauma and adverse childhood experiences and these types of things.
Because for me it was also, I had a lot of questions and confusion about looking back this experience because I was and I am highly sensitive or was something else and something more. So being able to differentiate and also to understand that in many, many situations the two things played in synergy. So, both were true at the same time.
Kim: Got it. Right.
Anna: And so that was very transformative for me.
Kim: I feel like so many of us go through that. It’s like once we hit that kind of threshold where we see there’s something going on there that maybe we can’t help or that we’re born with or that’s part of us in a way, like you said, going back looking at why did I feel so different in that moment? There’s a fear. I don’t know if you felt this, but I felt growing up, like that fear of something is really wrong with me. It’s not even that I’m different or I’m having trouble fitting in. It’s like something’s wrong. It’s scary as a child to feel like there’s something wrong with you.
Anna: Yes, yes. And then of course you develop all those protective mechanisms and coping strategies. Yes. And people pleasing and perfectionism and hyper achieving. So, I have to say, I had a successful life. I built a career in pharma, in global pharmaceutical companies, I held leadership roles. So, from the outside, I was very successful at some point last year during this transformational journey for me, I felt like I’m not living my own life. This is someone else’s life.
Kim: Yeah. I love that you say this because I think I did the same thing. I masked my emotional, strong responses with intelligence like, okay, maybe I’m too emotional and I have strong emotions, but at least I’m smart and I can do this and I can do that. But after a while it’s like something’s missing, and that deeper part of us is calling to us and we’re like being begged to look at this. And for you, it sounds like that was your son helped open up that for you. It’s like, yeah, we put up that wall, like the emotional part of it sometimes is scary for us, but so we lean into the intelligence, but yeah, that was my experience. I’m not sure if you can relate.
Anna: Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. And that led me last year to take a brave decision and I decided to quit. I quit completely my job and yes, I really felt like I need to find a deeper purpose. It’s also a little bit weird because if you work in pharmaceutical and you do medicines for patients, you do have a purpose, of course. It’s not that it’s not a purposeful job, but I really felt like I want to do something where I can see my impact and where I really feel fulfilled, like that this is what I’m doing is truly aligned with who I am.
Kim: Yes.
Anna: Yes. And so, because I came across coaching already during my job in pharma, because as a people leader, coaching was sponsored as a tool to support your team members and people development. So, I became very passionate already four or five years ago about coaching and then I decided to take a proper ICF-accredited certification on my own, and I started practicing because you need to build up the hours.
And so last year I felt like I want to go full into coaching and because of my leadership experience and because of my very recent knowledge around the high sensitivity, my mission became very, very clear, and I wanted to support female leaders in leadership being highly sensitive and finding their way to embrace their sensitivity and lead from their sensitivity and from their kindness and from their care and not feeling overwhelmed by the environment and still being authentic in their leadership style and feel like I’m still respected because sometimes I think especially in those environments like corporate environments, you have the perception that has like sensitivity in general, high sensitivity is perceived as a weakness.
There is this bias or stereotype, I don’t know, that to be a leader, you need to be strong, you need to be loud, you need to be very authoritarian. And this is not my style, and this I think cannot be the style of a highly sensitive leader, but I do think that highly sensitive leaders can bring so many gifts, and that the working environment can benefit so much from highly sensitive people in senior leadership roles. So, this is now my mission, given my experience in leadership and from leadership and my knowledge in highly sensitivity now, this is what I want to do.
Kim: It’s such a beautiful mission, too, because I’m with you. I feel like this work, well, A, it’s so important, but B, it comes from within like the people that you’re working with when HSPs, especially in leadership, have their confidence, like we’re unstoppable. We have the confidence, we have the intelligence, we have the emotional capacity to be leaders. I think it’s when we don’t fit in socially, we think there’s something wrong with us and that we’re not able to do it, so we don’t believe in ourselves and we almost block our own progress in this way.
Anna: Yes.
Kim: And we have so much to offer as leaders because we see all the angles, we connect all the dots. There’s more that we can offer. But to your point, a lot of us in the corporate environment, we’re just kind of like steamrolled over because everyone is loud and making rash decisions when we prefer to kind of think things through. So yeah, it’s a different type of leadership style, but I don’t know, it’s these conversations that are changing things, I believe.
Anna: Yeah. And I think we need to talk more about this and bring examples from leaders that can really lead from sensitivity and not despite sensitivity. So, I’m really committed to bring this topic also in corporate and I think not just through coaching, like supporting one-on-one women leaders, and I focus on women because I have a passion for women in leadership, but as you know, high sensitivity is equally distributed between women and men.
Kim: Yeah, 100%. Exactly.
Anna: I think beside the one-on-one coaching support that I can give to individuals, I would like also to go to corporate to raise awareness, just to have like webinars or lunch and learns and these type of things also to HR departments to raise this is a thing. There is science behind it. There is scientific research because we don’t talk enough about, or we don’t talk at all about it.
Kim: So, what would you say? What would you say if you were in front of these corporate people, what would you share?
Anna: I think I would start from the basics, like the numbers like percentage of highly sensitive people in the population-
Kim: Yeah, by the way.
Anna: Equally distributed between men and women is not just a women right that is associated more with weakness and it’s more of a cultural thing. And this is why I think that men are hiding it even more than women because socially and culturally it’s not acceptable that a men is sensitive, right?
Kim: Right. I have friends who are higher up in their companies and they work with HSP men, and they tell me all the time, because we have these conversations, but not so much openly and in public, but behind the scenes. And some of them have the confidence to say like, “I really want to give you a great answer on that, but I’m going to have to talk to you tomorrow. I need a minute to think about it.” There’s other ways to just kind of share your solutions, and it doesn’t have to be in the moment or off the top of your head, it can be more thought-out and considered.
Anna: Yeah. And I think the other thing which would be really, really important to talk about is how highly sensitive people are more impacted by the environment they are in. So, they can thrive in a very nurturing and psychologically safe environment, and they can really struggle and being challenged when the environment is not supportive.
So, imagine in corporate like in a team, in an organization, you have almost 30% of the population who is highly sensitive. So, 30% of your team members are highly sensitive, and you are not at all considering this. How much hidden talent you have that is just untapped, and you could really unlock just creating the right environment for them to thrive. So, I think this is also about because corporations are always looking for ways to improve performance, but this is exactly a way that you can really unlock potential from the people you already have.
You do not need to look for other talents somewhere else. You already have such a great pool of talents in your own workforce. It’s just a matter to be able to bring those talents and gifts to the surface and let them flourish and use those talents for achieving the company goals.
Kim: That’s such a beautiful point. It’s like you have the talent there, you’re just not creating the right environment where it can come to the surface. Yes. What’s your thought on that? What can we change in corporations environment-wise to help bring these?
Anna: So, my idea is said is raise awareness and have more and more highly sensitive leaders in senior positions so that they can change the culture because this is the thing, you need to have a sort of a critical mass of humans. And it doesn’t mean that all the senior leaders should be highly sensitive. I think it’s sufficient that they are human-centered and have a basic empathy and a basic understanding of psychological safety. And then once the environment is the right one for everyone to thrive. So, it’s not just for highly sensitive ... It’s not that we need to create something special for highly sensitive people, everyone will benefit from that.
Kim: Exactly. Right. When you give more HSPs a stronger platform, not only us, but a good percentage, it’s almost like we would be able to help the whole rise and be more with the psychological safety, you do nervous system work, that is all part of it because we all know scientifically that we are able to perform at a higher level when we are psychologically safe, which is not the case in a lot of corporations.
Just the way that people lead, it just makes people feel very unsafe and almost like we’re plugging along for KPIs and numbers and it’s never good enough and there’s all this competition when it’s like, if you could just step back a moment, slow down and create this psychological safety, well, your employees would feel much more comfortable being more innovative, being more thoughtful.
Anna: And I’m not saying that it will be easy or comfortable. No, comfortable, not at all, not at all. But I think that this is the way to go and I’m personally very committed and I’m positive and hopeful. I think there is so much more that we can uncover and see the impact that we could have incorporated in society at large.
Kim: Yeah. I’m with you. And I love that you’re going the ICF route. I just got my certification in January. It’s such a beautiful process because I’d love to hear your experience with it. But what I loved about the coaching process is that I think people think coaching is like telling people what to do and explaining.
Yeah. But the program that you and I have gone through and the hours that we’ve spent learning, it’s more being present and aware with your clients and helping them figure out what works for them and just kind of being that space. What’s your experience with that?
Anna: I’m totally with you and actually even in corporate, I always have to explain the difference between coaching and mentoring, for example, because mentoring is someone who is sharing his or her experience while in coaching, you are not giving any advice. You are not telling people what to do. As you said, you are just holding the space for them to be able to be present and to tap into the resources that they do already have within themselves.
So, it’s not about finding something new or something else or it’s really going back to yourself and who you are. So, it’s more of an unlearning all the conditioning and the protective mechanisms that we have been putting on during our life and really being able to uncover ourselves and be truly connected with who we are. And I think from that place of alignment, then you can do beautiful things.
Kim: Yeah. Finding that alignment, that’s it 100%. And it ties back to the masking. When we’re trying to figure out what we want our life, it’s usually based on what people think or how we think we should be showing up. But yeah, the coaching process, when done correctly and in a way that’s actually helpful, it kind of unearths what you want, what’s good for you and helps you step into your power versus giving advice or telling what to do because no one likes to be told what to do. That doesn’t work. Yeah. The people that come in for coaching are just as capable. They’re just maybe stuck in ways and you just help them uncover what that is.
So, what do you struggle with when it comes to your high sensitivity? What are your challenges?
Anna: I think my main, main challenge I’m still working a lot on is about rejection sensitivity and could be just my perception of being rejected. So, I still find myself having strong emotions and strong reactions whenever I feel like I think I am rejected, maybe I’m not. So just the idea that this might be possible, that it’s driving me crazy. And I’m still exploring actually how much is this just connected to high sensitivity versus maybe experiences from my past that can be amplified or can amplify the response in that moment. So, this is still something I’m exploring and trying to work on. But yeah, that’s a pain point for me.
Kim: Yeah. I feel like it’s a tough one for us, especially when you were saying that I was hearing the word again, just that perfectionism because I feel like we spend so much time working on ourselves and being that perfect person so that we don’t experience that rejection. So, when it happens, it’s almost like, for me, I don’t want to speak for you, like a fear response, like what didn’t I get right or what am I still doing wrong?
Anna: Just a confirmation about this sensation that something is wrong with me ,and here you go, you see?
Kim: Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. You’re telling me there’s something wrong with me now it’s true. Yeah.
Anna: It’s a very powerful, vicious cycle, so that you get in and so I learned that I think it takes a lot.
Kim: I’m so with you because we just take that and we internalize it and we beat ourselves up and there’s some acceptance there and grace and kindness that we can have for ourselves that no one’s perfect and we’re all learning and growing. Yeah.
Anna: Yeah. But I think I’ve learned how to be much more compassionate to myself and to others as well, but to myself, I think that was the part which was very much missing for me. I could be very compassionate to other people, but not very, very critical to myself. And now I started being much more compassionate
Kim: Yeah, that’s important. It’s a game-changer.
Anna: Yes.
Kim: We’re still working on ourselves, that’s for sure.
Anna: Yeah. And I think one of the things that I’m still experiencing is mental and emotional overload in general. And I think it’s not about removing completely. So, I will always experience from time to time mental or emotional overload, I think, because things are just happening and maybe they are happening too many at the same time or too fast and this is the thing. So, I’m working more on understanding early signs of this overload. So, when it’s coming that I can stop, I can take a break, I can set some more boundaries. I can ask for help. That’s something that was totally new to me. I grew up like I am independent. I can do everything on my own. I will never ask for help because asking for help seems like I’m not capable, or it’s weak, and now no, it’s okay to ask for help.
So, if I see I’m struggling or I’m having some difficulties because of some kind of overload, either mental or emotional, I’m also very much aware I can ask for help, and that’s so much important. I think the awareness changed a lot, not the overload in itself because this will stay, I guess.
Kim: Yeah, it’ll always surface. Right. It’s what do we do about it? It’s how do we understand what’s happening in the moment so that we can not let it get out of hand?
Anna: Yes. And, of course, sometimes I’m better in the technique the early signs and do something about it and some other times maybe I go still too far, but it’s a journey and we learn day by day.
Kim: And a balancing act. It’s a balancing. But I love your point about the awareness because yeah, that’s where it starts when you’re aware that things are kind of getting ... And two, I just keep hearing this theme a lot. Maybe it’s because I talk to so many HSPs in general, but I feel like it’s a theme throughout that like everyone’s kind of realizing that our lives are so busy and so chaotic that it’s just not feasible. Like you said, we grew up in a culture that’s very much suck it up and be strong and push through and people are realizing like that just doesn’t work. We can be gentler with our schedules. We can be gentler with our work. We can be gentler with our lives, and we don’t have to be so tough and push through all the time. It’s not always the best for our mental health.
Anna: Yeah, absolutely. And one thing that I try to do quite often is going for a walk, for example. So if during the day I need to take a pause and take a break, I live quite close to the forest, so I can just go out and the contact with nature for me is very nourishing, and I can benefit a lot from that, like being in the forest or maybe seeing some animals like I can see birds and squirrel and frogs, whatever. It makes me feel so like this sense of wonder, and I can really slow down, and it’s a rebalancing way to restore the right energy within my body and to calm down my nervous system. I think this is very important to me and very much needed because the way that our nervous system is always a little bit more alerted. So, it’s so easy to go into chronic alert or chronic stress.
So, we need to find those ways and maybe everyone has different ways to calm our nervous system down and rebalance.
Kim: Love that so much. It’s funny you mentioned that because I’ve been working really hard on building a more gentle and nurturing daily practice. The old me would’ve just worked, worked, worked, worked, worked and then I’m exhausted at the end of the day and I need to relax. But now I’m like, get up a little earlier, work for an hour or two, go for a walk by the river, calm down, come back to your work. And I know not everyone has that kind of schedule, but to your point, just making and cutting out the time during the day to regenerate the energy. I don’t know, it’s just such more of a grounded space to be doing hard stuff.
Anna: And I’m thinking when I cannot go out, maybe it’s raining and I don’t want to go out. I have my cats here at home. And just few minutes, yes, with them. I can pet them and I put my hand on their belly, and I feel how calm they can breathe. And this is already soothing me and calming me down. It’s a way to coregulate. I find this so beautiful. I don’t know. I have a special bond with my cats.
Kim: Yeah. Finding what works for you, what really brings you back into the moment. It’s really helpful.
Anna: Yes.
Kim: So, what do you love about your high sensitivity? What do you celebrate about this trait?
Anna: Well, for sure as mentioned, the connection with nature and this wonder about the beauty that nature can create like in landscapes or little details or animals and trees and flowers, all of that. But I think it’s also feeling I am part of something bigger. So, it’s not just the connection with nature itself. It’s like me being part of something bigger. And I don’t know if this is going more into the spirituality. Yeah.
Kim: Yes.
Anna: So, this is something that I definitely enjoy about me being highly sensitive. Another thing is I think the sense of purpose. So now that I have this very meaningful mission, and I wake up in the morning and I feel very motivated and I can be very energized, this is giving me positive energy. And so, I feel very grateful for that.
I think it has a strong impact on my wellbeing. If I wake up and I feel motivated and energized versus I wake up and I feel drained already 7:00 AM in the morning and I don’t want to go into my day because I know I have, I don’t know, plenty of meetings or how my corporate life looked like before. So, the sense of purpose, I think, which is typical of highly sensitive people is also very important to me and something that I’m enjoying, especially now that I am connected to my sensitivity because before it wasn’t like that.
Kim: And your body knows to your point about feeling connected to something bigger, to that core purpose. I truly believe that when we are in that place of searching and why isn’t this working, it’s like this is what we’re trying to find, that piece that does make us feel connected to our purpose, to the bigger picture. We just have such more of this awareness about that and that need.
Anna: Yes. Yes. And what else? I think maybe the other thing, the depth of processing, so how my brain operates and all the connections that he can make between different things and the curiosity and also the level of self-awareness that I can reach. I think this is also something I feel very grateful for, that I can truly experience my life in a very meaningful way from this self-awareness.
Kim: Absolutely.
Anna: So, I think this is also something that I like to connect to high sensitivity.
Kim: Yeah. I think as we move along and do all the self-awareness, we realize that not everybody has that and not that that’s a good or bad thing or that we’re better than, I’m with you. I’m grateful about that because I can see that there’s a difference when we are so disconnected from ourselves, and we’ve felt that. I felt that before I was able to connect to myself. So yeah, it feels good to be in this place of more self-awareness.
Anna: And maybe another thing that is coming to mind is about enjoying my relationship with other people, not just feeling connected to nature, to animals, but really being deeply connected and feeling deeply connected to other human beings. Also, this is something that I enjoy very much. So that’s a common theme for me. Also in my work, being able to be in a relationship with someone else that’s giving me so much joy. It’s really fulfilling for me.
Kim: So, what advice would you give other HSPs who may be struggling with their sensitivity? What would you say?
Anna: Well, first of all, I would like to say that there is hope You don’t have to struggle for your entire life. There is hope to be able to be happy and find your meaning in your life. So that’s the first thing. And then I think I would start with the awareness because I think this is the foundation and so awareness about the HSP trait but also awareness about yourself. So how the high sensitivity played in your life given your circumstances and experiences and family where you grew up and all of that.
So, the two aspects of awareness. And then I think the next point is being able to integrate because I think the shift for me has been from seeing sensitivity as like something I have like a problem or a challenge or a load. So, shifting from that vision, like it’s something that I have and it’s heavy and causing me issues to something that it’s a part of me. It’s my own essence. It is my nature. It’s me. So, I think this shift.
So, then you start integrating your sensitivity in all what you do in all your experiences and you can then really enjoy the gifts of sensitivity, and you start rebalancing the challenges or the balance. Because as we said, you will always encounter some overload like mental or emotional, but it is the way you relate to the situation. And so, when you are able to accept, fully accept your sensitivity as a part of yourself, then it is when you are able to really enjoy yourself, your life, your experiences.
Kim: That’s such a great point. It’s almost like that shift from seeing it as a burden to letting it move through you and be part of you so that you could just be more of yourself without the weight.
Anna: Yes, because most of the weight is our masking or hiding or pushing back, pushing away. So it takes so much energy. It’s exhausting. Yeah.
Kim: Amazing. Anna, thank you so much for sharing that. That was really beautiful.
Anna: Yeah. Maybe very last advice that is coming to mind is you don’t have to go through this journey alone because as I was saying, I felt the strong need to ask for help, and I’m one of those who never ask for help. But this is really important because I think it can get you unstuck and or accelerate so much your transformational journey. So you start enjoying yourself and your life much earlier. If you go through this with someone who is able to support you and guide you, especially like a coach or a therapist who is also informed about and specialized in high sensitivity, I think this can really make the difference as well.
Kim: It’s such a great point. And I’ve had that experience too. It’s like you sit there and you say, “I can do this on my own.” Yes, you can. But there comes a point where when you do ask for help, especially for someone from someone who is maybe a little farther along on their journey or can help you see things about yourself that you were maybe blind to, it just helps push that forward so much more. I wouldn’t say comfortably, but maybe that’s a good word, comfortably and more quickly you can see results faster.
Anna: Yes. Yes. And also just being in this space, like having this conversation, the two of us and people listening to this conversation that they can really hear real-life stories. I think this is such a gift that you are giving out in the world. So thank you. I feel very grateful. Thank you.
Kim: You. I’m so grateful you were able to join me. Where can people follow along on your journey?
Anna: Well, they can find me on LinkedIn or at my website, www.highlysensitivecoach.com.
Kim: Beautiful.
Anna: Yeah.
Kim: Awesome. Well, thank you so much for joining me today. I really appreciated having you.
Anna: Thank you for having me. I enjoyed our conversation. Thank you.
Thank you so much for listening in on my conversation with Anna. I hope it reminds you that effective leadership comes in all forms, including sensitive ones. When we have the confidence to lead with our true nature and create psychological safety for those around us…a gift that so many HSPs embody naturally…we help others rise into their own strength, power, and creativity, improving not only our workplaces but also the world around us.
Until next time. Take care!
