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 #47: Healing Through Consciousness and Rewiring the Mind-Body Connection for HSPs with Kathrine Anker
Today I’m joined by mind-body practitioner and nervous system educator Kathrine Anker.
We explore the power of our mind-body connection and how highly sensitive people can heal through consciousness. We talk about the benefits of being present and aware, how the nervous system plays a role in chronic stress and illness, and why so many of us have learned to override our natural intuition.
So, if you’ve always wondered whether your sensitivity was working against you or trying to communicate something deeper, then this episode is for you.
Episode #29: The Transformative Power of Authenticity, Neuroscience, and Psychosomatic Work for HSPs
Today I’m joined by Elena Lupo. She’s an Italian psychologist, NLP practitioner, author, and a leading voice in high sensitivity research and education in Italy. In this episode, we explore what happens when a highly sensitive person stops trying to fit in and instead begins living in alignment with their true nature.
We talk about authenticity, nervous system regulation, and psychosomatic work — especially as it relates to how the body holds our experiences, defenses, and our unspoken stories. Elena shares her personal journey in high sensitivity in and around the cultural challenges of growing up as an HSP in Italy, and how honoring her sensitivity can led to profound healing and transformation of her life.
Episode #2: An Alcohol-Free HSP’s Journey to Self-Love
Today I’m joined by Gretchen Bergantine, also known as The Alcohol-Free HSP. She’s a Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach, a fellow highly sensitive person, and a very dear friend of mine. In this episode, she shares her powerful journey of self-discovery, sobriety, and spiritual awakening — that had all been sparked by one unexpected moment during the COVID pandemic.
We talk about the turning point that led her to quit drinking, what it was like to nourish herself as an HSP in ways that didn’t involve alcohol, and how embracing her sensitivity opened doors for her to pursue deep healing and personal growth.
