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 #45: Parenting Highly Sensitive Children and Managing Big Emotions with Dr. Genevieve von Lob
Today I’m joined by clinical psychologist, conscious parenting coach, and author Dr. Genevieve von Lob. We talk about how highly sensitive children experience the world, why disciplining them often backfires, and what young HSPs actually need when it comes to navigating big emotions.

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 #11: The HSP Journey in Empathy and Quiet Leadership
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to shrink yourself to be liked, hide your emotions, or embrace a leadership style that felt inauthentic, this conversation is for you.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Barbara Allen-Williams. She’s a therapist, a speaker on high sensitivity, and the author of The Little Book of HSP Wisdom. In this conversation, we talk about how HSPs can embrace authenticity and step into leadership roles with more ease, grace, and impact. We explore why empathy is the foundation for relationship-building, ways to honor our HSP needs, and how sensitivity can be a powerful asset in leadership and life.
Episode #10: An Honest Conversation About HSP Men and Modern Masculinity
Today I’m excited to share with you an episode I recorded with William Allen. He’s a renowned author, blogger, podcaster, and advocate for highly sensitive men.
In this powerful and timely conversation, William shares his experience growing up as a sensitive boy in a southern and conservative culture, and we also chat about how the expectations in our society in and around masculinity can impact the mental health of highly sensitive men. We dig into what happens when men feel the need to suppress their emotions, and how embracing sensitivity can build a path toward deeper healing — not only for men, but for every HSP.
Episode #9: High Sensitivity and a New Lens on Life
Today I’m joined by Dr. Sandra Clifton — she’s an educator, therapist, life coach, and an advocate for HSPs in education and mental health.
In this episode, she shares how discovering her sensitivity gave her a new lens on life, and how that personal understanding led to her mission of reframing how sensitivity is understood in the workplace, at the doctor’s office, and in the classroom.
