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.

We talk about how energy levels, nutrition, and even brain function can play a much bigger role in our health than we realize. So, if you’re wondering why you’re always feeling so exhausted, overstimulated, or downright hangry — and if there’s anything you can do about it —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 #18: Wisdom, Self-Discovery, and Adventure for High-Sensation Seeking HSPs
Today I’m joined by Annet van Duinen and Randy Grasser, and together we explore how embracing both depth and adventure can lead to a great sense of freedom and authenticity.
We talk about the challenges of suppressing who we are, and what it means to live in that “goldilocks zone” between feeling completely safe and taking risks for the sake of growth, and how to gain lots of wisdom along the way. So, if you’ve ever felt that friction between living as a highly sensitive person and embarking on a more adventurous lifestyle, then this conversation is for you.
