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 #28: Honoring Childhood and Adult Sensitivity Through Healing, Play, and Presence
Angelique Foye-Fletcher is a licensed therapist who works with highly sensitive children, adults, and families through play, presence, and neuroscience-informed healing. We talk about how early experiences shape our relationship with vulnerability, and why play isn’t just for kids but can also be a powerful tool for deeply feeling humans at any age.
If you’re a highly sensitive person who wants to know more about how presence and play can create safety both in our relationships and within ourselves, then this episode is for you.
Episode #26: Rethinking Parenting, Education, and Society Through the HSP Lens
In this episode, I sit down with Amy Vasterling — public speaker, author, teacher, and intuitive — to explore how HSPs can transform parenting, education, and society. Amy shares her personal journey growing up as a highly sensitive child and the insights she’s gained raising highly sensitive children of her own.
We also discuss the concept of expressive expansion, reframing the role of sensitivity to create systems that allow HSPs to pave the path to a thriving society that works for all.
Episode #21: Burnout, Brain Science, and Decision-Making for Highly Sensitive People
Today I’m joined by social science researcher and author Esther Bergsma. We talk about her research on HSP burnout, parenting highly sensitive children, and the complexities of the highly sensitive brain.
If you’ve ever wondered why you’re so exhausted after a normal workday or why decision-making feels harder for you than it seems for others, then this episode is for you.
Episode #16: Empowering HSPs Through Community and Connection
If you’ve ever felt the ache of loneliness and longing for deeper connection as a highly sensitive person, or wondered where you truly belong, then today’s episode is for you.
I’m joined by psychotherapist and community builder Cindy Gale, who has dedicated her work to empowering HSPs through both individual healing and the healing that comes with genuine connection. She shares her journey of discovering her own high sensitivity, why community is essential for our well-being, and the beautiful vision behind her innovative platform, HSP Connect. I hope you enjoy it!
Episode #15: Career Journeys, Motherhood, and Healing as a Highly Sensitive Person
In today’s episode, I’m turning the microphone inward to share my own story as a highly sensitive person. From discovering I was an HSP at just 19 — to navigating motherhood, career burnout, and a deep healing and spiritual journey — I’ll be sharing many of the challenges I’ve faced with my sensitivity along with the growth I’ve experienced over the years.
If you’re an HSP who has struggled with your confidence and finding the strength to stand up for your needs in the workplace or relationships, then this episode is for you. I hope you enjoy it!
