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.
Latest Episodes
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 #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.
Episode #17: Recovery, Spirituality, and Purpose on the HSP Healing Journey
If you’ve ever felt the need to hide or numb your sensitivity with alcohol, other substances, or even Netflix and cake, then this episode is for you. I’m joined by Jane Elizabeth Aston who is a coach, writer, and researcher based in the UK.
We talk about the HSP journey through the lens of addiction and recovery, discovering our purpose, and leaning into spirituality as a guiding light. Jane’s story is deeply personal and relatable, and I hope it offers hope and wisdom for any HSPs out there who are seeking a more authentic and connected approach to life.
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!
