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 #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.

Today, I’m joined by Nicola McDonald, she’s a writing coach and author who shares how she was able to shift from denying her sensitivity to embracing and loving it, wholeheartedly.
It’s packed with inspiration and understanding in and around themes of rejection and self-acceptance, with lots of encouragement and wisdom along the way. I hope you enjoy it!
Episode #6: Introversion, Burnout, and Rediscovering the Sacred HSP Self
Today, I’m joined by HSP life coach Janelle Lindemuth, who shares with me her journey from being constantly burned out in a corporate work environment to easing into a grounded and spiritual path that aligned more closely with her needs as an HSP.
After she began questioning the root cause of her heightened sensitivity and finally accepted the trait as a gift, she discovered the beauty and relief that comes with allowing yourself to simply “be” and what it means to accept yourself as you truly are.
