Welcome to The Happy HSP Podcast
Hello — and a very warm welcome to The Happy HSP Podcast. I’m your host, Kimberly Marshall, and I’m so glad you’re here.
This podcast is for people who feel things deeply, tend to get overwhelmed easily, and have been consistently told that they’re “too sensitive” or “too much.”
My goal is to create a supportive and gentle space where we can feel free to explore what it truly means to be a highly sensitive person — and celebrate this common personality trait for the gift it is.
Each week, I’ll sit down with a fellow HSP for an honest conversation about navigating life with high sensitivity — this will include the struggles, the strengths, the beauty of the trait, and all the tools that can help us move through the world with more ease, dignity, and self-trust.
A quick note about me and why I’m here: I’ve spent over two decades in the publishing industry, working for companies like Time Inc. and Monster.com. And though I was often seen as a high achiever, behind the scenes I was struggling and constantly burning out in work environments that didn’t support my needs.
I’ve since found a more nurturing and aligned path as a career coach for highly sensitive professionals — and now I have the privilege and honor of helping others build meaningful, sustainable careers that actually work with our high sensitivity, not against it.
But this podcast isn’t just about work and careers — though it’s a huge topic for many of us. We’ll also explore ways to manage stress and self-doubt, parent with empathy and patience, express ourselves creatively, pursue spiritual growth and life purpose, and better care for our sensitive minds, bodies, and hearts — with lots of stories, insights, and practical support along the way.
My hope is that this podcast becomes a gentle corner of the world where you feel seen, understood, and encouraged to live more gently and in a way that’s authentic to you.
Thank you so much for listening — and again welcome to The Happy HSP Podcast. I hope you enjoy it.
