In this episode of "Real Over Ideal," Vanessa talks about the highly sensitive person type (HSP).

Do you know someone who slips away away from social gatherings, gets overwhelmed by noises or bright lights, or cries easily? They are probably an HSP.

Vanessa shares the challenges and strengths of living with heightened sensitivity.

Tune in to explore the signs of being an HSP, the importance of honoring one's needs, and how sensitivity can be a powerful strength in a high-stimulation world.

Whether you're an HSP or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement. Join us as we normalize sensitivity and celebrate it as a unique way to experience the world.
