Summary:

Why is it that so many highly sensitive people struggle to ask for what they want? Is it fear of rejection—or something deeper?

In this gentle, reflective episode, we explore the quieter truth: that many HSPs aren’t afraid of being told no... they’re afraid of being told yes. We walk through the hidden fears beneath desire, the right-brain wisdom that often goes unheard, and the cultural noise that drowns out intuitive knowing. Along the way, we draw from the research of Bianca Acevedo, the teachings of Martha Beck, and the soul-deep ache for both authenticity and belonging.

This episode is an invitation to return to the power of sensitivity—not as weakness, but as precision. And to remember that what you want may already be unfolding... if you’re quiet enough to notice.
