About this episode

Growing up as an HSP, we would tend to notice the emotions of everyone around us and at such a young age it could be hard to discern if they were mad at us or something else. Sadly, we've internalized that as adults and can often feel guilty if people are upset.

The good news? You can free yourself from these feelings.

In this episode, you'll learn:

About my struggles with low self-worth
Why it's important to feel safe in your self
About the power of setting yourself free
