49 | You Deserve Kindness Too: Why Self-...

LaToya Edwards | Life Coach for Highly Sensitive and Introverted Women
About this episode

Do you ever feel like your sensitivity is more of a burden than a gift? 

As an HSP, it’s easy to get stuck in cycles of self-criticism, overwhelm, and feeling like no one truly understands your emotions. But what if the key to managing these feelings starts with something as simple—and powerful—as self-compassion?

In this episode, we’ll explore why self-compassion is a game-changer for highly sensitive people and how it can help you break free from self-doubt and emotional exhaustion. 

I’ll walk you through its three key elements and share practical journaling exercises to help you navigate your emotions with kindness.
