Silencing the inner saboteur is crucial for neurosensitives on their journey of healing and self-empowerment.  By cultivating mindfulness and developing a deep understanding of one's triggers and thought patterns, we can gradually quiet the relentless voice of the inner critic. It is crucial for us to acknowledge that self-worth is intrinsic and does not rely on external approval ! Taking the time to nurture self-worth and embrace self-love is a transformative journey that requires introspection and commitment. Through this process, neurosensitives can unlock their true potential, and find a sense of empowered balance and inner peace.

Many HSPs struggle with money and finance. Money seems to be this unfathomable thing that keeps avoiding us, or many believe that money in itself is corrupted. Leading change from this place is very difficult.

Mar is the founder of the Aligned Money methodology and the creator of the Inkiri social currency in Brazil. After 5 years as a successful London Financial Trader and completing her Masters in Economics for Transition at Schumacher College, UK, she felt the need to bring about a new way for people to relate to money and connect to their passion, life purpose and personal wellbeing. www.marmichelle.com
