You're not a head who happens to have a body, Highly Sensitive Person! Your body (and heart!) are important parts of the equation to fully align your highly sensitive nervous system with a truly amazing life.

In this episode of the Highly Sensitive Club, host Steph Linn (CPC, ACC) interviews Steve Bennet (CPC, CPT), a certified coach and personal trainer who shares his journey of self-discovery as a highly sensitive person and someone with ADHD. Steve discusses the challenges he faced in his early sobriety, his struggles with body image, and how he transformed his life through fitness and nutrition. He emphasizes the importance of connection, community, and self-acceptance, and offers valuable insights for others on similar journeys. Steve's story is one of resilience, empowerment, and the belief that change is possible, one small step at a time.
