Description

Ever felt like you’re too much? Too emotional, too intense, too sensitive for this world that keeps telling you to “get over it”? What if your sensitivity is actually your superpower?

In this conversation with Todd Smith, we discuss what it’s like to feel everything so deeply and how to transform that sensitivity into strength. We explore routines that keep you grounded, what it truly means to take care of yourself, and how to stop losing yourself in the name of love or approval.

This episode is for the feelers, the deep thinkers, and the ones who are learning that being sensitive doesn’t make you weak.
