STORY OF EMPOWERMENT: In conversation with Barbara Allen and Nina Khoo about high sensitivity.
What does it mean to be an empowered HSP?
In the third episode of Right Time Write Now, host Nicola McDonald talks about her innate trait, scientifically known as Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS), more widely addressed as High Sensitivity (HS). This highly responsive, natural temperament trait, exists in 20% of the population. We hear about the beauty of Australia, the wildlife, the landscape and more from Nicola’s point of view; an experience lived, felt and processed deeply.
This month Nicola is joined by Barbara Allen and Nina Khoo, who mentor and coach HSP’s, by facilitating workshops, coaching programs, retreats and as Speakers. They discuss how, self aware, empowered, HSP’s practice self-care and how to lead as a sensitive person.
This month’s writing prompts focus on feeling empowered and finding your voice. Binaural Beat 7Hz Creativity by Didier Poglio via Tera Mangala Meditation Music available from Pond5.
