Flipping the script on sensitivity, because it’s your edge, not your setback.
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” struggled to find your place in high-pressure work environments, or felt like you had to toughen up just to get by – this podcast is for you.
Hosted by me, Teresa Beehan, ex-corporate insider turned Career Coach, Founder of Practical Feeling, and proud Sensitive Professional.
This show is a space where sensitivity is celebrated in all its nuance: the messy, the magical, and everything in between.
Each episode, I chat with incredible guests to explore what it really looks like to thrive as a sensitive person at work (and in life) – through honest conversations, real experiences, expert insights, and practical tools that meet you where you are.
We go deep, but we stay grounded. And we never forget the power of humour and heart.
Whether you’re deeply empathetic, highly attuned to detail, or simply someone who experiences the world more intensely – this podcast will help you embrace that as your edge, not your obstacle.

Design thinking invites us to open things up and explore possibilities, then come back to what matters most. What if sensitivity works in much the same way?
In this episode, I talk with Joe Knowland, a furniture designer and former art fabricator, whose career has spanned classrooms, international galleries, and industrial workshops.
Joe brings a maker’s mindset to emotional processing, and a deeply human approach to systems thinking. We unpack how the sensitivity that once overwhelmed him is now central to his way of working – and how thoughtful design processes can help us move through emotional fog without losing ourselves in it.
Joe shares practical ideas, personal insights, and a refreshingly down-to-earth way of thinking about change, whether that’s in your job, your life, or your own inner world.
What we talk about in this episode:
· How design frameworks mirror the sensitive experience
· The power of divergent thinking (and knowing when to stop)
· Why overwhelm isn’t a failure: just a stage in the process
· Applying design thinking to emotional stuckness
· The joy of spirals over circles – and why moving helps
