I spend about half of each episode laughing at just how accurately they describe my experiences moving through the world and interacting with people. It’s reassuring that there are many HSPs out there and a nice reminder to find humor in everything. If we can learn to laugh at ourselves, we can learn to relax a little bit more. Thank you for producing this podcast.

This podcast is so reassuring. I don’t feel as alone when I turn it on. Grateful❤️

I’ve been really lonely and short and I’ve got not a lot of peeps who wanna help me and I’ve been alone not caught up on growths my girlfriends😭😭 Suggestions?

I only realized I am a HSP at the age of 43, so thank you for these wonderful episodes. You are helping so many people!

I love this podcast. I just started listening in 2021. I hope you will make new episodes! Plus your voice is so soothing for the HSP!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for this, I know it’s time consuming and I am throughly enjoying every episode.

Feeling very seen and understood. Thank you so much.

Holy potatoes I feel like this podcast is talking about ME! I’ve never felt more seen having discovered HSP traits. I feel so validated. I love listening to this and helps me feel less alone.

Thank you for this podcast. I only recently found out I was an introverted empath, yet I’ve suffered from severe anxiety - both social and in general - for long that I’ve always felt so alone. I’ve always wondered what was wrong with me. I’m only now just starting to learn being an HSP is a gift, and I’m excited to learn ways to harness and utilize this rather than fear it.

Please make more! This has helped me understand myself better and it helps me explain to other people around me. Life changing podcast!

I’m so glad I found this Podcast! I knew I was really sensitive but I didn't know a Highly Sensitive Person was an actual thing. It's nice to know that there are others like me. I really enjoy this podcast because I can relate to a lot of the things you talk about.

I feel like I’m drowning I can’t break this. I have been depressed so long that I can’t see beyond today I can’t remember whAt I did yesterday I have ptsd very bad and I have lost so many family in the last few years that I feel lost!

Kelly does an amazing job at making this podcast very easy listening and digestible! As an HSP I struggle every single day and can often find myself in negative mindsets. I’m so glad I stumbled on this podcast that lifts my negativity into something more positive. Thank you so much Kelly for helping me and creating something that helps HSPs become more accepted in the world. :’)

being a very young HSP, this has helped me through a lot when i just can’t seem to explain myself to others nearest to me, who don’t experience what i do. HSP can feel almost crippling at times, but knowing that i am not alone, and hearing other people address situations and scenarios that i am living, truly is a nice feeling. if anyone has any more advice on how to share with your significant other, about how HSP works and how it can affect a relationship, please let me know.

I loved this so much! I’m already aware of all the things talked about and it’s so true!!! This is grate for people who feel weird for knowing things and always have their whole life. To make them feel like they aren’t weird or whatever word you want to use . My joke I always use is the reason I’m single is because I know too much and it scares people lol but it’s true I see through people I feel things others don’t and predict things all the time. It’s a true gift. And narcissists really do seem to like me the most recent one thought he was smarter than me but i always knew better and he did hurt me bad doing what I thought he’s never do to me. But it needed to happen for me to see how truly careless he was and still is I wish I could post our convos!

Thanks so much for sharing! I feel very connected to this podcast!

Kelly O puts what I’ve struggled with into words and it has helped me better communicate with others.

i came across this podcast randomly; it was on my recommended. i didn’t know HSP was a real thing until i began to binge listen to all the episodes and do some research of my own. thank you for all the knowledge and huge discovery i made about myself. i hope this podcast makes a comeback one day.

I just binged all the episodes in the past few days and am hopeful there will be more! Every episode was informative, VERY relatable, and made me feel “normal” (whatever that is!). More, please?

I’ve started listening to your podcast in 2019, and it opened my eyes to so many internal struggles. I really hope you’re well and life is treating you well :)

I am certainly a HSP, but I see HSP traits in many of my friends and family and I’m thinking they might find so much value in this like I do. I’m trying to think of how to tell them about this show or what episode to send them each. I do wonder what makes someone HSP? How many traits and to what extent must you have in order to feel the term fits you? Because I see HSP traits in people who I don’t think are HSP. To me, the defining factor is a sense of isolation or loneliness because of the HSP traits. Meaning, that whatever traits you have or to whatever extent you have them, you probably will not self identify as a HSP unless that feeling of isolation and disconnect is there (as a result of the HSP traits). But, I know my friends and fam have had HSP moments/times that have been deeply uncomfortable or disturbing for them and I think that may be enough for them to take interest here...

I am not a HSP but I have a friend who is and I am wanting to understand. I am grateful to Kelly for the fantastic job she is doing helping people like me understand and enable me to be empathetic! I am a fan!

Love this. Helped me immensely. Smart.

This show strays from its title theme and it’s annoying. She lets her guests take control and talk about their agenda, not the show’s subject. She seems to be hesitant to control the guest. I listened to many of her podcast and every show is the same - frustrating.

For years I have battled with constant criticism that I’m too emotional or I wear my emotions on my sleeve and that I’m overly sensitive. It has taken me years to accept that I was made and born this way! I can better relate to people and feel what they are feeling in a given circumstance. Not everyone is accepting of HSP’s but that’s okay. This podcast is great because it helps me to better understand this personality trait. Instead of hating it or trying to change who I am, I can better accept myself as a HSP. I highly recommend this podcast to all and ESPECIALLY those that are not HSP’s. They need to understand that just because we feel more than they do does not mean we are weak or fragile or “too emotional.” Everyone is different and we all need to be accepting of that.

I’ve found so much belonging and awareness of myself as an HSP. I don’t feel alone anymore! Thank you Kelly for giving us HSPs a home!

I hope this opens the floodgates for other HSPs the way it did for me! Congratulations on opening so many eyes to the challengers and benefits to this unique way of experiencing the world

This podcast is so informative and fascinating. Kelly is a great host and makes us HSPs feel good about being who we are. Thank you Kelly!

This podcast at face value is the sensitive snowflake talk conservative republicans complain about. Personally I love it and relate to it so much!!! No nonsense, get to the point keep it short perfection. Please keep the tips coming!!!!

Thank you for this podcast! I didn’t know how I was going to get past my paralyzing thoughts today. Thankfully, I searched “highly sensitive” on Pandora and found you. You’ve given me a breath of courage and confidence and I’ve only listened to two podcasts so far. I can’t thank you enough.

I was so glad to have come across this podcast when looking into anxiety/panic podcasts. Just wish they were longer episodes!

As a high sensory person, this is the best podcast I have ever listened to...and I listen to a lot of podcasts! It made me feel sooooo good and chuckle, because I relate to EVERYTHING (and I’m an extrovert)! Thank you thank you Kelly!!

I love listening to this podcast! It’s so helpful to hear the experiences and thoughts of a person who well understands HSP’s.

I recently decided to get into podcasts, so I was researching and browsing trying to find something interesting to listen to. I stumbled across this podcast looking for something related to mental health because I wasn’t sure where else to start, and my mental health is a huge factor in my daily life. This podcast is so comforting and reassuring to me. Until I found this podcast, I had never heard of a “highly sensitive person” but now that I have, I feel much more validated in my feelings and experiences. I struggle with depression and anxiety, and for the last year it has been very bad and hard to overcome. I used to think that my depression and anxiety were what caused me to be this way (a highly sensitive person), but now that I’ve listened to several episodes of The Highly Sensitive Person Podcast I realize that not knowing how to harness and use my sensitivity is what leads to some of the depression and anxiety. I’m learning how to communicate my feelings and experiences to loved ones in a more clear way, and I’m learning how to handle myself in more positive and productive ways. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and your findings about highly sensitive people. It makes me feel comfortable in my weirdness.

I am loving this podcast, I am definately a Highly Sensitive Person and this show puts a lot into perspective for me and gives me peace of mind. Kelly the host is so awesome and I love her voice and she gives great tips. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who may be highly sensitive or just wants to learn more about life in general!

I just discovered this accidentally, and I am so thankful for the thoughtfully assembled episodes. I've learned so much!

I am grateful for this podcast. I understand and accept myself more than ever before, and I am 54 years old. I no longer feel alone or like there is something wrong with me. I am me. I am an HSP. I now have hope my third life act will be more self-loving, accepting, and authentic without apologies. I can not thank you enough. Sincerely, Lisa

I just recently discovered this podcast and it has been soo helpful to me as an INFJ-HSP. Please don't stop!

I haven’t watched all of the episodes yet but it’s just so fantastic to find someone addressing issues that I experience daily. The people around me, including my family, have tried to be supportive about my traits but when things get really difficult, they simply aren’t there enough and it makes me feel very alone. Seeing Kelly speak about so many of my experiences, such as the Beauty Threshold is so nice. It made me think of the time when I stumbled upon a Caravaggio painting at a Cathedral in Rome. I was traveling with my parents at the time and my heart was just so overcome with emotion I almost felt paralyzed. I didn’t even feel like it was right to take a photo of it because it would undermine the value of the real work. At the end, I did still take a photo because we obviously had to leave. I also like some other episodes that focus on difficulties as I think this will make my parents realize that though I seem over-sensitive it’s not me just over reacting (on the contrary, as a HSP living in midtown manhattan, with epilepsy and trying to find a job and a social life, it is exhausting just to try as a “kind of” sensitive person, haha”. Thanks Kelly!

This podcast peaks to the HSP soul.

I am constantly beating myself up for being too sensitive. Glad I'm not alone.

This is a great podcast! Hey, have you noticed that being around stupid people is as painful as other unpleasant stimuli?

Thank you Kelly for bringing your work and the many relevant guests to the subject of the life of the HSP.

Recently found this HSP topic, I am learning lots from this beautiful podcast. Great thoughts and suggestions!! <3

This podcast has helped me know that I'm not alone in how I have been feeling. I've always celt out of place and odd that I reacted or thought in such a different way than some of my friends. Thank you for having this.

Thank you for clarifying a part of my personality I always thought was a weakness or failing.

Great stuff

Short podcasts but extremely helpful

Really great coverage of topics meaningful to HSPs. I feel empowered by the ideas here! Especially like the animals topic and workplace survival tactics.

When I was raising my four children I didn't know how I would cope if one of them were kidnapped or died. I had nighmares about it. I still worry now that they are older and have learned to pray and turn it over. But I love these podcasts because i need continued reminders that these give me. I've shared with my HS friends. Thank you
