54: Taking things OFF your plate

The Highly-Sensitive Leader Podcast

Join us this week as we explore and celebrate taking things OFF our plate, as opposed to adding things on.

Highly sensitive leaders often naturally default to stacking up ideas and details of things to do. I share two client stories which show how stacking up drives highly sensitives into overwhelm, which often leads to either procrastination or burn-out.

I show you the three main reasons why highly sensitives resort to “adding on” strategies and struggle to let things go. The overall result is that we think about what needs to be done but actually either don’t get things done, or drive ourselves into the exhaustion crash by over-doing.

I offer a fresh perspective and ways to reframe your “adding on” mindset, to replace it with a “taking off” mindset. This allows you to bring relief immediately, today, as well as start dissolving the deeper-rooted fears keeping you stuck into this unhelpful pattern.

I also share one concrete, immediately applicable strategy which has been a complete game-changer for me and many of my clients. I’m sure it will be for you too!

It will give you a clear diagnosis and score to evaluate your sensitivity. It will also unlock your access to the FREE Cheat sheet I have created called “What high sensitivity is and how it manifests” which summarizes in 5 slides all the ways your high sensitivity will show up at work, so you can gain a deep awareness and know where to start.
