177 Burnout Doesn’t Get You Paid Jan 17, 2024

Show notes

There’s no reward for being over-busy except burnout. That old-century definition of success, “the busier you are the more you’ve gotten done” is over.

In this episode you’ll learn:

a practical system approach so you stay consistent throughout the year
how I personally work with this system – even through unexpected change
how to infuse optimism, abundance, and enthusiasm into your day-to-day (even when you feel overwhelmed)

As an HSP in business and leadership not only does burnout feel bad – it won’t get you paid.

“It is your intentions backed by the power of free will that creates actualization.” – Heather Dominick

1:56: How to set deliberate intentions for the year
4:04: Why don’t highly sensitive entrepreneurs work well with compartmentalization
5:12: How to make a weekly plan
5:55: What is the power of intentional release

176 The Power of Intention Jan 03, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, we’re dismantling the old “New Year, New Me” philosophy that discounts where you’ve come from, how you’ve grown, and what you’ve accomplished up until now.

Listen in as I share how to counteract old patterns of setting New Year resolutions that leave you feeling unmotivated and unaccomplished and instead use the power of Intention to:

access your highly sensitive strengths of deep thinking and deep feeling to deeply create what you desire
shift the top 3 highly sensitive shadows into strengths
use a simple, powerful practice to set intentions filled with trust and ease

Let the Power of Intention lead you forward into new levels of success with strength and resilience as an HSP in business and leadership.

“There is such a cavernous difference between aim and plan, so I love that intentions include both.” – Heather Dominick

Listen and Learn:

1:16: What is a business miracle
2:24: How to prepare for the new year
5:14: Why is it important to set intentions
5:48: What keeps us from creating intentions
10:34: What does it mean to re-return
15:13: How can the Business Miracles team support you in the new year

“How appropriate to begin the year setting intentions for the healing process of a wound to make the conscious decision to use what has worked against us in the past to work for us in the now.” – Heather Dominick

173 Consciously Create Calm Nov 29, 2023

Show notes

Typically the end of the year is fraught with excitement, anticipation and maybe even a little bit of dread thrown into the mix.

It’s all too common to feel overstimulated and overwhelmed with so many places to be, things to do, people to connect with, and obligations to fulfill. Add in all of the other aspects of these never-ending exceptional times that we have been managing ourselves through and it’s no surprise that so many HSPs turn into massive balls of walking anxiety.

“Just coping” through the overstimulation that your nervous system experiences will leave you disconnected, disassociated from yourself, your feelings, and your experiences.

Yet, these exceptional times are not for us to bury our heads in the sand and try to simply get through. These times are an opportunity to rise up and this time of year heightens that opportunity more than ever.

This episode will teach you:

the importance of learning to manage your nervous system rather than be a victim to the highly sensitive nervous system’s tendency to overwhelm in response to stimulation
how to set the frame energetically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for this time of year so you can shift past patterns into new opportunities
a practical tool that you can use to instantly calm your nervous system when you’re overstimulated and feeling like a massive ball of anxiety

“These exceptional times are not for us to bury our head in the sand and try to get it to get through; these times are an opportunity to rise up and this time of year heightens that opportunity more than ever.” – Heather Dominick

Listen and Learn:

1:17: What does it mean to be at the end of the year
5:05: Why is it important to learn to manage your nervous system
9:10: How to shift past patterns into new opportunities
12:28: What is a practical tool to instantly calm your nervous system

“That uncertainty of feeling often comes from the experience of typically only coping through the overstimulation that our nervous system experiences and coping only or being in the shadow state of being highly sensitive typically will have you disconnected, disassociated from yourself, then therefore your feelings, and then therefore your experience.” – Heather Dominick

172 The HSE Shadow of Comparison Nov 08, 2023

Show notes

The HSE shadow of comparison has a tricky way of sneaking up on you and catching you unaware. One minute you’re scrolling through social media and the next, seemingly out of nowhere, you find yourself feeling less than, not enough, and like you just don’t measure up. If you’re not careful, it will suck you dry of happiness before you even realize what’s happening.

For us Highly Sensitive Entrepreneurs and Leaders, the path of consciously rewiring our nervous system to be able to function optimally in all parts of our business and lives includes actively working to change our relationship with comparison.

In this episode you’ll learn:

the most common types of comparison that typically affect a highly sensitive person
how unhealthy comparison impacts not only your happiness but also your ability to be productive in your business
what’s needed to shift those unconscious patterns into a healthy use of comparison that can fuel you, inspire you, and motivate you to adapt, receive, and create.

“Comparison is all about how you choose to use it.” – Heather Dominick

Listen and Learn:

1:22 How to change your relationship with comparison
5:04 Ways to use the HSE Shadow of Comparison as a strength
6:16 How to shift unconscious patterns of comparison

“There’s been a habitual pattern created over time, often enforced by our family of origin to register the difference between yourself and someone who’s not highly sensitive as less than or not enough.” – Heather Dominick

Show notes

Welcome to this special three-part episode series where you’ll be hearing wisdom and insights from me, as well as hearing from select highly sensitive leaders who are currently creating more impact and more income within their traditional professional roles – and all with way less effort – by applying their highly sensitive leadership skills.

Join me and special guest Jennifer Ricards, CEO of Ri Management and Executive Vice President, Cynosure Health.

Listen in to hear how Jennifer made the HUGE shift from constantly feeling stressed out, frazzled, and doing work that she didn’t enjoy, because she struggled so much with advocating for herself and communicating her needs, to truly using her Highly Sensitive Leadership skills to empower herself and work in a way that brings her joy and fulfillment. All while also positioning herself to create jobs and provide opportunities that allow and empower others to have more work/life balance as well.

“When you are stressed and frazzled, you don’t have a lot of perspective on the situation that you’re in, but I look back often to maybe a way I used to work or I think that like, oh, I used to travel with this schedule and how in the world did I do it?” – Jennifer Ricards

Show Notes:

How to know if you are highly sensitive
Ways to advocate for yourself
How to become fulfilled at work
Tips for using Highly Sensitive Leadership skills

“You think you have to work your way up and put in those long hours and work hard and everything will flow from there, but I think actually what was happening was I was working myself farther down the stress and travelled path.” – Jennifer Ricards
