53. FAQs about HSPs (for those who are not highly sensitive) Oct 06, 2015

Show notes

This episode is especially for those who do not have the trait of high sensitivity. It's for those who don't understand HSP, yet want to learn more about it to support someone in their life. In this show, I cover some "Frequently Asked Questions" about HSPs to clear up some misconceptions about the trait. Including:

Aren’t “sensitive” people just drama queens and crybabies?
Is “Highly Sensitive Person” a made-up thing people use as an excuse to act a certain way?
Can’t you just toughen up?
My partner was diagnosed as highly sensitive. How can they make it better?
I feel like I’m walking on eggshells around my highly sensitive partner/friend. They get upset at everything.
How can I better understand my highly sensitive partner/friend/family member?

51. Job Interviews- A Rant & Tips Sep 09, 2015

Show notes

I think it’s fair to say that most people dislike job interviews.

And for HSPs, they are extra super not-fun.

In this episode, I talk about why traditional interviews are a poor way to judge a candidate, how HSPs may react to being interviewed, and end it with 3 interviews tips. (Hey, I wanted to offer something helpful instead of just ranting!)

50. How to stop wanting to escape your job Aug 25, 2015

Show notes

Have you ever thought: "If only I could quit my job, everything would be better." And you daydream about following your passions, or traveling, or going after that business idea you've always fantasized about?

But you know, deep down, that you will never quit your office job, for whatever reason. And that depresses you.

Well, hopefully today's episode will make you feel a bit better. It talks about how these types of dreams often have little grounding in reality. They are wishful goals that haven't been set, so they can't be reached. Reaching for these unset goals can only leave you disappointed.

NOTE: There is something I should have said in this episode that I forgot to include. Everything I talk about in this episode is my personal opinion from life experiences. I generalize "office jobs" and realize that all jobs and situations are different. These tips might not apply to you and your job situation, so please take it with a grain of salt.

49. Arguing with internet trolls and other people who anger you Aug 05, 2015

Show notes

Have you ever gotten into an argument about politics with a family member or co-worker and you got really angry and fired up? Have you ever gotten into a fight online with a complete idiot? Then, did you later find yourself turning over the events in your head, getting angry all over again? Then you felt a little sheepish about it? This episode is about just that--when we HSPs get passionate and fired up about our opinions, we sometimes forget that we have a CHOICE about whether or not to get upset. Here are some tips on how to deal with those people who really know how to push your buttons.

48. How to Give Condolences Jul 21, 2015

Show notes

You’d think as an HSP that I’d be good at knowing what to say when someone I care about, a friend or family member, had something terrible happen to them. I want SO BADLY to say something helpful, but I’m always afraid that I’ll say the wrong thing. So this honestly isn’t for HSPs only—these tips could help anyone.
