This week on the podcast, the tables are turned and I am interviewed by one of my all time favourite podcast hosts, Jenny Blake, for a crossover episode on her Free Time podcast.

We engage in a heart-to-heart conversation and dive into the world of highly sensitive people (HSPs), empaths, and introverts in the business world. The discussion centres around building a successful and sustainable business that aligns with one's energy and soul, while embracing the strengths and challenges of being a sensitive CEO.


💝 Key Takeaways

  • Embracing Sensitivity: Understanding that sensitivity is not a weakness, but a trait to be honoured and integrated into one's business approach.
  • Setting Boundaries: Overcoming people-pleasing tendencies and prioritising healthy boundaries to protect emotional well-being.
  • Working with Fellow Sensitives: The power of connecting with like-minded individuals and running businesses that cater to HSPs, empaths, and introverts.
  • Intuition as a Superpower: Developing and leveraging intuition to make important business decisions and find alignment with personal values.
  • The Decision to Pause: I share my journey of deciding to take a break from my podcast and slow down, making space for some personal projects and self-care.
  • Nature's Influence: The role of nature in nurturing creativity, intuition, and providing a calming space for self-reflection.
  • Giving Permission: Encouragement to remove email and social apps from the phone, setting boundaries between personal and business life for enhanced well-being.
