The Highly Sensitive Woman | Confidence | Set Boundaries | Self-acceptance | Find Your Purpose | Self-esteem
Do you want to overcome self-doubt and set boundaries so you can have the meaningful connections you crave? Do you find yourself Googling how to build confidence, find internal peace, and eliminate feeling overwhelmed? Do you regularly feel like you’re broken and have resentment toward others when you accommodate their needs and ignore what you want... again? My name is Allyssya and I’m a Highly Sensitive Woman. For decades, I lacked the confidence to be myself. I too wished I didn’t worry so much about what everyone else thought of me and constantly felt anxiety from fear of disappointing others. I wanted to set boundaries, feel understood by the people in my life, and experience inner peace. But I kept telling myself I should be like everyone else and how I was made was the problem. Then I learned that there are other highly sensitive women in the world, and I didn’t feel so broken. I also discovered that expressing my thoughts, needs, and desires was empowering, and it helped me overcome self-doubt. In this podcast, you’ll find your voice to be yourself and set boundaries, even when your emotions are heightened, so you can live with bold confidence and internal peace. Grab your cozy blanket and get comfy, it’s time to connect with someone just like you!

That’s exactly what happens for highly sensitive women when we try to operate like the other 80% of the population. Instead of honoring the way we’re wired, we push ourselves to fit in, and when it doesn’t work, we turn on ours...

I used to go through life with an undercurrent of irritation all of the time, and didn’t really understand why.

🩵 How to check in with yourself before speaking up
🩵 The importance of exp...
