Author and success consultant Jenna Forrest writes in her memoir Help Is On Its Way about growing up with the trait of high sensitivity. In our recent podcast interview, she talks about empowering and transcending sensitivity. From the interview:

“Millions of highly sensitive people right at this moment are carrying a heavier burden than the rest of society just because they’re perceptive of the world’s discord, which is coming at them every day from a laundry list of sources.

“This is where many sensitive kids and adults are right now, thinking that all these energies going on inside them are because something’s wrong with them.

“Highly sensitive people have a beautiful ability to turn these burdens into art, inventions, writing, acting and other expressions that speak to the hearts of humanity.

“They also have powerful, healing intuition that when developed, can be used to nullify the suffering that’s been endured by themselves and others.”
