Welcome to Happy Space - the place where Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) thrive. Be part of the movement!

Did you know that the trait of high sensitivity appears in 1 in 5 people?

If it is not you, it is a family member, friend, colleague, or member of your community.

It is my goal to inspire a more tender world where all of us can make our richest contributions, HSPs included.

Join the pod, check out the podcast, and check out Happy Space programs. Be part of the movement!

Join the Happy Space Pod

The Happy Space Pod is our online community on Facebook

It is group for driven, caring HSPs - professionals (both employees and entrepreneurs) who recognize they are highly sensitive, empathetic, perceptive people who adore making a contribution but often find it exhausting and/or stressful. They know they deserve a calmer, more fulfilling life and want to take practical steps to get there.

It is also a place for those who want to better understand and support HSPs.

The pod is a safe and supportive space to connect and explore:

  • successfully integrating work and life
  • sustaining energy
  • effectively setting boundaries
  • self-mastery with a huge dose of self-compassion
  • organizing & productivity practices
Join us on Facebook

The podcast and the community are here to help HSPs thrive and to help non-HSPs to better understand and support them.

How to Work with Highly Sensitive People

The ABCs of Behavior Change (TM) – for habits that stick

it has been a tough day. i’m not good with noise it has been a tough day. i’m not good with noise stress. we have danced in the past and i don’t like how it not just steps on my toes, it crushes them. 

doing my best to navigate obscene noise from the construction below. a “multi-hundred thousand dollar” renovation joining two units together. 

tied to good ergonomics and two screens for the work i had to complete this afternoon, i have learned my bose quiet comfort headphones are no match for concrete cutting. 

just as silence once again returned here is when i learned elliot peed on the guest bed. luckily, i anticipated this and the bed was covered in a plastic sheet. phew! 

just got back from dropping my Love at work after he got a flat tire on the way. 

all this, and i am sticking to my all-healthy food and drink plan for the next six weeks. 

but know i am imagining the biggest bag of sour cream and onion potato chips right now. and i’m not sharing.

I remember reading that 70% of HSPs are introverts I remember reading that 70% of HSPs are introverts and 30% are extroverts and thinking, "except for me and other ambiverts".

Well, along comes HSP-Extrovert
@hspextrovertjennt to shake up my world.

She claims that are in fact no ambiverts.
Wait, what?

Yep. In our conversation, Jenn helps me understand how she came to this conclusion.

Tune in and let me know if it makes sense to you, too?

And drop below...which one are you?

I made so many mistakes. Mistakes I realized later I made so many mistakes. Mistakes I realized later that parts of me knew were going to be so. 

I dismissed numerous signs and kept my brain in charge. Poor relationships - both business and personal ensued. 

Now, I do my best to TUNE IN to my intuition. 

Intuition expert Sunil Godse @intuitivebranding101 helped further expand my thinking around the topic and shared illuminating examples of others who have come to believe in its power. 

As a highly sensitive person who can tend to overthink, committing to being still and listening has helped immensely.

Tell me, do you listen to your intuition?

You're blessed with superb filters and have no trouble handling a chaotic environment. Not a lot bothers you. HSPs dream of feeling like this!


You believe “done is better than perfect”. With your focused action, there’s a chance you can be perceived as being a bit of a bull in a china shop. You may quickly jump to conclusions and be too casual with others’ feelings. 

 

You may benefit from taking more time to assess a situation before taking action, something that comes naturally to HSPs.

 

Engaging with HSPs may invite you to notice nuances in a situation that can help smooth your journey.

 

With about 20% of people being highly sensitive, it makes good sense to learn more about the trait.

 

You’re invited to join the Happy Space Pod Online Community, a positive place for HSPs and also for non-HSPs like you who want to better understand and more fully support the valuable HSPs in their lives.

You notice a mix of emotions each day, in yourself and others. Sometimes this is easy to accommodate. Other times, it can be overwhelming.

 

You are sometimes bothered by disorganization and chaos around you and notice what could be improved. 

 

Other times, you miss nuance and subtleties that can better guide your actions. You can be creative in the right environment.

 

You are sometimes able to reprioritize efficiently when necessary. Other times, you might find yourself needing to think deeply before making a decision.

 

With 1 in 5 people having the trait of high sensitivity, it is quite possible that you are one of them. 

 

If you shared your email address with us, you should have already received an email with your custom results and more detailed information.

Meanwhile, I invite you to explore the trait of high sensitivity by joining the Happy Space Pod Online Community, a positive place for HSPs and also for non-HSPs who want to better understand and more fully support the valuable HSPs in their lives. 

I hope to see you there.

Hello, fellow HSP!


You believe perfect is worth striving for and you are proud of your conscientiousness. Being so thoughtful with your work often leaves you frustrated at just how long it takes to get something done. 


Your ability to notice what’s going on around you provides helpful cues which guide your path forward. While blurting out what’s on your mind has sometimes ruffled feathers, you are generally perceived as a thoughtful team player who cares for others. 


You will benefit greatly from setting boundaries, improving self-regulation,  and self-advocating to preserve your energy. 

Join the supportive Happy Space Pod Online Community for more strategies that will help you thrive as an HSP.
