You’ve likely been told you’re “too sensitive.”
Maybe you’ve been accused of overreacting, overthinking or caring too much.
So, you learned to hide it.
You built the armour: productivity, perfectionism, people-pleasing, all because you thought that’s what strong people do.
But what if the very thing you’ve been hiding is actually your greatest asset?
In a world that glorifies hustle and hard edges, emotional sensitivity can feel like a flaw.
You're perceptive, attuned to nuance, deeply impacted by your environment, and yes, it’s exhausting.
But here’s what most people don’t understand…
Sensitivity isn’t fragility. Sensitivity is information.
It’s your system working exactly as designed, alerting you to shifts, undercurrents, and needs that others miss.
Your sensitivity is the internal radar that lets you see what others miss.
Sensitivity is a strength when it’s guided. It becomes a burden when it’s silenced.
Many high-performing women grew up equating sensitivity with the shame of not feeling good enough.
Maybe you were the “emotional one,” the “too much” child or “the peacekeeper.”
So you adapted.
You focused on others.
You buried your own needs.
Now, that old survival strategy feels like it's no longer working.
You’re exhausted, overextended and quietly wondering: Is something wrong with me?
Let me reassure you: There is nothing wrong with you.
What you’re feeling is the cost of disconnecting from your inner voice, a disconnection caused by a lifetime of absorbing, instead of observing.
In Week 1 of the Mind & Body Workbook, we begin shifting this pattern, helping you move from absorber to observer, so you can finally leverage the power of your sensitivity.
Instead of asking:
“Why am I so sensitive?”
Shift to asking:
“What is my sensitivity trying to show me?”
This single shift moves you out of survival mode and into self-trust.
If you're already using the workbook, revisit your Day 1 prompts through this lens because you may find deeper insight hiding in plain sight.
If you haven’t yet started, now is the perfect time to begin.
The Mind & Body Workbook isn't about "fixing" your sensitivity. It’s about helping you finally align with it.
Alanis Morissette is a global icon who once struggled with feeling "too sensitive" for the world around her. Instead of shutting it down, she turned her emotional intensity into powerful music that resonated worldwide. Today, Alanis speaks openly about how sensitivity, when honored rather than hidden, becomes the ultimate form of strength and creative genius.
"I’m a highly sensitive person. My nervous system feels like it’s been exposed to the world without skin sometimes. But I’ve realised that’s my strength, my ability to sense things others miss."
— Alanis Morissette
