Unleash The Rare Breed In You!

If I was given a dollar for every time I was told I was “too sensitive,” well… you know the drill. I’ve been told this a lot (and I’d be very rich)! For most of my life, being told I was being too sensitive, too emotional, too empathic weighed heavy on me. It was used in situations that were intended to encourage me to act differently, be more tough, or grow thicker skin. Over time, I find myself attempting to suppress my sensitivities in order to hold my own in certain work environments or maintain relationships. But as you may have heard before, “suppression causes depression.” 

The more I rejected one of my most powerful traits, the more it showed itself through anxiety, job changes, and insomnia. So I was forced to flip the script. I started to recognize that being a sensitive, empathic person was not my crutch but my gift. That when I would shed light on something I deemed a dark part of me, it gave it the room to express itself in a far more productive way! What has come since is even more magical. Suddenly, I have attracted environments and relationships that not only accept but celebrate my emotional self. Because I am a rare breed. In fact, most of us are.
