Being Bold and Highly Sensitive
Wed Jul 30 2025
Midyear energy brings a natural pause point—a chance to reflect and ask: how can I use this midyear energy to be bold? It’s an opportunity to explore what being bold really means for highly sensitives in business and leadership. Spoiler: it doesn’t have to be big or drastic. In fact, for HSPs boldness is less about force and more about alignment—it’s the intentional practice of stepping outside your comfort zone in service of your essential self. Being highly sensitive and bold is the ultimate intentional use of the tension. Bold doesn’t cancel out sensitive—instead, they amplify each other.
In our final Business Miracles podcast episode, I walk you through what it means to be both highly sensitive and bold, and why that’s not a contradiction—it’s an advantage. We talk about competence and risk as a practice, how to recognize when you’re denying your essential self (and how to pivot), and why boldness is less about hustle and more about alignment. You’ll get a clear five-step process to help you take bold action, rooted in your HSE strengths like intuition, creativity, and deep spiritual connection. This is your invitation to let go of the “other 80%er” (non-HSP) way of doing things and instead lead in a way that’s true to who you are. Along those lines, we will be moving this podcast over to our YouTube channel, where fresh training content, just like you receive here, will be shared twice per week.

“We are as highly sensitive entrepreneurs and leaders, both intuitive and strategic. As highly sensitive entrepreneurs and leaders, we are both wildly optimistic and fiscally wise. As highly sensitive entrepreneurs and leaders, we are both creatively excited and utterly terrified.” – Heather Dominick
