| 30 Dec 2024 | Dismantling the 'Don’t Be' Narrative with Susannah Worth | 00:48:03 | |
Ever been told ‘don’t be shy,’ or ‘don’t be so sensitive’? These throwaway phrases do more than sting—they shape how we see ourselves and the roles we think we’re allowed to play. But what if those very traits are where our real power lies? That’s exactly what we’re exploring in this episode of The Sensitive Professionals Podcast. I’m joined by the wonderful Susannah Worth, founder of Gutsy, to explore the nuanced world of sensitivity, shyness, and building confidence. From her experiences with misophonia (a form of acute sound sensitivity) to her transformative work in drama and improvisation, Susannah shares her journey of reframing fear, finding her voice, and helping others do the same. WHAT WE DIVE INTO
· What it means to see the world differently as a sensitive person. · Misophonia and the power of understanding sensory sensitivity. · The lasting impact of “don’t be” narratives, like “don’t be shy.” · Practical tools for turning sensitivity into a superpower. · How leaning into creativity can unlock confidence and connection. Susannah’s insights offer a refreshing perspective on sensitivity as a strength. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood or held back by labels like “shy” or “too sensitive,” this episode will leave you inspired and ready to embrace your own sensitive edge.

| 23 Dec 2024 | When Creative Spaces Push You Hard with Lucia Fontaina-Powell | 00:46:27 | |
For sensitive types, high-pressure work can feel like a trap—pulling us into default patterns of behaviour or relational roles that don’t always serve us. But what if the very sensitivity that pulls us in is also the key to breaking free? That’s exactly what we’re exploring in this episode of The Sensitive Professionals Podcast. I’m joined by brilliant Lucia Fontaina-Powell, an accredited coach and freelance copywriter, to explore the beautiful intersection of sensitivity, creativity, and pressure, particularly in purpose-led environments. Lucia shares her experiences—from navigating her own turning point in high-growth startups to embracing sensitivity as a strength in her coaching work. THIS IS WHAT WE DIVE INTO
· How sensitivity fuels creativity and deep thinking. · The challenges of being a "recovering high achiever" in high-pressure workplaces. · The emotional toll of hyper-awareness and navigating volatile team dynamics. · Why reframing "being different" can help you tap into your creative edge. · How sensitivity and creativity intersect to foster unique problem-solving approaches. Lucia's insights highlight the strengths (and occasional struggles) that come with being a sensitive professional. If you’ve ever felt like sensitivity holds you back—or wondered how to harness it for creative success—this conversation is for you.

| 10 Feb 2025 | Networking Without the ‘Ick’ with Sarah JanTausch | 00:47:13 | |
For sensitive professionals, the word networking can send a shiver down the spine. The small talk, the forced smiles, the feeling that you have to “perform” just to be seen—it’s no wonder so many of us avoid it. But what if networking didn’t have to feel fake, exhausting, or transactional? What if there was a way to build meaningful relationships without the ick? That’s exactly what we’re exploring in this episode of The Sensitive Professionals Podcast. I’m joined by the wonderful Sarah JanTausch, creator of Generosity-Based Networking—an approach designed to help introverted professionals make genuine connections without feeling drained or inauthentic.

| 17 Feb 2025 | Feeling Out Of Sync (And How To Fix It) With Giada Centofanti | 00:52:34 | |
Alignment gets thrown around a lot in self-development spaces—but what does it actually mean, especially for those of us who feel everything deeply, absorb emotions like a sponge, and struggle to put ourselves first? What if it’s not about getting it right but about staying in tune with ourselves, moment by moment? That’s exactly what we’re exploring in this episode of The Sensitive Professionals Podcast. I’m joined by the wonderful Giada Centofonti, an impact coach who helps values-driven business owners take aligned action while preserving their time, energy, and well-being. With a background in communications and neuroscience-based coaching, Giada blends deep self-discovery with practical action to help her clients shape businesses that feel fulfilling, freeing, and sustainable. In this conversation, we dive deep into what alignment really means, why it’s essential for sensitive professionals, and how to recognise when you’re off course (and what to do about it). WHAT WE DIVE INTO
· What alignment really means and why it’s not a one-time destination but a lifelong practice. · How sensitivity influences our sense of alignment and why it can feel so intense when we’re out of sync. · The challenge of setting boundaries as a sensitive person and how alignment helps with saying "no" without guilt. · The role of intuition and body signals in decision-making—because your body often knows first. · Practical ways to stay in alignment—even in a world that doesn’t always make space for sensitivity. Giada’s insights shed light on the power of alignment for sensitive professionals—the challenges, the benefits, and the small but meaningful shifts that make all the difference. If you’ve ever felt out of sync with yourself, struggled to set boundaries, or wondered how to make decisions that truly honour your needs, this conversation is for you.
