Why Your Sensitivity Is Not the Problem — It’s the Path

Feeling lost, too sensitive or low this week? Don’t give up.

This week’s energy has been weird, hasn’t it?

Like you’re too sensitive for this world.

Like nothing’s quite landing.

Like your sparkle’s dulled and you’re wondering what you’re even doing anymore.

If that’s how you’ve been feeling, you’re not alone, I’ve been feeling exactly this!

You’re not failing. You’re not lost.

You’re likely feeling the effects of Gate 2 — the Gate of Allowing.

This Human Design transit is all about inner direction — not the kind you plan, but the kind you receive.

It sounds lovely… until you’re right in the middle of the fog and everything feels like a bit of a wobble.

Gate 2 in Human Design: why you feel so unclear right now

Gate 2 is about the path that’s already meant for you — the one that’s unfolding quietly, even if you can’t see it yet.

To feel it, you have to soften.

Not hustle.

Not fix.

Not figure it all out in one go.

This gate isn’t about knowing your 5-year plan (thank god for that!). It’s about getting quiet enough to hear your next step whispering, “This way.”

If you’re second-guessing everything right now — your purpose, your progress, your energy — this might be why.

What I do when I want to give up on everything

This week I’ve felt it all — the wobble, the “maybe I should just give up,” the “why is this feeling so hard?”

I had a moment where I genuinely thought:

Maybe I’ll shut it all down, and go and live in a cabin in the woods, and never post again!

(Not even joking. Slightly tempting!)

Then I remembered why I’m here.

I didn’t choose this work. I was called to it.

By the plants.

By the Earth.

By the part of me that sees you — sensitive, overwhelmed, doing your best — and knows what’s possible when you stop fighting who you are.

The truth about sensitivity (and why it’s not a weakness!)

Your sensitivity is not the problem.

It’s the path.

It’s the very thing the world needs more of right now — and it’s part of what makes you incredible!

You were designed to feel deeply, to sense what others miss, to care in ways that change lives. Maybe you just haven’t been shown how to trust that part of you.

Until now!

Why I help sensitive people (and what I see in you)

I’m not just here to help you feel a bit calmer or a bit more in control.

I’m a happiness coach for HSPs because I believe — with everything I have — that you’re wired this way for a reason — for the good of the tribe and the healing of the Earth!

Not as a mistake.

Not as something to overcome.

But as a powerful, purposeful part of how we heal the world.

I didn’t choose this work. I was called to it.

By the plants.

By the Earth.

Your sensitivity? It’s not a setback.

It’s your guidance system.

It’s what lets you care, create, and connect in the exact way this world needs right now.

I believe your desires matter.

Not just because they’ll make you feel better — but because they’re part of your mission!

You’re not here to settle for burnout, self-doubt, and “just getting by.”

You’re here to feel alive! Free. Connected. Brave enough to live in a way that lights you up and ripples out to everyone around you. As an HSP, I am wired this way to help you do that. That is my HSP Mission!

It breaks my heart when I see sensitive souls stuck in survival mode.

I can see their magic so clearly.

It totally lights me up when someone comes back to themselves, feels emotionally free, and realises, “Wait… maybe I really can do this.”

Once you believe in yourself, everything changes — for you, for your people, and for the collective.

That’s why I’m here. That’s what this work is about.

Your dreams aren’t random — they’re part of your purpose

Your desires are not random.

They’re sacred!

They’re clues!

They’re part of the mission you’re here to live.

When HSPs want more freedom, creativity, joy, and meaning — it’s not indulgence. It’s your purpose tugging at your sleeve.

Especially for us sensitive types, our desires are already attuned to service. When we follow them, everybody wins!

It’s why I care so much about you feeling safe enough to want things again.

Because I know how easy it is to bury your desires under guilt, comparison, and “who am I to…?” spirals.

What breaks my heart (and what lights me up)

What breaks me is seeing fellow HSPs trying so hard, carrying so much, and still feeling like they’re not enough. I know this pain intimately myself.

Stuck. Unhappy. Burnt out.

But I see what’s possible!

That’s one of my superpowers — possibility is my Human Design Perspective. I can see all the different possible outcomes.

What lights me up more than anything?

Watching someone step into that!

To finally believe in themselves!

To feel emotionally free!

To build a life they actually love — rooted in purpose and joy!

Freedom for Highly Sensitive People: What it means and why it matters

Freedom is a non-negotiable for me. I am an Aquairus Moon after all!

Emotional freedom.

Time freedom.

Creative freedom.

Not having to work on someone else’s schedule.

Not having to hide who you really are just to survive.

Not having to prove your worth every day just to feel okay!

I want this for you — because I know what happens when HSPs feel safe and supported:

They create magic!

They build businesses, start regenerative projects, make art, form communities, shift systems. Change the(ir) world.

We need that now more than ever!

How I reset when I’m burned out or full of doubt

If you’re feeling heavy this week, please know:

You’re not alone.

You’re not off track.

You’re just being invited to come back into alignment — and that can look like discomfort at first.

This week I’ve needed all my tools!

The answer for me is always surrounding myself in nature, having a bath and tuning in to what I am feeling and tapping it out. Tapping in an Epsom Salts bath is doubly restoring!

Cerato flower essence (for those “I can’t trust myself” moments).

Rest.

More rest.

Letting the tears come when they needed to.

Reminding myself that I don’t have to know everything. Just the next right feeling.

If you’re in this too, here are a few journaling prompts to help:

Journaling prompts to feel clearer and more grounded

1. Where am I pushing myself too hard — and what would it feel like to ease up, even just a little?

You don’t have to keep bracing. This prompt helps you notice what wants more softness right now.

2. If I didn’t have to figure it all out… what would I feel drawn to next?

This is your permission to follow the flicker, not the fully formed plan.

3. What do I truly desire — not just for myself, but for the people and world I care about?

Your desires are connected to your mission. Let them be heard.

4. What’s one small way I could say yes to that this week?

You don’t have to leap. A single yes is enough to shift the energy.

Feeling directionless? This flower essence can help.

If this week’s energy has you floating in the fog — unsure what you’re doing or where you’re heading — Wild Oat is the flower essence I’d reach for.

It’s for those moments where your inner compass has gone quiet.

Where you feel frustrated or you’re despairing because you know you’re not using your potential fully but you really don’t know where to focus it.

Where you’re questioning what you’re even doing here.

Wild Oat doesn’t give you a five-year plan.

But it does gently clear the noise, so you can reconnect with what feels meaningful, soul-led, and true for you.

If Gate 2 has left you feeling a bit unanchored, this essence can help you soften into the question — and trust that clarity will come.

Want to give it all up this week?

A Soul Settler can help.

If this week’s energy has hit you hard — like you’re floating without direction, doubting everything you’ve built, or wondering whether you’re just… done — I see you.

If you’ve been:

• Snapping at your partner or kids, then feeling like the worst version of yourself

• Sitting in front of your laptop, unable to start anything

• Thinking maybe you’re just not cut out for this — even though something in you still wants it

• So emotionally drained, you’re not sure what you even want anymore

That’s exactly what Soul Settler Sessions are for.

In one hour, we clear the emotional build-up and pressure so you can:

• Feel like you can handle the rest of the week

• Make one solid decision without spiralling

• Actually enjoy time with your family instead of faking patience through gritted teeth!

• Feel reconnected to what matters — and steady enough to move forward

It’s not mindset coaching.

It’s real, grounded, emotionally intelligent support for people doing meaningful work in a messy world.
