Welcome to the WANTcast: The Women Against Talk Podcast -lessons in moving forward fearlessly, and spreading the (good) word. In each episode, writer, speaker, coach and WANT founder Katie Horwitch unpacks tips, tools, motivation and inspiration to help you shift your self-talk: the internal narrative you have on loop 24/7 that tells you who you are and who you should be. You can't change the world until you change YOUR world, first - and shifting your self-talk is where it all begins. Dive into topics such as confidence, fear, trust, body image, self-doubt, self-worth, relationships, career, friendships, social issues, and more. Walk away from each episode with hyper-actionable steps to shift your self-talk from reactive to proactive, as well as inspiration to keep going when the going gets tough. The goal isn't to change who you are - it's to BECOME who you know you're meant to be. Get the show notes + more at womenagainstnegativetalk.com

154: The Hidden Power Of Being A HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON with Jenn Granneman
Everyone has a sensitive side, but nearly one in three people have the genes to be more sensitive than others, both physically and emotionally. They tend to be big hearted, creative, and wired to go deep. Yet society tells them to hide the very sensitivity that makes them this way.
Today's guest is Jenn Granneman, author of the new book SENSITIVE: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World. In this episode, we will talk about:
- What it actually means to be a sensitive person and a highly sensitive person
- How to navigate the world on whatever level of the sensitivity spectrum you fall on
- The (genius!!) word Jenn suggests to describe "sensitive," especially when explaining your sensitivity to others
- How to avoid feeling bitter about others' lack of sensitivity
- How to pre-manage events you know will be harder on your sensitivity (ie parties or a day at the office)
- Why certain self-care practices might work the opposite way you intend them to work for sensitive people, and why some might actually work way better and more efficiently
- and so much more!!
Take notes, pass this along to another highly sensitive (or as I call it, spongy) person in your life, or maybe even give it to a loved one to help them understand your own sensitivity.
