This resonated so deeply… we can be on the right path but if we don’t feel safe to follow it, it’ll really be another prison. Your safe to be seen initiative sounds so impactful… I’m definitely considering it!

Thanks Kathleen! The cross section of identity and entrepreneurship is endlessly fascinating to me. I'm excited to do a deep dive with a group of HSPs!

Thank you for sharing. I can relate with so much of this! The thought that: "surely once I have my dream business everything will be 'butterflies and rainbows' ".

And I've spent plenty of time re-writing and adding conditional statements, worrying about being misunderstood.

This is so good, Jen. I felt myself nodding along the whole time. (I listened to the audio while in the shower!) And I kept thinking to myself "Yes, yes, I've felt that. Yes, exactly." Thank you for putting it into words. I'll be returning to this essay many times over.
