Finding Your People
Episode 20 season 6: Biz Cush on Connecting with a Supportive Community
If you’ve often felt like you don’t fit in, listen to this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast as host Elizabeth Cush talks about the importance of finding a community that appreciates and supports your highly sensitive self.
“How many workplaces, events, trainings, parties, groups, relationships have you engaged in that left you feeling drained or overwhelmed or blaming yourself for not being like everyone else?”
Show Notes:
How many jobs or relationships have you had that left you feeling drained? How many parties or events have you been to that felt overwhelming? How many groups have you joined but felt like you didn’t fit in? If any of those scenarios ring true, and you find yourself blaming yourself for not being like everyone else, be gentle with yourself. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and soul support for highly sensitive women, wraps up Season Six with insight into how highly sensitive women can find a community where they are supported and their gifts are appreciated. She shares some of the lessons she has learned on her personal journey as she came to respect her sensitivities. She also guides you through a simple somatic exercise to help you feel the difference when your body is telling you when something isn’t a good fit for you and when it recognizes that a situation or group or person is in alignment with your energy.
