Show Notes:
Welcome back, lovely listeners! And a warm welcome to anyone who is new to the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast! As the summer winds down and fall knocks at the door (at least in the northern hemisphere), we usher in Season 6 with a continued focus on highly sensitive women. In this brand-new episode, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a life coach for highly sensitive women, talks about the new season, sensitivity and the need for more self-compassion. She shares stories and insights from her own personal journey and invites listeners to join her in a sacred support circle for sensitive women.
