Author Jenn Granneman ON: The Hidden Power of Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) in Our Loud, Fast, and Too-Much World

You're too sensitive. You're overreacting. Grow a thicker skin. You take everything so personally. We hear these comments all too often. There's no denying sensitivity is surrounded by stigma. We discourage it in our children, judge it in our peers, and ultimately weaponize it in our relationships with colleagues and family members. While it's not widely understood by the public, sensitivity is an essential human trait. In fact, nearly 1 in 3 people are highly sensitive individuals, and without them, we would not have the theory of evolution, the Declaration of Independence, or Netflix. Jenn Granneman and Andre Sólo are the force behind the world's largest online communities for sensitive people and introverts, Sensitive Refuge and Introvert, Dear. And they're on a mission to break the negative stigma surrounding sensitivity in their forthcoming book, SENSITIVE (on sale 2/28), unveiling the hidden power of highly sensitive people (HSPs) in our loud, fast, and too-much world. Weaving together actionable advice, relatable anecdotes, and the latest scientific research, SENSITIVE shows readers how leaning into their sensitivity can unlock a powerful "boost effect" to launch them ahead in life. Presenting the empowering idea that sensitivity gives you access to five distinct gifts, Granneman and Sólo offers the tools and insights you need to embrace this undervalued strength and leverage it across the most important areas of your life. In this episode Jenn is revealing: - A clear picture of what it really means to be sensitive and what strengths sensitive people bring to the world - What makes the sensitive brain different — and how it's wired to go deep - How the needs of sensitive people differ from those of less sensitive people and people with autism - How to transform one of the misunderstood gifts of sensitive people—empathy into a source of world-changing strength - The common misconceptions about sensitive children—and their secret advantage - The powerful traits of sensitive leaders, who are often the most effective leaders of all Are you highly sensitive?

Please leave a review on Apple Podcasts - even one sentence helps! ABOUT THE BOOK: A paradigm-shifting look at a long-undervalued yet hugely beneficial personality trait, from the creators of the world's largest community for highly sensitive people "Don't be so sensitive!" Everyone has a sensitive side, but nearly 1 in 3 people have the genes to be more sensitive than others—both physically and emotionally. These are the people who pause before speaking and think before acting; they tune into subtle details and make connections that others miss. They tend to be intelligent, big-hearted, and wonderfully creative; they are wired to go deep, yet society tells them to hide the very sensitivity that makes them this way. These are the world's "highly sensitivepeople," and Sensitive is the book that champions them. By the creators of the world's largest community for sensitive people, Sensitive teaches us how to unlock the potential in this undervalued strength and leverage it across the most important areas of our lives: in friendships and relationships, the workplace, leadership, and parenting. Through fascinating research and expert storytelling, Jenn Granneman and Andre Sólo show readers that the way to thrive as a sensitive person is not to hide their sensitivity, but to embrace it—and they demonstrate how to do that in each area of life. Weaving together actionable advice, relatable anecdotes, and the latest scientific research, Sensitive shows readers how leaning in to their sensitivity unlocks a powerful "boost effect" to launch them ahead in life. It hands them the tools and insights they need to thrive as a sensitive person in a loud, fast, too-much world. A powerfully validating, destigmatizing, and practical book, Sensitive plants a gently fluttering flag in the ground for sensitivepeople everywhere. This inspiring book has the power to change—once and for all—how we see sensitive people, and h

S5 Ep 374Bad Vibes Only with Nora McInerny

As a bestselling author and host of a beloved podcast, Terrible, Thanks for Asking, Nora McInerny has captured the hearts of millions by discussing grief and loss with wit and warmth. Now, with her new book BAD VIBES ONLY (And Other Things I Bring to the Table); she turns her eye on our aggressively, oppressively optimistic culture, our obsession with self-improvement, and what it really means to live our lives online.

We meet the people that challenge, question, and make Nora reflect on her own life, habits, and personality: her children, and their homework meltdowns, job searches, and online personalities; her college friend Kathleen, who now lives as a cloistered nun; and her uncle, a philosopher who has never used the internet (gasp!). Nora celebrates the joys and challenges of a blended family, and the surprises brought to bear by her approaching "early" middle age. BAD VIBES ONLY is not only a response to a society that tells us to live, laugh, and love—it's a reminder that in a world where we are more connected to and observed by our peers than ever before, we still deserve the freedom to be ourselves. Nora McInerny was voted Most Humorous by the Annunciation Catholic School Class of 1997. Since then, she's written the bestselling memoirs It's Okay to Laugh (Crying Is Cool Too) and No Happy Endings, as well as The Hot Young Widows Club and Bad Moms. She hosts the award-winning podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking, has spoken on TED's mainstage, and has contributed to publications like The New York Times, Time, Slate, and Vox. She is very tall.

S5 Ep 373Ethnobotanist + Author Dr. Cassandra Quave ON: Nature's Next Medicines

In today's world of synthetic pharmaceuticals, scientists and laypeople alike have lost a connection to the natural world. But in ignoring the potential of medicinal plants, we lose out on the opportunity to discover potentially life-saving medicines. In this episode, ethnobotanist Dr. Cassandra Quave discusses her groundbreaking work at Emory which backs up the argument in her new book, THE PLANT HUNTER: that the key to preventing another global health crisis could very likely be in plants and not synthetic compounds.

As a person born with multiple congenital defects of her skeletal system, Quave had to have her right leg amputated at 3 years old. She spent so much time in the hospital as a child that she ended up falling in love with medicine and grew up volunteering in the ER, when other kids her age were at football games or school dances. Since then her research has brought her to the forests of the remote Amazon, the murky swamps of southern Florida, isolated mountaintops in Albania and Kosovo, and volcanic isles of the Mediterranean, often with children in tow. THE PLANT HUNTER weaves together Quave's personal experiences with medicine, infection, disability, scientific discovery and the experience of being a woman and mother of three in a male-dominated field with a fascinating description of how plantsand microbes interact, how antibiotic resistance evolves, and how Quave is working to figure out how we may be able to overcome it by taking the focus away from synthetic compounds.

S5 Ep 372Author Dana Kay ON: Naturally Reducing ADHD Symptoms in Your Child

As a mother of a child with ADHD, author and Board-Certified Holistic Health and Nutrition Practitioner Dana Kay knows firsthand the struggles that come with parenting a neurodiverse child. She also knows the freedom that is possible once parents learn to reduce ADHD symptoms. In this episode Dana shares shares her personal journey of parenting a child with ADHD, as well as her unique and proven strategies for reducing symptoms naturally. More than 6 million children in the United States have been diagnosed with ADHD with more than 60% of those children solely relying on medication for treatment. Following her son's diagnosis, Dana did what many parents do: began her son on medication. Unfortunately, while helping her son focus, the medication also led to increased anxiety, weight loss, and sleepless nights. Eventually, the side effects became too big to ignore. Leaning on her training in holistic health and nutrition and all of the research she could find, she and her family changed course to an all-natural approach that has enabled her son to thrive. Dana's son is now in middle school, he is happy and thriving and has not been on medication for years.

About Hope In The Heartache "He was born blue; he was barely alive. All the air had been sucked from the room." Kelly Speck had planned for her newborn son, Bennett, to be placed on her bare chest for his first attempt at breastfeeding. Instead, he was whisked away to the NICU. It was, as Speck writes, "the kickoff of a nightmare journey." The doctors said the end was near for Bennett. Was there any hope? Hope in the Heartache, Kelly Speck's true-to-life and immaculately detailed memoir, tells of Bennett's fight to survive and his family's journey through grief and exhaustion in hospitals, churches, and insurance offices.
