The key to thriving in your career as a Highly Sensitive Person isn’t about finding the “perfect job” - it’s about intentionally designing a career that meets your core needs.
I’m thrilled this spoke to you Agatha! I truly believe HSP's have so much to offer, we just don't fit into the normal conventions, so the more we can become aware of our unique strengths, the more we can design careers that help us thrive ❤️
I also feel like your incredible advice would really work for most, whether HSP or not. It's just a healthier approach. Let's hope a lot of people find your work and writing and it inspires them to look for different solutions in life. Crossing fingers for you and thank you again!
I love this so much, it’s so refreshing to read something that speaks right to my core. I never put it together that I am most likely a HSP until right now.
I'm so glad this came at the perfect time for you! I hope it helps to give you some clarity on a path forward. Your writing is exquisite; thank you for sharing this ❤️
I feel this! I just had a job change 2 months ago from a job with set hours and having to be “on” the whole time (customer service) and now am trying to make freelance work and figuring out how to diversify my income streams. I love having autonomy over my time! Not sure how i managed before.
Ha, yes I can totally relate to this Maggie! Once we discover the freedom on the other side, it hard to go back to anything else. That's amazing you're building your freelance career, it sounds like this way of working is really aligned with your needs so congrats on taking a leap that honors this! ❤️
That is interesting. I am a highly sensitive spiritual person. I had a hard time when I worked never really fit in anywhere and didnt share that side at work as I didnt feel that it was appropriate. Now I am growing my writing career on here writing about my spiritual experience and sharing my knowledge.
That's amazing Michele, it sounds like you're creating something that is aligned with your gifts and allows you the freedom to manage your energy and your true nature. Thank you so much for sharing for being here and sharing your story ❤️
I feel so seen! I guess a big step is being clear on the skills we already have that can support this type of career.
Yes exactly Ela, and especially learning how to leverage your sensitive gifts (aka superpowers) - this is the real magic ✨
Thank you! 👏 I'm sure a lot of other people also feel very seen by this post!!

Thank you for sharing your work, it is so helpful in a time where I feel so uncertain. I just wrote about this exact feeling yesterday in a short prose: https://open.substack.com/pub/thefeelingscorner/p/choosing-softness-in-a-world-that?r=59pjqp&utm_medium=ios
