Midyear energy brings a natural pause point—a chance to reflect and ask: how can I use this midyear energy to be bold? It’s an opportunity to explore what being bold really means for highly sensitives in business and leadership. Spoiler: it doesn’t have to be big or drastic. In fact, for HSPs boldness is less about force and more about alignment—it’s the intentional practice of stepping outside your comfort zone in service of your essential self. Being highly sensitive and bold is the ultimate intentional use of the tension. Bold doesn’t cancel out sensitive—instead, they amplify each other.

In our final Business Miracles podcast episode, I walk you through what it means to be both highly sensitive and bold, and why that’s not a contradiction—it’s an advantage. We talk about competence and risk as a practice, how to recognize when you’re denying your essential self (and how to pivot), and why boldness is less about hustle and more about alignment. You’ll get a clear five-step process to help you take bold action, rooted in your HSE strengths like intuition, creativity, and deep spiritual connection. This is your invitation to let go of the “other 80%er” (non-HSP) way of doing things and instead lead in a way that’s true to who you are. Along those lines, we will be moving this podcast over to our YouTube channel, where fresh training content, just like you receive here, will be shared twice per week.

Personal branding is vital for how highly sensitives show up in business and leadership. When approached through the lens of your Core Value Offer (CVO)—a teaching I also discuss in the previous episode—personal branding is about embodying the energy you bring to everything you do. For HSPs, this clarity serves as a steady foundation during these continued exceptional times, in a world that often feels overwhelming. It supports marketing, leadership, and visibility in a way that aligns with your nervous system rather than against it, making it a powerful tool for creating more impact and more income, with less effort.

This week’s episode is a continuation from our last episode. In this part two, we explore how to stay visible during challenging times by anchoring into your personal brand. Whether you’re personal experience of challenging times is facing loss, illness, emotional upheaval, or just the disorientation that can come with seasonal shifts, your CVO acts as both anchor and rudder—keeping you grounded while guiding you forward. We talk about how embracing your brand energy allows you to creatively access both/and: you can have BOTH both a sense of disruption from the season of summer AND remain in service. And the golden key to it all is privilege of agency—the reminder that you can design your business and leadership in a way that actually works for you, rather than against you. PLEASE NOTE: We will be moving this podcast over to our YouTube channel where fresh training content, just like you receive here, will be shared twice per week.

For highly sensitives in business and leadership, personal branding is not just about how you market yourself in your business—it’s about who you are and how you show up in every interaction. Before it became a buzzword, I used to teach personal branding under a concept I refer to as “core value offer”(CVO). This teaching offered a deeper, more aligned way for HSPs in business and leadership to communicate who they are and what they bring to the world. Learning to embody your CVO can mean the difference between burnout and powerfully showing up in V&V energy (visibility and vulnerability).

In this powerful episode, I break down the difference between branding as an 80%er (a non-HSP) and branding as a Highly Sensitive Leader. I discuss why the old transactional model of personal branding simply doesn’t work for us HSPs and what works instead. You’ll learn how to define your personal brand in a way that captures the essence of your energy and serves as the foundation for how you show up in everything you do. I also share how when embodying the energy of your personal brand, you create a deeper connection and engagement with people in all areas of your life—the team you lead, your social media followers, and even your spouse and children. Whether you’re an HSP entrepreneur or working in a corporate environment, your personal brand matters—and now, more than ever, is the time to lead with it.
