Your sensitivity isn't the problem—our culture is. Here's what to do about it.


Hi Reader,

I'm thrilled to share my latest episode of Don't Step on the Bluebells featuring transpersonal coach and trainer Jules De Vitto. In Healing with Transpersonal Coaching, we explore the often misunderstood gift of sensitivity and how connecting to something greater than ourselves can transform our healing journey.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by crowded spaces, needed extra time to recharge after social events, or sensed things that others seem to miss completely? You might be among the 20% of people who are highly sensitive – and as Jules reveals, this trait isn't a weakness but a powerful gift that connects you more deeply to intuitive and spiritual dimensions.

If you've ever:

  • Been told you're "too sensitive" or need to "toughen up"
  • Felt overwhelmed by the constant stimulation of modern life
  • Experienced anxiety or burnout that conventional approaches couldn't address
  • Sensed there's something more to life than what our culture acknowledges
  • Found yourself naturally drawn to healing work or supporting others

...this conversation offers both validation and practical wisdom for navigating life as a sensitive soul in an insensitive world.

You'll discover:

  • Why being highly sensitive is an innate temperament—not a disorder or weakness
  • How transpersonal coaching acknowledges our connection to something greater than our individual egos
  • The power of reframing depression or anxiety as meaningful aspects of a spiritual journey
  • Practical ways to honor your unique needs without shame or apology
  • Why sensitive people are often drawn to healing work as "wounded healers"

As Jules shares in this powerful episode: "I would turn it around and say actually, is there something wrong with the culture we're living in rather than the individual? So, instead of diagnosing the individual with a disorder because they're not able to navigate the world, maybe we can start to question actually, is there something wrong with the fact that we are bombarded with so much information 24 hours a day?"

With love,

Amanda

Hi Reader, Sometimes it takes coming back home to remember not only who we are, but how much we've grown. I'm writing this from my hotel room in NYC, just a block from where I worked my first job and seven blocks from my very first "adult" apartment. I'm an hour away from my childhood home, surrounded by the people, places, and memories that shaped me. And something magical is happening - I'm remembering who I am. The girl who protected slugs from her classmates. Who had a favorite tree in...

Hi Reader, I'm excited to share a wild new episode of Don't Step on the Bluebells with you. My conversation with coach and wilderness guide Caitlin Cockerton reveals how reconnecting with nature can profoundly heal not just our inner landscapes, but transform our approach to leadership, creativity, and personal growth. Caitlin's journey from growing up on a Canadian farm to corporate consulting and finally returning to her nature-based roots demonstrates how we often come full circle to...

Hi Reader, I've been thinking about you during these shifting times. We're in a time of great change - a period of uncertainty and transition that has left no stone unturned. There's so much upheaval in our lives - from governments that feel like they're crumbling, to old ways of being that are simply falling away before our very eyes. It can often feel like nothing is stable, there's nothing to hold onto anymore. Our view of who we are and what we're meant to do in this world feels upended....
