Well2You Podcast

This is Sue's first solo podcast episode! Tune in to hear about what it's like to live as a highly-sensitive person, and even what it means to be a highly sensitive person!

Takeaways:

• A highly sensitive person is someone that reacts or overreacts to things inside or outside of them in their environment.
• One of the challenges of being highly sensitive is not feeling like you're crazy.
• It's hard as a family to make sure that those people that don't react in a highly sensitive way are able to be empathetic to those that are highly sensitive.
• Figuring out how to set boundaries is important to highly sensitive people or just literally just all humans. That very first boundary is going to feel a lot harder than the second one and the third one.
• Tools I use to help keep my body in homeostasis: Flowpresso, IonCleanse Footbath, Infrared Sauna with red light therapy, Castor Oil packs, acupuncture, biological medicine, and more.
