Welcome to the High Sensory People Podcast with Jane Elizabeth Aston and Elisha May!
We are High Sensory People, which means that like 20-30% of the world’s population, we were born with the genetic trait now referred to as High Sensory Intelligence®. The scientific name of the trait is Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) but it’s commonly known right now as being highly sensitive.
We are passionate about raising awareness of the HSP trait and reframing it from being highly sensitive to High Sensory. We want to increase the visibility of the trait, change how the world sees High Sensory People, and inspire and empower all HSPs.
High Sensory People process the information around them very deeply through all their senses and naturally perceive things that many people miss. We share many similarities in how we experience the world, but we each have our own unique version of High Sensory Intelligence.
Because we process information so deeply, it can be challenging to give ourselves what we need to thrive, rather than just survive, in a world that’s not set up for High Sensory People. But it can be overwhelming, especially before we understand how the trait can work for us, and how resilient we really are. What has sometimes in the past felt like our biggest weaknesses, can in fact, when harnessed effectively, become our greatest strength and source of power.
We are not scientific experts, but we’ve got our lived experience of this trait and we want to share this with you so that the trait is better known and understood. High Sensory People bring so many gifts that the world needs now, more than ever.
We would love you to join us on this journey!
