Have you hidden away your sensitivity because others said you needed to be strong? In this episode, I talk with Noni Vaughn-Pollard, about the cost of perfectionism and…
• Setting down the pressure to be like everyone else and embracing the soft, quiet life
• Stepping back from the pressure to be exceptional as a highly sensitive person of color
• Honoring family and cultural values without disregarding your sensitivity
• Seeing perfectionism as a form of self-betrayal and understanding the value of accepting yourself as you are instead
• Using tarot cards as a resource to connect back to yourself and access intuitive messages
• Unhooking from perfectionism through breathwork and vulnerability practices
