Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Richard Wray
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.
My very special guest today is Cathy Spaas.
Cathy Spaas discusses highly sensitive people (HSP), a trait where one's nervous system is more sensitive and their brain processes information more deeply. HSPs can feel emotions strongly, both positively and negatively, and are more easily overwhelmed. While this trait can be challenging in high pressure environments like performing, it also provides benefits such as high empathy, creativity, and attention to detail. Cathy helps HSPs understand themselves better and provides strategies to manage stress, including focusing on successes, self-care, and trusting one's vision over seeking constant external validation. She is working on an app to deliver short self-care exercises that can help HSPs thrive even when facing pressure.
