Ep #1: What does it mean to be highly sensitive?

Welcome to the Partnered Path Podcast! My name is Julia McGarey, and I'm a life coach for parents of highly sensitive children. It took me several years after I first heard the term "highly sensitive" to realize that I am a highly sensitive person, and while it's a term that is becoming more mainstream, there are still a lot of misunderstandings and misconceptions when it comes to sensitivity.In this episode, I give you an overview of what it means to be highly sensitive, and what this trait can look like in children.If you have any suspicion that your child might be highly sensitive, this episode is your starting point. And if you don't? It's worth listening anyway. Highly Sensitive Children (HSCs) are the canaries in the coal mines. They show us exactly where old-school parenting strategies fail children, and they help us see how we can adjust to better serve the social and emotional needs of all children in our lives.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/julia-mcgarey/support Get full access to The Blackbird Chronicles at juliamcgarey.substack.com/subscribe This is a public episode.
