• 69 | Your Energy Is Sacred: Learning to Choose What You Carry - with Alexandra Goldwell 02.07.2026 31мин

  For decades, my guest couldn't stop absorbing the emotions of everyone around her - her clients, her students, and even strangers in a room - and it took her years to understand she wasn't broken. She was highly sensitive, and no one had ever taught her what to do with that. In this conversation, somatic therapist and counselor educator Alexandra Goldwell shares what three decades of working with highly sensitive people (and being one herself) has taught her about energy, emotion, and self-trust. We talk about why crying, anger, and grief are not problems to be managed but information to be honored, and why the HSPs who feel most depleted after social gatherings are often the ones who never learned to express rather than just absorb. Alexandra also opens up about the inherited beliefs many women carry about their own worth, and how those imprints, passed down through generations, shape the way we overgive, overstay, and undervalue ourselves in relationships. In this episode, we cover: Why "what's wrong with me" is often the first stop on the road to understanding sensitivity Simple, elemental practices for clearing absorbed energy at the end of the day (nature, water, movement, sweat, tears) How to build a relationship with difficult emotions instead of fearing them Why expressing yourself in social settings changes how drained you feel afterward The difference between honoring someone else's story and abandoning your own energy to hold it A favorite moment:"Your energy is sacred. You are the one who chooses where to spend it, where to put it, who gets the honor of being with it. You're the one who decides." Be gentle with yourself this week. Take care.

• 68 | Falling Back Into Old Habits Doesn't Mean You're Failing 25.06.2026 8мин

  Lately, I’ve been having similar conversations with several of my clients. They find themselves back in old habits and old thought patterns they were sure they'd already worked through, and the frustration that follows can be brutal. There's this quiet shame that creeps in, like the work was supposed to be finished by now and certain challenges should have been resolved for good. So today I'm revisiting an episode from last summer that captures exactly what's going on. Because slipping back into old patterns isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It's simply a normal part of the process. In this episode, I talk about: Why personal growth isn't a straight line, and what it actually looks like to be "in a dip" Why old thought patterns resurface when you challenge yourself in new ways The stock market mindset shift that makes setbacks feel less like failure If you've been feeling discouraged because you're back in a place you thought you'd left behind, this episode is going to meet you right where you are. Growth was never meant to be a straight line. The dips are part of the climb. Connect with Me: 📩 info@allyssya.coach 📅 Book a consultation
• 67 | Why Social Settings Leave You Completely Drained 18.06.2026 16мин

  You're in a room full of people you genuinely like. A topic comes up. You have something real to say. And then the internal checklist starts. Is this the right moment? Will that sound weird? What if they disagree? By the time you've run through all of it, the moment is gone. You say nothing. You leave early. And the next three days, you replay everything you wished you had said. Today I’m talking about what is happening when social settings leave you completely drained, and why it might not be what you think. Inside this episode: Why highly sensitive women often leave social settings exhausted, and what's really driving it The internal editing process that's happening in real time and what it's costing you energetically The difference between needing solitude to recharge and recovering from self-suppression What becomes possible when you stop filtering yourself before you even speak The fatigue is real. But so is what's underneath it. You're not drained because you can't be around people. You're drained because showing up as a filtered version of yourself is exhausting in a way that showing up as the real you simply isn't. Ready to explore what this looks like for you with some support? I'd love to connect. Schedule a free consultation If this episode felt like it was written for you, pass it along.

• 66 | How to Have Self-Compassion When It Feels Like Your Inner Critic Is Always Winning 11.06.2026 17мин

  There's a voice inside. You know the one. The one that shows up when your needs feel like too much, when you're convinced you're a burden, when you're replaying a moment everyone else has probably already forgotten. And instead of offering yourself any grace, you listen to it. You agree with it. You let it win. In this episode, we're talking about what it means to have compassion for yourself, not as a concept, but as something you can practice in the real, hard, tender moments of your life. What's inside: The dictionary definition of compassion  A personal story about fragrance allergies, shame spirals, and the moment I recognized I wasn't giving myself what I give everyone else Why the critical voice in your head is not you, it's a part of you, and understanding the difference A simple three-part compassion check-in you can use the next time that voice gets loud Having your own back in a hard moment isn't weakness or indulgence, it's the same steady, generous presence you've always been able to offer the people you love. You never needed to earn it. You've always had it inside. It's time to turn it toward yourself. Ready to start giving yourself compassion with support?

• 65 | A New Way to Think About Your Sensitive Mind - with Tricia Veldman - Part 2 04.06.2026 27мин

  In Part 2 of my conversation with Trisha Veldman, we pick up where we left off and move into some of the most thought-provoking territory of the entire conversation. We discuss being the movie star of your own life, what it truly means to be powerful and poised, and a perspective on creativity and overthinking that I genuinely have not been able to stop thinking about since we recorded. In this episode we cover: The story behind Powerful and Poised and why Trisha believes sensitivity and confidence were never opposites What it means to be the "movie star of your own life" and how that shift in perspective can free you from the exhausting cycle of self-consciousness Why people are wired for creative expression and the fascinating prehistoric research that backs it up The game-changing insight that your rumination and overthinking are actually creative energy in disguise Connect with Tricia: Trisha's website: powerfulandpoised.com Instagram: @powerfulandpoised YouTube: @powerfulandpoised TikTok: @powerfulpoised Book: Create and Receive, Make and Believe by Patti the Poetess Trisha's HSP Poem: Don't miss the final minutes of this episode where Trisha performs an original spoken word poem that captures what it feels like to live as a highly sensitive person.

• 63 | The Healing Power of Seeing Yourself: A Boudoir Journey to Self-Love - with Vanessa Isenbarger 21.05.2026 27мин

  What if the most radical thing you could do for yourself was simply allow yourself to be seen? In this deeply personal and inspiring episode, I sit down with boudoir photographer Vanessa Isenbarger, a woman whose lens has transformed the way countless women see themselves. With over 15 years behind the camera, Vanessa has built more than a photography business. She has created a sacred space where women walk in carrying their fears, their doubts, and their "not yet" excuses, and walk out seeing themselves for the breathtaking, powerful women they truly are. This conversation is one I have been holding close to my heart, because this year, in honor of turning 47 and celebrating the life of my grandmother, I finally did the thing I had been putting off for nearly seven years. I booked my boudoir shoot. And Vanessa was the one behind the camera. Together we talk about: Why the "right time" is whenever you feel the pull The fear almost every woman carries walking into a shoot and what happens when she sees her photos How boudoir photography is about so much more than beautiful images The beliefs we carry that were never ours to begin with and how to choose new ones on purpose Why the thing that just won't go away deserves your attention Vanessa's journey into boudoir began at her own lowest point, when she turned the camera on herself and discovered something unexpected. That vulnerability became her driving force, and now is the foundation of every session she shoots. This episode is a love letter to every woman who has skipped the party, avoided the photo, or waited until "someday" to take up space. Your someday is now.

• 62 | The Other Side of Hard 14.05.2026 25мин

  Last week we talked about the discomfort of speaking up for what you want and need. This week, we're continuing that conversation because speaking up is a hard thing. And hard things? Sometimes we avoid them because we think it’s easier, but the truth is the easy route costs us more than we realize. On May 2, 2026, I crossed the finish line of a half-marathon that has lived on my goal list for nearly 30 years. And when my friend texted me and said, "You know you could drive that distance faster, right?" She wasn't wrong. But that's exactly the point. In this episode, I'm getting honest about the times I signed up and didn't follow through, the physical limitations and setbacks that made training anything but glamorous, and what it actually felt like to finally do the thing I kept not doing. I'm also sharing a recent conversation with a client who went to the dentist and why that dentist appointment changed how she sees herself. Every hard thing you do becomes evidence. Evidence that you are capable, that you can tolerate discomfort, that you can show up for yourself. That evidence is what self-assurance is actually built on. Not confidence that everything will go well, but trust in yourself when it doesn't. We also talk about something I think gets missed in conversations like this: the difference between forcing yourself to do something that is wrong for you, and pushing yourself to do something that is simply hard. Those are not the same thing, and that distinction matters. In this episode: Why the easy route isn't actually free and what it quietly costs you over time The difference between hard and wrong (and why getting this right changes everything) How to start building your own evidence file and why most people never do If something in this episode resonates, I'd love to work with you.

• From The Highly Sensitive Woman to Sensitive & Self-Assured: Why I Changed the Name of My Podcast 13.05.2026 5мин

  In this short but intentional episode, I'm walking you through the thought process behind changing the name of this podcast from The Highly Sensitive Woman to Sensitive & Self-Assured, and why this shift feels more honest about where we've always been headed. The original name served its season. But over time, I found myself wanting to lead with a destination rather than a label. So many of us have spent our whole lives being defined by our sensitivity, and I didn't want to add to that. I also share why I've moved away from the "sensitivity as a superpower" framing that's popular in this space. Not because there isn't beauty in reclaiming something we've been criticized for, but because putting sensitivity on a pedestal can create just as much pressure as treating it as something that needs to be fixed. For me, sensitivity is neutral. It's simply a trait, not a badge or a burden. What I am passionate about is the power of AND. You don't have to resolve your sensitivity before you're allowed to feel grounded, steady, or sure of yourself. You can be sensitive and self-assured at the same time, right now, as you are. This isn't a rebrand. It's a more honest name for the work we're doing together.
• 61 | Choosing Discomfort That Sets You Free 07.05.2026 19мин

  Have you ever stayed quiet about something small only to watch it snowball into something much bigger in your mind? You're not alone, and this episode is for you. I'm revisiting one of my favorite episodes from last May, but first I'm getting real about something that happened to me recently, because even after years of doing this work, I still fall into old patterns sometimes. I stayed silent about some small things, let my brain spin stories that turned out to be completely wrong, and eventually said something in a way that hurt someone I care about. But here's what was different this time: I went back, apologized for how I said it, and later had the conversation I actually needed to have. The relationship is genuinely better because of it. And I'm getting what I need. Turns out it wasn't a big deal at all. That's the journey. And that's exactly what this episode is about. In this episode, we talk about: Why staying silent feels safer but actually costs you more How unspoken expectations become what Neil Strauss calls "premeditated resentments" The surprising truth about where resentment really comes from Why both choices - speaking up and staying silent - involve discomfort, and how to choose wisely How to start small and build the skill of expressing your needs with kindness and confidence The discomfort of staying silent never goes away. But the discomfort of expressing your needs? That one gets easier. If you recognized yourself in this episode and you're ready to stop shrinking and start speaking up without exploding, over-explaining, or spiraling with guilt afterward, I would love to support you. That one small act of reaching out? That is you starting to express your needs. I'll meet you right there. 📅 Schedule Your Consultation Enjoying the podcast? Leave a review and let me know.

• 60 | The Freedom of No Longer Trying to Fit In - with Sara Gilbert 30.04.2026 36мин

  What if the thing you spent years trying to hide is actually your greatest gift? In this episode, Allyssya sits down with award-winning business coach, speaker, and Forbes Coaches Council member Sara Gilbert to talk about what it really means to be a highly sensitive woman and why it might just be the most powerful thing about you. Sara opens up about growing up feeling like her sensitivity was a flaw, spending years trying to fit into a box that was never built for her, and the transformative journey that brought her back to herself. From showing up to her first NLP training in a suit to now speaking on stage barefooted, Sara's story is one of radical self-acceptance and purpose. Together, Allyssya and Sara explore the freedom that comes when you stop fighting who you are and start using it to change the world around you. In This Episode, You'll Hear: What it was like growing up highly sensitive before there were words for it Why Sara believes highly sensitive people are responsible for the next human pandemic - a sensitivity pandemic The powerful role language plays in shaping our relationships with ourselves and others What it means to "feel" the frequency of words The difference between "important" and "relevant," "famous" and "known," and why the smallest words create the biggest shifts "If you want to be exceptional, you have to understand that you're going to be the exception." — Sara Gilbert   Resources: 🩵 Connect with Sara: sarahgilbert.coach 🩵 Follow Sara on Instagram: @sarahgilbertstrategist   Connect with me:  Allyssya Gossett Coaching Instagram Facebook   Work with me:   Are you ready to stop fitting in and start stepping into who you truly are?

• 59 | Four Ways to Stop Blocking Your Purpose and Start Living It 23.04.2026 20мин

  Have you done everything "right"? The journaling, the retreats, the personality tests, the conversations with mentors, and still feel like your purpose is just out of reach? You are not alone, and it is absolutely not a failure of effort. In this episode, we explore why the traditional tools for finding purpose often fall short, and what might be getting in the way. The truth is, purpose isn't something you think your way to, it's something you feel. And when you've been in a long season of stress, survival, or quietly managing everyone else's needs, that felt sense of purpose can go very, very quiet. We talk about: Why so many purpose-seeking frameworks miss the crucial ingredient of inner quiet The signs you may be outsourcing your sense of direction without realizing it The difference between analyzing your life from the outside vs. gently feeling into it from the inside What "managing yourself" really looks like (and why it's not a flaw) Four practical ways to create the conditions for your purpose to emerge rather than forcing it to appear This episode is an invitation to ease the pressure, get curious, and trust that what you've been looking for isn't as far away as it feels. You are never too late for your purpose. Ready to stop outsourcing your sense of direction? Schedule a free 60-minute consultation by emailing info@allyssya.coach.
• 58 | Why You Keep Comparing Yourself to Her (And What You’re Really Looking For) 16.04.2026 22мин

  You know her. The woman who seems calm in hard conversations. The one who doesn’t spiral, doesn’t overthink, doesn’t fall apart. And somewhere inside, a quiet question rises: Why can’t I be more like that? In this episode, we move beyond the usual advice to “just stop comparing yourself” and take a deeper, more honest look at what comparison is doing beneath the surface. Because it’s not really about becoming her. It’s about trying to escape the discomfort of being you. We explore how comparison becomes a tool your brain uses to explain pain and how that pattern quietly turns into a war against your own emotions. Most importantly, we talk about what shifts when you stop fighting yourself, and how self-trust begins to rebuild from that place. In This Episode, We Explore 🩵 Why comparison isn’t random, it’s targeted and protective 🩵 How “compare and despair” reinforces the belief that something is wrong with you 🩵 Why your sensitivity is not the problem, but your relationship to it might be 🩵 How comparison becomes a default coping tool and how to shift it   What if the women you compare yourself to aren’t doing it “right” they’re just doing it differently? And what if your way isn’t wrong, just unfamiliar, unpracticed, and unsupported? Maybe you haven’t been trying to feel less. Maybe you’ve been trying to feel safe enough to feel without it meaning something is wrong with you.   If You’re Ready for More   If you’re ready to stop turning against yourself and start building real self-trust where you have your own back, email info@allyssya.coach to schedule a complimentary consultation.   And if you’d like a simple, supportive place to start, you can join the One Step Healthier Summit April 20-25, 2026.

• 57 | Creating Emotional Safety in Relationships - with Diane McDowell 09.04.2026 28мин

  In this episode, I’m joined by someone who has shaped my personal journey, especially during a pivotal time in my life.   Diane McDowell is a therapist of 25+ years turned relationship coach, and she’s also the person who first introduced me to the concept of being a highly sensitive person. That moment gave me language for something I had felt my entire life, but never fully understood.   Together, we explore what it really means to be highly sensitive in relationships, why so many of us believe something is wrong with us, and how to shift from self-rejection to self-trust.   We also dive into emotional safety, the concept of a “brain hijack,” and practical ways to stay grounded and connected even in the moments that used to completely overwhelm you. What We Talk About The internal “tug-of-war” and how to drop the rope What a brain hijack is and how to recognize it in real time Why emotional safety is your responsibility and what that really means The difference between reacting from pain vs. letting pain move through you Why not all conflict needs to be resolved The power of visualization and building a relationship with your future self If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too much,” or like relationships take more out of you than they should, this conversation will help you understand why. More importantly, it will show you that nothing is wrong with you.

• 56 | Creativity as Regulation: Using Art as a Tool for Healing - with Lexi Reid 02.04.2026 33мин

  If you’ve ever told yourself “I’m just not creative”, this episode is going to gently challenge that belief. In this conversation, I’m joined by creative wellness coach Lexi Reid, who works with high-achieving women in STEM to ease stress and burnout through simple, accessible creative practices. With a background in science and regulatory work, Lexi shares how she rediscovered creativity not as something to produce, but as a powerful tool to regulate the nervous system, process emotions, and reconnect with yourself. We’re diving into: ✨ Why creativity is a regulation tool, not a performance ✨ How highly sensitive women can use art to calm overwhelm ✨ The difference between creating for output vs. process ✨ How perfectionism blocks creativity ✨ Simple, low-pressure ways to start a creative practice today ✨ How visual expression can reveal patterns you don’t notice in words Creativity is not about talent—it’s about access.You don’t need to be “artistic” to benefit from creative expression. Start simple.A pen, paper, and a few minutes is enough to shift your state. Process over product.The goal isn’t to make something beautiful. It’s to feel something, release something, or understand something. Your nervous system responds to gentle, repetitive motion.Even drawing lines or shapes can move you from stress to calm. What you create reflects what’s happening internally.And sometimes what you don’t include says just as much. Sometimes, the simplest mark on a page can be the first step back to yourself.

• 55 | How to Stop the Post-Decision Spiral 26.03.2026 22мин

  Have you ever made a decision… and then immediately started questioning it? You send the text, set the boundary, make the choice, then your mind jumps in:“Did I say the wrong thing?”“Was that the right decision?”“Should I have done something differently?” If this feels familiar, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m continuing the conversation from last week on decision-making, and focusing on what happens after the decision is made. Because learning how to support yourself after a decision is just as important as making the decision itself. When you don’t have a way to navigate what comes next, your mind will keep pulling you backward - replaying, second-guessing, and rewriting what has already happened. I’m talking about how to step out of that loop and… 🩵 Why the post-decision spiral happens 🩵 How your brain and nervous system are trying to protect you from regret and disconnection 🩵 The difference between reflection and rumination 🩵 Why replaying decisions can slowly erode your self-trust 🩵 A simple, supportive process to move forward with more steadiness Self-trust isn’t built by making perfect decisions. It’s built by learning how to support yourself after the decision is made.   Work With Me This is a core part of the work I do with my 1:1 coaching clients - learning how to step out of the spiral, regulate your nervous system, and build deep, steady self-trust.

• 54 | There Is No “Right” Decision: 4 Tools to Stop Overthinking and Start Moving Forward 19.03.2026 17мин

  For many highly sensitive women, decision-making can feel overwhelming. We want to be responsible. We don’t want to waste time. We don’t want to make the wrong choice or disappoint someone else. So we think…and think…and think some more.   But what if the idea that there is a single “right” decision is actually the thing keeping you stuck?   In this episode, I challenge the belief that decisions are right or wrong and offer a different perspective: decisions are directional, not permanent.   A recent hike up Camelback Mountain in Arizona was a crash-course in decision-making and a perfect parallel for making decisions in our everyday life. The next step only becomes visible once you start moving. But, taking the first step can be the hardest part, so I share several practical tools to help you move out of indecision and start building the self-trust that comes from taking action.   This conversation includes:   🩵 Why highly sensitive women often get stuck in overthinking 🩵 How fear can disguise itself as “being responsible” 🩵 Why indecision still moves time forward 🩵 The surprising way momentum builds self-trust You don’t need certainty to take a worthy step because confidence is not the prerequisite for action. It is the byproduct of it.   Choose one decision you’ve been putting off and try using the tools from today’s episode to move forward.   Ready for support in your own next step? If you’ve been circling the same decision or feeling stuck in overthinking and self-doubt, I invite you to schedule a consultation.

• 53 | The Power of Taking Action 12.03.2026 16мин

  This week’s episode is a special one. 🎉 The Highly Sensitive Woman is celebrating its one-year anniversary, and I’m reflecting on what this past year of podcasting has taught me about growth, courage, and the power of taking action. When I launched this show on March 13, 2025, I had no idea what would come from it. But I knew one thing for sure: the process of creating it had already begun to change me. Over the last year, this podcast has grown far beyond what I imagined - reaching listeners in 93 countries, connecting me with incredible guests and conversations, and stretching me in ways I never expected. And along the way, it reinforced a lesson I see over and over again in the women I work with: The biggest transformations often begin long before anyone else can see the results. In this episode, I share: What creating this podcast has taught me about confidence and self-trust Why action creates evidence, not the other way around The behind-the-scenes moments of doubt, imperfection, and perseverance How small steps can create ripple effects we never imagined Some exciting hints about what’s coming next for this community If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting until you feel fully ready, confident, or certain before moving forward, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply take the next step. Ready for support in your own next step? If you’ve been circling the same decision or feeling stuck in overthinking and self-doubt, I invite you to schedule a consultation. We’ll talk through what you’re experiencing and explore whether working together feels like the right fit.

She helps women who lift weights stop binge eating and feel proud of their bodies without deprivation, shame, or obsession.
