The Unsung Heroes: A Tribute to Highly Sensitive Men

In this episode, we delve into the misunderstood world of highly sensitive men. Inspired by my mentor, Dr. Barbara Herlihy, a pioneer of feminist theory in psychology, we explore how this theory benefits not only women but also men, particularly those who are highly sensitive. Amidst the current climate of women's empowerment, I share my concern about the marginalization of men, drawing from personal experiences and highlighting the positive influence of sensitive men in my life. We look at questions and struggles of highly sensitive men of all ages, underscoring the importance of fostering healthy masculine energy without stigmatizing sensitivity. The conversation also delves into the balance of power in gender relationships, emphasizing the need to educate both sexes about their inherent strengths and not to abuse them. We address the fears around male energy, particularly for those with traumatic histories, and suggest working towards building trust and safety. The goal is to keep the conversation going, encouraging understanding, acceptance, and most importantly, communication in our diverse world.

Emotional Badasses are survivors, thrivers, seekers, and healers! This show provides essential emotional education on topics such as Mental Health, HSPs (Highly Sensitive People), narcissists & manipulative personalities, healing from trauma and PTSD, calming your nervous system, inner child work, and setting healthy boundaries. Expand and awaken to your higher purpose, be more present and authentic, find strength in spirituality, quiet the monkey mind of modern society with meditation, and connect deeply with yourself and safe others. We let go of what doesn't serve us to heal old wounds, find our voice guilt-free, and learn to be the hero in our own story, embrace guerrilla self care, and laugh with lightness on the self development path. This show is designed to mindfully be the emotional education so many of us crave; emotional badass is where we learn to love ourselves without apology. Emotional Badass is where Moxie Meets Mindful.
