Feeling constantly fatigued and trying to keep a thousand things going at once? It may be time to assess your commitments and decide if you still want to cover those metaphorical checks your past self wrote.

In this episode of the Highly Sensitive Club, Steph Linn (CPC, ACC) discusses the importance of recognizing and adapting to the fluctuating energy levels of Highly Sensitive People (HSPs). She emphasizes the need for self-care, the impact of life transitions on energy management, and the significance of reassessing commitments and priorities. The conversation encourages listeners to declutter both mental and physical spaces, balance rest with productivity, and shift mindsets to foster personal growth and resilience. Ultimately, the episode serves as a reminder that it's never too late to change one's mind and that embracing flexibility can lead to a more fulfilling life.
