  • Being able to shift from resistance to resilience is an important skill to master as a highly sensitive in business and leadership, especially in our current times. Right now, we are all in a collective experience of tension created by seemingly opposing influences that are pushing and pulling and forcing decisions you might not feel ready to make or do anything about. Yet rather than this being a negative experience, this tension can be used as a proactive energy to fuel change and inspire you into action. This is a choice you have – to choose resilience instead of resistance.

    In this episode, I share how back in 2017 I created a Business Miracles teaching titled: The Path from Resistance to Resilience. This was long before current world events brought all of us into an accelerated experience of more frequent tension and choice points. I discuss how this teaching is necessary now more than ever in supporting HSPs in business and leadership when it comes to accessing resilience through grace and grit, and how the root of most highly sensitive resistance is not overwhelm, but the fear of even the possibility of overwhelm. I also go over the three key elements that will support you with being able to continue to access resilience rather than being triggered into your highly sensitive shadows and coping mechanism.

    “Will you choose to fall prey to the fear that the media feeds on and outside circumstances? Or will you choose to put in place core practices and tools to manage your own relationship with the fear of the possibility of overwhelm, resistance and choice points?” – Heather Dominick

  • Consistently engaging in nourishing relationships, especially within an aligned community, is a powerful way to accelerate growth and success for HSPs in business and leadership. Being in aligned community removes the element of feeling “other” and gives you access to what Rupert Sheldrake calls the “morphogenetic field”. Through his theory of morphic resonance, groups with a likeness and alignment create accelerated learning simply by being part of that group, making for each member of the community possible, what alone would have been impossible.

    In this episode, I discuss how I came to see that as HSPs we need to approach business and marketing differently than the other 80% and how community is a key component. I share how I developed the 3 pillars of highly sensitive leadership success (community, core, practice, and consistency), and the 4C’s of marketing success (connection, communication, call to action, and consistency). I go in-depth on how the 4C’s not only apply to marketing but to any relationship, and how community is often something we avoid as HSPs but is the true superpower to success in business and leadership.

  • Setting healthy boundaries is an act of resilience for highly sensitives in business and leadership. When we’re living as untrained highly sensitives, and do not create supportive boundaries for ourselves, we end up operating from shadows such as over-responsibility, overprotection, and people pleasing. The HSP leadership opportunity here instead is to take personal responsibility to get clear about what you need, set boundaries based on your needs and values and then take action to create dividing lines that separate your physical space, feelings, needs, and responsibilities from others. All so that you can be of highest service to both yourself and those around you in your business and life.

    In this podcast episode, I discuss how lack of boundaries leads to lack of focus leaving your energy drained and your business bank account suffering. Most importantly, I share how to get clear about your HSP needs and then specifically how to work with time to honor your needs, and effectively communicate your needs to others (a.k.a. set boundaries) all so that you can be your most creative and profitable self in your business.

    “Your boundaries tell other people how they can treat you.” – Heather Dominick

  • In the journey of becoming and being an HSP in business and leadership, it’s important to consistently engage in the process of shifting from an untrained HSP to a trained HSP. All in order to create with more ease. However, as HSPs we often get caught up in the false belief that in order to succeed in business and leadership we need to do it the same way as the other 80% who are not highly sensitive. So we forgo the value of paced process in exchange for “playing a bigger game hustle” which tends to toss us into the HSP Coping Cycle of Fear/Anxiety/Pushing/Hiding/Shame/Recovery, rather than motivating us to create productively.

    In this podcast episode, I read an excerpt from my book “Different”, where I share my experience of feeling overwhelmed by the common coaching industry phrase of “play a bigger game” and how it triggered feelings of ‘not enough’ for me rather than motivating me to create more. I discuss how rather than pushing yourself to hustle to play a bigger game, you can access your inner magnitude, the HSP part of you that is connected to inner guidance and the magic of the universe. I share how you can access this part of you through self-inquiry to claim what truly inspires you. To then let this inspiration fuel, motivate, and encourage you to tap into your strengths and create from this space, rather than hustling to try to be someone you’re not and crashing as a result.

  • Growing up highly sensitive, many of us missed the opportunity of individuation, or differentiation at a young age – what Margaret Mahler refers to as “hatching”. Because of this, we learned to cope and often hide our highly sensitive difference. We developed coping mechanisms of pushing or hiding (or moving back and forth between pushing and hiding) as a way to adapt rather than embrace our uniqueness and differences. Although this an understandable response we developed to keep ourselves safe when we were younger, now it’s time to stop feeling confused and believing you need to deny who you really are in order to be successful in business and life. Everything is now meant to be done differently.

    In this podcast episode, I read an excerpt from my book “Different”, where I vulnerably share my struggle to write my book. I came to realize I was guided to write it because I was meant to teach HSPs not just how to market and sell in their business differently, but how to step up and lead as a highly sensitive to create greater impact (and income) with a lot less effort through these extraordinary times. I also discuss Margaret Mahler’s concept of hatching – a process of separation, individuation and differentiation – and the four sub-phases in this process. I go into more detail on the differentiation phase and speak to how this specifically impacts highly sensitives and our unique journey in this world as HSPs in business and leadership.

  • As a highly sensitive person, our neuro-sensitivity is not going away. So, if you are allowing your business or career and life to be dictated by socialized trends, then you are setting yourself up to be in a constant state of anxiety. The focus we want, in order to avoid the comparison traps and pressures of socialized trends, is on how to be able to not only manage our sensitivity, but utilize it in a way that really allows us to show up in business and leadership in the world from a place of highly sensitive strength.

    In this podcast episode, I discuss the importance of staying above the fray of socialized trends, especially as a highly sensitive in business and leadership. I share how our social self is born as a response to pressure from the world around us. And how if we stay stuck in this comparison trap we are privileging anxiety instead of choosing privilege of agency. Most importantly, I share what you can do instead.

    “If you are allowing your business to be dictated by socialized trends, if you are allowing your work, your career to be dictated by socialized trends…if you are allowing your life to be dictated by socialized trends as a person who is highly sensitive, you are setting yourself up to be in a constant state of anxiety. You are setting yourself up to be in constant motion with the coping cycle and constant tug of war with resistance.” – Heather Dominick

    “This is not the time in our world to be giving in to the fray of socialized trends, the fear, the anxiety, the divisiveness, and it is not the time to flake out. It is the time to choose to recognize we are in a new world now, my friends, if you’re waiting for it to be over, it’s going to be a long wait.” – Heather Dominick

  • When we are untrained as a highly sensitive we can often find ourselves stuck in comparison traps – comparing our lives and businesses to to the other 80% who are not highly sensitive, or even to others who are highly sensitive to see if we “measure up”. But this is a guaranteed recipe for failure that will have you operating from your coping mechanisms of pushing, hiding or combo between the two; as well as being stuck in shadows such as people pleasing, perfectionism, and over-responsibility.

    Instead, we have the opportunity to choose privilege of agency as a healthy approach to making decisions, using discernment and setting boundaries based on our highly sensitive strengths. Only when we do this will we truly be able to remove the shackles of comparison and instead embrace and live from our essential self as a highly sensitive in business and life.

    In this podcast episode, I go deep into what privilege of agency is, and what it isn’t. I share my own journey of how I developed this concept and how I’ve used it to make massively impactful changes in how I operate. I discuss how it specifically relates to you as a highly sensitive in business and leadership and why this particular teaching is more important now than ever. So you will be able to step out of comparison traps and step up into your purpose and be the change you want to see in the world while also creating the personal success and freedom you desire.

  • As a highly sensitive in business and leadership, living on purpose is the ultimate form of self-care. This requires you to face your overwhelm and learn that, as A Course in Miracles states, “peace is part of you and requires only that you be there to embrace any situation in which you are.” Your life purpose is not what you do, or something you find, but is instead something you choose in every decision, action and interaction. It’s not a legacy we leave, but a legacy we live. Our life purpose takes courage to feel what we naturally don’t want to feel.

    In this podcast episode, I discuss how accessing the power of your heart as a gateway to your HSP Intuition is what will allow you to heal business and leadership turmoil and overwhelm. As well as support you with standing strong in the midst of the fire of our times, and have the passion to pursue your life purpose. I share how the mastery of discomfort resilience takes compassion plus courage, which equals the opening of the heart, and how this process of the opening of the heart requires two very important components. This is a trainable process and a valuable opportunity for growth in order for you to achieve HSP business and leadership success.

  • The key to reducing overwhelm, especially as a highly sensitive in business and leadership, is to build discomfort resilience through containment as an act of self-care. Containment is NOT about suppressing, ignoring, or soothing your emotions. It is instead about allowing the experience of your uncomfortable emotions without staying stuck in them, and then turning to HSP energy management tools I’ve created like the Order Form to the Universe (OFTU) to support you with accessing your highly sensitive strengths.

    In this podcast episode, I go deep into what containment is NOT, what containment IS, and how we can shift from overwhelm and overprotection into focus and flow. I discuss how the act of developing discomfort resilience is the opposite of overprotection, and is instead about taking personal responsibility for your emotions, recognizing that they don’t have to control you. It is not the automatic HSP response, but it is a doable, teachable, and important skill to master in spite of what’s happening around you and in the world at large, especially as a highly sensitive in business and leadership.

  • Did you know research shows that a person who sets (and achieves) goals tends to have higher motivation, higher self-esteem and a greater sense of self-confidence and autonomy?

    Setting an achievable goal also gives a boost to your systolic blood pressure (SBP).

    However, it wouldn’t surprise me if, as a highly sensitive, your experience with goal setting has been quite different.

    Here’s why: setting goals rooted in comparison or based on what you think you “should be” doing actually lowers your blood pressure. Which slows you down, and has you feel like you’re trudging through mud – with no motivation to actually take the actions needed to accomplish the goal.

    In this podcast episode, I’m sharing how to use your highly sensitive strength of intuition to consistently set – and reach – doable goals that will give you an ongoing boost to your systolic blood pressure and keep you motivated and ready to take action.

  • Typically the end of the year is fraught with excitement, anticipation and maybe even a little bit of dread thrown into the mix.

    It’s all too common to feel overstimulated and overwhelmed with so many places to be, things to do, people to connect with, and obligations to fulfill. Add in all of the other aspects of these never-ending exceptional times that we have been managing ourselves through and it’s no surprise that so many HSPs turn into massive balls of walking anxiety.

    “Just coping” through the overstimulation that your nervous system experiences will leave you disconnected, disassociated from yourself, your feelings, and your experiences.

    Yet, these exceptional times are not for us to bury our heads in the sand and try to simply get through. These times are an opportunity to rise up and this time of year heightens that opportunity more than ever.

    This episode will teach you:

    the importance of learning to manage your nervous system rather than be a victim to the highly sensitive nervous system’s tendency to overwhelm in response to stimulationhow to set the frame energetically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for this time of year so you can shift past patterns into new opportunitiesa practical tool that you can use to instantly calm your nervous system when you’re overstimulated and feeling like a massive ball of anxiety

    “That uncertainty of feeling often comes from the experience of typically only coping through the overstimulation that our nervous system experiences and coping only or being in the shadow state of being highly sensitive typically will have you disconnected, disassociated from yourself, then therefore your feelings, and then therefore your experience.” – Heather Dominick

  • The HSE shadow of comparison has a tricky way of sneaking up on you and catching you unaware.

  • Welcome to this special three-part episode series where you’ll be hearing wisdom and insights from me, as well as hearing from select highly sensitive leaders who are currently creating more impact and more income within their traditional professional roles – and all with way less effort – by applying their highly sensitive leadership skills.

    Join me and special guest Jennifer Ricards, CEO of Ri Management and Executive Vice President, Cynosure Health.

    Listen in to hear how Jennifer made the HUGE shift from constantly feeling stressed out, frazzled, and doing work that she didn’t enjoy, because she struggled so much with advocating for herself and communicating her needs, to truly using her Highly Sensitive Leadership skills to empower herself and work in a way that brings her joy and fulfillment. All while also positioning herself to create jobs and provide opportunities that allow and empower others to have more work/life balance as well.

    “When you are stressed and frazzled, you don’t have a lot of perspective on the situation that you’re in, but I look back often to maybe a way I used to work or I think that like, oh, I used to travel with this schedule and how in the world did I do it?” – Jennifer Ricards

    “You think you have to work your way up and put in those long hours and work hard and everything will flow from there, but I think actually what was happening was I was working myself farther down the stress and travelled path.” – Jennifer Ricards
