Designing a Sensitive World by Christine Magnussen
Guest Post
Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) are the changemakers! Imagine a world where the majority of people are highly sensitive, bringing a depth of compassion, intuition, and keen problem-solving skills! Ten sensitive Sages explored this vision in a profound live online event. They brought their collective wisdom, meeting in small groups to design a world addressing social justice, neighborhood design, climate and natural spaces, sustainability, and intergenerational communities.
This is just one of the many stimulating events in the Sensitive Sages group for HSPs 60+ who are drawn to this unique online community.
Sages use these words to describe the group:
Welcoming
Gentle
Enlightening
Hopeful
Belonging
Fun!

Host of The HSP and Neurodivergent Blog
Julie Bjelland, LMFT, is a mom, licensed psychotherapist, and founder of Sensitive Empowerment. She specializes in supporting sensitive and neurodivergent individuals. Julie is dedicated to spreading awareness about the value of neurodivergence, fostering understanding and acceptance of differences, and teaching tools to reduce vulnerability to mental and physical health challenges. Recognizing the importance of early education and tools, her heartfelt children's book series featuring her sweet and sensitive dog, Niko, provides essential support to help children flourish. Autistic and sensitive, Julie drew inspiration from her experiences to create the character Juju. Explore her extensive resources at JulieBjelland.com.
Some men have expressed frustration about my focus on women’s autism experiences, but this emphasis addresses a longstanding research gap that makes women-centered support essential.
