The Importance of Being in an HSP Community

Are you lonely or feel disconnected or misunderstood? Over years of working with, researching, and teaching HSPs, I’ve learned how powerful it is to be together in a safe and supportive space as sensitive deep feelers in the world. HSPs thrive so fully when we are navigating the world together. Come join my Sensitive Empowerment community and be with your peers!

I wanted to offer that space to HSPs all over the world and I’ve been so incredibly happy to see so many HSPs truly thriving in my Sensitive Empowerment community.

In a recent live chat in my Sensitive Empowerment community, my heart was so happy to see comments like this…

Julie B I love how your vision to connect HSPs has truly happened, and how we in the community share so much love and support for each other. 💕

I’m new here. This is my first chat. And I’m in tears. You are all so supportive of one another and I am in awe.❤️

I'm new here too and feel the same way. Welcome!

So glad I discovered you Julie B and this community you've gathered:)

I'm super grateful to have found the training and this community

I'm so thankful for this neighborhood

I finally know that there's nothing wrong with me. And all of you wonderful HSPs are my people!

Thank you Julie for this group. I'm so glad you were inspired to create this community!

Yes, this community keeps me balanced.

This is my first chat but I can already say I feel less alone in the world and yes, definitely calmer

I am so glad I chose to be here. I had a choice between two events. My inner child was like a cheerleader saying Julie B's name over and over again! So I'm here! and so happy!

So nice to be with all of fellow HSP's today! It's my first visit so I wasn't sure what to expect, but you're speaking to my heart and for that I am truly grateful:)

Thank you everyone once again. I feel much better now. On with the day!!!

Thanks for showing up here everyone! Good to interact with my kind of peeps!

I am so proud of my Sensitive Empowerment Community and wanted to share some of the amazing things new members wrote when they were asked…

-I will love to learn more about the HSP trait and how to better navigate the world with it. While I LOVE my sensitivity, and would not change it for anything in the world, it has also been a source of overwhelm, anxiety, and fatigue for as long as I can remember. Learning new tools, feeling heard and understood and finding ways to thrive will be a blessing <3 

-Hello! I am excited to join the HSP community here. I'm hoping to learn from all of you and to support where I can. I'm looking forward to a day where I can show up in the world without being drained before it starts. Such an honor to be with you.
