Ep 24: Non-Toxic Goal Setting for HSP & Neurodivergent Business Owners with Sara Lobkovich

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Sara Lobkovich for a conversation about setting goals that actually support your capacity, not override it. Sara is a coach and strategist who speaks candidly about being twice exceptional, having a trauma-impacted brain, and building a business as a deeply introverted human.
Together, we explore:
What “non-toxic” goal-setting really means
How intrinsic, “selfish” goals lead to deeper alignment
Why this approach is especially supportive for neurodivergent business owners
How to shift from achievement obsession to growth and progress
The power of coherence over consistency
A step-by-step way to set shame-free goals rooted in who you are
The connection between non-toxic productivity and nervous system-informed work
This conversation is full of practical insights and gentle reframes for anyone who’s ever felt like traditional goal-setting just... doesn’t fit.
 
Sara is a strategist, Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) Master Coach, and Nationally Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) who works with purpose-led organizations and people whose identity, cognitive style, or values put them at odds with mainstream business culture.
I help people and teams shift strategy from overwhelming to achievable so they can learn their way to achieving their big, bold goals.

Ep. 22: The Hidden Reason You're Finding It Difficult to Build a Sustainable Business as a HSP

Almost every single one of my clients and business owners that I talk to want to be able to have a sustainable business: to be able to run their business in a way that honors their body, their capacity, their season of life, the way their brain functions best, and the amount of time they have.
They want their business to be stable, reliable, and financially successful-without compromising their wellbeing or their leisure time.
And while most folks have a deep desire for a sustainable business, they often dismiss it as a pipe dream if they are highly sensitive or neurodivergent.
In this solo episode of the Sensitive. Podcast I discuss:
-the hidden reason building a sustainable business may feel out of reach for you as a HSP or neurodivergent business owner
-I give a personal example in my own business that helped me to shift out of this and into honoring my sensitivity, capacity, and season of life in my business
-what I think the most important work for us is as HSP or neurodivergent business owners in order to build a sustainable business
-why HSP and neurodivergent business owners may miss opportunities to do things differently and more sustainably in their business
Let’s be real—most of what’s out there about running a business was not designed for HSPs or neurodivergent entrepreneurs.
The push harder, do more, override your body approach? It doesn’t work for us. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a successful, thriving business. It just means you need to build it in a way that actually works for your unique wiring.
Inside my 1:1 coaching, I help my clients:
✅ Set boundaries and say no without spiraling into guilt.
✅ Create financial stability without sacrificing their well-being.
✅ Move through fear of rejection so they can finally show up fully.
✅ Get out of urgency and overthinking, and into ease and clarity.
✅ Take real, aligned action without slipping into burnout or endless inner work loops.

Ep. 20: Somatic Writing, Authenticity, and Devotional Living with Leesha Mony

In this podcast episode with Leesha Mony, Somatic Psychotherapist, we discuss:
-Leesha's journey to doing somatic work
-how she gets the courage to share such vulnerable things online

-why she views somatics as a crucial part of birth work, and how she pairs these together in her practice

Ep 19: Getting Off The Emotional Roller Coaster of Business Ownership

In this solo podcast episode, I discuss the emotional roller coaster of business ownership. I dive into:
-examples of the "emotional roller coaster" of business ownership
-the difference between supporting the emotional roller coaster with "mindset work" vs. somatics
-the 2 key pieces that mindset work misses, and why it holds you back
-the reasons I prefer somatics with my clients, and why I believe it's more effective than mindset work.
Emotional activation and nervous system activation is a part of business ownership that never "goes away"; it continues to morph, evolve, and change depending on your stage of business.
That means that learning how to support yourself through it is key-and the earlier you can learn that, the better!

In this episode with Mariah Liszewski, SEO Strategist and Educator, we discuss:
-what SEO is and why it's helpful for HSP and neurodivergent business owners
-what is keyword search
-the most common mistakes people make when doing a keyword search and how to avoid them
-how to use SEO on foundational pages of your website like your about page -how you can use SEO to find gaps in the market and know what people really want (before you create it)
-how to get off the algorithm treadmill using SEO
-using YouTube for SEO
If like me, you prefer to use social media as little as possible but need to be visible for your business, this episode will likely be a breath of fresh air!
Mariah is an award-winning SEO Consultant & Educator, YouTube Content Creator & host of a top 10% podcast; Curiously Guided.
She’s a firm believer that showing up on Google and organically marketing your business doesn’t have to be as difficult & overwhelming as everyone makes it (which is what ultimately inspired her to start her YouTube channel in the first place!)
– Since 2015, she’s guided hundreds of clients and students to achieve page-one search results through actionable and practical strategies, ultimately inspiring them to take SEO into their own hands. She’s been quoted on Forbes, interviewed on Business Insider & USA Weekly, and works directly with Semrush Academy as a Course Writer & SEO Subject Matter Expert. When she’s not zippin’ through cyberspace, she’s exploring new coffee shops in search of the best vibes, yapping about Human Design, or testing out new recipes she found on Pinterest.

Ep. 16: 5 Benefits of Slow Business as a HSP or Neurodivergent Business Owner

Most of the business world screams MORE and FASTER and BIGGER from the rooftops.
As highly sensitive or neurodivergent business owners, it’s especially important that we allow ourselves to honor our bodies and move slowly in our businesses and lives, but oftentimes we’ve only ever heard how doing so is a detriment.
What if moving slowly (and counterculturally) in our business was actually highly advantageous?
In this solo episode of the Sensitive. Podcast, I explore:
-5 reasons that slow business isn't just advantageous for you as a HSP or neurodivergent business owner, but also for your business
-why slow business is more sustainable and allows you to be around for the long haul in your business
-why slow business of often more ethical
-how slow business allows more opportunities to be aligned with your values.
I hope illustrating some of the benefits of slow business, especially as a HSP or neurodivergent business owner, has helped you become more confident in doing things your way, even if it is counter cultural.
I’d love to hear how this concept of slow business lands with you. Send me a DM over on Instagram!

Ep 15: Nervous System Regulation is the New Perfectionism with Kim Kimball

As a somatic leadership coach, you'll hear me talk about nervous system regulation a lot.
While nervous system regulation is undeniably important, remaining "regulated" and only being able to take action in your business if you're perfectly "regulated" has become the new form of perfectionism.
In this solo episode of the Sensitive. podcast, I discuss a more helpful definition of what nervous system regulation actually is, and what to focus on instead in order to help you make slow, steady, sustainable progress in your business.
