Sensitive and Strong
Welcome to Sensitive and Strong! I know how easy it is to believe your sensitivity is your greatest weakness, but through this podcast, I’ll show you how it can become your greatest strength. Together, we explore the many layers of being highly sensitive, including the unique experience of the Highly Sensitive Sensation Seeker (HSP-HSS), a nervous-system profile combining Sensory Processing Sensitivity with High Sensation Seeking, known through our work as The Wild Sensitive. We’ll dive into the challenges, joys, relationships, personal growth, and powerful gifts of sensitivity, while sharing inspiring conversations, practical tools, and meaningful insights to help you embrace who you truly are. Hosted by Annet van Duinen, Professional Certified Coach (PCC), pioneering author, and International Consultant on High Sensitivity, trained by Dr. Elaine Aron.

In this heartfelt episode, I talk with Lorna Bode, artist, educator, and founder of Pause for Creativity, to explore how creativity can serve as a guiding compass for Highly Sensitive People. Lorna’s journey spans teaching, international adventures, and deep personal transformation, all rooted in a lifelong connection to creative expression. From clay to conversation, she shares how creativity isn’t just a hobby, but a healing force, a mirror, and a path home to ourselves. Together, we talk about the role of art in emotional resilience, the power of safe spaces like her HSP Café in Bath, UK, and how embracing our creative spark can help us navigate a world in a wonderful HSP way.
Whether you're an artist, a seeker, or someone simply craving deeper connection, this episode is a soulful invitation to pause, create, and come back to your sensitive self.
