How Sensitivity is Your Superpower

I have been told many times during my life that I am “too sensitive”.

I have been told I need to “toughen up”, “get thicker skin” and “stop being so emotional.” I used to take these comments personally and get quite offended... until I listened deep to my emotional self and realized HELL YES I am absolutely sensitive. I feel things deeply. I cry at sappy commercials. I even shed tears when I am happy.

I also stand up for myself, call people out on their crap and I open my mouth and speak my Truth.

When people don’t like what you have to say, it is an easy out to attack your character and say things like “you are too sensitive.”

Here is my Truth….being sensitive is my SUPERPOWER.

I understand and feel things in every cell of my body. My sensitivity provides the foundation for compassion, empathy and deep understanding. It is this very superpower that allows me not to say a word when I am with a client and my client knows that I get it. It is this superpower that allows me to love others to the depths of my soul and move in this polarized world with grace and kindness.

What could happen if more women OWNED their sensitivity?

What if we stopped apologizing for our emotions, for taking up space or for feeling injustices in the world? What if we allowed our sensitivity to heal ourselves, our families, friends and our part in this universe?

Own your sensitivity, girlfriend. Unleash the superpower that is within you and bring that goodness to the world. When someone says “you’re too sensitive,” put on your cape, adjust your crown, give your best smile and say “It’s my superpower, what’s yours?.”
