I'll never forget going to see A Walk to Remember in theaters and bawling my eyes out.
At one point my friend asked if I was okay, and I noticed she hadn't shed a tear.
Afterwards I felt kind of embarrassed that I'd had such a strong emotional response to a fictional story...but once I learned more about what it means to be highly sensitive, it all started to make sense.
I have always been a deep feeler, and while this felt like a weakness at times growing up, I now see that it is one of my biggest superpowers — not just as a coach, but as a human experiencing life so richly.
That is the true gift of being highly sensitive: all of your senses are heightened.
You feel, see, taste, hear, smell and all around just experience the world more intensely. And while that intensity can be a lot to take in at times, it makes the beautiful moments that much more spectacular.
The way I see it, being wired this way allows you to live life to the absolute fullest.
To be keenly aware of and genuinely moved by simple things that other people miss or are less affected by is truly a gift.
Recently someone asked my husband if he thought our baby might be highly sensitive, and while it's too early to know for sure, I noticed I got genuinely excited at the thought of it. And then I got excited that my initial reaction was excitement 😂
Because I remember the time in my life when I felt ashamed of being so sensitive...and I thought wow, I've really done a 180 to the point where if my daughter is highly sensitive too, I'm thrilled for her! I know how to help her navigate the world in a way that allows her to experience it as a true gift and superpower too.
Sometimes it's hard to realize how far we've come, and it takes these kind of little everyday moments to realize your progress in a certain area.
It really struck me in this moment when I was thinking about my daughter, and I felt compelled to share with you too!
So in case no one has told you lately (or ever):
If you're a big feeler, not only is that a gift for you — but it is also a gift to this world.
We need your ability to tune into energy, to notice the details others miss, to make deep connections, to empathize, to see the beauty in everything, and to care deeply about other humans.
Maybe you've never seen it as a superpower, but I promise you it is.
And once you start embracing it and seeing it that way too, life gets so freaking good.
Celebrating you & your big heart,
Megan
P.S. Running a business as a deep feeler requires a different approach that taps into the power of your sensitivity — instead of overriding it.
Most of the world is not built for highly sensitive folks, and we certainly see that reflected in how a majority of businesses operate.
As a more sensitive soul, your feelings offer you key wisdom and connect you more deeply to your intuition — which are some of your greatest assets as an entrepreneur.
If you've been feeling stuck, frustrated, defeated, or overwhelmed lately, the answer is not powering through.
The answer is tuning into and clearing out what's causing you to feel this way, so you can return to your natural joyful state.
