The Sensitive Love Revolution (Revisited)

Highly Sensitive, Happily Married ·

2026/02/26

210 High sensitivity is not a weakness in relationships — it’s a powerful advantage. In this foundational episode, you’ll discover why highly sensitive people (HSPs) are uniquely wired for deep emotional intimacy, authentic connection, and meaningful closeness in marriage. (This is a completely remade episode revisiting an old topic) But many sensitive women are told they’re “too much” — too emotional or too intense — when in reality, sensitivity is the very trait that equips you to create ex...

209 (Great to share with your spouse) Why does defensiveness show up so quickly in your marriage—especially when you, as an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) wife, are trying to express hurt or something you're unhappy about?

206 If you’ve ever read a marriage book, heard some relationship advice that seemed logical, or sat in a therapy session and thought, "Why is this so much harder for me than it seems to be for everyone else?"—there is a biological reason for that. Today we dive into what that is, and why a lot of traditional marriage advice just doesn't work for us as highly sensitive people. The truth is, most marriage advice does not take into account the HSP reality – our highly sensitive nervous sys...

The Acceptance Switch: Humanity Over Perfection

Highly Sensitive, Happily Married ·

2025/12/30

205 Why does unhappiness and irritation so often sneak into even the most loving marriages? Usually, it’s through the silent killer of connection: non-acceptance. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the "Acceptance Switch"—that internal shift that moves us from judging our partner’s flaws to making peace with their full, messy, human selves. I share the raw truth about my two marriages: how a lack of acceptance created a cycle of shame and distance in my first, and how conscio...

Developing Your Sensitivity For A Better Marriage

Highly Sensitive, Happily Married ·

2025/12/16

204 Developing your sensitivity, instead of overcoming it, may be one of the best things you can do for your marriage. We HSPs often think of ourselves as “too sensitive”, but actually, our sensitivity is the very thing that can make our marriages richer and better than any others on earth! I often talk about how ”working with” your sensitivity is quite key to your happiness in love– and your whole life, and it is true there are many ways we can learn to do that to thrive. And, we can a...

Ever sounded like that in your head? Ever compared your relationship, or your spouse, to other couples or spouses…and then felt even more unhappy about your relationship? Clients ask me about this often. It's so common that there is a term for it: Compare and despair. Today, we are c...

2025/11/04

One of the common behavior patterns we HSPs can be prone to is people pleasing – or partner pleasing! Interestingly, on the surface people pleasing seems lovely, it can wreak real emotional havoc and really hurt our intimate relationship over time. Today my special guest, Todd Smith, a highly sensitive person and host of the podcast, Stress Management for Highly Sensitive People, and I are going to talk about all about people and partner pleasing: what it looks like, what it leads...

A Habit of Forgiveness

Highly Sensitive, Happily Married ·

2025/10/20

200 I have developed a habit of forgiveness over the years in my marriage. And today I want to tell you about it and why it has saved my marriage–and my own heart– over and over. Forgiveness is so easily misunderstood. I share about how I was confused about it, too, and how, in the past, this led to stopping myself from forgiving things my husband has done that felt hurtful to me. But, luckily, I figured out how to move past that, and I learned how to really forgive. (And t...

The Resentment Resolution Formula

199 Resentment, grievance, and blame: these are not easy things to move past in our intimate relationships, especially, when it feels like your partner has piled on many little – or big – hurts, transgressions, and wrongdoings over the course of your relationship. Resent and blame come very naturally to us as humans, so if you feel them, you are oh-so-normal. AND, they are keeping you locked out of your heart. THey are keeping you from the love you could otherwise be feeling, and the lo...

18 Counter-Instinctual Ways To A Love-Filled Marriage

Highly Sensitive, Happily Married ·

2025/09/16

197 One of the reasons so many marriages and relationships are not as good as they could be, or are really quite painful, is that we tend to approach our relationships in instinctual ways. Since instinct often comes not from our inner wisdom (that intuition’s role), but from our inner protective patterning and our cultural conditioning, following our instinct in our relationship can often slowly –or quickly– erode the love and closeness in it. The truth is that building and mainta...

Active Hope VS Passive Hope

Hope can leave us helpless to change things, OR make us powerful agents of change in our marriages (and other areas of our lives, of course). Today you will hear about the 2 kinds of hope that don’t help, and the 1 kind of hope that makes ALL the difference in your marriage–and in being able to make your marriage the loving one you want.

Where Your Feelings Really Come From

Highly Sensitive, Happily Married ·

2025/07/21

You shape your emotional experiences SO deeply. Even if you can’t see it now, even if it feels like your partner is the main shaper of how you feel in your relationship, even if it seems like you are often emotionally at the effect of the world. YOU, in fact, are the #1 source of your own emotions. This is the best news EVER. Because it means you have so much more power over how you feel in your relationship--and how the relationship goes-- than you've ever known. It’s time to learn to ...
