046 - Why There Is No Such Thing As "Too Sensitive"

As someone who felt the pressure of turning off all outward-facing emotions in my youth, and now struggle to authentically share those still deeply felt emotions with my loved ones, I wanted to chat about our societal norming around being sensitive. We've all heard the clichés by now: it's okay to cry, sensitivity is a gift, men have feelings too, etc...but embodying our pain, anger, and sadness is an entirely different process.

So let's re-sensitize. The world needs more of it.
