you’re holding it all together


But no one sees what it’s costing you.

On the outside, you’re doing great:

You’re driven. Self-aware.
Always thinking three steps ahead.

...but no matter what you do there’s still that sense that something’s missing.

You’re craving more meaning.
More alignment. More authenticity.

And even though you're sensitive and feel so much…
you don’t always know how to express it.

You don’t like crying.
You avoid getting angry.
And sometimes feel shame around having emotions.

So instead you stay composed.
Try to make sense of it all in your head
(Hello overthinking).
And quietly carry A LOT.

You’re also incredibly tuned in to other people.
You can feel shifts in the room.
Pick up on how others are feeling.
And you often adjust yourself to avoid conflict or keep the peace.

It's exhausting.
And some days, your sensitivity feels like a weakness.

But it's not.
It’s a survival strategy you developed to feel loved, safe and accepted.

And the truth is:

You’re not broken.
You’re not too much.
You’ve just been surviving.

But you deserve more than survival.
You deserve inner freedom.

That’s the work I do.

I help sensitive high achievers build a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

If you ever want to have a chat, just reply this email with "This resonates".

No pressure. No pitch.
Just a real conversation between two sensitive humans.

Much love,
Alex

August 2023.I volunteer for an impromptu speech at a Toastmasters event. A few hours earlier I’d given my first paid talk and was still riding the high. The host asks me a question. I begin speaking, but notice someone in the crowd with a stern expression. Suddenly my mind goes blank. Nothing. For almost a minute I stand there frozen, words gone, a deer in headlights. I somehow finish and sit down. That moment haunted me for months. Every time I thought about speaking again, the same images...

The single biggest mistake I made when trying to build my dream life:𝗔𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲.Asking advice from people who weren’t living the life I wanted to live.As a result:I got advice based on their reality.Based on their limiting beliefs.Based on their fears.And despite them having the best intentions, it made my dreams feel impossible.It made my dreams feel out of reach.Because the people you ask for advice will shape your reality.They’ll influence your thinking.They’ll...

Exhaustion isn’t weakness.It's a message.Your mind can ignore it.Your calendar can override it. But your body will always tell the truth. At first it whispers: fatigue, tension, headaches.Then it gets louder: insomnia, burnout, illness. And if you still don’t listen, it will scream. Because your body doesn’t care about your deadlines. It doesn’t care about your image.It doesn’t care about who you think you need to be. It cares about survival. For Sensitive High Achievers, this is the hardest...
