- 489 - 199 Mastering Reactions to Change as an HSP in Business
There is just so much that is in motion in the world right now and so much that is unpredictable. Constant change is guaranteed; to try to resist this constant change is only going to make it that much more difficult to navigate. Here’s the good news: managing change as an HSP in business and leadership is a skill that can be learned. When you commit to this process as a core practice, your self esteem strengthens, you’re more easily able to access acceptance and you develop a genuine confidence to manage and master ongoing change as a highly sensitive leader. You can then stop using energy to try to keep change from happening and instead channel that energy into creating the results you want no matter what is transpiring around you. In today’s episode, I share how we are currently experiencing constant change and unpredictability and that the times we are in are not going to be over anytime soon. I discuss the importance of managing our reactions to change as highly sensitive entrepreneurs and leaders and how, now more than ever, we need to commit to the path of mastery in order to grow and succeed through these times in our businesses and our relationships. To better understand this path of mastery, I talk about attachment styles with a focus on shifting from the anxious attachment style to the secure attachment style. I explore the ways that resistance to shifting from anxious to secure shows up, sharing examples I often see with members I mentor in the Highly Sensitive Leadership Training Programs and how by leaning in, joining together, and with the power of aligned community we can truly transcend the ongoing, ever-changing times we are collectively living through. “There is way too much that’s unpredictable, way too many people behaving unpredictably that to try to resist the constant of change is only going to make it that much more difficult for yourself.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 5:13: How to strengthen our reactions to change 5:53: What can crisis look like to highly sensitive people 6:59: What are the highly sensitive attachment styles and how do they respond to change 10:04: Ways that highly sensitives engage in the struggle between choice and action 12.11: How does resistance show up in highly sensitive leadership training 15:35: Final takeaways “As we give deliberate attention to mastering our reactions to change as highly sensitives, our reaction will shift and change. The more we practice over a longer period of time, the more our self esteem will strengthen and more easily we will be able to access acceptance and a new sense of confidence to be able to manage and master change as a highly sensitive leader, and particularly a highly sensitive leader who embraces their essential self.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/199
Wed, 20 Nov 2024 - 18min - 488 - 198 HSP Energy Techniques for Difficult Times
There’s a lot of energy moving right now all around the world, and although your particular flavor of turmoil and chaos may differ depending on where in the world you are, as a highly sensitive your nervous system is feeling it. Whether you’re experiencing political drama, family overcommitments as the holidays approach, challenging business stressors, or even threats to your personal safety all of this can feel especially difficult to manage in the moment. Yet we have the opportunity to practice privilege of agency and take personal responsibility to manage your nervous system reactions to your circumstances. You can make a choice to take action and use energy techniques to ground you and energy management to support you in continuing to take steps to create what it is that you desire and in the way that you desire. In this podcast episode, I share the difference between energy management and energy techniques. I discuss the Bowan Family Dynamics theory and my subjective connection between being highly sensitive and being the absorber of the family. I talk about how this leads us as HSPs to be especially susceptible to nervous system overwhelm as a reaction to what’s happening in the world at this time. If you are an untrained highly sensitive, then you are likely experiencing this energy as stress and are defaulting to fight, flight, freeze, or fawn – or getting triggered into your default coping mechanisms of pushing, hiding, or combo plattering between the two. Yet if you are a trained highly sensitive leader, you can make a choice to take personal responsibility right now and turn to both energy techniques and energy management to ground yourself. Listen in as I share 3 powerful energy techniques to bring calm to your nervous system so you can be of the highest service through business as a highly sensitive leader, especially during times of intensity. “We do not buy into the highly sensitive shadow pathway that everything is happening to us. Instead, we take measures to activate privilege of agency and locate where there is empowerment within choice.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 2:25: Why are energy-shifting techniques important 5:14: How does the Bowen Family Dynamic Theory apply to highly sensitive people 9:18: What is the difference between energy management and energy techniques 10:49: Which energy techniques can we use to calm down 18:35: How to use energy management tools “The absorber of the family is the person in the family who’s designated to hold all of the feelings and specifically anxiety.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: http://www.differentthebook.com/ Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com/ Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com/ Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/198
Wed, 06 Nov 2024 - 20min - 487 - 197 Make Genuine HSP Business Connections
Using your HSP strengths to build genuine connections in your business can support you in business networking, leadership, team communications, and any difficult conversations in your business or personal life. Creating a genuine connection requires mutual trust and understanding as well as vulnerability on both sides. It creates a deeper level of understanding and allows us to grow and learn more about ourselves through learning more about others. The untrained HSP waits for others to take the lead and allows their automatic trauma responses to dictate their relationships, but the trained HSP takes the lead and sets the energy, sets the stage and does it differently. In this podcast episode, I discuss what assumption of positive intent is NOT as well as what it IS and how it specifically relates to making genuine connections as an HSP in business and leadership. I share how assumption of positive intent gives you access to your HSP strengths and I provide the 3 keys to follow in order to form meaningful genuine connections and how this leads to more income. Be sure to listen until the end for a short exercise where I support you in discovering a current situation where you can begin to use these 3 keys to transform your business relationships starting right away. “Assumption of positive intent is the opposite of our HSP shadow of judgment of others.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 1:45: What does it mean to assume positive intent 2:46: How to assume positive intent in five steps 4:21: How does the assumption of positive intent apply to making genuine connections 6:07: What does a genuine connection look like “Assumption of positive intent is not avoiding conflict.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/197
Wed, 23 Oct 2024 - 12min - 486 - 196 Assumption of Positive Intent in Business Relationships
Each of us highly sensitives has our own set of beliefs, perspectives, and experiences that shape how we see everything, including interactions with other people. It can be all too common for us to make quick assumptions and react when someone says or does something we perceive to be intentionally mean or hurtful, especially if it triggers an automatic trauma response. This reaction (or maybe even over-reaction) is due to our assumption of poor intent. In situations like this, an untrained HSP will very likely overreact in some way, maybe lashing out or shutting down as a way to protect and attempt to keep safe. However, trained HSPs can choose to master the skill of assuming positive intent and avoid falling into this trap. In this episode I discuss the topic of assumption of positive intent, sharing more on what it is and why it is so important for us to be in practice with this skill in all our relationships as HSPs, especially in business. I talk about why we struggle with this skill and what we can do about it, outlining five steps that we can take to assume positive intent. Where this can especially come in handy for us as highly sensitives in business and leadership is networking, sales conversations, team hiring, team delegation, and any difficult conversation. Research shows that adopting this positive mindset can can help reduce misunderstandings and conflict with others and overall can also lead to a happier, more harmonious life. And I would add as a result, an experience of less effort, more impact and more income as a highly sensitive leader. “Assumption of positive intent is the opposite of the HSP shadow of judgment of others.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 2:28: What does it mean to assume positive intent 3:21: Why do people assume positive intent in others 4:56: Why do HSPs struggle with the assumption of positive intent in others 7:55: How to assume positive intent in others 10:41: Why you should question your gut reaction “Assumption of positive intent is also the opposite of our HSP shadow of judgment of self and tendency to be self-critical.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/196
Wed, 09 Oct 2024 - 15min - 485 - 195 Shift Unhelpful HSP Patterns
As highly sensitives, we all have unhelpful patterns. It’s part of the process of shifting out of our HSP shadows and stepping into our HSP strengths. For those of us HSPs who choose to be in business and leadership, this shift is necessary in order for us to achieve more peace, productivity and impact. What will support you with stepping into your strengths and identifying current unhelpful HSP patterns is exploring HSP types. This will allow you to further know yourself as a highly sensitive leader more deeply as well as enhance your dominant HSP strengths. In this episode I identify the four different HSP types for you. I also share in detail the strengths and the unhelpful shadow energy drain for each type. Through listening to the different characteristics that make up each type, you will be able to identify which type, or likely a combination of more than one type, most resonates with you. Armed with this knowledge you can use it to uncover your own unhelpful HSP patterns and explore alternatives to enhance your dominant HSP strengths in order to be more creative and productive and then therefore more profitable and impactful in business and leadership. “We all have unhelpful HSP patterns. It is part of the process of going from being an untrained HSP to a trained HSP. It’s part of the process of shifting from HSP shadows to HSP strengths and it is a constant process.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 1:54: How to shift unhelpful highly sensitive patterns 2:50: Why is it important to shift unhelpful highly sensitive patterns 3:44: how to identify unhelpful highly sensitive patterns 5:55: What are the different HSP types “We want to shift our unhelpful HSP patterns all so that we can have more peace in our minds…so that we can be more creative and more productive, make more of a difference for others – more impact – and experience more of what we want – more income – and what that brings to each of us and our own individual life experiences.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/195
Wed, 25 Sep 2024 - 14min - 484 - 194 The HSP Business Power of Both/And
A common cognitive distortion that HSPs fall prey to is all or nothing thinking, which causes you to see the world more negatively than it really is, and is linked to anxiety, depression, and even PTSD. As highly sensitives in business and leadership, it is important to engage in the retraining of your nervous system and develop high functioning skills based on your HSP strengths so you can grow resilience, alleviate anxiety and move forward towards your desires and dreams in spite of any chaos or disruption that is happening around you. All so you are able to walk through and lead the way for yourself, your family and friends, your team, and your clients. In this episode, I talk about the common tendency for highly sensitives to fall into either/or thinking, and how this is often the result of our lifelong experience of feeling othered and misunderstood. I explain that this pattern of thought, that most often is not based on facts, is an opportunity for us to develop high-functioning HSP skills based on our HSP strengths so we can shift into the both/and approach. I share three steps to support you in making this shift and empowering yourself and others to operate from this approach. All so that you can be of highest service not only to yourself, but to others and for the overall betterment of the world. “It’s very fascinating that the belief transformation tool tends to be kind of like the black sheep of the energy management tools.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 1:51: What is all-or-nothing thinking 2:20: What is cognitive distortion 3:21: Why is either-or thinking common for HSPs 5:55: How to move from either-or to both-and thinking 7:09: How does the process of metacognition begin 15:19: Tips for using the both-and approach 18:01: What happens when anxiety alleviates “We tend to favor the Order Form to the Universe, Autowriting and Scripting, and then it’s like, ugh, yeah, that BTT.

Wed, 11 Sep 2024 - 20min - 483 - 193 Turn HSP Empathy Into Compassionate Action
As an HSP in business and leadership, it is important to learn how to first shift from sympathy to empathy, and then from empathy to compassion. To do this we need to actively engage in identifying and experiencing our full range of emotions, and then manage our response to those feelings using nervous system management tools in order to access lightheartedness and flow into hopeful action in spite of. All so we can be of highest service to ourselves, those we serve, and everyone around us. In this episode, I go into depth about the difference between sympathy, empathy, and compassion. I discuss how compassion is where we as highly sensitives in business and leadership are able to make the greatest difference and impact because compassion is the willingness to take action in service to positive change, which is often why we’ve chosen to be in business in the first place. I also share how lightheartedness supports us in being able to make the shift from empathy into compassion and what you can do to access hope and lightheartedness to stay out of the trap of limiting beliefs and HSP shadow behaviors. “Our nervous system is wired to take in stimulation at a much higher degree, which means we are able to really intuit what another person is thinking, what they’re feeling, what they’re experiencing, and when we’re in a strength perspective, that allows us the ability to understand and share the feelings of that other person.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 1:45: What is empathy 3:40: What is the difference between sympathy and empathy 4:25: What is compassion 7:53: How to flow into hopeful action “Compassion is more engaged than simple empathy because it involves the willingness to take action.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/193
Wed, 28 Aug 2024 - 11min - 482 - 192 Achieve HSP Financial Peace
In a time when so many people are operating from fear when it comes to investments and income, it is more important than ever to step forward and show up as leaders in our families, communities, businesses, and organizations. Not through coping, but from empathetic compassion to demonstrate to others how a different way is possible. That you can hold things lightly, care deeply, and act with clarity, even (and especially) with investments and income generation, in order to achieve the financial peace that you desire. In this episode, I discuss the importance of lightheartedness when it comes to your investments and to generating income in your business as a highly sensitive. I share how your nervous system responds to what you feed it, and since we have a higher nervous system response than the other 80%, the non-highly sensitives of the world, the key to our success lies in using both inner and outer core practices to keep our vibe up and access hope over worry. This is our role as a Royal Advisor in these tumultuous times. “We have control over what we feed our nervous system.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 2:35: Why people worry 7:22: How to find financial peace 10:50: What to ask yourself when you want to make change in your life 17:26: How to make use of the royal advisor role “The limbic part of the nervous system responds to what we feed it, worry or otherwise.

Wed, 14 Aug 2024 - 22min - 481 - 191 Business Cost vs. Investment
In order to truly experience abundance as a highly sensitive leader in business, it’s necessary to heal your money story. Starting first by understanding the difference between cost and investment informed by what you define as valuable to you. From there, considering cost as an amount paid or spent to obtain something and investment as an act of devoting time, effort, or energy to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile return. Training yourself to see things through the lens of investment, and most importantly challenge socialized concepts of both cost and investment, is what will bring about an experience of financial ease and fulfillment. When you operate your business from this perspective, it will bring about business miracles for you and those you serve that you cannot even begin to perceive. In this episode, I share how my own shift in perception of cost versus investment was the key to changing my relationship with money and my experience with abundance. I go in-depth about the difference between cost and investment and how taking personal responsibility to release negative beliefs about money and to define what you value – not society, your family, friends, or even your religious values – is crucial in bringing about your own shift in perception and therefore change with your story about money. “Making the mindset shift from cost to investment was key in changing my relationship with money, my money story, and then therefore my experience with abundance.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 4:56: How to shift your perception 6:25: What does the concept of cost do to highly sensitive people 10:45: How to define investment for highly sensitive people “I choose to define what is a worthwhile result for me.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/191
Wed, 31 Jul 2024 - 17min - 480 - 190 Expanded Business Mindset
As an HSP in business and leadership, it’s important to develop an expanded mindset, to be mentally prepared to think beyond what everyone else around you thinks so you can then behave differently than everyone else around you behaves, especially in times of intensity. Developing an expanded mindset is the mental form of going to the physical gym. You don’t go to the gym and take one yoga class or lift one set of weights and expect results. You go back every day until it’s 30 days and then 60 days before you begin to see results. The same goes for developing an expanded mindset. It is a continuous process that requires attention and study to prepare for future moments of challenge and difficulty. It is this mindset that fuels purpose and gives you the courage to stay the course and claim a place among the 20%, as an HSP, who influence betterment for others, whether that be family, friends, coworkers or clients. In this episode I read an excerpt from chapter 4 of my book “Different”, which talks about the importance of developing an expanded mindset as an HSP in business and leadership who is committed to change, growth and evolution. I share the key components necessary to be in continuous consistent practice with challenging your mindset so you can shift your thoughts and beliefs to support you in acting differently, and therefore bringing about a different result. All to help you remain resilient and stay on the path of serving through your purpose-driven business by choosing the way of effortlessness. “If you are committed to change growth and evolution, then you will dedicate yourself to developing an expanded mindset.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 2:02: How to intentionally move toward lightheartedness at work 2:13: Why is community important for highly sensitive leaders 7:26: How to achieve an expanded mindset 9:30: Should you challenge your mindset 11:20: How to lead in your business as a highly sensitive person “It’s important to go beyond only energy management to all the ways you are intentionally challenging your mindset such as what you are listening to, what you are reading, what you are writing, and what you are creating that’s visual.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit – Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit – Stop the Overwhelm: http://www.stoptheoverwhelm.com/ Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/190
Wed, 17 Jul 2024 - 14min - 479 - 189 Claim and Celebrate HSP Business Success
As we cross the mid-year point, this is a great opportunity to check in and reflect on the past six months to acknowledge what you’ve accomplished. However, typically for highly sensitives, what also tends to immediate come to mind are all the things you have not yet accomplished. This tendency can so easily overshadow what you have created so far and cause you to want to quit. Yet, to get what you most want, the key is to celebrate how far you’ve come. This is the way we go from feeling hopeless to hopeful and staying the course rather than quitting and giving up. In this episode I talk about the importance of claiming and celebrating success as a mark of highly sensitive leadership and how this essential practice of visibility and vulnerability is crucial to getting what we want in business and life. I discuss the two reasons HSPs are often so resistant to celebrate what has already been created and how we can shift this. I also share the concept of pacing, like when running a marathon, to stay engaged in the process of transformation in order to combat the experience of fatigue that we bump up against in the final stretch, where sabotage, lashing out, and defaulting to coping often occurs. This teaching is a great opportunity to check in, acknowledge how far you’ve come, fill up with some hope so you can keep going in your business and life growth. Which, ultimately, is about fulfilling and living your life purpose. “It’s the final stretch of a marathon that’s most challenging because this is when the delirium of fatigue sets in…There is a sense that things are helpless, there’s a sense that things are hopeless and it’s right at that delirium of fatigue moment in running the marathon when you want to throw up your hands and quit.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 2:12: What is V&V 4:33: How to use a marathon as a metaphor 5:51: Why is pacing important 7:07: What happens when you are tired 13:37: How to ensure that you get what you want “This place right here, right now is the place to more critically pay attention more than ever.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/189
Wed, 03 Jul 2024 - 19min - 478 - 188 Intentional Use of Tension
Most highly sensitives will use the majority of their life force energy for the majority of their life to do whatever they can to avoid tension. They will do anything and everything to protect themselves from even the possibility of overwhelm. Yet, to be a self-empowered highly sensitive leader, we need to be willing to be pioneers and actively seek out opportunities for transformation. So instead of avoiding tension, we can choose to lean into tension and work with it consciously and intentionally. This focus on the intentional use of tension is not so that we can get through it, but instead be stronger, calmer, and more joyful in however it is that we are meant to answer the call of our purpose. In this episode, I discuss how as highly sensitives we can intentionally use tension in order to continue to create and prosper. I share the four key steps to support this intentional use of tension when we choose to lean in and recognize it as a call for transformation versus destruction. This approach can give us a strength to success in business as an HSP no matter what is happening around us – a power to step up and into the royal advisor role we are called to be in business and leadership. “Most highly sensitives will use most of their life force energy for the majority of their life to do whatever they can to avoid tension.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 1:31: How to define intentional and tension 5:22: How to transform tension 10:20: Why focus on the intentional use of tension 10:59: What type of core practice can you put in place to make better use of tension in your life “You have chosen a path of empowerment through entrepreneurship and leadership.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/188
Wed, 19 Jun 2024 - 12min - 477 - 187 Unrooting HSP Resistance
Being able to shift from resistance to resilience is an important skill to master as a highly sensitive in business and leadership, especially in our current times. Right now, we are all in a collective experience of tension created by seemingly opposing influences that are pushing and pulling and forcing decisions you might not feel ready to make or do anything about. Yet rather than this being a negative experience, this tension can be used as a proactive energy to fuel change and inspire you into action. This is a choice you have – to choose resilience instead of resistance. In this episode, I share how back in 2017 I created a Business Miracles teaching titled: The Path from Resistance to Resilience. This was long before current world events brought all of us into an accelerated experience of more frequent tension and choice points. I discuss how this teaching is necessary now more than ever in supporting HSPs in business and leadership when it comes to accessing resilience through grace and grit, and how the root of most highly sensitive resistance is not overwhelm, but the fear of even the possibility of overwhelm. I also go over the three key elements that will support you with being able to continue to access resilience rather than being triggered into your highly sensitive shadows and coping mechanism. “Will you choose to fall prey to the fear that the media feeds on and outside circumstances? Or will you choose to put in place core practices and tools to manage your own relationship with the fear of the possibility of overwhelm, resistance and choice points?” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 1:49: What is the Business Miracles path from resistance to resilience 3:16: How to cope during a collective turning point 3:59: Which characteristics do we need to access your resilience 7:58: How to cope with the fear of the possibility of overwhelm 13:51: What does auto-writing do for highly sensitive leaders “At the end of the day, you will be faced with resistance as an opportunity to be called up into the privilege of agency, of owning who you are and learning how to work with who you are.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/187
Wed, 05 Jun 2024 - 19min - 476 - 186 Power of Aligned HSP Community
Consistently engaging in nourishing relationships, especially within an aligned community, is a powerful way to accelerate growth and success for HSPs in business and leadership. Being in aligned community removes the element of feeling “other” and gives you access to what Rupert Sheldrake calls the “morphogenetic field”. Through his theory of morphic resonance, groups with a likeness and alignment create accelerated learning simply by being part of that group, making for each member of the community possible, what alone would have been impossible. In this episode, I discuss how I came to see that as HSPs we need to approach business and marketing differently than the other 80% and how community is a key component. I share how I developed the 3 pillars of highly sensitive leadership success (community, core, practice, and consistency), and the 4C’s of marketing success (connection, communication, call to action, and consistency). I go in-depth on how the 4C’s not only apply to marketing but to any relationship, and how community is often something we avoid as HSPs but is the true superpower to success in business and leadership. “What I needed before anything was to be making a connection with those that I was serving.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 2:09: What are the three pillars of highly sensitive leadership 3:23: Why did Heather develop the four Cs of marketing success 7:52: Why do some highly sensitive entrepreneurs resist community 11:17: How does morphic resonance apply to the highly sensitive community 14:20: What is an example of morphic resonance 18:56: How can highly sensitive people benefit from morphic resonance 20:08: What are some phrases to ask for support “If I wasn’t doing it consistently, all the effort that went into the first three Cs didn’t really matter.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about our HSE Training Program and Community: https://www.businessmiracles.com/training-program/ Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/186
Wed, 22 May 2024 - 22min - 475 - 185 Setting Business Boundaries as an HSP
Setting healthy boundaries is an act of resilience for highly sensitives in business and leadership. When we’re living as untrained highly sensitives, and do not create supportive boundaries for ourselves, we end up operating from shadows such as over-responsibility, overprotection, and people pleasing. The HSP leadership opportunity here instead is to take personal responsibility to get clear about what you need, set boundaries based on your needs and values and then take action to create dividing lines that separate your physical space, feelings, needs, and responsibilities from others. All so that you can be of highest service to both yourself and those around you in your business and life. In this podcast episode, I discuss how lack of boundaries leads to lack of focus leaving your energy drained and your business bank account suffering. Most importantly, I share how to get clear about your HSP needs and then specifically how to work with time to honor your needs, and effectively communicate your needs to others (a.k.a. set boundaries) all so that you can be your most creative and profitable self in your business. “Your boundaries tell other people how they can treat you.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 1:44: What do we mean when talking about boundaries 2:08: Why are boundaries important 2:37: What are the consequences of not setting boundaries 3:10: What happens when highly sensitive people operate untrained 6:03: Which tools can help you set boundaries 8:23: What does time off, on, and in look like 9:50: How to set boundaries 13:26: What are tips for productivity rituals “Conscious creation of boundaries for HSPs is the opposite of the shadows of people pleasing, over responsibility, overprotection, perfectionism.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/185
Wed, 08 May 2024 - 16min - 473 - 184 Fuel Your Magnificence
In the journey of becoming and being an HSP in business and leadership, it’s important to consistently engage in the process of shifting from an untrained HSP to a trained HSP. All in order to create with more ease. However, as HSPs we often get caught up in the false belief that in order to succeed in business and leadership we need to do it the same way as the other 80% who are not highly sensitive. So we forgo the value of paced process in exchange for “playing a bigger game hustle” which tends to toss us into the HSP Coping Cycle of Fear/Anxiety/Pushing/Hiding/Shame/Recovery, rather than motivating us to create productively. In this podcast episode, I read an excerpt from my book “Different”, where I share my experience of feeling overwhelmed by the common coaching industry phrase of “play a bigger game” and how it triggered feelings of ‘not enough’ for me rather than motivating me to create more. I discuss how rather than pushing yourself to hustle to play a bigger game, you can access your inner magnitude, the HSP part of you that is connected to inner guidance and the magic of the universe. I share how you can access this part of you through self-inquiry to claim what truly inspires you. To then let this inspiration fuel, motivate, and encourage you to tap into your strengths and create from this space, rather than hustling to try to be someone you’re not and crashing as a result. “We are the balance to the other 80 percent.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 3:38: How do highly sensitive people try to protect themselves 5:08: How does Business Miracles describe the Holy Spirit 8:34: Where should you focus your energy right now 17:27: Which questions to ask to check in with yourself 20:33: How do most highly sensitive people function “Though being of service is one of our greatest motivators as highly sensitive entrepreneurs and highly sensitive leaders and is thoroughly rewarding…it takes a fierce due diligence commitment. ” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/184
Wed, 24 Apr 2024 - 25min - 472 - 183 Embrace Your HSP Difference
Growing up highly sensitive, many of us missed the opportunity of individuation, or differentiation at a young age – what Margaret Mahler refers to as “hatching”. Because of this, we learned to cope and often hide our highly sensitive difference. We developed coping mechanisms of pushing or hiding (or moving back and forth between pushing and hiding) as a way to adapt rather than embrace our uniqueness and differences. Although this an understandable response we developed to keep ourselves safe when we were younger, now it’s time to stop feeling confused and believing you need to deny who you really are in order to be successful in business and life. Everything is now meant to be done differently. In this podcast episode, I read an excerpt from my book “Different”, where I vulnerably share my struggle to write my book. I came to realize I was guided to write it because I was meant to teach HSPs not just how to market and sell in their business differently, but how to step up and lead as a highly sensitive to create greater impact (and income) with a lot less effort through these extraordinary times. I also discuss Margaret Mahler’s concept of hatching – a process of separation, individuation and differentiation – and the four sub-phases in this process. I go into more detail on the differentiation phase and speak to how this specifically impacts highly sensitives and our unique journey in this world as HSPs in business and leadership. “I knew I had been training for the exceptional times of 2020 for my whole life.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 7:38: How to embrace your HSP difference 9:45: Can you stop being overwhelmed by others’ emotions 11:40: How to define hatching 12:37: What are the four sub-phases of hatching 14:04: Why was the concept of hatching controversial 15:37: What happens when you are highly sensitive but your parents are not 17:42: What is the more important area for focus and growth right now 18:12: How to connect with what inspires you“Quote.” – Guest Name / Heather Dominick “It’s time to stop pretending your intuition is less valuable than logic.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Survive to Thrive: http://www.shiftfromsurvivetothrive.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/183
Wed, 10 Apr 2024 - 21min - 471 - 182 Staying Above the Fray
As a highly sensitive person, our neuro-sensitivity is not going away. So, if you are allowing your business or career and life to be dictated by socialized trends, then you are setting yourself up to be in a constant state of anxiety. The focus we want, in order to avoid the comparison traps and pressures of socialized trends, is on how to be able to not only manage our sensitivity, but utilize it in a way that really allows us to show up in business and leadership in the world from a place of highly sensitive strength. In this podcast episode, I discuss the importance of staying above the fray of socialized trends, especially as a highly sensitive in business and leadership. I share how our social self is born as a response to pressure from the world around us. And how if we stay stuck in this comparison trap we are privileging anxiety instead of choosing privilege of agency. Most importantly, I share what you can do instead. “If you are allowing your business to be dictated by socialized trends, if you are allowing your work, your career to be dictated by socialized trends…if you are allowing your life to be dictated by socialized trends as a person who is highly sensitive, you are setting yourself up to be in a constant state of anxiety. You are setting yourself up to be in constant motion with the coping cycle and constant tug of war with resistance.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 2:48: How does research on neuro-sensitivity apply to highly sensitive people 4:36: What does it mean to stay above the fray of socialized trends 11:52: How does staying above the fray connect to privilege of agency 16:06: What is required to stay above the fray of socialized trends “This is not the time in our world to be giving in to the fray of socialized trends, the fear, the anxiety, the divisiveness, and it is not the time to flake out. It is the time to choose to recognize we are in a new world now, my friends, if you’re waiting for it to be over, it’s going to be a long wait.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Stop The Overwhelm: http://www.stoptheoverwhelm.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/182
Wed, 27 Mar 2024 - 19min - 470 - 181 Harness the Power of Privilege of Agency
When we are untrained as a highly sensitive we can often find ourselves stuck in comparison traps – comparing our lives and businesses to to the other 80% who are not highly sensitive, or even to others who are highly sensitive to see if we “measure up”. But this is a guaranteed recipe for failure that will have you operating from your coping mechanisms of pushing, hiding or combo between the two; as well as being stuck in shadows such as people pleasing, perfectionism, and over-responsibility. Instead, we have the opportunity to choose privilege of agency as a healthy approach to making decisions, using discernment and setting boundaries based on our highly sensitive strengths. Only when we do this will we truly be able to remove the shackles of comparison and instead embrace and live from our essential self as a highly sensitive in business and life. In this podcast episode, I go deep into what privilege of agency is, and what it isn’t. I share my own journey of how I developed this concept and how I’ve used it to make massively impactful changes in how I operate. I discuss how it specifically relates to you as a highly sensitive in business and leadership and why this particular teaching is more important now than ever. So you will be able to step out of comparison traps and step up into your purpose and be the change you want to see in the world while also creating the personal success and freedom you desire. “There has always been this wonky energy around this training.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 1:54: What is the privilege of agency 3:24: Why is the concept of privilege of agency difficult for highly sensitive people 5:09: What privilege of agency is NOT 7:44: Where and why did Heather develop the privilege of agency training 13:48: Why is privilege of agency important for highly sensitive people “The concept of privilege of agency is very foreign to us.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Stop The Overwhelm: http://www.stoptheoverwhelm.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/181
Wed, 13 Mar 2024 - 21min - 469 - 180 Heal Business Leadership Turmoil
As a highly sensitive in business and leadership, living on purpose is the ultimate form of self-care. This requires you to face your overwhelm and learn that, as A Course in Miracles states, “peace is part of you and requires only that you be there to embrace any situation in which you are.” Your life purpose is not what you do, or something you find, but is instead something you choose in every decision, action and interaction. It’s not a legacy we leave, but a legacy we live. Our life purpose takes courage to feel what we naturally don’t want to feel. In this podcast episode, I discuss how accessing the power of your heart as a gateway to your HSP Intuition is what will allow you to heal business and leadership turmoil and overwhelm. As well as support you with standing strong in the midst of the fire of our times, and have the passion to pursue your life purpose. I share how the mastery of discomfort resilience takes compassion plus courage, which equals the opening of the heart, and how this process of the opening of the heart requires two very important components. This is a trainable process and a valuable opportunity for growth in order for you to achieve HSP business and leadership success. “Life purpose is not achieved in the midst of comfort.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 3:02: What is our life purpose 4:19 How to apply courage to our lives 5:54: Can you train compassion 8:02: What is the fourth component of emotional containment “Our life purpose is not something we find, it is something that we choose.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Stop The Overwhelm: http://www.stoptheoverwhelm.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/180
Wed, 28 Feb 2024 - 13min - 468 - 179 Reduce Overwhelm with the Science of Containment
The key to reducing overwhelm, especially as a highly sensitive in business and leadership, is to build discomfort resilience through containment as an act of self-care. Containment is NOT about suppressing, ignoring, or soothing your emotions. It is instead about allowing the experience of your uncomfortable emotions without staying stuck in them, and then turning to HSP energy management tools I’ve created like the Order Form to the Universe (OFTU) to support you with accessing your highly sensitive strengths. In this podcast episode, I go deep into what containment is NOT, what containment IS, and how we can shift from overwhelm and overprotection into focus and flow. I discuss how the act of developing discomfort resilience is the opposite of overprotection, and is instead about taking personal responsibility for your emotions, recognizing that they don’t have to control you. It is not the automatic HSP response, but it is a doable, teachable, and important skill to master in spite of what’s happening around you and in the world at large, especially as a highly sensitive in business and leadership. “Our energy, our emotions tend to be felt more deeply by those of us who are highly sensitive.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 5:04: How to grow from personal interactions 5:14: What is discomfort resilience 9:07: Things that discomfort resilience is not 12:21: What are the three elements of containment “We are faced in any given moment with potentially having our nervous system hijacked.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Stop The Overwhelm: http://www.stoptheoverwhelm.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/179
Wed, 14 Feb 2024 - 17min - 467 - 178 Replay: Intuitive Goal Setting
Did you know research shows that a person who sets (and achieves) goals tends to have higher motivation, higher self-esteem and a greater sense of self-confidence and autonomy? Setting an achievable goal also gives a boost to your systolic blood pressure (SBP). However, it wouldn’t surprise me if, as a highly sensitive, your experience with goal setting has been quite different. Here’s why: setting goals rooted in comparison or based on what you think you “should be” doing actually lowers your blood pressure. Which slows you down, and has you feel like you’re trudging through mud – with no motivation to actually take the actions needed to accomplish the goal. In this podcast episode, I’m sharing how to use your highly sensitive strength of intuition to consistently set – and reach – doable goals that will give you an ongoing boost to your systolic blood pressure and keep you motivated and ready to take action. “Intellect alone can only get us so far.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 1:14: How to set goals as a highly sensitive entrepreneur 5:39: What are highly sensitive strengths 8:32: Ways to connect with your big goals 11:27: What does recent research say about goal-setting “We always have a choice between the smaller socialized version of ourselves and the more magnanimous essential version of ourselves.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Stop The Overwhelm: http://www.stoptheoverwhelm.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Listen to The Business Miracles Podcast Episode 177: Burnout Doesn’t Get You Paid: https://www.businessmiracles.com/177 Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/178

There’s no reward for being over-busy except burnout. That old-century definition of success, “the busier you are the more you’ve gotten done” is over.

Wed, 06 Dec 2023 - 37min - 462 - 173 Consciously Create Calm
Typically the end of the year is fraught with excitement, anticipation and maybe even a little bit of dread thrown into the mix. It’s all too common to feel overstimulated and overwhelmed with so many places to be, things to do, people to connect with, and obligations to fulfill. Add in all of the other aspects of these never-ending exceptional times that we have been managing ourselves through and it’s no surprise that so many HSPs turn into massive balls of walking anxiety. “Just coping” through the overstimulation that your nervous system experiences will leave you disconnected, disassociated from yourself, your feelings, and your experiences. Yet, these exceptional times are not for us to bury our heads in the sand and try to simply get through. These times are an opportunity to rise up and this time of year heightens that opportunity more than ever. This episode will teach you: the importance of learning to manage your nervous system rather than be a victim to the highly sensitive nervous system’s tendency to overwhelm in response to stimulation how to set the frame energetically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for this time of year so you can shift past patterns into new opportunities a practical tool that you can use to instantly calm your nervous system when you’re overstimulated and feeling like a massive ball of anxiety “These exceptional times are not for us to bury our head in the sand and try to get it to get through; these times are an opportunity to rise up and this time of year heightens that opportunity more than ever.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 1:17: What does it mean to be at the end of the year 5:05: Why is it important to learn to manage your nervous system 9:10: How to shift past patterns into new opportunities 12:28: What is a practical tool to instantly calm your nervous system “That uncertainty of feeling often comes from the experience of typically only coping through the overstimulation that our nervous system experiences and coping only or being in the shadow state of being highly sensitive typically will have you disconnected, disassociated from yourself, then therefore your feelings, and then therefore your experience.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Learn more about the HSE Training Kit: Stop The Overwhelm: http://www.stoptheoverwhelm.com Learn more about the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myHSEtype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/173
Wed, 29 Nov 2023 - 22min - 461 - 172 The HSE Shadow of Comparison
The HSE shadow of comparison has a tricky way of sneaking up on you and catching you unaware. One minute you’re scrolling through social media and the next, seemingly out of nowhere, you find yourself feeling less than, not enough, and like you just don’t measure up. If you’re not careful, it will suck you dry of happiness before you even realize what’s happening. For us Highly Sensitive Entrepreneurs and Leaders, the path of consciously rewiring our nervous system to be able to function optimally in all parts of our business and lives includes actively working to change our relationship with comparison. In this episode you’ll learn: the most common types of comparison that typically affect a highly sensitive person how unhealthy comparison impacts not only your happiness but also your ability to be productive in your business what’s needed to shift those unconscious patterns into a healthy use of comparison that can fuel you, inspire you, and motivate you to adapt, receive, and create. “Comparison is all about how you choose to use it.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 1:22 How to change your relationship with comparison 5:04 Ways to use the HSE Shadow of Comparison as a strength 6:16 How to shift unconscious patterns of comparison “There’s been a habitual pattern created over time, often enforced by our family of origin to register the difference between yourself and someone who’s not highly sensitive as less than or not enough.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Get your copy of DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution by Heather Dominick: http://www.differentthebook.com Check out the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/172

Listen now to learn how to begin the process of mastering challenging conversations so you can express yourself clearly and confidently when it comes to: marketing yourself engaging in selling conversations challenging clients regarding their blind spots managing team members setting boundaries with family and friends “By avoiding difficult conversations, we are then living the limiting belief that unbearable emotions are your burden.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 1:55 What qualifies as a challenging conversation 5:01 Why is it important for highly sensitive people to consider challenging conversations 6:06 What happens when we don’t have difficult conversations 11:16 When to have a difficult conversation 14:27 What results from a difficult conversation 17:10 How to support yourself in mastering difficult conversations “For us as highly sensitive entrepreneurs and leaders to avoid difficult conversations is actually disempowering.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Read Heather’s Transformational Blog Post: How to Shift a Difficult Conversation into an Empowered Conversation: https://www.businessmiracles.com/how-to-shift-a-difficult-conversation-into-an-empowered-conversation/ Check out this HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/171

All while also positioning herself to create jobs and provide opportunities that allow and empower others to have more work/life balance as well. “When you are stressed and frazzled, you don’t have a lot of perspective on the situation that you’re in, but I look back often to maybe a way I used to work or I think that like, oh, I used to travel with this schedule and how in the world did I do it?” – Jennifer Ricards Show Notes: How to know if you are highly sensitive Ways to advocate for yourself How to become fulfilled at work Tips for using Highly Sensitive Leadership skills Where was Jennifer’s turning point “You think you have to work your way up and put in those long hours and work hard and everything will flow from there, but I think actually what was happening was I was working myself farther down the stress and travelled path.” – Jennifer Ricards Links and Resources: Connect with Jennifer Ricards on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-ricards-3407b317/ Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/168

Wed, 21 Jun 2023 - 17min - 450 - 161 Cultivating Happiness Post Pandemic, Part 2
Within the midst of the disruptive times that we are living through it can feel weird to be talking about happiness. But it’s actually not, and here’s why: Shawn Achor, author and researcher of The Happiness Advantage, says that, “Happiness is not about lying to ourselves or turning a blind eye to the negative, but about adjusting our brain so that we see the ways to rise above our circumstances. To take it one step further, as highly sensitive entrepreneurs and leaders who are called to serve as the royal advisors of the world, prioritizing our own happiness actually directly, positively impacts others. By cultivating your own happiness, you’re actually making it easier for others to experience happiness as well. In Part 2 of this three-part episode series, I’m teaching you two significant tools you can use to move out of the highly sensitive shadows of overprotection, judgment of self and others, or the need for drama. All to support your own happiness and self-created success as well as the happiness of others. You start by using your highly sensitive strengths of deep thinking and deep feeling. Come and listen in… “You can deepen your levels of happiness when happiness doesn’t seem like a choice anymore.” – Heather Dominick Show Notes: How to cultivate post-pandemic happiness Does success lead to happiness Is happiness a choice What is the Tetris Effect How to use the energy management tool of scripting to increase happiness What are two significant happiness tools How is gratitude related to happiness What is the happiness advantage “Tracking journaling over time to see a progressive change increases the ability for accessing resilience to then actually be able to make the change.” – Heather Dominick Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/161
Wed, 07 Jun 2023 - 15min - 449 - 160 Cultivating Happiness Post Pandemic, Part 1

Listen in to learn how to navigate change and reach your business and career goals as part of being on the path to cultivating happiness. “As a community of highly sensitive entrepreneurs and leaders, there was more of a propensity, meaning an intense natural inclination or preference, towards doom and gloom.” – Heather Dominick Show Notes: What is the happiness advantage How does happiness affect performance What is the relationship between productivity and positivity What has changed since Heather first taught the happiness advantage How do we define the path to success What are the five yays “The path to success for us as highly sensitive entrepreneurs and leaders is the Shadow to Strengths Pathway.” – Heather Dominick Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/160
Wed, 24 May 2023 - 25min - 448 - 159 The Path to Empowerment
Today’s topic is the path to empowerment. When a life situation happens (as they continually do) do you feel like the burden of taking care of everyone always falls to you? Maybe you feel like you’re consistently being wronged by others? Or perhaps you feel as if, no matter what you do, all of the bad things just keep happening to you? If any of these experiences sound familiar, you might be caught in “The Drama Triangle”, unconsciously acting out a pattern that has you taking on the shadow roles of Rescuer, Persecutor, or Victim – and essentially giving away your power. Join me as I share how to move out of the dreaded drama triangle and onto the path of empowerment instead. Learn to shift out of the shadow roles of Rescuer, Persecutor, and Victim and into the empowering roles of Coach, Challenger, and Creator, powered by your Highly Sensitive Strengths of Empathy, Intuition, and Creativity. “Each of us has a tendency towards a dominant drama, yet we all experience elements of each of the three dramas.” – Heather Dominick Show Notes: How to move out of the drama triangle Ways to shift out of shadow roles What is the NFD Theory How to employ the Karpman Drama Triangle What are tips for letting go of the desire for drama What does the shadows-to-strengths pathway do “Each of the three dramas ultimately is triggered by a sense of fear.” – Heather Dominick Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/159
Wed, 10 May 2023 - 13min - 447 - 158 Mastering Change
If there’s one thing I know about highly sensitives, it’s that change tends to shake us up. And if there’s one thing I know about change right now, it’s that collectively and personally, change – big and small – is happening for all of us more quickly and more frequently than ever before. Here’s the real jiggy when it comes to change: it’s not really about what the change brings, but how you handle what the change brings. You can choose to instinctually REACT from a place of anger, sadness, and resentfulness, as though something is happening to you. Or, even though you may still feel all of those things, you can choose to pause, manage your energy, access your highly sensitive strengths, and RESPOND from a place of calm and grace. Listen in to learn what’s really needed to master your highly sensitive nervous system so you use the choice points of change as opportunities to create betterment in your business, your life, and in the world. “Resistance is having your back to the ocean. Resilience is the willingness to face the waves.” – Heather Dominick Show Notes: What is equanimity How to begin mastering change How to define resistance What is the difference between resilience and resistance How has Heather mastered change in her own life What is the value of resisting yourself and your wants “The untrained highly sensitive says: this is happening to me.” – Heather Dominick Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/158
Wed, 26 Apr 2023 - 16min - 446 - 157 Intuitive Goal Setting
Did you know research shows that a person who sets (and achieves) goals tends to have higher motivation, higher self-esteem, and a greater sense of self-confidence and autonomy? Setting an achievable goal also boosts your systolic blood pressure (SBP). However, it wouldn’t surprise me if, as a highly sensitive, your experience with goal setting has been quite different. Here’s why: setting goals rooted in comparison or based on what you think you “should be” doing actually lowers your blood pressure. Which slows you down, and has you feeling like you’re trudging through mud – with no motivation to actually take the actions needed to accomplish the goal. In this podcast episode, I’m sharing how to use your highly sensitive strength of intuition to consistently set – and reach – doable goals that will give you an ongoing boost to your systolic blood pressure and keep you motivated and ready to take action. “Intellect alone can only get us so far.” – Heather Dominick Show Notes: How to set goals as a highly sensitive entrepreneur What are highly sensitive strengths Ways to connect with your big goals What does recent research say about goal setting “We always have a choice between the smaller socialized version of ourselves and the more magnanimous essential version of ourselves.” – Heather Dominick Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/157
Wed, 12 Apr 2023 - 21min - 445 - 156 Leading with Empathy
Our highly sensitive strength of empathy helps us relate and connect deeply with others, giving us the ability to inspire and empower their lives. Yet, it’s common to disconnect from empathy as a strength due to the limiting beliefs we’ve developed from past unconscious training. Just because you can imagine or understand how another person is feeling, doesn’t mean you’re responsible for that feeling. Join me as I share a hot take on empathy versus sympathy and how you’re actually meant to use it as one of your highly sensitive strengths. Learn to lead with empathy, in service to fulfilling your business and life mission as a highly sensitive entrepreneur and leader. “We have the ability to be empathetic as a strength without the automatic trigger of the empath mirror neuron response.” – Heather Dominick Show Notes: What is the definition of empathy How to use empathy as a highly sensitive strength What is the difference between empathy and sympathy What is the difference between empathy and being an empath Can empathy be trained How to cultivate empathy as a strength “When you are caught in perfectionism you are preoccupied with yourself even when you try to convince yourself that you are focusing on someone else.” – Heather Dominick Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/156
Wed, 29 Mar 2023 - 25min - 444 - 155 Releasing Perfectionism
The Highly Sensitive Shadow of perfectionism is an inborn trait that influences the way we see and process the world. Perfectionism is linked to anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and a host of other mental health issues that highlight just how unhealthy operating from this shadow is. So how do you work with your highly sensitive shadow of perfectionism? Listen in to learn the key to flipping the switch on perfectionism (and the limiting beliefs and overwhelm that come with it). As well as a step-by-step process that you can begin to put into practice to support you with rewiring your nervous system. Get ready to show up in the world from a place of optimal health and well-being – mentally, physically, and financially. “Perfectionism is often mistakenly seen in our society and western influenced culture as desirable or even necessary for success.” – Heather Dominick Show Notes: What is perfectionism What is the key to releasing perfectionism How can highly sensitive leaders work with their perfectionism What are the drawbacks to perfectionism How to use the AUK Process What triggers perfectionism Why is it important for highly sensitive entrepreneurs to access their empathy How is perfectionism related to judgment “Perfectionism may be hardwired in the nervous system.” – Heather Dominick Links and Resources: Listen to The Business Miracles Podcast Episode 154: Expand Your Mindset Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/155
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 - 17min - 443 - 154 Expand Your Mindset
Today I talk about how to expand your mindset. Growing up as a highly sensitive person, most of us weren’t taught how to effectively work with a nervous system that overstimulates so quickly and easily. As a result, we often default to what I call “either/or thinking”. “Either it’s perfect OR it’s a disaster.” “Either I do only what I want right now or I’m stuck doing what I don’t want forever.” “Either everything is easy and successful, not challenging, or I’m sad, stuck, stressed, angry, a failure, not having fun, and don’t know my purpose.” Sound familiar? Either/Or thinking is a learned behavior as a result of missed attempts to manage anxiety. And a very common experience for those of us who are highly sensitive. This means – Good News Alert! – it can also be unlearned. In this podcast episode, I’m sharing how to unravel yourself and expand your mindset from limited either/or thinking to access a both/and mindset instead – opening up a whole new world of possibilities and creative solutions. “Either/Or thinking is the opposite of the process of re-return and recommitment.” – Heather Dominick Show Notes: How to manage perfectionism Signs that you are struggling with perfectionism What is the relationship between overthinking and the shadow of overprotection Examples of either/or thinking How to move away from either/or thinking Ways to expand your mindset “Developing a both/and mindset has been proven via research that it is learnable and possible at any age.” – Heather Dominick Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/154

Wed, 11 Jan 2023 - 21min - 436 - 147 Hatching The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution
Most of us who are highly sensitive didn’t have parents, teachers, or mentors in our lives who understood that our nervous system processes the world differently. Because we were misunderstood, we didn’t receive the support we needed to learn how to use our highly sensitive nature to work for us. Instead, we learned to pretend we are someone we’re not; to disallow our needs, to devalue our worth, and to hide our difference. In this episode, I’m sharing how to shift the highly sensitive shadow of people pleasing so you can show up authentically in the world to fulfill your destiny, your vocation, and your life purpose. It’s time to embrace your differences and accept the challenge of learning to lead and live your life from a place of your unique, highly sensitive strengths. “Most of us were not taught how to use our nervous system to work for us.” – Heather Dominick Show Notes: How to stop pretending Tips to stop people pleasing What is hatching How does hatching apply to being a highly sensitive leader Ways to refocus How does upbringing affect highly sensitive leaders What is the childhood trauma associated with being highly sensitive Why is individuation important “The purpose of individuation is to bring about wholeness in the individual.” – Heather Dominick Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/147
Wed, 04 Jan 2023 - 18min - 435 - 146 Attachment Styles
When you’re operating from an anxious attachment style – filtered through fear, hurt, anger, and rejection – it’s all too easy to become overly sensitive to others’ actions and moods. To take others’ behaviors too personally. Which can leave you feeling (and acting) highly emotional, argumentative, combative, and irrational. There is a better way. Join me as I share what’s really needed to make the journey from anxious to secure. In this episode, you’ll learn how to manage and communicate your emotions and needs honestly, openly, and with empathy, so you can create an experience of trust and mutuality – for yourself and others. Change the pattern. Do it differently. “The longest journey is between the head and the heart or between understanding and knowing.” – Heather Dominick Show Notes: What are the different types of attachment styles How to go from anxious to secure What does a secure attachment style look like Tips for managing emotions Ways to communicate how you feel and what you need What is the definition of courage How to define conviction What is the opposite of courage How to pinpoint where you are stuck What would change if you ask for support “Anxious is cowardice and doubt; secure is courage and conviction.” – Heather Dominick
Wed, 21 Dec 2022 - 13min - 434 - 145 Consciously Creating Transition
To be able to operate optimally as a highly sensitive and reduce nervous system overwhelm, you need to consciously create transitions. This is what I call entry/ re-entry.
