Oh, and don’t forget your VIP backstage pass…
For sensitive types, high-pressure work can feel like a trap—pulling us into default patterns of behaviour or relational roles that don’t always serve us. But what if the very sensitivity that pulls us in is also the key to breaking free?
That’s exactly what we’re exploring in this episode of The Sensitive Professionals Podcast.
I’m joined by brilliant Lucia Fontaina-Powell, an accredited coach and freelance copywriter, to explore the beautiful intersection of sensitivity, creativity, and pressure, particularly in purpose-led environments.
Lucia shares her experiences—from navigating her own turning point in high-growth startups to embracing sensitivity as a strength in her coaching work.
Here’s what we dive into
How sensitivity fuels creativity and deep thinking.
The challenges of being a "recovering high achiever" in high-pressure workplaces.
The emotional toll of hyper-awareness and navigating volatile team dynamics.
Why reframing "being different" can help you tap into your creative edge.
How sensitivity and creativity intersect to foster unique problem-solving approaches.
Lucia's insights highlight the strengths (and occasional struggles) that come with being a sensitive professional. If you’ve ever felt like sensitivity holds you back—or wondered how to harness it for creative success—this conversation is for you.
