Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Beth dives headfirst into the emotional deep end after her therapist suggests she explore what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Spoiler: it’s not just about crying during sad movies—though Beth does cry at movie trailers, opening credits, commercials, and sometimes even random songs. She talks about what it’s like to walk into a room and instantly pick up on the vibe, how overstimulation sneaks in when you least expect it, and how being deeply moved by the world isn’t a flaw—it might just be wiring. Along the way, she ropes Chelsey into the investigation, asking her some classic HSP questions… and guess what? Chelsey might be one too. With 15–20% of the population identifying as HSPs, Beth unpacks why this isn’t about being “too much”—it’s about feeling things more deeply and fully. Tune in as the two best friends laugh, talk about getting emotional, and explore what it means to finally have language for experiences that have always felt just a little extra.
