Have you spent your life being told you’re too sensitive, too emotional, too intense, or that you need to “toughen up”?
What if the problem was never your sensitivity?
In this episode of *Overstimulated and Over It*, Blair Pfeiffer explores what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and how that experience can become even more intense when ADHD and perimenopause enter the picture.
From noticing every shift in tone and feeling overwhelmed by noise, crowds, and conflict, to carrying emotional conversations for days afterward, Blair shares her own experience as a highly sensitive person and explains why sensitivity isn’t a character flaw. It’s a nervous system trait.
When deep processing, sensory sensitivity, emotional intensity, ADHD, and fluctuating hormones collide, life can start to feel louder, brighter, faster, and more overwhelming than ever before. But instead of trying to become less sensitive, Blair offers a different approach: learning how to better support your nervous system.
This episode is a compassionate reminder that sensitivity isn’t something to fix. It’s something to understand, honor, and care for.
