Sensitive.
Kim Kimball
The Sensitive. Podcast is for highly sensitive and neurodivergent business owners to be empowered to run their business in a sustainable way that supports their sensitivities and unique wiring. Around here we view running our businesses as a personal growth journey that allows us to learn how to support ourselves through all the things entrepreneurship triggers: the people-pleasing, perfectionism, ”self-sabotage”, resistance, and the overwhelming urge to copy and paste someone else’s version of success.
We will talk about allowing our body to lead our business, honoring our energetic capacity, having more impact with less stress and time, and ways to make running your business sustainable and fun for you as a highly sensitive, neurodivergent person.
Subscribe so that you don’t miss an episode of actionable steps, powerful shifts, and potent inspiration.

Caroline Leon is a business coach who specializes in supporting service-based, online business owners - such as coaches, healers and teachers - to build and grow sustainable businesses using strategies that are rooted in integrity.
It’s her firm belief that when we change the way we do business, we change the world and it’s her mission to support conscious business owners to do just that, in order that we might create a world where business can be a force for good rather than greed.
Caroline’s vision is a world where the primary concern of business is the betterment of humanity and the furtherment of equality, health and wellness of all peoples.
A world where business owners genuinely care for their clients and customers and have their absolute best interests at heart.
A world where the business owners who operate with the highest levels of integrity, are the most prosperous and where meaningful business takes priority over the meaningless.

Ep 6: Create a Business That Prevents Burnout with Alana Jade
In this episode of the Sensitive. Podcast with Alana Jade we discuss:
-how she's carefully and intentionally crafted a life and business that fit her as a HSP after burnout
-how she came up with a business model that honors her highly sensitive nervous system
-how she got the courage to do things her own way and not force herself to work, do online business, travel, or live in the same way as others who are not HSP/neurodivergent
-how you actually may be understimulated as a HSP, and how she gets more stimulus via travel and living abroad
-tangible, practical ways that she has created a life and business that supports who she actually is that others may not think of
I hope anyone who is a highly sensitive or neurocomplex person will find hope in this podcast that you can build a life and business that fits you rather than feeling trapped in a neurotypical box that doesn't work for you!
Alana is an Australian Squarespace website designer specialising in creating websites, branding kits, and design solutions that are gentle on the nervous system, good for people and considerate of our beautiful planet.
Outside of website design, Alana likes to explore simple, slow, minimal, alternative ways of doing business (that don't burn us out... because she's been there and done that… and it wasn't fun!).
When she's not making websites, you can find Alana sauntering along southern-Thailand coastlines, on her yoga mat, dreaming up a wild new creation or way to live and playing old-timey jazz and swing numbers on the clarinet in her band, Latootz.
Alana currently lives and works between Brisbane, Australia and a little island called Koh Lanta in Thailand.
To support this digital nomad lifestyle, she’s deliberately cultivated a business approach that is calm and flexible enough to travel with her wherever she goes.
She also teaches other web designers how to do the same through her one-week website design process and template bundle.
