Strong Woman Spotlight
ALISSA BOYER Do you get stressed when you have too many things happening at once? Do you feel like you have a sixth sense and can pick up what people are thinking and feeling? Does it drive you crazy when the lights are too bright, the TV is too loud, or the room is messy? You might be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), just like me and our Strong Woman Spotlight for this issue, Alissa Boyer. Alissa supports HSPs in such a beautiful and empowering way that I just had to share with you. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered my own HSP superpowers. Alissa’s story and teaching style resonate with me personally and are a perfect fit for all women (not just HSPs) in our community. She graciously shares her story and more in our interview. Read on for revelations! BELINDA: For our readers that are unfamiliar, can you tell me what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person? And tell me how your company/website support women that are HSPs? ALISSA: Being highly sensitive is a trait that impacts about 15-20% of the population. The term HSP was coined in the early 1990's by Researcher and Psychotherapist, Dr. Elaine Aron. The scientific term for being an HSP is "Sensory Processing Sensitivity".
