How to Stop People-Pleasing: Self-Inquiry for Highly Sensitive People

As highly sensitive people, we often struggle with people-pleasing and setting healthy boundaries. In this episode of All About Soul, I welcome Todd Smith, creator of the popular podcast Stress Management for Highly Sensitive People.

We explore what it means to be a highly sensitive person (HSP), how to manage overwhelm, use people-pleasing behavior as a tool for self-discovery and spiritual growth, and much more!

🔑 We discuss:

    • What defines a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and the D.O.E.S. framework
    • The hidden gifts and evolutionary role of HSP
    • People-pleasing, empathy—and how to say NO with power and compassion
    • Inquiry-based stress management techniques, inspired by Byron Katie's work
    • soul-level and spiritual approach to high sensitivity


    Todd Smith brings practical wisdom and personal experience into our conversation. You can find out more about his work at https://trueinnerfreedom.com/
