As a highly sensitive person, do you avoid conflict? Listen in on this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, as host Elizabeth Cush welcomes executive coach and consultant Michelle Gladieux for conversation about communication challenges, conflict management and emotional intelligence.

“The more interested or passionate we are about a topic, sometimes the more dangerous our words and tone can become.”
— Michelle Gladieux

When a work situation doesn’t sit right with you, do you speak up or hold your peace? What about when the boss wants to have a word with you? How do you handle disagreements with your partner or your friends? Do you avoid conflict? Or do you dive in head first and insist that you’re right? Communication doesn’t always come easily, especially if you’re highly sensitive. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a mid-life women’s coach, welcomes Michelle Gladieux, an executive coach, consultant and author of Communicate with Courage: Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges, for a discussion of communication skills for the highly sensitive. They talk about the roots of some common responses to conflict and why these approaches are usually self -defeating, and offer practical strategies and examples of how you can say what you need to say when you want to say it.

Happy New Year! In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast host Elizabeth Cush shares her take on New Year’s resolutions and offers listeners a guided meditation.

“How I can bring more of the good and the positive into my life from last year to this year, and what I can either eliminate or set boundaries around in the past year that didn't sit right with me.”

— Biz Cush

Do you make New Year’s resolutions? Set intentions? Or dive into the new year figuring it out as you go? No matter how you approach it, the new year can be a good time to reflect on what’s working for you and what could be different, on what you would like less of and what you would like more of in your life. If you’re thinking along the lines of “less stress” and “better friendships,” you’re in luck. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a life coach for highly sensitive women, offers her reflections on the new year and thoughts on moving forward as a highly sensitive person (HSP), building strong friendships in midlife and learning to recognize uncomfortable feelings like anxiety. She includes a guided meditation to use when you are feeling stress so you can work with it instead of against it.
