If I’m So Smart, Why Am I So Anxious?
Feeling more, sensing more, thinking more, knowing more. Extremely sensitive to sounds, smells, tastes, colors, touch, emotions, weather, food, chemicals, energy, bad news, criticism, the invisible world and beauty.

Do you feel like not enough and too much at the same time?
Do you feel like not enough and too much at the same time? Maybe you feel like you’re not enough because you tend to strive for perfection and you keep raising the bar. Maybe you feel like you’re not enough because you still haven’t found that best friend. Maybe you feel like you’re not enough…
