Episode 13
“Be professional” is something I heard a lot in my career and is something I see many many Highly Sensitive People are striving for. I, myself did try very hard for years and years to “be professional” until I realised it was utterly counter-productive and in fact, a big hindrance in my development as a human being.
In this episode you will learn about:
BEING professional means different things to different people
How using empty words is a way to put people into boxes and try to fit people into a rigid mould
Change from tribe-centric culture to an age of individualistic realisation
“Being professional” is often a statement used to hide dysfunctional and toxic work dynamics
Wearing masks and hiding our truth
Placing our worth on external factors
Talking less, Doing more
Appearance vs truth
My (expensive) experience with so-called professional business courses and coaches and why it didn’t work
Limiting beliefs and fears associated to work and professionalism
HSPs and perfectionism
Self-censorship
Starting creative projects and keeping at it
Building trust with yourself
What to focus on instead

Astrologer Rob Breszny’s quote when running for council as reported by Mark C. Anderson:
“I was honest. I wanted to disabuse potential voters of the notion that I was a straightforward, no-nonsense candidate.
I assured them poetry and performance art would be a key part of my repertoire as a city council member—just as they had been during the campaign.I told them I would consult my dreams and use astrology and divination as I pondered what positions I should take.
In other words, I would act like myself.”
