Anne-Kathrin van Tiggelen about freelancing as a highly sensitive person

Note from the editor

Hi there, sensitive soul 💛

For 22 years I didn’t have a word for what I felt. I only knew I noticed more, felt more, and needed more me time than the people around me. Finding out I’m a highly sensitive person didn’t change who I was. It changed how kindly I could treat myself.

Now I’m 34 years old, and I’ve grown so much since I’ve been learning how to embrace my HSP trait. This journal is where we share what we’ve learned since. Some stories are mine, some come from the experts and coaches we’ve worked with or other HSPs, and all of them are written for people who feel life a little deeper.

There’s no right place to begin. Read what calls to you, save what helps, and come back whenever you need to.

With warmth,

Anne-Kathrin
