Afternoon Tea in The Realm: Defying Ordinary!
Just this past Friday, Dr Toby and I (Dr Bev) sat down at the dining table over a pot of tea and macarons (delish) while we filmed a video for our ladies in The Realm!
Our Afternoon Tea in The Realm discussion was…Defy Ordinary and what that means to you.
Half an hour of sipping, chatting, taking questions and sharing really fabulous opinions about how highly sensitive, creative and smart women can start defying ordinary in their own unique ways.
Next month’s topic already picked and it will start the New Year off on a high note. Can’t wait to get our member’s opinions on this one.

Fed Up & Highly Sensitive to ‘Too’ Phrases
Here are some of the Top 14 ‘You’re Too’ phrases Highly Sensitive People hear! We know they drive you crazy, but you’ve been told you’re crazy all you life anyway, right?
‘too’ emotional – ‘too’ shy – ‘too’ intense – ‘too’ serious – ‘too’ moody – ‘too’ neurotic – ‘too’ idealistic – ‘too’ dramatic and oh yeah, let’s not forget the obvious…
You’re Just Too Sensitive!
Of course you’ve heard these all your life. They don’t make you crazy, they just mean you are a highly sensitive person.
At the Burnout Queens we celebrate being Highly Sensitive. We both are and we are NO shrinking violets! Being an HSP means you are strong, bold, creative, quirky, and much more. You have a character that needs to be embraced. Find out what it really means to be highly sensitive and how it affects everything from your identity to your relationships to your career choices: The Burnout Queens, Highly Sensitive

Soul Burnout: Being an HSP in Painful Times
“What is this world coming to? What has happened to humanity? I don’t understand…”
These days we are hearing these sentiments from oh so many of our Highly Sensitive Burnout Queens. The anger, suffering and pain in the world, the apparent lack of love, the disbelief that human beings can be indifferent to each other, and we would add the way some humans treat animals with such disregard, and let’s not forget our poor planet! Well it makes us all very sad and weary. Sigh…….
Maybe you are experiencing something similar, a sense of disillusionment, a loss of faith in humanity, the feeling that nothing makes sense anymore. And you know, all that makes us feel insecure, kind of nervous, anxious and uneasy. To say it is disappointing is a massive understatement, the international events of the last few weeks leave many of us feeling totally disheartened to say the least!
At times you may feel that there is nothing left to believe in…there is.
We see this as a kind of ‘soul burnout’. When you are Highly Sensitive it can feel like the weight of the world, the pain of the world, resides within you. Sometimes you just don’t know what to do with it and end up feeling powerless and, yes, definitely hopeless. So what can you do?
Well, crowns off to those courageous and bold souls who head off into dangerous places to offer aid and care to both humans and animals in need. My heart swells with joy and gratitude with the knowledge that such brave individuals exist! Then there are the rest of us…
We may not be ready to take a heroic stance, but we can live with Everyday Spirituality. Everyday Spirituality doesn’t have to be big, it doesn’t necessarily encompass grand gestures, it doesn’t even have to be called anything specific with a Capital Letter. We believe that everyone can embace life and live each and every day with meaning and purpose. Oh don’t get all worried about ‘finding your purpose’ (that’s way too heady for us!) all you have to remember is to…
Live your life in the pursuit of compassion, kindness, beauty, understanding and love in your own unique way
Shine your HSP light into the world. Do not live in fear. Always strive for your Highest Dream regardless of how futile it can sometimes feel in this shocking world.
Imagine. Create. Believe.
