Are you an introvert… or a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)?

A lot of people assume they’re the same thing—but they’re not. And confusing the two can lead to a lot of frustration, bad advice, and trying to “fix” the wrong problem.

In this video, I break down the key differences between introverts and HSPs, where they overlap, and—most importantly—how to approach life differently depending on which one you are.

Because here’s the truth:
Introverts are drained by people.
HSPs are drained by stimulation.

And once you understand that difference, everything starts to make a lot more sense.

We’ll also walk through practical, real-life strategies that actually work—whether you’re an introvert, an HSP, or both.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, drained, or like life takes more out of you than it seems to for others… this will help you understand why—and what to do about it.
