Description

Have you been told you ‘see too much’, ‘hear too much’, ‘think too much’, ‘feel too much’? The Intense Mind is a podcast dedicated to people who are exceptionally intense, gifted and intuitive. In this podcast, we talk to intense humans and experts from around the world. We will learn how to bounce back from trauma and shame; how to cultivate resilience and authenticity; how to be the most creative and productive we can be, and how to find our tribe. Together, we go from healing to thriving.
