Stepping into Purpose

About Stepping into Purpose

Stepping into Purpose is a weekly show with Highly Sensitive Person and Empowerment Coach Lydia Gillman. As an HSP with 2 highly sensitive children, Lydia knows the challenges of growing up in a society that isn't designed for those with heightened sensitivity, and is passionate about sharing her journey navigating the challenges that inevitably show up, and helping others realize and harness the superpowers that come with being an HSP, and following the call to find their highest purpose and live the life their soul intended. Searching for her own higher calling, Lydia finally found it in midlife, and with a little wink from the Universe, that passion is to help other HSPs find their highest purpose and live the life their souls intended. The Stepping into Purpose podcast shares education about HSPs, stories from Lydia's own journey, and interviews from inspiring people, living their best life, from around the globe. A new episode will drop every Friday, so make sure to subscribe, rate and review, and follow Lydia on Instagram for daily inspiration @lydiagillman.lovetoatee
