Resources for Sensitive Entreprenurs

Helping you embrace your sensitivity and create a gentle business that brings meaning to your life

A collection of free and paid resources to support you

I have found that as I learn more about being a highly sensitive woman, it now easier to make decisions with my business. I’ve noticed this with other sensitive entrepreneurs (and solopreneurs) as well.

When sensitive women deepen their self-understanding, they become more confident in how they want to grow their business. They begin to accept why certain strategies don’t work for them (and why they never did) and find what does align with their energy.

Being a sensitive person comes with beautiful gifts as well as its challenges. I hope that these resources help you reconnect with yourself and embrace the goodness within you. Trust yourself, you know yourself. ~Angela

    Quiet Marketing: A Calm, Minimal Approach to Business and Online Visibility for Highly Sensitive Solopreneurs

    When I read this book, it made me accept more of myself as a highly sensitive woman and learn about the concept of discoverability. I enjoyed this book so much I read it twice within a week.

    Self-Care for the Self-Aware: A Guide for Highly Sensitive People, Empaths, Intuitives and Healers

    by Dave Markowitz

    My naturopath loaned me this book and I’m glad she did. This was an insightful read and helped me to understand how to gently let go of energy that I absorb from another person, and to tap into my compassionate mindset.

“If you are a sensitive person, your body and mind respond more to the world around you. You respond to more heartbreak, pain, loss, but you also respond more to beauty, new ideas and joy. You go deep where others only skim the surface. You keep thinking when others have given up and moved on to something else.”

My writings for sensitive entrepreneurs

Increase Your Income Without Starting From Scratch

Offerings and services play a significant role in having a profitable and sustainable business. For many sensitive entrepreneurs (and solopreneurs), it can take a lot of energy to develop this part of business. In this writing, I share an easier approach with repurposing what you already have to expand your offerings, which can help you increase your income.

Trusting the Quiet Results of Your Work

The work you do is so much greater than the measureable aspects of business - the metrics, analytics and tangible outcomes. I share a different way you can reflect on the value of your work. This is a invitation to remember the quiet impact of what you do.

The Beautiful Healing Nature of Sensitive Women

Sensitive women have a powerful way of nurturing the earth and humanity with their natural gifts. This writing celebrates the compassionate work of sensitive souls, contributing their healing and creativity to the world.

Discoverability vs. Social Media

Discoverability is a an alternative approach to social media; where you focus more on long-term searchable content. Such as blogging, Pinterest and even YouTube. The intention is to create content for people that are specifically looking for what you’re sharing. This is an area of focus for me this year. I’m finding it a lot gentler on my nervous system and refreshing.

Choosing Not to Sell Your Feminine Soul on Social Media

Belinda Marie is a lovely human, her business is Soul and Self. I believe this was one of the first blog posts I saw of hers on Pinterest. I absolutely love Belinda’s work and even took her Feminine Business Bundle to get me started on creating searchable content. Belinda’s feminine essence work is also beautifully supportive for highly sensitive women.

Discoverability: A Calm Alternative to the Demands of Social Media Marketing

Danielle Gardner’s book opened my eyes to a whole new world of marketing: disoverability. I love Danielle’s perspective on honoring our human design and natural energy. Danielle’s Foundations course was comforting and helpful. Danielle also has a YouTube Channel . I appreciate Danielle’s gentle way of talking about business feeling good in the body.

Social Media is all fun and games until somebody… realizes they’re sharecropping

Regina Anaejionu shares incredible insight and nuance into the issues with marketing on social media. Regina provides a lot of context around the realities of social media and the lifespan of posts on different platforms. Seeing the numbers within an intersectional perspective made me reflect deeply. Grateful for Regina’s time and energy to provide this valuable information.

Gentle Client Boundaries:
Customizable Email Template Collection

One big learning in my solopreneur years: how important it is to proactively communicate boundaries, details and information with clients. Being clear about boundaries and expectations up front can prevent a lot of issues later.

From my systems strategist work, I discovered the beauty of email templates that span the client experience from inquiry to offboarding. As a sensitive woman, I’ve struggled at times to state my boundaries in written form. With email templates I can have them already thoughtfully and gently pre-written.

The other wonderful part is that email templates can be reused, repurposed and even automated (if you have software that does that). All of which can help protect your energy and help nurture your client relationships.

Note: this collection is in collaboration with a fellow solopreneur, Ashlee Sang.

Trust yourself, you know yourself.
