In this episode of The Happy HSP Podcast, Kimberly sits down with Elisha May to explore the deeply personal and intuitive journey of spiritual awakening as a highly sensitive person. Together, they talk about what it really feels like to lean into inner knowing, embrace intuition, and navigate the spiritual shifts that often come with being an HSP. This conversation is grounding, expansive, and full of gentle guidance for sensitive souls who are ready to step into a deeper sense of themselves.

In this episode, Elisha shares:

• Her personal journey of awakening and how it reshaped her understanding of sensitivity.
• What her intuition feels like and how she trusts it.
• The spiritual practices that help her feel connected, centered, and guided.
• What it looks like to integrate growth without overwhelming the nervous system.
• The ways sensitivity acts as a bridge to deeper spiritual awareness.

Topics covered:

• The connection between sensitivity and spiritual awakening.
• How to recognize your unique intuitive language.
• How to navigate emotional intensity during periods of spiritual expansion.
• Grounding techniques and rituals for HSPs engaged in deep inner growth.
• Practical ways to honor your sensitivity while evolving spiritually.
• Why awakening often feels both difficult and transformative for HSPs.

About Elisha May:

Elisha May is an Intuitive Energy Coach, Empath, and Founder of Freedom of Self® - a soul-led movement helping people let go of who they think they should be and live as who they really are.

After years of navigating trauma, loss, burnout, and breakdowns of identity, Elisha reclaimed her truth - not by fixing herself, but by remembering who she was underneath it all.

Now, through her signature program Freedom of Self® (coming soon!), she guides empaths, sensitives, and soul-led rebels out of emotional chaos, self-abandonment, and suppression - and into clarity, confidence, and a life that actually feels like theirs.

Her work isn’t about mindset hacks or behaviour change - it’s deep, embodied liberation.
