What if you could experience your life exactly the way you want,
without being weighed down by guilt and fear about pleasing others & worry about
what they think of you?
Right now, self-doubt and your people-pleasing habit may be getting in the way of your feelings of worthiness.
You aren't comfortable telling people what you want and don't want.
As a highly sensitive person, the intensity of your experiences can create fatigue.
Being hyper-aware of other people's emotions is a superpower
but you need boundaries to protect yourself.
Long ago, you learned to become invisible and not to question authority
so you could avoid rejection and disappointment.
But these defenses have left you feeling empty and trapped and unable to express yourself.
You may not even know what you want after feeling oppressed for so long.

I’m Karen Elena James. I help highly sensitive people move from oppressive self-doubt to lasting inner peace and living life on their own terms.
Over the course of my career, I’ve worked in law firms, public and private social service agencies, and a major corporation. The common thread through my work has been a desire to serve vulnerable people by providing support structure, coping tools and a roadmap for navigating difficult situations.
The most rewarding part of my work is helping people overcome beliefs that keep them stuck, fearful and unfulfilled. My approach to living life by your internal guidance and highest values is largely inspired by my own healing journey, which you’ll find reflected in my articles.
As a mentor to people seeking to overcome emotional wounds from their past, I guide my clients through life-changing shifts to inner peace and wholeness.
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
