Sense And Sensitivity * Flourishing for Curious Creatives

A Flourishing Framework for Curious Creatives

Hi – Hallo – Salut – Holà – Ciao

Are you a lover of language and complexity? Do expressions like “Frugal Prosperity” make you smile, not frown? Because you know what an oxymoron is (or if you are not 100% sure, you’ll quickly check in the dictionary or rhetorical book on your shelf).

Have you pursued and deepened several more or less eclectic topics of interest since you were small?

You probably have one (or several) university degrees. Still, you have also taught yourself lots as an autodidact because then you can go at your own accelerated and non-linear pace. You have knowledge and skills in quite a few areas, but for some, you may have a hard time proving it because there is no diploma.

You are probably in the second half of your life.

And even if there is still so much to learn and explore, you also know you have so much to give.

You may ask yourself…

How can I make time for all the things I fancy pursuing and experimenting with?

How can I free up space to spend quality time with loved ones?

How can I find enough time to express myself creatively as well as for self-care and a healthy lifestyle?

Most importantly, how can I contribute to making this world a better place while experiencing joy, love and meaning?

Hi, my name is Patricia.

I’m a Swiss writer, coach and mentor for
analytical, bright and creative people like you.

On this website I write about what I wish I had known or someone had taught me some 20 or 30 years ago: : what it really means to be “highly sensitive” and “gifted” as adults and how to use your unique strengths to flourish.

Did you know…

that attributes like

  • a heightened perception,
  • the love for the exact use of words (and the urge to correct those who don’t share this passion and can’t see the joy in studying dictionaries),
  • an insatiable thirst for learning and improving,
  • a strong sense of justice,
  • (at times) roller-coaster rides of emotions and
  • extreme (sometimes exhausting) empathy, as well as
  • a need for precision

do make sense! Because all the aspects above are correlated to something else…

It’s not easy to talk about “being gifted” and what it entails.

If you do, other people may think you are arrogant, a know-it-all, and believe you are “something better.” Well, they are wrong.

The reason why I chose to talk about it anyway is simple:

Over the last decade, I have met too many women who are highly sensitive and/or (non-detected) “gifted” (adults) who have learned to doubt themselves and their judgment at an early age.

Lack of understanding about their proper uncommon functioning – shared by their caregivers – gender stereotype expectations and values, and a lack of peers who could mirror them positively are some of the factors that may have contributed.

Are you ready to flourish?
