    Are you a Highly Sensitive Person under stress? Find out—take the free test at https://trueinnerfreedom.com/joy-pressure/

    Is Your Passion Fueling You — or Silently Draining You?

    What if the joy you once felt for your creative work has been quietly replaced by pressure and perfectionism? In this episode of Stress Management for Highly Sensitive People, we explore how passion can subtly morph into performance anxiety—and how to reconnect with the reason you started in the first place.

    If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP), you know what it's like to care deeply about your work. But when your worth gets tangled up in the outcome, your creativity starts to feel like a burden rather than a gift. This episode is a gentle yet powerful reminder that your value is not defined by how perfect your work appears—but by the joy it brings you.

    Listen in to discover:

    • The invisible moment when healthy passion turns into toxic perfectionism—and how to spot it.

    • Why tying your worth to results silently kills your motivation.

    • A simple mindset shift that can bring back the lightness, freedom, and fun in your creative life.

    Hit play now and rediscover how to create from joy—not pressure.
