Ep. #308: How to Trust Your Creative Instincts as a Highly Sensitive Person
Episode 308
Monday, 29 June, 2026
How do you learn to trust your creative instincts when you’ve spent years second-guessing the way you’re wired? (After all, there’s no shortage of experts eager to tell you — or sell you — The One "Right" Way to be creative!) But as Highly Sensitive Persons, we notice details, connections, emotions, and possibilities that others may miss. As we learn to trust our perceptions, they can powerfully guide our creative work. Today, fiction author Laura Joy Lloyd joins me as guest co-host. Laura Joy shares how her sensitivity shapes the stories she reads, the characters she writes, and the unconventional writing process she created to honor her gifts, personality, and capacity. Together, we explore how to distinguish wise outside counsel from fear-based pressure, why the “right” creative process may look different for each of us, and what becomes possible when we stop fighting the way we’re wired. What if the creative process that fits you best begins with trusting who God created you to be as an HSP?
