Deep Feels Into Bold Moves with Becky Symes

What if your emotions weren’t a hindrance but a compass? In this episode, we flip the script on sensitivity—from something we manage to something that guides and empowers us.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying too much, or feeling too deeply, this conversation offers both understanding and a new way forward.
In this episode of The Sensitive Professionals Podcast, I’m joined by Becky Symes, brand and website designer, and vision strategist. Becky helps purpose-driven women bring their boldest ideas to life through magnetic personal branding. Her work blends intuitive insight with strategic design—and her sensitivity is at the heart of it all.
We’re talking about:
· The many “faces” of sensitivity, and how society shapes our emotional responses
· Why disconnection from our feelings can feel safer (but isn’t sustainable)
· How to identify when a feeling is yours—or someone else’s
· Becky's “Life → Feelings → Reaction” model for using emotions as creative fuel
· The powerful shift that happens when we stop managing sensitivity and start working with it
If you’ve ever felt emotionally “stuck” or unsure how to move forward without abandoning yourself, this conversation is for you.

About your host
Hi, I’m Teresa—career coach, ex-corporate insider, and proud sensitive professional.
After 20+ years in high-pressure roles—often as the only woman in the room, quietly absorbing everything while others talked over each other—I know what it’s like to feel out of place in environments that prize boldness over nuance and speed over substance.
But here’s what I discovered: sensitivity wasn’t a weakness—it was my greatest advantage.
Now, I help ambitious, sensitive professionals like you turn struggles into strengths and build careers that feel as good as they look—without burnout, bravado, or trying to be someone you’re not.
