Shaping Work That Truly Fits with Ella Schwarz
Or listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Wherever You Pod
What if that sinking feeling at work isn’t self-doubt, but your body telling you this isn’t it? In a world that rewards pushing through, sensitive professionals often get told to toughen up. But maybe your sensitivity is the wisest part of you.
In this episode of The Sensitive Professionals Podcast, I’m joined by Ella Schwarz, a transformative coach, EFT tapping practitioner and founder of Coffee with Ella. A former charity CEO turned self-described life designer, Ella helps women who’ve run out of steam ditch the grind and create careers that actually fit.
We’re talking about:
· Using sensitivity as your inner compass in career decision-making
· How to tell the difference between fear and true misalignment
· What it looks like to design your work around your energy – not override it
· The power of buying yourself time and space before saying yes
· Why redefining success is personal, political, and deeply freeing
If you’ve ever felt like you were forcing yourself to fit into a job that doesn’t fit you, 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.
