EPISODE 226
When people place you on a pedestal... (the cost of being a high achiever)
If you’re a high achiever, you may be dealing with what I call pedestal relationships — where people place you on a pedestal, expect you to always have it together, and then don’t show up for you the same way they show up for others. In this episode, I share how I realized this was happening in my life, the signs I ignored at first, and the changes I’m making so my relationships aren’t built on me being the “strong one” all the time.
What listeners are saying...

“Love this podcast. I have read a lot of books & I have listened to a lot of speeches & quite frankly, I haven’t found many podcasts that truly feed my soul and give me a new perspective. This secluded thoughts podcast is my all-time favorite; I receive so many 'aha moments' from tuning in.”
“A must-listen podcast. Sensi really comes with the difficult, no-one-wants-to-say-it-but-someone-has-to-say-it topics. If you want to level up, this is the podcast for you. Sensi gives a raw view of her own life as she gives insight and lifts up the listeners and people around her to get the most out of their lives. It’s a refreshing new take on podcasts. Give it a listen! There are bound to be things you relate to!!!!”
“I genuinely feel like I’m listening to my big sister talk and give me advice. I listen during my cardio every day. I love every single podcast episode and I’m inspired to make a change in my life every single day. Thank you so much! Keep going!!”
"Hey sweetie, I don't know how old you are. I'm pretty sure you're around my daughter's age. I'm 43 years old and I just wanted to tell you I've been binge watching your podcasts on YouTube since I found you Friday and you're helping me so much, I'm in tears writing this. I'm autistic and I was a teen mom and a welfare rat and been through so much addiction, trauma and abuse and just felt like I would be made fun of if I try to share the things I've learned and your advice is seriously kicking my ass and making me re-evaluate myself. I just wanted to thank you for stepping out in faith and putting yourself out there. You're helping me so much!"
"Sensi. Sensi. Sensi. You don’t even understand that planted not buried just saved me. I am in the midst of a depression relapse and I was ready to throw in the towel. I am planted much more buried. I have overcome so much more and you reminded me of that. You truly have a gift. Thank you for sharing your struggles. You have no idea how much this episode meant/did for me. I’m literally crying bc it was exactly what I needed. Keep going girl, there are no limits to who you can touch and the lives you can change with your episodes❤️"
"I found your podcast about a year ago and my God has it helped me and change my life tremendously. God has so much favor over your life and I believe that he speaks directly through you, which I am sooo grateful for. I feel like when you speak about your life experiences, I am hearing someone speak about MY direct experiences. It’s crazy."
