Highly Sensitive Money with Diana Gisel Yañez
Highly Sensitive Money gives Highly Sensitive People (HSP) who are passionate about social justice resources to align their money with their values. Join me, Diana Gisel Yañez, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, as I coach HSPs, interview experts, and share my own journey discovering the gifts of my sensitivity and how it relates to money. Each season is released as it’s ready in weekly batches.
Who is Highly Sensitive Money For?
While this podcast can serve everyone, it's especially useful for:
- HSPs who want to add more depth and nuance to their money relationship.
- People who value social justice and understand that all of our well-being is interconnected.
- Money experts who want to bring more social justice to their work.
In the early 90s Dr. Elaine N Aron Ph.D. published research coining the term Highly Sensitive Person to describe the 15-20% of humans born with a trait that programs their nervous systems for heightened sensitivities to internal and external stimuli causing them to be deeply affected by sensations and feelings.
HSPs have stronger reactivity to pain, hunger, smell, light violence, and tension, but they also tend to be more creative and aware of subtleties in their environment. You may also see the trait called Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS). To learn more about Dr. Elaine N. Aron's work check out HSPerson.com
Why focus on social justice?
I define social justice simply: all of our well-being is interconnected.
A core value of my work as a financial planner and money coach is interdependence, and this podcast brings this focus to money. When my community is doing well I am supported to thrive, and in turn I can help my community.
As aboriginal activist and visual artist Lilla Watson says, “If you have come here to help me you are wasting your time, but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”
