About this episode

Jenna-Mae Curtin discusses emotional sensitivity, her experiences with an invisible disability, and the importance of connection and listening.

Jenna-Mae Curtin is someone who lives with depth, warmth, and radical empathy, a true verbal processor and deep thinker. A Dancer, Visual Artist, Poet and Missionary. This week, as Jenna and I Sit with U , she walks us through the quiet power of emotional sensitivity, her early life with an invisible disability, and what it means to be the hope that keeps on hoping. This conversation opens up tender territory: how it feels to be profoundly affected by the emotions of others, and how she has transformed that sensitivity into strength. Tune in as we explore the nuances of connection, identity, and what it truly means to listen.
