“Beyond the Veil” Episode 5: “Don’t Be Afraid to Seek Help”

When our Muggle lives get overwhelming, it’s nice to turn to Harry Potter for something that feels safe and familiar. In our interview with Sacha Huynen, we discuss her experience of the world with high sensitivity, how she uses the Potter series for comfort, and the wonderful community she found in her quidditch team. You can listen to this episode down below or on our podcast page.

→What is high sensitivity, and how can it impact your life?
