Transform your Big Feelings into Strength for a Kinder World

Hi, I'm Phoenix Huber

I'm an animal activist writer and I work 1-on-1 with Highly Sensitive Heroes! Proudly trans and autistic, I'm here to help those who have been marginalized or misunderstood feel MAGICAL 🔥.

Break Free—For Yourself and All Beings

 

If you're highly sensitive and empathetic like me, I bet you feel deeply connected to others' struggles while managing your own. You may have battled anxiety and shame that cause you to procrastinate—all while yearning to make a difference.

 

 

My Journey Growing Up as a Highly Sensitive Person: I Loved Animals & Felt Different

 

Before I knew I was a Highly Sensitive Person, I knew that I was different in terms of my gender and my empathy for animals. I was teased at school for being "so gay" the same year we dissected animals in science class. It dawned on me: Animals are bullied too.

 

Animals know joy, pain, and unique emotions. What they feel would amaze us humans if we could spend just one day being them.

 

In my first attempt at animal allyship, a classmate and I took a body part from our dissected squid and gave them a funeral. I stopped eating animals' bodies and I started writing stories about a world where everyone could thrive free from harm.

 

I sought the courage to help heal our relationships with each other. Animals are our neighbors. Humane alternatives are growing. With compassion, we can figure out how to stop treating animals like trash and treat ourselves better too.

 

 

But back then, I didn't know how to channel my exquisite sensitivity. As a shy, neurodivergent trans girl, I was overwhelmed by all the noise and disconnection. No matter how much I retreated into writing, I could never escape the feeling that I wasn't designed to thrive in this world.

 

Are you, like me, highly sensitive?

 

Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) are said to make up about 15-20% of humans. We seem more likely than the average person to be introverts, intuitive, creative or artsy, women or LGBTQ+, caregivers, or (my favorite) to want to go vegan.

HSPs greatly overlap with autists and ADHDers. While our sensitivity can predispose us to physical and mental health challenges, it may also empower us to see things others overlook, care for those who are suffering, and ultimately seek to heal our world.

 

Society may tell us to toughen up, but I dare you to be sensitive.

 

Bad Habits Can't Stop You. Live Your Dream of a Kinder World.

 

Hurt by injustice, I longed for innocence and fun. I found it in an online game, Neopets, where I could be anyone I wanted. But while I saved virtual creatures from lava, I struggled to take a single step toward my real goals.

 

Have you ever binged shows or craved endless distractions, feeling pulled away from your purpose?

 

You may have even felt like you're wasting your life while a secret passion gnaws at you.

 

Sensitivity can make us easily addicted, especially when we're coping with hardship. But self-soothing isn’t wrong. TV and gaming aren't wrong. We just need support to find ease in what truly matters, to get addicted to our souls. I’m here to cheer on HSPs so our paths to purpose can feel easier!

 

If you too are on a journey of transforming yourself into a force of healing light, let me know if I can help with anything. On top of replacing my Neopets addiction with helping real animals and living playfully in the 3D world, here are some other high points from my life that might connect us:

 

• I went vegan and whole-food plant-based, fueling my vision of a kind, healthy humanity.
   

• I changed my name and came out as a trans woman.
   

• The Lefkoe Method lowered my anxiety so I could dance, speak, and take part in theatre. I then trained to become a coach to help others.
   

• I gathered signatures for a cage-free law called Prop 12 and led communications for initiatives to end slaughterhouses and fur.
   

• I went from terrified of sharing my writing, to blogging prolifically on Medium.
   

• I embraced neurodiversity and disability pride, which encourage us to win at our own games and love being different.
   

• I have loved learning about the experiences of various animals and marginalized human groups, whose joys are now a part of me.
   

• I replaced Netflix with self-taught schooling, reviving some of my brain cells.
   

• Long COVID drove me to master mind-body practices like DNRS and Joe Dispenza’s work, meditating daily to improve my health and reach more goals.
