Vision is not born from comfort. It’s revealed through the fire of honest emotion. If you’re grieving what’s no longer aligned—or never was—it means you’re waking up to what’s possible next.
What’s Happening with Heather:
We are all grappling with so many changes these days. It’s a constant focus for myself and the Business Miracles coach team in support of our HSP business and leader members. As HSPs, we feel things so deeply. So where a non-HSP can likely navigate change with a sense of buoyancy, often for us HSPs, even the slightest change can register as deep loss and grief.
It’s never about beating yourself up about this or telling yourself to “just get it together.” And it’s definitely not about hiding from it in a never-ending Netflix binge (even a good one) to avoid the feelings. It’s about learning how to navigate the change. And this is a retraining process.
Personally, I’m no stranger to loss. Starting with the death of my mother at age 14, then 9 close deaths in my first 12 years of being self-employed (that’s almost yearly! sigh), and then the 2020 pandemic that brought loss of home and city. Every phase of this never-ending cycle of grief has taught me so much about “discomfort resilience” as coined by Pema Chodron, and how on the other side of loss and grief what typically arrives is a tremendous opportunity to birth something that you either never thought you’d be able to do or even imagined in the first place.
That’s definitely been my experience time and again. It’s the true use of our highly-wired nervous system for good and as usual, whatever I learn I pay it forward for the HSP members of the Business Miracles community. You aren’t meant to suffer and struggle through life. There is another way.
This Week’s HSP Business Tip: Your next-level vision may arrive as grief.
Grief is not the absence of vision—it’s often the beginning.
When something falls away, it creates space. Space for new insights. Space for clarity. Space for leadership that actually feels like you.
Here’s how to navigate it:
- Let yourself say, “I didn’t ask for this.” Then go deeper.
- Use the RAINSit Process to move from reaction to reflection.
- Recognize that grief is not a detour. It’s a doorway.
- Find clarity in what you miss—this often reveals what matters most.
- Choose creation over control, one breath at a time.
You can begin this shift using the Survive To Thrive Training Kit, which includes grounding tools to help Highly Sensitive Entrepreneurs return to center and realign their vision from a space of nervous system safety.
The key is: your grief doesn’t make you broken. It makes you ready.

Anil Manley
Highly Sensitive Leader and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and Mindfulness Coach
“Throughout my first few months in the program, I created my intuitive eating program, marketed it, and onboarded my first paying client. Instead of jumping too far ahead and getting stuck like I would have in the past, I ASKED questions to receive coach mentoring and support, and took heart-guided actions by using Energy Management Tools like Heather’s Order Form to the Universe. I’m achieving the goal I set for myself to be an entrepreneur by the time I turn 50!”
Anil’s story is a powerful example of what it looks like to Establish Your Next-Level Vision – not by pushing, but by partnering with aligned support and guidance.
By using tools like the Order Form to the Universe and staying connected to coaching instead of getting stuck in fear or overthinking, Anil created, launched, and enrolled in a way that felt heart-guided and sustainable.
✨ This is the difference between coping through control and creating through clarity.
When Highly Sensitive Entrepreneurs stop jumping ahead and start listening inward, their vision doesn’t just stay an idea – it becomes a reality.
