If you've ever felt like slowing down is dangerous — like the second you stop hustling, everything you've built might slip away — this story is for you. Nikolai Blinow, LMHC, a therapist and coach for high-achieving women, traces her own path from a childhood shaped by instability and financial trauma, through years of perfectionism, overachievement, and a body that stayed in fight-or-flight long after the actual danger had passed — to the moment she finally let herself believe she was safe.

Join Nikolai Blinow, LMHC, for a podcast interview with Sensitive Stories, hosted by April Snow. In this episode, April talks with Nikolai Blinow about the subtle signs of ADHD in highly sensitive people and:

• Why HSPs and women are often misdiagnosed

• The three types of ADHD and how they present

• How to embrace neurodiversity as a strength and lean into radical acceptance

Nikolai is a highly-sensitive person with ADHD who helps fellow HSP and ADHD women in leadership roles who are done with operating in survival mode. Her work blends strategic therapy & nervous system re-calibration to help women slow down, stay powerful, and keep their edge.

Business growth and burnout do not have to go hand in hand. Licensed mental health counselor and life coach Nikolai Blinow joins Bri Conn, CFP® to talk about building a successful business from a calmer, more intentional place, and why 40% of your day is supposed to be rest.
