The Sensitive Empowerment Community

A nurturing, positive, and empowering alternative to social media for sensitive people.

Join Our Loving, Supportive Community

To give you an idea of what it feels like to be in this unique community, I asked members to share one word about how they feel being a part of it. These were their responses: Supported, Grateful, Wonderful, Happy, Authentic, Validating, Nurturing, Caring, Acceptance, Relief, Seen, Belonging, Safe, Encouraging, Comfort. 

Experience the warmth and kindness of a community where you are accepted and embraced as yourself. You’ll find a higher-vibration space filled with love and support, fostering deep, meaningful connections here.

Feel the collective energy uplift you, providing comfort and encouragement in times of need. Our community is a network of hearts, empowering you to be yourself and grow together.

Let the energy of being surrounded by kindness guide you, drawing strength from our supportive environment to face any challenge with courage. You are never alone.

Cherish the shared experiences that weave a tapestry of unity, compassion, and personal growth. Celebrate the good things in life together, creating joyful memories and connections.

Find solace in this healthy, positive space, a sanctuary away from life's stressors. As you connect with others more deeply, you’ll feel a sense of belonging and purpose.

Join us on this beautiful journey and feel the love radiating from every corner. Your presence matters, and together, we create a harmonious and uplifting space.

Feeling loved and nourished with this wonderful resource of community in my backpack. It’s always a safe and comfortable space to be myself, and encourage others. The empowerment I’m learning here and the ongoing practicing continues to strengthen me on my journey. ❤️ Much gratitude!

This community always feels so safe, nurturing and supportive and I'm so grateful for that.

 This is a wonderful community of caring, loving people.  

 I am so grateful to be in the community and have fantastic support. I didn't realize how many of us have been in the same situation. It's been uplifting to have these conversations, and I am gaining so much strength and confidence from sharing.


The Sensitive Empowerment Community has been rated as an “exceptional community” with a whopping 93.5% retention rate (the standard retention rate for communities is only 30%). These remarkable statistics bear witness to the dedication, compassion, and encouragement that our team of sensitive beings pours into this community full of kind-hearted sensitive people! By offering a positive, deliberate, and empowering alternative to traditional social media for sensitive individuals, this community is transforming lives globally.

What members are saying about the community... 

Soulful support, empowerment, and inspiration for HSPs all over the world. The community is such a special part of my life and your words and messages are so beautifully nurturing and necessary. We are blessed to have you, Julie Bjelland. What an incredible difference you make to the world.

I wanted you to know that you and your vision and all those who participate in this incredible community have inspired me, strengthened me, supported me and encouraged me in ways big and small. 

 I feel I've grown a lot since joining this community. I so appreciate all the work and love you've invested to build this community.

It is so validating coming into this community and hearing from others because until I learned I am an HSP, I had NO idea why I felt the ways that I did...for the first time, I feel so heard, understood, validated and like I belong. It's so freeing to release this burden of "something is wrong with me." IT'S NOT!!!! I'm just HSP and now I can start to see that as a gift instead of a burden!

This community has been so transformative for me. I love how intentional we all are and the slow pace of things here. It’s really soothing 💜 It has been life changing to be in community with other sensitive people.

This community you created has made me feel so welcomed, understood and provides a beautiful garden that I feel comfortable to share my vulnerabilities openly and have a positive space that feeds me with beauty in so many ways! I feel like I have a team on this journey now and we are all working together on this great project! The exchanges are priceless...😍


  • May you feel safe here to be yourself with a sense of true belonging. ❤️
  • May you know we value you exactly as you are and believe you are important to the world. ❤️
  • May you feel the celebration of authenticity that we love in this global, open, and accepting community. ❤️
  • Sending out love to all of you beautiful, sensitive souls. ❤️

FAQ

Why do you charge for this community?

  • We offer professional moderation to make sure this community is safe and inclusive, and we want to be able to pay our team that gives so much of their heart.  The benefit of a paid, private community is that you don't have advertisements either!

We recommend trying it to see how good it feels! It's a VERY different experience than social media.  ❤️
