You’re feeling the call to shine, but when simply existing is like swimming through wet cement, this feels like an unrealistic dream.
Being highly sensitive can feel like a weight dragging you into despair. The constant feeling of overwhelm. The anxiety that follows you like a dark cloud. It leaves you begging for answers, asking ‘what is wrong with me?’
You shudder at the thought of how much you’ve spent on your own healing and personal growth. But you’re still determined to fix whatever is broken so you can find your soul family and support this planet’s evolution.
The truth is, your soul’s mission here is more than healing your own trauma and ancestral lineage…
Your soul's mission is to live with joy

While doing all the healing work is part of your mission - it’s not the whole point of being here…
Joy is the point of being here… whatever “joy” looks like to you.

Thing is, many highly sensitive humans are used to living without much joy.

Meet Belinda
Hey lovely human! I’m Belinda Noakes. I love helping other people to make friends with joy.
While doing it, I’ve discovered that:
Joy heals.
Being in a community as you focus on joy together is even more powerful.
A lot of highly sensitive humans are used to living without a lot of joy.
That’s why I created TinyBrave and The Lighthouse community.
Now I support other highly sensitive humans to recognise neurodivergence as a source of superpowers, get your energy back and design a more joyful life.

My Story
Like you, the story of my life so far includes fear and courage, love and loss, rage and delight. It traverses deep grief and profound joy.
While my mother was pregnant with me, my parents were in a serious car accident. My brain and nervous system got wired in some interesting ways, but I didn’t even begin to understand that until I was 40 years old.
I spent my early childhood on a 40,000 acre sheep and cattle station in North West Queensland, Australia. Many of my early memories involve horses, snakes and long hours spent on dusty outback roads in the back seat of our station wagon, listening to country music cassettes.
When I was 16 my younger sister died of leukemia. We all did our best, but no-one in our family knew how to deal with loss like that. So for the next 20 years, I just kept the grief locked away inside.
The year I turned 30, I started working for Microsoft. After 10 years working for the company in Australia, Singapore and the UK, my adrenals collapsed. And I decided to do whatever it took to get to the bottom of why I had pushed myself so hard, for so long.
My search for answers took me from ice bathing in the Ganges outside Rishikesh, to shitting my pants in the mountains of Montana with only my soul for company, to meditating with a wizard monk in Myanmar while he insisted I was the reincarnation of a long-dead Burmese queen. Along the way I burned through several passports, tangled with a few narcissists, and tried so many different healing modalities I can’t remember them all.
Through all of that, I kept accumulating practitioner certifications and working with clients. (It turns out that hypervigilance can help make you very good at noticing and sensing what other people need.)
It's taken me decades to understand and embrace extreme sensitivity - and I’m still learning all the time.
For so long, I couldn't figure out why my body and my life still felt crappy even after doing SO MUCH INNER WORK! And I was convinced there must be something seriously wrong with me. But exploring the power of noticing what's happening in my body opened up real change.
Learning about the markers of high masking autism helped a lot too. Before that, I didn’t realise how much discomfort I’d been suppressing and how hard I’d been working at pretending to be “normal”.
The final piece - which brings us to the present day - was my decision to stop seeing myself as broken and start focusing on joy instead.
And possibly the best thing - Joy is actually my middle name, which means that my life’s purpose was written on the label this whole time!
Sometimes the answers you seek are hiding in plain sight.

When I’m not in my home office doing sessions or group calls, you may find me…
Being Auntie Bel and watching my niece and nephew playing sports or music.
Watching fantasy, sci-fi or spy-thriller shows (like Stranger Things and Reacher - or possibly Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the 6th time).
Walking on an almost-deserted beach.
Studying energetic practices and role playing with my favourite alter egos.
Reading fantasy fiction and cosmic non-fiction (like Robin Hobb’s Elderlings series and Laura Knight-Jadczyk’s Wave series).
Singing the tenor parts with my delightful community choir.
Learning to rollerblade again after 15 years off the wheels.
