05/09/22 • 31 min

In this episode I chat with Matt Johnson - CEO and Founder of Pursuing Results and author of Microfamous. We chat about Matt’s strength in strategy that allowed him to grow his agency, hiring the right people and having the right systems in place to help coaches and consultants.

We talk about:

Pricing based on emotional change and life direction
The myth of large social media followings bringing greater ROI
The fear of niching down (and why you don’t need to be scared!)
How to advertise your podcast
Social media engagement and algorithms from the introvert’s perspective
Whatever happened to Clubhouse?!

5 Things No One Tells You About Personal Development

The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast

12/04/23 • 21 min

With the new year approaching there’s so much talk of goals, resolutions and words of the year. If reaching your potential and creating life on your terms is important to you, you’re probably somewhere on your personal development journey already. And while growth, learning and new possibilities are all oh-so-exciting, there are some aspects of ‘doing the work’ that are a little less appealing...

In this episode I’m breaking down some of the truths that aren’t always talked about front and centre in the self improvement space. Does this mean I’m suggesting it’s not worth it? Not at all! But forewarned is forearmed, and knowing what bumps may lie ahead might just make it that bit easier for you to move through them.

I’ll be sharing:

When you ‘need’ to work on your development
Why simple and easy aren’t the same thing
Why it’s ok if you don’t know ‘exactly’ what to do
If you can tell you’re on track
My thoughts about long term commitment to the process

The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast

11/07/22 • 37 min

In today’s episode I’m joined by Amanda Joyce Weber, a mindset and sales coach who helps entrepreneurs shift their mindset to create more sales with ease. I started out as a money mindset coach and I still LOVE talking about it to this day! Money mindset is something I help all my clients with, and it’s such an important piece of work to do. When I knew I wanted to have an episode on the mindset blocks that can come up around money, Amanda was the (very) obvious choice of guest to join me.

In this episode we talk about:

How to hold trust when you don’t have immediate evidence of making money
How Amanda overcame her own money mindset issues
Why you DON’T need to feel the pressure to make things happen
The most common ways people get in their own way
Why you shouldn’t compare your prices to other people’s
A simple mindset practice anyone can use to improve their relationship with money

Goal Setting Tips for Ambitious Introverts

The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast

08/22/22 • 36 min

Something I’ve seen over and over with my clients is a huge resistance to setting goals. There’s often a fear of not hitting them, and therefore ‘failing’ in their eyes. This brings up lots of emotions such as shame, and not being good enough. Which in turn leads to more resistance to set goals!

But goals are a really important part of our growth - they focus our minds and keep us on the right track. I’m sharing some thoughts and observations from my 14 years of coaching that you can use to adapt your own goal setting routine.

I’m diving into:

SMART goals as a basis to start from
Separating the belief that not hitting a goal = failure
Extrinsic goals, and why the vanity metrics of thousands of followers and subscribers don’t keep us motivated
Staying invested in our goals right until the end
Scope creep’ and why constantly moving your goalposts is bad for your mindset
How to avoid living in the gap between where you are and where you want to be (and focus on how far you’ve come instead)
Why noting and celebrating small wins is the fastest way to larger ones

The Energetics of Branding and Design with Haylee LaRose

The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast

07/04/22 • 30 min

Today on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast we’re talking about all things design, aesthetic and HSP! My guest Haylee LaRose is an introvert, empath and highly sensitive brand and website designer, as well as reiki master.
We’re discussing this from both perspectives: as an introvert/empath looking for people or brands to invest in, and as a business owner who is looking to express themselves more authentically through their own branding.
Haylee shares why both energy and strategy are important to effectively connect with others and see results. Many of her clients are introverts and empaths who are particularly sensitive and attuned to other people's energies.

We also get insight into how Haylee as an introvert (and enneagram 9) helps coaches, creatives, and healers achieve clarity in their web design. Plus a bit about cats and my ‘Bake Off’ oven! Tune in for the full story...

We’re covering...

Self-regulation of the nervous system and working with your energy (and why they’re both vital to HSPs)
Reading the energy of a client and bringing it into their brand and design
Stepping away from the echo chamber of Social Media to create original & authentic brands
Connecting the dots between the clients vision and the physical manifestation of the design
Why your brand is so much more than your website and colour palette
How asking those around you ‘how you make them feel’ can help with your design

Embracing the Woo & Creating a Balanced Business with Kendall Cherry

The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast

01/31/22 • 55 min

Kendall Cherry is joining me on today’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert! Kendall is my 1:1 client, a copywriter, agency owner and founder of The Candid Collective. I invited her on today because at the start of our working together she was very resistant to the ‘woo’ - but once she fully embraced the different energetic practices I use, she saw so many transformations in her business, mindset and life. She’s sharing her business journey, how she tackles content creation as a copywriter, and how she’s created a business that perfectly suits her personality.
Kendall and I discuss:

How Kendall grew into done for you agency work and copywriting as a whole, overcoming the stressors and her inner critic
Why Kendall believes in the power of EFT and mindset work, and everything that it’s done for her business
Why private podcasting feels aligned for Kendall, her personality type, and her ideal clients (but isn’t right for everyone)
How Kendall’s view of writing her own content has changed because of her copywriting work and experience

Building Brand Confidence & Awareness with Yolanda Russell

The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast

12/07/20 • 28 min

This week I’m chatting with Yolanda Russell. Yolanda has a unique path but quite frankly, one that should be a bit more normalized because it’s okay to change up your career path multiple times in the name of living your best life. After receiving a degree in Biology, then going back to school to become a nurse, to entering the network marketing industry and taking on the nickname “Kinda Fit Chick”, she eventually landed on her current role as a brand and empowerment coach.

Yolanda and I discuss:

The four C’s of building brand confidence
Stepping into your power and owning your passions as an introvert
Why clarity is one of the most important things to gain as an entrepreneur (and knowing that it can be changed and refined!)
Learning to be unapologetic
The narrative that Yolanda wants to change in the online space and how she’s working to do so
Giving yourself permission to share what others are saying as long as you put your own unique spin on it (PSA: you don’t have to reinvent the wheel!)
Consistency and showing up
Surrendering and embracing ‘different’

Yolanda is also a fellow podcast host and is always serving up unapologetic real talk and no BS tips to help you build your brand, boost your confidence, shift your mindset, and take action on creating a life and business that makes you excited to get out of bed every morning.

Yolanda’s Book Recommendation for the Ambitious Introvert:

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra
