Today on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast I’m looking right back at the beginning of my online business journey. While I’ve been in the process of refining The Ambitious Introvert Academy® one of the statements I’ve used as a guiding compass is ‘I wish I had this when I started my business’. As it turns out, there are a few things I wish I *didn’t* have, too! As always I hope you’ll find this episode helpful in deciding how you feel about certain areas of business, with today’s topic focussing s...

Welcome back to the ‘How I Think About……’ series on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast, where I share my behind the scenes thought processes around key themes in my business.

Seeing as my entire business is designed to support ambitious introverts, this episode has been a long time coming! It took me a while to focus on a niche in my coaching business. I knew I...

We’re taking a break from the ‘How I Think About…..’ series this week - instead I’m sharing a behind the scenes round-up of my business this month. I’ve had positive feedback when I’ve recorded episodes like this in the past so I’m excited to share what’s been going on in my business in the first few weeks of 2023. These episodes will cover what I've been working on, anything I've changed in the business, milestones I've reached etc, as well as things I'm seeing in the online space. I love heari...

Welcome to the fourth instalment in the ‘How I Think About…..’ series on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast. In this mini series I’m sharing my thoughts in an organic, stream-of-consciousness way, which I hope will help you see that there’s no one right way of doing things! In fact my thoughts on all the topics so far have hugely changed since I first started in business, and it’s these thought processes that I’ve found to be the most helpful in supporting my clients to work out how they want to t...

Welcome to the third episode in the How I Think About….. Series. This week I’m sharing my thoughts on investing, specifically related to investments in our businesses. There’s a LOT of educational content online showing us how to do XYZ, but we don’t often see the thought process behind the actions online business owners take. But it’s actually the thought process that gives us the changes and breakthroughs we need, because it’s a reflection of our mindset (and we know how important that is). My...

This week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast is the second in the ‘How I Think About…..’ series, and today I’m sharing my thoughts on Marketing. I haven’t always had a great relationship with marketing, but I now consider it a gateway to working with clients I love to support. If you’ve ever felt not entirely in love with it either, consider this episode not only permission giving, but also perhaps a new perspective that could help you feel better about it! It’s so important, now more...

Welcome to the first 2023 episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast and the beginning of a special series of episodes called ‘How I Think About….’ So much of my own growth during my 4 years in business has come not from what I’ve done or what someone else has taught me, but the way I’ve changed how I think about something. These How I Think About…. episodes will be an unscripted look at the thought patterns and processes that have had the biggest impact on my business, and I’m delighted to sha...

As a minimalist at heart, I LOVE to keep things as simple as possible. This is true of my personal life AND my business, and at this time of year when things start to wind down I take the opportunity to have a good old spring clean. In today’s solo episode (and the last of 2022!) I’m sharing some of the things I do at the end of the year to start fresh for 2023. I hope you find a few things in this episode to inspire you to set yourself up for the best start of the year. Why I have a good clear ...

We’ve been speaking A LOT about mindset and business strategy recently on the show, so I’m delighted to change the focus slightly this week to a more physical aspect of sensitivity. Today I’m joined by Jessi Michel Agadoni, who specialises in helping natural sensitives create authentic calm in their bodies - helping them cultivate the grounded, sustainable energy they uniquely need to do powerful work. Jessi’s journey from misunderstood child to owning her own natural and developed sensitivities...

This week’s episode is on a topic that was requested by an audience member around 9 months ago - how to run a business when you have anxiety. As I don’t suffer from anxiety myself I wanted to speak with an entrepreneur who did, so I’m delighted to welcome my guest Katrina Aronson to share her perspective on the subject. Katrina is a business coach who helps her clients run and grow their business in a way that feels authentic to them. After leaving the corporate world and going onto scale a busi...

How many ‘must-use’ productivity hacks have you tried? And how many have worked? If you’re anything like me, you will have worked through A LOT of different time management strategies. And if you’re in the ‘why doesn’t this work for me?’ stage, this week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast is a must listen. I spoke to Reese Spykerman about taking back your time, and there are some incredible takeaways that I know will help you get more done in a way that feels good to you. Building a s...

This week on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast I’m addressing a topic that I’ve seen become pretty toxic in some circles online - the spiritual messages we see around creating a positive mindset, particularly related to manifestation. I’ve been practicing manifestation knowingly for 13 years, but had actually been doing it without realising for a lot longer! I 100% believe that your mindset is an extraordinarily powerful factor in your success as a business owner, but some of the ‘high vibes only...

One of the many misconceptions about being an introvert is that we’re all quiet and shy, but if you’ve listened to this podcast for a while you’ll KNOW that’s not the case. This week’s guest is proof that even if you do consider yourself as shy, that doesn’t need to be your identity forever! Laurie-Ann Murabito describes herself as a reformed painfully shy girl who accidentally became a professional speaker. One of the things I loved about our conversation is how Laurie-Ann uses stories to conne...

The common narrative in the online space is all about growing your business - but what if you actually want to go the other way and scale DOWN? In today’s episode I’m going behind the business with coach Megan Yelaney. Megan helps her clients establish their unique brand voice in the online space using what Megan calls her ‘unique coaching method’. One of the reasons why I was so excited to talk to Megan is that the trajectory of her business probably isn’t what you expect. In fact she took a de...

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 th...

In today’s solo episode I’m talking about something that on paper seems quite simple but in practice can be misunderstood, and that’s the concept of ‘ideal clients’. Like many of the topics I talk about on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast, the idea for this week’s episode came from a recent call I had with one of my own clients. I hope you find this behind the scenes conversation helpful for your own business, even if you think you’ve nailed the whole ‘ideal client’ thing already! In this episod...

This episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast is one that is so important for entrepreneurs and so overlooked. When I trademarked The Ambitious Introvert®, so many of you reached out and said, wow, it looks really official. It does give that perceived credibility, and it looks really great. But there is SO much more to protecting your business and protecting your intellectual property than it's just looking good. So I am thrilled to be joined by today's guest Sarah Waldbuesser Esq, who is an ...

Welcome to this week's episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast. You know you need it, but you might not know how to go about it - this week we’re talking all things messaging! I’m joined by Dr Michelle Mazur, who will help us not only demystify everything to do with messaging but also give us a really simple way of distilling it down and actually applying it to our own business. Are you sick of being the best-kept secret in your niche? Are you relying on referrals for clients? Do your social...

This week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast will hit home with so many of you, because it’s based on a word that comes up with every single client I work with. It’s appeared on every single application I've ever had to work with me, and it's one that I use myself a lot, and that is - overwhelm. So I can't think of anyone better to speak to than Life Coach and Author Woody Rini. Woody is a life coach who specialises in getting people the helpful resources they need to live a meaningfu...

Welcome to this solo episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast, inspired by question a client asked me a few weeks ago: “Why does coaching sometimes feel amazing? And then it sometimes feels so hard?” And as someone that has coached a lot of clients and worked with many coaches myself, I completely understood what she meant! This feeling of coming off some calls feeling like I can conquer the world, and then leaving others feeling drained and a little bit despondent. So join me in this episode...

I'm very excited about this week's episode is because I get to highlight a product-based business, and this doesn't happen very often. All of my clients are service-based, but I know that many of you have product-based businesses, so I'm thrilled to be able to offer you something! This week I am joined by Tu-Hien Le, Owner of Beaugen @tuhien.le @themamaverse. And we talked about how she took her product-based business from an idea to a 7-figure business. WE GET INTO The insights of building a bu...

This subject doesn't get enough air in the online space probably because everyone wants to talk about all those different things that will see immediate results and make money. So we see a lot of talks online about marketing, getting out there, and making sales. But sometimes we can forget that there are people on the other side of that social media or the other side of zoom or downloading your digital products. So it's something that has always been important to me is to keep the human aspect o...

It may have taken me two years to get around to this topic, but I have finally done it! You guys know how passionate I am about anything that helps us understand ourselves, any system that gives us permission to lean into who we are rather than make ourselves wrong. But I have to be honest; this is of all the different personality tests. This is the one that I know the least about. So I'm thrilled to be joined by an absolute expert Steph Barron Hall for this week's podcast episode to delve into ...

Building a business with an analytical mind that constantly craves evidence hand in hand with a culture of instant gratification can mean it is hard for us to believe that our strategy is working. It has left us all with serious trust issues! I have been over this many times with my clients. It has also affected me in the early stages of building my business! In this episode, I delve into the most common reasons business strategies fail, which might not be for the reasons you think! I WILL BE TA...

We’re all unique, so it's important to consider different ways of marketing - and though I’m not big into video myself, today I’m diving into the benefits of YouTube for your business! Video isn't just Facebook lives, Reels and TikTok - there's a whole other world of longer form content out there that you can make work for your energy as an introvert. I chat with Jamar Diggs, a YouTube strategist and manager who helps online coaches, consultants and service providers use YouTube to funnel warm t...

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 adap...

Today’s episode is about 5 sneaky energy leaks in your business - that might be stopping you from growing and scaling. And even if your business is exactly where you want it to be, these leaks may still be depleting your energy, slowing you down, or making you work more than you need to for the same results. It's about the optimal use of your energy. So whatever stage you are at, whether you are early days, growing, or established - if you’re an introverted, highly sensitive empath, these are th...
