A Zest For Life

4. Embracing Your Inner Introvert And The Power Of Sensitivity with Emma-Louise Parkes


Listen Later

Would you say you're a highly sensitive person? Do you prefer to recharge your energy by being alone and are you easily overwhelmed by stimuli? Would you describe yourself as an introvert?

For many people, introversion is their superpower!

My very first guest interview on the Becoming Fearless podcast is with Emma-Louise Parkes, CEO and founder of The Ambitious Introvert. We  discuss how the traits of introverts and highly sensitive people can impact various aspects of life, including work, friendships, and parenting.

We cover:

  • Introversion and extroversion are on a spectrum, and individuals can fall anywhere along this spectrum.
  • Introverts recharge their energy by being alone, while extroverts recharge by being around people.
  • Highly sensitive people have a more receptive nervous system and can be easily overwhelmed by stimuli.
  • Understanding and embracing one's introversion or high sensitivity can lead to personal growth and improved relationships.
  • Managing energy and setting boundaries are crucial for introverts and highly sensitive people to avoid burnout.
