This episode is a little different.

I’m sharing a very honest update on why I’ve decided to pause the podcast and step away from The Ambitious Introvert® as a brand - at least in its current form.

Nothing has gone wrong, I haven’t fallen out of love with the work, and this isn’t me burning everything down and walking away!

Instead, I’ve outgrown what I built, and pretending otherwise would mean forcing something that no longer fits.

So in this episode, I’m talking openly about what’s changing, why now, and how I’m thinking about what comes next.

In this episode, I share:

• Why the podcast itself isn’t the problem, but the brand has become a constraint
• How my work has evolved beyond “business coaching for introverts”
• The tension between podcasts as creative outlets, lead generation tools, and sponsored platforms
• Why clarity matters more than consistency when you’re entering a new chapter
• What’s changing, what’s staying the same, and what I’m taking forward into what comes next
• Why I’m choosing a pause rather than forcing a rushed relaunch
• How you can stay connected and be part of shaping the next iteration of the show

The entire back catalogue will remain available, and when the podcast returns under a new name, it will be on this same feed, so:

👉 Make sure you’re subscribed or following the podcast so you don’t miss the relaunch.
👉 You can also stay in the loop by joining the newsletter at www.theambitiousintrovert.com/newsletter.

If you’ve listened to this show and found value, resonance, or perspective over the years, thank you! This isn’t goodbye. It’s a pause, and a transition into something new.

And if you have thoughts on what you’d love to hear in the next chapter, I’d genuinely LOVE your input. You can email me at [email protected] or connect with me on LinkedIn or Instagram.
