Each year brings its own lessons and 2021 is no different.

As we wrap up the new year, it is important that we take time out to reflect on not only the highs but the lows of the year. What were the lessons from 2021 and knowing them, how can we set ourselves up for a better year ahead?

There is nothing worse than repeating the same mistake or learning the same lesson twice. So, I encourage us to take that much needed time to reflect on lessons learnt over the year not to knock yourself down, but to be intentional about how you approach the new year. This is how we are able to grow and improve especially as we all embark on our jounrey to Thriving Introvertly.

In this episode, I share with you 5 Things that I have learnt in 2021. I hope that by sharing mine, it encourages you also to reflect and be more intentional as we cross over to the new year.


Here is a summary of what was spoken about:

• How 2021 has been for me
• Why its Okay to Pivot and how to deal with the emotions of suddenly changing direction
• Setting the Pace that works for you
• Learning how to be Steady in the Lord
• and much more!

Does the label "introvert" make you feel weak?

Does it make you feel limited?

Many of us introverts often feel these emotions, and in the society that we live in today which is more favouring of extroverts, these emotions may seem justified.

But what if I told you that Introvert does not equal weak? 

What if I told you that these very emotions have nothing to do with introversion but with your own mindset surrounding what "introvert" looks and behaves like? 

What if I told you the way you view introversion is keeping you trapped in a box OR if you are an extrovert, is keeping you from potential cool relationships with introverts.

Continuing on from last week's episode, I continue to explore what Introversion truly means and how it should not be used as an excuse to practise inauthentic living by trying to be someone you are not or to not step into your purpose  and be all you were created to be. It should also not be used to confine ourselves to a box and neither should it be used to determine what we do or do not do.

Here is a summary of what was spoken about:

• How Expression of personalities can change overtime
• Defining what Introversion looks like to You 
• Introversion being used as an excuse to not walk in purpose
• What Ambiversion is and how to know if you may be an Ambivert
• and much more!

SEASON TWO IS HERE! 

Why not start this new Season with firstly going back to the very beginning. 

Many people see me as the Creator of the Thriving Introvertly Brand and Host of this amazing podcast who is doing all these amazing things, but what if I told you that this was not always the case?

What if I told you that for many years I felt stuck, unfulfilled, low in confidence and settling for less than I believe God had for me?

What if I told you that I too had my own struggles and battles that I had to face that eventually led me to the place that I am today?

Nothing like this ever happens overnight and in this episode I speak about why I actually started the Podcast and What brought me to this space where I am now FINALLY walking in my purpose as an introvert.

Here is a summary of what was spoken about:

• What I got up to during the Break after Season One ended
• How I originally viewed myself as an introvert
• The Consequences of Living Inauthentically
• The Moment that changed everything for me

Have you ever been on the fence regarding whether you are truly an introvert or not?

There are many different definitions out there when it comes to Introversion. Some of these leave people thinking that they do not fully tick all the boxes and therefore they cannot be introverts, whereas some leave people wanting to run away from the personality altogether due to its negative associations. 

In this episode, we explore what the true meaning of Introversion actually is. We explore how we can define it in such a way that captures the basic core of what it is and not just simply defining it by the traits that some and not all introverts actually possess. 

Here is a summary of what was spoken about:

• How Introversion is defined in Society 
• The Origin of Introversion
• The True meaning of Introversion based on Energy Dynamics
• Difference between Shyness and Introversion
• and much more!

Do you believe that you can develop into an introvert later on in life or are born with it?

Many people believe that being an introvert is something that one can develop overtime and may not necessarily be born an introvert whereas others believe that being an introvert is something someone is naturally born with.

There are two sides of this argument and on this Season Finale of the Introverts We Thrive Podcast, I spoke about both sides of the argument and gave my own opinion of which I believe is more accurate.

Here is a summary of what I spoke about:

• What is Genetic Introversion?
• Arguments in favour of Genetic Introversion
• What is environmental Introversion?
• Arguments in favour of Environmental Introversion
• Next Steps for the Podcast including Season Two!

Stepping out in your purpose as an Introvert may require to tap into the part of you that you never knew existed.

Who would have thought that a shy introverted girl who once felt like she could not speak coherently in a way that others would be able to understand what she is saying, now has a Podcast with a growing audience around the world. 

Yeah that's me. How did I get here?

I had to tap into that part of me that God put inside me to be able to do what I do today.

Letting go is hard.

On our journey to trying to become our best selves, glow up, level up and take steps out of our comfort zone, we have to make the conscious effort to let go of certain things or people that we cannot take into the next season. 

That's never easy.

Also making the effort to release negative mindsets and change how we view ourselves in order for us to thrive and fulfil purpose is also never easy. 

There's no quick fix or easy solution.

Its a process. Its a journey and acknowledging that opens up room for you to give yourself grace as you intentionally move towards your higher calling and who you were created to be.

In this episode, I spoke about letting go with grace and intentionality especially of the things that we have been so familiar with for so long. 

Here is a summary of what was spoken about: 

• The difficulties in Letting go especially as an Introvert
• My personal experience of re-evaluating specific positions in my life to step into a new season
• How to let things go and break things up the right way
• and much more!

Could a counterfeit be taking the space of purpose in your life right now?

A counterfeit is something we cling onto, something that gives us a false sense of fulfilment, something that looks like it could be our purpose when really it is just taking up unnecessary space.

While it takes up space, it does not allow us to to create room for when our actual purpose comes calling.

In this week's episode of the Introverts We Thrive Podcast, I spoke about why releasing the counterfeit is so important on the journey to actually uncovering and fully stepping into your purpose as an Introvert. 

Here is a summary of what was spoken about: 

• The importance of releasing the Counterfeit
• The popular social media post that perfectly depicts what holding onto the counterfeit looks like
• How the counterfeit prevents you from stepping into your purpose
• and much more!

Do you often find yourself doubting your ability to lead as an Introvert?

In the society we live in today, it is so easy for us to fall into the trap of feeling like we Introverts cannot lead.

This is primarily because society has often associated Leadership with the extrovert personality and making us believe that only extroverts could thrive in a leadership position of any capacity.

Today’s episode of the Introverts We Thrive Podcast  focuses on how quiet voices can also be fearless leaders. I spoke with special Guest Terrance Lee,  Author and Leadership Coach about how we Introverts can also lead while staying true to ourselves at the core.

Terrance shares his experience as an introvert in society and how he has been able to navigate his journey in the defence industry and being in a position of Leadership right now while being an introvert. As the creator of 'The Introvert Leader’ platform and the author of ‘Quiet Voice, Fearless Leader’; he is passionate about empowering introverts and helping them to grow as leaders.

Terrance also talks about the importance of stepping into leadership confidently and believing in yourself that you can do it. He speaks on discovering what has kept you from being a leader, how it has impacted your life, and how you can release its hold on you. 

Here is a summary of what was spoken about: 

• An experience Terrance had in the 7th grade that changed his life forever 
• The presence of self-doubt and how to counter it
• How to respond to negative assumptions society makes of introverts
• What it takes to make others see the good introverts have in them 
• The 3 pillars of value you need to become an introvert leader
• The essence of releasing the contradictions and negativity holding you back
• and much more!
