- Episode 45 | Networking for Introverted Entrepreneurs: How to Build Meaningful Connections Online and Offline
In this week’s special panel-style episode, Hannah is joined by four guests to explore networking for introverts and how introverted entrepreneurs can build meaningful relationships both online and offline.
Amber Hart, of Hey Amber is a copywriter, project manager and website designer who works with neuro-divergent and female coaches, therapists, storytellers and creatives.
Jane Carter, of Jane Carter Coaching, built a successful therapy practice before turning her sights to business-coaching, where she helps solopreneurs and small business owners bring more money, freedom and joy back to their businesses.
Shannon Russell, host of the Second Act Success Podcast, is a career transition coach and certified YOUMAP coach whose focus is in helping women become the best version of themselves, while they pursue a life they dream about.
Cindy Norton Stokes, of Mountain Practice Journeys is a coach & mentor for mystics, introverts, & highly sensitive souls. Cindy also hosts the Mountain Practice Journeys Podcast and The Forest, a comfy, cozy community for women+, introverts, highly sensitive people, solopreneurs, nature lovers, mystics, & witches.
As a mix of introverts, extroverted introverts and ambiverts, the panel share their personal experience with networking, the challenges they’ve faced and the solutions they’ve found.
They discuss how being an introvert can often wrongly be perceived as shyness, how social media can be just as draining as in-person events and some of the roadblocks they come up against when networking.
The top takeaways from the panel’s discussion are:
Forgiving ourselves when we can’t or don’t want to show up on social media. We don’t need to criticize ourselves.
Owning our vulnerability or anxiety at an event as acknowledging it makes it easier.
Seeking out places in which we feel comfortable for networking.
Making connections on our own terms.

50 min - Episode 44 | Solopreneur Stories: Social Media Manager Ashley Lyons Shares Her Marketing Journey
In this episode, Ashley Lyons from Dynamic Online Marketing joins Hannah to discuss the challenges she faced marketing her solo business.
After years managing her in-home daycare and managing the social media for her husband’s business on the side, Ashley decided to take the next step and launch her own business as a social media manager and virtual assistant.
Ashley attended school to train for her chosen career change but found the experience was focused more on preparing her to be an employee than CEO of her own business.
Ashley connected with Hannah through an internship, where she later signed Hannah as her first client. When Ashley was offered the opportunity to sign up for the beta version of Set Up For Success, she jumped at the chance.
Ashley shares how her experiences participating in the Set Up For Success coaching program helped her:
Overcoming imposter syndrome and building confidence
using email marketing for her business
preparing her as an online business owner
Now Ashley is confidently managing her business and attracting clients of her own through her updated marketing approach.
