Welcome to this week's very special Valentine's episode of The Ambitious Introvert. I never thought that I would be doing a dedicated Valentine's Day episode, but the stars aligned and the timing was perfect. Today, I have invited Manisha Tare, a somatic healing practitioner, on to the show to share how much our nervous system impacts our daily communication, relationships, and life in general. I believe that we will only be as successful as our nervous system is willing to allow us to be, and as we know the way you do anything is the way you do everything. So when you start to prioritise yourself in your relationship, you will see growth in other areas of life - such as in business and other types of relationships. Listen to today’s episode with Manisha to find out how.

Manisha and I discuss:

• How what’s happening in your nervous system can impact how you communicate
• Why it’s so important to have someone hold a safe space for you as you journey through somatic healing 
• The importance of continued education, no matter which industry you may be in as a coach or business owner
• How Manisha uses astrology and Akashic Records to guide her clients through their emotional work
• The positive impact of somatic healing that Manisha has seen with her clients on their relationships and careers

Hello, and welcome to the latest episode of the Ambitious Introvert podcast. Today I’m joined by one of my beautiful clients, Julia de’Caneva, to discuss a topic that often gets misinterpreted and misrepresented – mindfulness. It’s something that I’ve been familiar with for a number of years but I'm really excited to bring Julia on to discuss it because she’s a UCLA trained mindfulness facilitator. We’re going to break down some of the common misconceptions while sharing how you can start to incorporate mindfulness into your own daily routine (and why you should) - enjoy!

Julia and I discuss:

• How Julia uses the practice of mindfulness to especially support introverts and highly sensitive entrepreneurs
• Correcting some of the biggest misunderstandings of what mindfulness is
• The difference between a skill and a practice 
• Why turning your notifications off is one of the best things you can do for yourself
• The connection of meditation, gratitude, and chakras with mindfulness and why you don’t have to do everything
• Small actions you can incorporate into your day to cultivate mindfulness

Kendall Cherry is joining me on today’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert! Kendall is my 1:1 client, a copywriter, agency owner and founder of The Candid Collective. I invited her on today because at the start of our working together she was very resistant to the ‘woo’ - but once she fully embraced the different energetic practices I use, she saw so many transformations in her business, mindset and life. She’s sharing her business journey, how she tackles content creation as a copywriter, and how she’s created a business that perfectly suits her personality.

Kendall and I discuss:

• How Kendall grew into done for you agency work and copywriting as a whole, overcoming the stressors and her inner critic 
• Why Kendall believes in the power of EFT and mindset work, and everything that it’s done for her business
• Why private podcasting feels aligned for Kendall, her personality type, and her ideal clients (but isn’t right for everyone)
• How Kendall’s view of writing her own content has changed because of her copywriting work and experience

Welcome to this week's episode of the Ambitious Introvert! Today, Sarah Anderson is joining us to talk about email marketing. I’m surprised we haven’t covered it because email marketing is something that's been really important to my business success, but is something that I didn't utilise very well at the start. Now however, I cannot imagine my business without it! So I'm excited to bring email marketing to the forefront as a tool of introvert friendly marketing as well.

Sarah and I Discuss:

• Why the first few emails of a sequence are the most important
• How to effectively use an email autoresponder, especially as an introvert 
• What to include in your welcome sequence to set yourself up for success
• The average open rate to aim for 
• Quick and easy steps to get your welcome sequence started today

I’m so excited for today’s guest episode of The Ambitious Introvert - Samantha Touchais is a business and mindset coach, and was recommended to the podcast by previous guest Karen Kissane who knew we’d have so much in common. And she was right - including the way we believe our businesses should be run, agreeing on why introverts can be successful, and the importance of healthy boundaries. I feel like I’ve known Samantha for years, so I can’t wait for you to listen in to our friendly chat!

Topics:

• Approaching coaching with a money mindset vs. a passion mindset 
• The ways in which your energy and emotions can be affected as a business owner
• How Samantha navigated new boundaries when first starting her business
• How your “why” and tight boundaries can made decision making faster and easier 
• Which country is most friendly for sensitive introverts in Samantha’s opinion

Matthew Pollard is on the show today and this introduction is pretty amazing -  Matthew is someone who has been named “The real deal” by Forbes, a best-selling author of some of the best introvert books of all time, and responsible for helping create 5x million-dollar businesses. I invited Matthew on the show because, since niching down into introverts, I’ve found this amazing and welcoming community of other introverts and those who want to support introverts. I feel like Matthew is someone that has genuinely helped me succeed, so I’m  excited for you to hear our conversation today

Topics:

• Why Matthew believes introverts can be the most successful speakers and business owners 
• The importance of knowing our niche so we don’t become a business owner for everyone 
• Why passion is paramount in business, even to the point where you won’t have to worry about making money 
• The impact of stories and how a good one will help you own your niche and grow your business 
• How we can stop overcomplicating sales and business today
