Your introverted personality can either be your most valuable tool for communication or a hinderance: When you know how to use it the right way, it helps you to survive and thrive in the real world, but when you don’t know how to use it, it can become a roadblock to success.

Maybe you’re not creating the fulfilling relationships and social connections that you want.

Maybe you’re not progressing in your career or your business.

Maybe you can’t find solid friends on whom you can rely and who actually like your quiet, introverted personality.

All because you don’t know the power that your introverted personality holds.

We need to fix that, introvert!

Here’s what I talk about in this week’s podcast episode:

How to stop hiding behind your introverted personality

How to harness the power of your introverted communication strengths

How to communicate with quiet confidence as an introvert instead of quiet fear

What do you call a world without conflict? Delusion; fantasy land; the land of unicorns and rainbows; whatever you call it, that place does not exist on earth.

Conflict is an unavoidable part of human relationships, which means that if you are one of those people who consistently tries to avoid conflict to keep the peace, I’m betting that you are not getting what you want out of life.

You’re not getting the relationships you want, and even when you do manage to create relationships, they fizzle out or remain stagnant because you’re afraid to ask those tough questions and have those difficult conversations.

In this episode, I want to offer you a better, less scary outlook on conflict than what you currently have, so that you can see just how much addressing conflict can strengthen your personal and professional relationships (and maybe even end relationships that are not serving you).

Your voice is one of your most intrinsically valuable attributes as a human, and yet you're treating it like it's something to hide and be ashamed of.

Your voice allows you to connect and communicate; to form and maintain relationships; to move forward in your career and make more money; to advocate for yourself; and more, but for some reason you just can’t build up the courage to speak up and let people hear it.

Well, the good news is that just how you learned to be afraid of it, you can learn to embrace it!

In this episode, I’ll reveal the real reason you are so afraid of using your own voice, and I’ll explain my 3-step blueprint you can follow to start using your voice with confidence.

Social burnout can be draining, whether you’re an introvert, autistic, or both simultaneously.

We’ve all been in that situation where we’re at a social event that started off great with our social batteries on 100%, but as we begin to feel our social battery drain, we start to stare off into the distance and suddenly go quiet among company, which doesn’t always make us fun to be around.

How can we manage our social battery during a social event without coming off as stand-offish and looking like we dislike present company, and afterwards ensure we have plenty of alone time to recharge between social gatherings and events?

That’s what this episode is all about! Listen in as I use my recent work trip to Las Vegas, NV where I talked to around 100 people a day for 3 days straight without completely losing my mind (mostly).

Self-reflection is having tough conversations with yourself about yourself. It is crucial in order for us to keep our own egos in check and prevent poor decisions from making our lives worse, but would you believe me if I told you that there is a right and a wrong way to self-reflect? It’s true!

In this episode, I’ll talk about how to do do self-reflection the right way so that your acts of self-reflection are not unproductive or worse, counterproductive, as well as my own experience with self-reflection as a once socially anxious introvert who was hiding behind my introversion. We’ll talk about removing major distractions during self-reflection, clearing and calming your mind for better meditation sessions, and we’ll discuss why self-reflection is not meant to be done purely by yourself, despite what the term “self” implies.

WARNING: Don’t listen unless you’re really ready to take a good long look in the mirror!

When you think of an extrovert, you probably think of words like lively, charismatic, loud, exuberant, exciting, and fun. When you think of an introvert, however, we can seem boring and less confident next to our extroverted counterparts.

In this podcast, I’ll explain what it means to communicate with quiet confidence instead of quiet fear as an introvert so that you can stop feeling like being an extrovert is the only way to exude confidence!

The concept of being “likeable” is a sore spot for many misfits who don’t really fit into what’s considered normal social behavior, including myself at one point in my life. It can feel like you are putting on a performance for people just so that they will want to be your friend, which of course is not a great feeling to have about yourself.

In fact, some people are so fed up with putting on this performance that they have chosen a life of seclusion and emotional withdrawal because they have been so scarred by social exclusion, rejection, and even outright bullying, for simply behaving in a way that’s natural for them.

I even did a poll on Facebook among neurodivergent adults on the autism spectrum asking what their initial reaction was to the phrase, “Be more likeable,” and the general consensus was not great.

This episode is dedicated to all of you misfits who want to learn how to be “likable” without feeling like a fraud. You’ll learn my 3 best tips for being someone that people enjoy being around without feeling like you are constantly performing for people’s approval, specifically neurotypical people.

Are you jealous of extroverts? I recently did a poll of shy and socially awkward introverts on Facebook, asking if they struggled with feeling jealous of extroverts who can talk to people with ease and charisma, and the overwhelming majority of them, about 72%, answered, “Yes.” That means that quite a bit of you could use some help from someone who was formerly jealous of extroverts (me, including my own sister at one point)!

This episode is for those of you shy, socially anxious, socially awkward introverts who find yourself looking at the extroverts in your life and wishing and praying that you had even an ounce of the charismatic, larger-than-life personality that many of them possess. I’m going to demonstrate to you how you can get rid of those feelings of jealousy by building confidence in and harnessing the power of your introverted qualities.

My Grandma Ann always tells me, “Just keep living, and it’ll all make sense.” That's what inspired this episode, which is all about the myth of quick fixes for every problem in life. In the current age of instant gratification and high-tech smartphones that give us quick and easy access to everything 24/7, it can be hard to “trust the process” without expecting everything to happen right away. We order things from Amazon overnight, we pay other people to do our grocery shopping so that we can sleep in, and of course we expect to see the fruits of our labor immediately.

The tough truth is that no matter how many technological advances we make for ourselves, we can’t always find quick fixes for the struggles we face in life — at least not without some downsides. So, in this episode, I’ll talk about why quick fixes aren’t always the best solution and I’ll share a 4-step solution you can use to stop rushing the process and instead trust the process, all tied together with my Grandma’s age-old advice, “Just keep living, and it will all make sense.”
