The Quiet Powerhouse Podcast

Introverted or not, none of us ever want a disadvantage to define us. That said, the majority of business owners join the ranks of entrepreneurship with something, some trait, which could be considered a setback.

In today’s episode I introduce you to Paige Smith. She is an entrepreneur who wears many hats, possesses an array of talents, and is already becoming an incredible role model for people who stutter.

She’s going to talk with us about powering through impediments to be successful in our endeavours. Specifically for Paige, she overcomes the challenges of speaking with a stutter. She delivers inspiration, insight, and sage advice through lived experience to show us that you can turn your entrepreneur dreams into reality.

We hear about gratitude all the time... How practicing it has incredible benefits to one's life, how it makes us experience positive emotions and how it make us kinder and more compassionate human beings

But how does it actually work? What happens internally to change us and improve our well-being? And how does it affect the way we do business?

In this episode, we explore how gratitude works, the benefits it has on the way we run our business and easy ways to practice it daily.

Many of our inner fears can show up when we're about to send an email to our subscribers. We may be thinking: "What if they think my course is ridiculously priced? What if I annoy them by sending another email? What if they unsubscribe?"

In this episode, I address all those commons fears and give you some fresh thought perspectives as to how to approach them when you find those inner demons creeping up.

As introverts, we’re quite comfortable having one-on-one conversations or video calls. But terror strikes when we’re the one speaking to an audience of many, whether in a recorded or live video.

Michelle Daides is my guest on today’s episode. She addresses the common fears we quiet souls experience putting ourselves in front of the camera and hitting the “go live” or record button. This anxiety stems from putting the emphasis on our “performance” when, in reality, it should be less about us and more about the value in what we’re communicating to serve our viewers. They want to learn something from you. They’re not looking to be entertained. That’s the job of professional actors.

Michelle offers a ton of excellent advice in this episode to help us prepare mentally and physically to show up confidently and authentically on video. You can do it! No previous acting experience required.

The most important relationship in the world is the one you have with yourself. And yet we spend so much more time observing others and comparing ourselves to them than we do checking in with ourselves.

In this episode my guest, Claudia Aronowitz, explains how this can lead to self-loathing. She offers great advice on how to check in with yourself and embrace your own values and who you are to the core. Once you learn to love and accept yourself, you’ll see yourself in a truer light—as a beautifully flawed AND talented being. Just like everyone else—and yet set apart from everyone else. That’s humanity.

My guest today is Christen N. James, Mindset & Transition Coach. I couldn’t think of anyone better to talk us introverted business owners through what it means to self-advocate.

CJ brings us on her own journey of self-awareness about speaking and standing up for yourself. In business - as well as in life sometimes as introverts, we tend to please everyone but ourselves. Enter self-advocacy. In this episode, CJ explains what it starts and ends with.

BIO

Christen N. James (fondly known as CJ) is a Mindset & Transition Coach for individuals going through a professional transition, be it starting a new Business or new Career. She has a BA in Psychology and Certification in Solution-Focused Therapy and had worked her way up to a leadership role after entering the corporate world.

Once in that role, one facet that gave her great fulfillment was coaching her team on their personal growth and professional development to move up within the organization. After over a decade of guiding each person to confidently apply their newly discovered or developed skills to take on more challenging and fulfilling roles in their careers - while living balanced personal lives - something clicked for her.

She made a decision it was time for her corporate journey to end and started to will the Universe to get laid off… And it happened! Without hesitation, she returned to school to start her own transition into becoming a Certified Life Skills Coach. Deciding on a niche was easy because she knew that she wanted to continue helping people in Transition walk in their true Purpose.

It was during her own transition, which became a journey to self-awareness, that CJ started asking herself questions that she felt were important to address if you want to feel more fulfilled and she started to pay more attention to the importance of understanding Mindset.

Now, through the Emotion into Motion Model™, she highlights the benefit of finding balance between personal development and professional growth by understanding how much our experiences, emotions, mental blocks and limiting beliefs can influence our thoughts and impact our actions - ultimately how we show up in our Businesses or Careers.

She helps her clients take their Mindset from Struggling to Strategic, by overcoming obstacles like discomfort or navigating the stages of Loss, and get the necessary Clarity to approach their new path strategically through effective planning and goal settings, so that they get results that are aligned with their values.

My guest today is entrepreneur and graphic designer Danielle Lewis. The very nature of Danielle’s work is helping business owners promote their brand and presence. The online space is where she thrives and feels authentic as an introvert—for her clients and herself.

Danielle has found that sharing about herself on social media gives clients and prospects a glimpse into her values and the type of person she is and, therefore, what it would be like to work with her. In return, she appreciates honest communication in a business relationship and encourages clients to give her feedback even if it’s uncomfortable because it’s the best way to collaborate. It has even turned clients into friends. During our conversation, Danielle touches on a few different examples of the issues that are important to her and how speaking up about them has helped herself and others.

She teaches us that introverts can use their introspective better than others and advocate where it’s needed.

When you think of the acting world, you don't necessarily think that an introvert would blend naturally in that environment.

But that’s not necessarily true. It’s indeed possible and comes with certain challenges —as my guest Courtney Ferguson explains in this episode.

Courtney’s childhood dream was to act. She performed in church and high school plays, studied drama at a prestigious university, and got acting gigs immediately upon graduation. But after landing some leading roles, the curtain fell on her promising career.

What happened? Courtney was living her aspiration yet was drained and distracted. She didn’t understand why and she exited stage left.

This is where the plot thickens. With time away from the stage, Courtney finally gets some answers. How does it play out? Grab a front row seat … you’re about to find out.

BIO

Courtney is an actress based out of Atlanta and New York City. She is also a graduate of Howard University with a BFA in Acting. 

As an introvert in an extroverted business, it has been a struggle for her to navigate the ins and outs of the industry. Additionally, she has dealt with shyness, anxiety and stage fright! 

Discovering and embracing her introversion unlocked the key she needed to truly go after her dreams and overcome the barriers that were holding her back.

She created the instagram account @introvert_actress to share her journey

Have you sometimes noticed that when you set a business goal or desire for yourself, you start seeing peers in your industry acquire the very same "thing" you're wanting to create.

Whether it's a new launch that you've spent months planning or a product that is similar to yours that was in the works... others have launch them before you did.

It's easy to get stuck in the "why them, why now, why not me?" thinking. Often, we start playing the comparison game and that often leads us down the path of beating ourselves up thinking we are not good enough, smart enough or not deserving of business success.

Today, I'm introducing you to the Driftwood Concept so that next time you're noticing that others are having what you desire, it's a great indication as to what is coming for you.

This introvert is flying solo today. Join “yours truly” for an intimate conversation where I talk to you about my own story of creating a business that’s aligned with my passion.

You know me as a coach who helps introverted business owners be more visible, make more impact, and generate more revenue. What you don’t know is my journey to get here was anything but direct. There were times I was lost in the fog until the clouds would dissipate and I’d see clear sky ahead.

I discuss how I transitioned from one business to another, the 6 steps I took to combat negative emotions that arose from starting something new and unfamiliar, and ultimately finding my purpose.

And what does purpose mean to me? Listen in to find out. What does it mean to you? And can you relate to my story? Please share in the comments.
