We may know what we're supposed to do to step up in our career, relationships, finances, but what holds us back is a lack of trust.

We don't trust others, we don't trust that problems can be resolved, or that things will work out for the best.

More insidious is that deep down, we don't really trust ourselves.

Maybe we have a pattern of letting ourselves down, giving up too quickly, leaving projects unfinished, saying yes then backing out.

Over time, this undermines our ability to trust ourselves to keep our word.

And if we can't trust ourselves, how can others trust us?

If this is you, listen in for how to reverse the pattern and start trusting yourself - others - and Life.

Thanks for listening!

Did you grow up being told that you were not smart enough, not good-looking enough, not hardworking enough, not lovable enough?

How did that affect you?

As a mature adult and now as a parent, do you find yourself sometimes repeating dysfunctional old patterns even though you want something better for yourself and your family?

How do we find healing from past painful memories and experiences, and create a future of hope, love and acceptance for ourselves and future generations?

It's the classic advice we give as parents, friends, colleagues.

"Just be yourself" - the implication being that if we only do that, everything will be fine.

 People will like us, love us, approve of us, and maybe even give us what we ask for.

But the deeper question we really want answered is: is it safe for me to just be myself?

 What happens when we dare to show up as ourselves - raw, unfiltered, unpolished, imperfect, with our track record of mistakes, dumb decisions, regrettable things we said and did, the things we did that we are now ashamed of?

Can I really just be myself and still be accepted?

Most introverts I know dread small talk.

It feels awkward, fake, scripted.

We would much rather dive straight into deep and meaningful conversations, preferably with those who share our inclinations.

So what is small talk, why should we (bother to) get good at it, and how can introverts small-talk our way to better relationships?

I’m an overthinker, and I have to guess that if you’ve found this podcast, you might be one too.

Overthinking can cause decision paralysis and can stop us from achieving what we know we can achieve.

Often, we intellectually know what to do but we are emotionally invested in getting it “right,” which causes us to take no action at all.

If you find yourself overthinking, tune into this episode to hear about why we overthink and how you can take small steps to stop putting obstacles in your own way.

What does it mean to thrive as an introvert?

I created the T.H.R.I.V.E. framework as a way to help introverts remember that introversion is not a personality flaw. You deserve to revel in your uniqueness and to take up space!

Listen in to learn the components of this framework, and how introverts can go beyond apologizing for being quiet, to thriving in a noisy world.
