In this solo episode of The Ambitious Introvert®, I'm diving deep into three powerful client stories to highlight common introvert challenges and, importantly, the solutions to them that lead to better performance. You'll learn how to: Break the Cycle of Constant Task Switching: Understand the real cost of distractions, why notifications are secretly sabotaging your energy and productivity, and how setting clear boundaries and communicating openly can dramatically shift your workday. Recognize Invisible Energy Drains: Discover why "not doing much" might actually be exhausting you, how emotional and mental labor quietly impacts your energy, and a simple tool to visualize your bandwidth and prevent burnout. Celebrate Your Wins, the Right Way: Stop underestimating your accomplishments by getting granular. I'll show you why breaking achievements down into their true complexity boosts confidence and helps you fully recognize your growth. If you've ever felt misunderstood, overwhelmed, or like your introverted energy just isn't aligning with the demands of your work or personal life, this episode is full of strategies to help you reclaim your energy and thrive on your own terms.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedEver feel like your brain just works differently - like how you need more space, more quiet, or more time to think? In this solo episode of The Ambitious Introvert® , I’m diving into some fascinating (and science-backed) reasons why that’s not just in your head - it’s actually how your brain is wired. We’ll explore three key ways introverts process, respond, and recharge that set us apart - not in a “fix yourself” kind of way, but in a “ohhhh, that’s why I do that!” kind of way. If you’ve ever second-guessed the way you work or wondered why other people seem to thrive on things that drain you, this one’s for you. Here’s what we cover: Why dopamine floods can feel overwhelming, and which neurotransmitter is the introvert’s secret weapon for calm focus. The surprising way introverts use more brain energy, and what it means for your fatigue levels and social battery. What really happens when you pause before speaking, and why your slower processing is actually a strength. How your brain’s default mode influences decision-making, reflection, and creativity by taking the long road Whether you’re an introvert wanting to better understand your own patterns or someone who leads or lives with one, this episode will help you reframe how you think about energy, focus, and expression.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWhat if the hardest thing you've ever faced ended up being the biggest gift of your life? My guest on The Ambitious Introvert® this week is Krista Ryan – a Workplace Performance expert, speaker, coach, and former HR director who brings nearly two decades of leadership experience to her mission of helping individuals and organizations thrive through change. But this conversation isn’t just about leadership - it’s about resilience, presence, and how a stage 3 cancer diagnosis changed everything. Krista shares how surviving colorectal cancer reshaped her life, her leadership, and her priorities. We talk about what resilience really looks like (hint: it’s not just powering through), why vulnerability is one of the strongest things you can practice, and how living more in the now can create greater impact than chasing future goals ever will. Whether you're leading a team, navigating a personal challenge, or simply trying to stay grounded in a fast-paced world, Krista’s wisdom will leave you feeling both seen and inspired. Tune in to hear us discuss: 1. Why resilience is a practiced skill, not a personality trait - and it starts with pausing before reacting. 2. How vulnerability and asking for help aren’t weaknesses, they’re accelerators for growth and connection. 3. Why the best life is the one happening right now; chasing the future often pulls us out of alignment. 4. The way a single resilient person can shift the energy of an entire organization. 5. How simple daily rituals like solo walks or intention-setting can restore clarity, energy, and focus. If you're ready to redefine resilience on your own terms, this one’s for you. https://www.kristaryan.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/krista-ryan-pcc-b91830164/ CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: https://theambitiousintrovert.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmalouparkes/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkes Sign up to receive my monthly Introverts Only digest, delivering all the best introvert-friendly resources straight to your inbox, minus the scroll here .

Making a major change can feel terrifying - but what if fear isn’t a stop sign, but a signal that you're on the right path? My guest on this episode of The Ambitious Introvert® is Meg Trucano Ph.D. - a developmental psychologist and confidence coach who helps ambitious women navigate major life and career changes. After spending 15+ years leading high-profile research for U.S. government agencies, she experienced burnout and realized external success didn’t equal fulfillment. Now, she empowers women to reclaim their time, energy, and self-trust while building careers and lives that align with their true desires. Meg shares her personal journey from high-achieving corporate leader to entrepreneur, breaking down the misconceptions around life transitions and what it really takes to make a big change. We also dive into the psychology of flow states, outdated work narratives, and how simplifying your approach to success can lead to more energy and fulfillment. Meg is also a private client of mine, so we also dive into the changes she’s seen as an introvert working with an introvert-specific coach! Big career changes can feel terrifying - but courage is acting despite fear Flow happens when skill meets challenge, and more flow may lead to more success The outdated work beliefs that are keeping us stuck Success isn’t one-size-fits-all - if fact, Meg found more impact (and energy) by focusing on only what actually worked for her.

That it only shows up during a crisis - or that it's not really relevant to your everyday life or work? My guest on this episode of The Ambitious Introvert® is here to challenge all of that! Jim Moorhead is a keynote speaker, bestselling author, and trusted advisor to Fortune 500 companies. Drawing from his background as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, investment banker at Goldman Sachs, and law firm partner, he’s developed a powerful framework for building and modeling bravery - both personally and organizationally. His book, The Instant Survivor: Right Ways to Respond When Things Go Wrong , is a go-to guide for responding to adversity with grounded, intentional action. In this episode, Jim breaks down the biggest myths around bravery, how leaders and teams can cultivate it (yes, it’s learnable!), and why consistent small brave actions matter far more than one-off heroics. Whether you’re leading a business, working in a team, or simply trying to show up more fully for yourself, you’ll take something away from this conversation. Tune in to hear: Bravery isn’t innate - it’s a skill you can build over time Misconceptions about bravery that are holding people and companies back How companies that talk about, model, and reward bravery create space for innovation Why naming and celebrating bravery helps reinforce it across teams and cultures Ways to be brave every single day - no crisis required! If you've ever told yourself you're "just not brave", this episode is your invitation to rethink that entirely.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedEver notice how you're your own worst critic? Do you talk to yourself in ways you’d NEVER speak to another human? This episode is all about self-compassion - what it really means, the latest research behind it, and how it can transform both your mental and physical health. After reflecting on my own experiences so far this year - as well as what I’ve seen with friends and clients - I realised that self-compassion (or more often, the lack of it) plays a huge role in so many areas of our wellbeing and success. In this episode, I break down why we’re so quick to criticise ourselves, and how shifting to a more compassionate mindset can be life-changing. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 💡 What self-compassion actually is - and why it’s VERY different from self-indulgence 🧠 The latest scientific research showing the powerful effects of self-compassion on mental and physical health 🚀 The real impact of self-criticism vs. self-compassion, how it influences your motivation, resilience, and overall wellbeing 💛 Simple ways to practice self-compassion (even if it doesn’t come naturally) 🔍 3 real-life examples of how self-compassion has played an important role in my life, my clients' journeys, and conversations with friends this year Key Takeaways: - Self-criticism isn’t a motivator - it’s often a roadblock to success, making challenges feel heavier and harder to overcome (and using more energy…) - Simple mindset shifts can help you build a more compassionate inner voice and reduce the pressure you put on yourself. - Self-compassion isn’t about making excuses - it’s about recognising that being kind to yourself fuels long-term growth and success. If you struggle with perfectionism, harsh self-talk, or feeling like you never quite measure up, this episode is for you!

We discuss: How being able to communicate what we want and need is crucial to helping us reach our potential Examples of how we can appear to ‘act out’ when we find it hard to vocalise our needs The different types of apology, and understanding this is similar to knowing your Love Language How connecting to our humanity improves workplace well being and relationships, and makes us a better leader The unmet need many introverts have because they’re not sure how to ask for it! As Kate says in the episode, "compassion is meeting people where they are and meeting myself where I am", which is such an empowering way to approach all types of communication.

With proof of concept that remote and hybrid working don’t reduce productivity (in fact, quite the opposite), companies are now embracing flexible options - which is great news for those ambitious introverts with a severe case of wanderlust! This week on the podcast I’m joined by long-time digital nomad Lucy Bedewi, a messaging strategy and copywriter who runs her business My Write Hand Woman while travelling full time. Tune in to hear Lucy share all the details of her lifestyle, including: Why she chose living out of a suitcase over Corporate America How a leap of faith vacation with an internet friend she’d never met in 2020 changed everything (spoiler alert - she never went home!) Why balancing work time and fun time is even more important on the road, and the mindset reframe that’s allowed her to do this without feeling like she’s ‘missing out’ Her back-up tech stack to ensure she’s able to get online whatever the circumstances Why relationships can actually thrive with full time travel How tricky time zones helped her get very strict with her boundaries (and how this had a massive positive impact on her energy and business) Whether you’re an employee or a business owner, tune in to hear what’s possible if both travel AND career success are non-negotiables for you!

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWelcome back to the ‘How I Think About……’ series on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast, where I share my behind the scenes thought processes around key themes in my business. So far I’ve covered Mindset, Marketing, Investing and Social Media, and today I’m sharing How I Think About……Being An Ambitious Introvert. Seeing as my entire business is designed to support ambitious introverts, this episode has been a long time coming! It took me a while to focus on a niche in my coaching business. I knew I wanted to support introverts (like me) but it was important for me to create messaging that made it clear exactly the type of introvert I could help the most. In this week’s episode I’m sharing how I went about creating that distinction and the thought process that led me to create The Ambitious Introvert® brand. I’ll be talking about: How I think about being ambitious (and the distinction I make between ‘being ambitious’ and ‘having ambition’) How I define being an introvert (and the common traits that should be separated from introversion) Why it’s so important for ambitious introverts to do things in a sustainable way CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

We’re taking a break from the ‘How I Think About…..’ series this week - instead I’m sharing a behind the scenes round-up of my business this month.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWelcome to the fourth instalment in the ‘How I Think About…..’ series on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast. In this mini series I’m sharing my thoughts in an organic, stream-of-consciousness way, which I hope will help you see that there’s no one right way of doing things! In fact my thoughts on all the topics so far have hugely changed since I first started in business, and it’s these thought processes that I’ve found to be the most helpful in supporting my clients to work out how they want to think about things too. So far I’ve shared my thoughts on mindset, marketing and investing, and this week I’m moving on to social media for business. As an introverted online business owner who helps other introverts in business, social media isn’t my favourite marketing medium - and it’s completely okay if it’s not yours either! In this week’s episode I’ll be sharing: What I think about social media from a personal perspective What I thought about showing my face on social media when I first started my business (and how that changed) Why I now think social media is a gift (and how I changed my mindset around that) Why social media is only a small part of my marketing strategy (and why trends have zero impact on my content marketing plan) Why I don’t make interaction on my posts mean anything about me or my content (and why understanding your audience is key) CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Welcome to the third episode in the How I Think About….. Series. This week I’m sharing my thoughts on investing, specifically related to investments in our businesses. There’s a LOT of educational content online showing us how to do XYZ, but we don’t often see the thought process behind the actions online business owners take. But it’s actually the thought process that gives us the changes and breakthroughs we need, because it’s a reflection of our mindset (and we know how important that is). My hope in the ‘How I Think About…..’ series of episodes is that you can decide how YOU think and feel about a certain topic, whether you resonate with something I’ve said or firmly disagree! In this week’s episode I’ll be sharing: How I approached investing in myself and my business when I first started (and how I’d feel if an investment didn’t work out the way I thought it would) When my view of investing began to change and the impact that had on the next business investment I made How I think about investing in my business now, and how I categorise each type of investment Why a ROI isn’t always immediate but doesn’t necessarily mean it is less valuable (and in fact may be even more so) The energetics behind investing and why they matter so much RESOURCES EMMA-LOUISE MENTIONED The Advance Network My ‘As If’ trip podcast episode The Pathway membership by To be Magnetic CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

This week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast is the second in the ‘How I Think About…..’ series, and today I’m sharing my thoughts on Marketing. I haven’t always had a great relationship with marketing, but I now consider it a gateway to working with clients I love to support. If you’ve ever felt not entirely in love with it either, consider this episode not only permission giving, but also perhaps a new perspective that could help you feel better about it! It’s so important, now more than ever, that we don’t just see business through the lens of a curated feed on social media. There are so many facets to running a business that aren’t always black and white, and being able to hear how other business owners think about things (such marketing) can help us decide where we land on a particular topic. It’s the reason I created the ‘How I Think About….’ series in the first place! In this episode I’ll be sharing: How I used to think about marketing and why that held me back from taking action The best way to find out if a particular marketing method will suit you and your audience How I think about marketing now, and how this has taken the pressure off each individual piece of content I create How I’ve reframed marketing as a business task (and what that actually means in practice) CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Welcome to the first 2023 episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast and the beginning of a special series of episodes called ‘How I Think About….’ So much of my own growth during my 4 years in business has come not from what I’ve done or what someone else has taught me, but the way I’ve changed how I think about something. These How I Think About…. episodes will be an unscripted look at the thought patterns and processes that have had the biggest impact on my business, and I’m delighted to share the very first of the series called How I Think About….Mindset. Mindset can feel like a really loaded subject, but by the end of this episode hopefully you’ll see that YOU can create change within yourself and by yourself. I’ll be sharing: Why the word ‘mindset’ can be a bit misleading What I think about my own mindset practice and the type of mindset I aim to cultivate The differences between a fixed mindset vs. a growth mindset What neural pathways are and how they’re created (and how this impacts you) The reason why creating and repeating a mindset habit is the key to seeing the results The types of mindset exercises I regularly carry out, and why they’re non-negotiable CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Today I’m joined by Jessi Michel Agadoni, who specialises in helping natural sensitives create authentic calm in their bodies - helping them cultivate the grounded, sustainable energy they uniquely need to do powerful work. Jessi’s journey from misunderstood child to owning her own natural and developed sensitivities has led her to supporting her clients to live in a way that honours their trait, rather than work against it. We talk about: Why Jessi decided to use the term ‘natural sensitive’ instead of ‘highly sensitive’ Why natural sensitives need to live a little differently in order to be healthy and successful in business The difference between natural sensitivities and developed sensitivities (and why the distinction matters) The importance of understanding how you experience emotional trauma, so you can heal your developed, physical sensitivity Why you can dial up or down your sensitivity (and why that can be your superpower) Learning how to come back into your body and have the courage to own what you need to honour your natural sensitivity THIS WEEK’S GUEST: Jessi’s book recommendation: The Myth of Normal by Gabor Maté CONNECT WITH JESSI: Website: https://www.merfleurwellness.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/merfleurwellness/ CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThis week’s episode is on a topic that was requested by an audience member around 9 months ago - how to run a business when you have anxiety. As I don’t suffer from anxiety myself I wanted to speak with an entrepreneur who did, so I’m delighted to welcome my guest Katrina Aronson to share her perspective on the subject. Katrina is a business coach who helps her clients run and grow their business in a way that feels authentic to them. After leaving the corporate world and going onto scale a business from 0 to 6 figures in a year (and then on to multiple 6 figures after that), Katrina found herself struggling with overwhelming anxiety. After developing practices to move through how she was feeling, Katrina went on to create her coaching practice in a way that felt enjoyable instead of draining. I think this week’s topic is going to resonate with a lot of you - whether you’re an introvert or extrovert. We talk about: The tipping point when Katrina knew she needed to get help, instead of just putting another band-aid on The steps she took to move through her anxiety and why (literally) going upside down helped Why making money in business is a lot easier when doing so from a place of joy Why experimenting with self-care, mindset practices and outsourcing is key to feeling less overwhelmed (and why waiting until everything feels perfect isn’t at all helpful) Why testing changes for 3 months is the only way you’ll know if they work THIS WEEK’S GUEST: Katrina’s book recommendation: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle CONNECT WITH KATRINA: Website: https://www.katrinaaronson.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katrinaaronson_consulting/ Through the Marketing Lens Podcast: https://www.katrinaaronson.com/podcast CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

If you’re anything like me, you will have worked through A LOT of different time management strategies.

I spoke to Reese Spykerman about taking back your time, and there are some incredible takeaways that I know will help you get more done in a way that feels good to you. Building a schedule that manages our energy is key to doing the repetitive tasks in our business - and we know that consistency is the key to success.

I’ve been practicing manifestation knowingly for 13 years, but had actually been doing it without realising for a lot longer! I 100% believe that your mindset is an extraordinarily powerful factor in your success as a business owner, but some of the ‘high vibes only’ messaging we see online can make you feel like you’re doing it ‘wrong’ (you’re not, by the way). In this episode I’m explaining how you can cultivate a positive mindset without the pressure to feel great 100% of the time. Tune in to listen to: Why manifestation is a lot more nuanced than just being ’high vibe’ Why it’s not actually possible to think positive thoughts 100% of the time (and why you’re not wrong for having a few negative ones!)

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedOne of the many misconceptions about being an introvert is that we’re all quiet and shy, but if you’ve listened to this podcast for a while you’ll KNOW that’s not the case. This week’s guest is proof that even if you do consider yourself as shy, that doesn’t need to be your identity forever! Laurie-Ann Murabito describes herself as a reformed painfully shy girl who accidentally became a professional speaker. One of the things I loved about our conversation is how Laurie-Ann uses stories to connect with her audience, and that’s something we can all implement straight away. In this episode we talk about: How speaking (like anything in business) is a muscle you need to exercise Why being a sensitive introvert means you already have the soft skills needed to speak, either 1:1 or to a larger group Why being more confident as a speaker means you can talk about your business in a more engaging way Why speaking is the key to building relationships, whether that’s on social media, in a small group or on a stage How having a simple process for speaking helps you build confidence, remove emotion and improve each and every time THIS WEEK’S GUEST: Laurie-Ann’s book recommendation: Soundtracks by John Acuff The book Emma-Louise mentioned: Presence by Patsy Rodenburg CONNECT WITH LAURIE-ANN: Website: https://www.SpeakAndStandOut.com LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurie-ann-murabito/ IG: https://www.Instagram.com/laurieann.murabito Podcast: Be In Demand with Laurie-Ann https://podfollow.com/1524969833 CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

In fact she took a decision around the time of the pandemic to make huge changes in her business to both simplify the model and make it more sustainable. In this episode we talk about: How clarifying the reasons why she was in business led to Megan to make a big restructure Why she made the decision to make drastic cuts in her revenue How to create healthy boundaries when working as a coach The difference between revenue and profit (and why what you see online isn’t always what you think it is) Why simplicity in your business model can have an enormous impact on your happiness and profitability Why how much a coach earns shouldn’t be a deciding factor for you working with them THIS WEEK’S GUEST: Megan’s book recommendations: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday CONNECT WITH MEGAN: Website: www.meganyelaney.com The #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast: www.meganyelaney.com/podcast Instagram: www.instagram.com/meganyelaney Take Megan’s free unique coach approach quiz: www.meganyelaney.com/quiz CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

It’s appeared on every single application I've ever had to work with me, and it's one that I use myself a lot, and that is - overwhelm. So I can't think of anyone better to speak to than Life Coach and Author Woody Rini. Woody is a life coach who specialises in getting people the helpful resources they need to live a meaningful and peaceful life. Woody has spent six years exploring how to get help with their personal challenges: Making therapy appointments, hiring life coaches, and reading every self-help book they could find. As a result of their research, Woody learned that the key to a peaceful and meaningful life was simple: Get more help from others! Woody now coaches clients on how to engage their support systems and ask for help when they need it. TOGETHER WE COVER What led Woody to shift careers, start their own life coaching business and write their book Why it can be difficult for highly sensitive people to reach out and ask for help How to manage the overwhelm in your life and business with tangible steps Why support is your key to freeing yourself from the overwhelm you are experiencing Ways you can scale your business without experiencing overwhelm *During the time of recording this episode, Woody used he/him pronouns.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSomething I’ve seen over and over with my clients is a huge resistance to setting goals. There’s often a fear of not hitting them, and therefore ‘failing’ in their eyes. This brings up lots of emotions such as shame, and not being good enough. Which in turn leads to more resistance to set goals! But goals are a really important part of our growth - they focus our minds and keep us on the right track. I’m sharing some thoughts and observations from my 14 years of coaching that you can use to adapt your own goal setting routine. I’m diving into: SMART goals as a basis to start from Separating the belief that not hitting a goal = failure Extrinsic goals, and why the vanity metrics of thousands of followers and subscribers don’t keep us motivated Staying invested in our goals right until the end Scope creep’ and why constantly moving your goalposts is bad for your mindset How to avoid living in the gap between where you are and where you want to be (and focus on how far you’ve come instead) Why noting and celebrating small wins is the fastest way to larger ones CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.theambitiousintrovert.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/introvertnetwork PREMIUM SUPPORT Interested in working with me 1:1?

She eventually got sick of spending money on things that didn’t work and didn’t feel good and decided that she had to find what worked for her. She quickly realized that the thing that makes us innately female is the very thing missing in business that is robbing us of the income and impact we’re so longing to make.

Prioritizing and delegating Why introverts are so good at relationship building How to have a small audience but large business Breaking rules and being shameless in life and business Pleasure when it comes to profit By undoing the conditioning that says we have to work harder, crush our competition, used fear based marketing, and sacrifice until we make it (aka delay pleasure until we hit our goals) Julia’s pleasure based business took off and she now teaches others how to have the same.
