We're so excited about this episode, because we want every kid who may be extroverted or introverted to know that their gifts are amazing and that their limitations are amazing too! We're going to talk about 3 things parents of extroverted and introverted girls need to know and 3 things parents of extroverted and introverted boys need to know. There's a great book that we both love, The Hidden Gifts of the Introverted Child, by Marti Olsen Laney. Listen to this description of the differences, introverts generally prefer stimulation in small manageable doses whereas extroverts seek lots of action and excitement. An introvert may pursue topics in depth, while an extrovert may be more oriented toward breadth. An introvert may need time to process his/her emotions before responding. An extrovert is more likely to react in the moment. We've seen a lot of evidence of this being true. Another book we love, called Quiet, which also revolutionized my perspective on it, and I recommend it to parents of introverts all the time.   . . . . . .  ⁠Owen Learns He Has What it Takes: A Lesson in Resilience⁠ ⁠Lucy Learns to Be Brave: A Lesson in Courage⁠⁠ More Links: Grab your tickets today for the⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Raising Capable Kids Conference⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with David Thomas, Sissy Goff and special guests!

To we introverts, small talk can feel pointless at best and like a trap at worst. Yet what if we have it all wrong. Small talk is not the enemy of meaningful conversation, but the currency of connection and the gateway to the deeper exchanges we long for. In this episode I shine a light on why it matters, why avoiding it can leave us misunderstood and sidelined, and how we can finally handle it on our own terms. I suggest we think of small talk not as something to avoid at all costs, but as a bridge or portal to richer conversations. Once you cross it with intention you will discover trust, influence and connection waiting on the other side. This is not about becoming a chatterbox, it is about owning our presence authentically and making small talk work for us.   ** Key Points **   Small talk reframed Gateway to depth Connection as currency     #SmallTalk #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.  

"Authenticity isn't something you stay in, it's something you show up with."In this episode, we talked about why success starts with self-trust, and how aligning who we are with how we show up, helps our business to become an extension of our purpose, in particular:

Episode 2723: Danielle Dowling highlights how craving alone time in a relationship doesn't mean something is wrong, it can actually be a sign of balance and self-care. She shares five subtle indicators that space might be needed, from bickering over small things to losing touch with your passions, and encourages open communication to keep individuality and connection thriving.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they spotlight three major media stories—from CBS changing its interview editing policy, to reporters downplaying violent crime for political reasons, to a bizarre demand from a disgraced Boston politician.First, they welcome a new CBS News practice to allow interviews to air unedited on Face the Nation after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ripped CBS for gutting her answers in a recent appearance. Jim and Greg also note that mainstream media editing controversies always seem to benefit the left.Next, they scold Marc Caputo of Axios for fretting about "MAGA influencers drawing repeated attention  to violent attacks to elevate the issue of urban crime — and accuse mainstream media of under-covering shocking cases." It's all connected to the mainstream media's silence over the grisly, unnecessary murder of a female Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte by a guy who had been arrested many times for violent crimes. Is the biggest problem calling attention to the murder...or is it maybe the murder itself?Finally, Jim and Greg are stunned by a former member of the Boston City Council who was sentenced to prison for fraud. It's not even the crimes that surprise them but the member's insistence that media stop talking about her and her crimes because she is an introvert and it hurts her feelings.Please visit our great sponsors:Support your health with Dose Daily.  Save 25% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. Find the right support that's right for you with BetterHelp.

SEASON: 5 EPISODE: 29Episode Overview: Welcome back to the Becoming Preferred podcast. The podcast that helps business professionals and entrepreneurs go from being just another option to being the emotional favorite. Today we're addressing a topic that so many of us navigate daily: the power of quiet leadership. The business world often celebrates the loudest voice in the room, but what if the most powerful leaders are actually the ones who are thinking, listening, and observing?Our guest today is a living testament to this idea. With over two decades as a successful product and technology executive, he's led teams and scaled startups, but he's here today as the voice of the quiet thinker. He's the host of the Powerful Introvert podcast and newsletter, and he's on a mission to help introverted professionals and leaders embrace their natural strengths and thrive on their own terms. Please join me for my conversation with Greg Weinger.Guest Bio: What if the best leaders weren't the loudest voices in the room?Greg Weinger has spent over 20 years proving that introverts and unconventional thinkers can thrive in leadership. A seasoned product and technology executive, he has helped scale startups 10X to $70M+ in revenue, leading teams that build market-leading digital products and drive business growth. A Stanford graduate, he studied English literature, creative writing, and software engineering—giving him a unique ability to blend technical expertise, storytelling, and strategic thinking to make complex ideas accessible and actionable.Greg is the author and host of Powerful Introvert, a Substack publication and podcast dedicated to helping introverts unlock their leadership potential. A sought-after speaker, he challenges outdated leadership norms and explores how organizations can create inclusive leadership structures that embrace diverse working styles.He is also deeply interested in the intersection of technology and personal wellness, exploring how wearable biometrics and machine learning can optimize meditation, mindfulness, exercise, and sleep to help leaders operate at their best. His mission is to redefine leadership by prioritizing self-awareness, leveraging introverts' strengths, and creating space for different leadership styles to thrive.Greg speaks with depth, clarity, and a touch of irreverence, delivering insights that challenge assumptions, spark new ways of thinking, and provide practical takeaways for better leadership and performance.Greg lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife of 25 years, their two cats, and their golden retriever, Mervin. He is a proud father of two college-aged children.Insight Gold Timestamps:02:11 Introverts are looking inwardly first02:21 Extroverts, the bias is outward first, they're acting, they're emoting04:39 They talk about ambiverts07:02 The more prepared introverts are, the generally the better off they are going into a situation08:23 So, what are the most damaging misconceptions about introverted leaders09:04 Just because they're quiet doesn't mean that they don't have anything to say12:58 Why do we have such a bias towards the extroverted leader?14:47 There are absolutely ways to do this in a way that are authentic to you16:32 My personal practice, I wake up earlier and I am meditating for 40 minutes to an hour20:05 How should we approach to make that introvert feel comfortable or that extrovert feel comfortable?21:17 Introverts like authenticity23:25 What's your advice for turning self-doubt into a source of confidence and credibility?25:29 When you're vulnerable, you're speaking your truth, that's authentic27:10 The phrase is: Let the puppy tire itself out28:18 It's a constant practice to be as present as we...

Inspired by Jay ShettyWe can create a great relationship when we ask the right questions. Forget the fantasy of finding a “perfect partner.” A relationship's quality depends on what we make of it.When dating, we should enjoy ourselves and ask meaningful questions to understand what the other person wants.0. Why Ask the Scary Questions?If you're afraid to ask hard questions, deep down you might already know the answer. Avoiding the truth only delays the pain — and it will always backfire.We often live in lies, and that keeps us from moving forward.A healthy relationship is not only about chemistry — it's about clarity.If you want real connection, you need real conversations.People who hide from uncomfortable topics often face a bigger crash when the truth comes out. In my experience, speaking honestly reveals true friends, and those who don't belong will leave — saving time and energy.If you change yourself just to fit in with people who aren't right for you, it isolates you, damages your well-being, and can lead to deep despair. Rejection is scary, but pretending is worse.1. What Does a Healthy Relationship Look Like for You?A healthy relationship:Gives you space to grow (unhealthy: forces you to shrink to fit)Holds you through hard times (unhealthy: makes you feel like a burden)Brings you peace (unhealthy: keeps you addicted to chaos)Challenges you with kindness (unhealthy: criticizes you into silence)Helps you trust your voice (unhealthy: makes you doubt it)Reminds you of your worth (unhealthy: makes you fight to prove it)Ask: What are your terms and conditions for a healthy relationship?Even better, explore their family relationship patterns — these often shape how they love.2. What Does Commitment Mean for You?Wishful thinking doesn't create a healthy relationship. Commitment does.Commitment is:Showing up on boring daysTalking things out instead of running awayFeeling safe, even when you disagreeAccepting differences without disrespectKnowing you're valued, even on your worst dayRespecting each other's space while staying connectedChoosing each other again and again, not just when it's easyThis conversation isn't about forcing commitment immediately — it's about understanding values before a crisis.3. How Do You Handle Conflict?Do you:A. Take time to process? (Hiding)B. Want to solve it immediately? (Venting)C. Explode emotionally? (Exploding)Healthy couples address conflicts early and calmly — not through avoidance, disrespect, or fighting.Ask: What are your long-term intentions? Are we going in the same direction?4. What Does Emotional Availability Mean to You?Are you emotionally open and vulnerable with your partner? Can they handle it?Emotionally available people share and respect emotions.Emotionally unavailable people hide feelings, punish honesty, or block connection.If your partner can't sit with your emotions, the relationship's depth will be limited.5. How Do You Recharge — Alone or With People?Introverts often recharge alone.Extroverts recharge through social interaction.Knowing this prevents misunderstandings when one person needs space and the other wants connection.Ask: What helps you during stress — space, talking, or distraction?6. What Does Being Ready for a Relationship Mean to You?Readiness often means:Emotional healingFinancial stabilityClarity on what you wantYou can't force a casual relationship into a committed one if the other person doesn't want it.7. What Does Independence Look Like in a Relationship?Some feel safe with space, others with closeness.Independence is about boundaries — and boundaries build security, not distance.8. What Are You Still Healing From?Deep, healthy relationships require emotional work and often therapy. Without it, many people can't truly be emotionally available.Final ThoughtIf you want a lasting, meaningful relationship, you must:Ask real questions earlyKeep your heart openWork through your own traumasPractice honesty, even when uncomfortableWithout this, the relationship will stay on the surface — and surface connections break easily in hard times.My Video:  How to Get the Perfect Relationship? https://youtu.be/K9WIi04UiQMMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-to-Get-the-Perfect-Relationship.mp3

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 406 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak Guest: Dr. Brian Harris DESCRIPTION In this conversation, Dr. Brian Harris joins us to discuss the art of enrollment in dentistry, emphasizing the importance of pre-appointment preparation, patient engagement, and effective communication. They explore the role of introverts in patient interactions, share personal stories of learning from mistakes, and highlight the significance of follow-up and transparency in building trust with patients. The discussion also covers strategies for handling financial conversations, the value of offering discounts, and the innovative approach of the Smile Test Drive to enhance patient experience. TAKEAWAYS Pre-appointment preparation is crucial for in-office success. Creating a connection with patients is more important than perfecting a script. Introverts can excel in patient engagement by focusing on genuine communication. Learning from mistakes is essential for growth in practice. Follow-up communication can help re-engage patients who didn't enroll. Discounts should be framed as value-added offers, not devaluations of service. Transparency in treatment options builds trust with patients. The Smile Test Drive is an effective tool for patient engagement. Clarity in treatment plans helps patients make informed decisions. Gamifying patient engagement can create healthy competition among staff.

How often do we let our past dictate the shape of our future? Too Often! We introverts replay old wounds and slip into comparison, rejection or shame until we start to believe they define us. In this episode I invite you to loosen the grip of yesterday and step into a future that reflects your real value and potential. We look at how to heal rejection, own our worth, and stop pretending to be someone we are not. I share affirmations that remind us we are good enough right now and unpack the mindset shifts that allow us to move forward with intention. Your past may have written the prologue but the pen for the next chapter is in your hand. The real question is will you carry the weight of old patterns or choose to flourish on your own terms?   ** Key Points ** Heal rejection wisely Own your value Write your next chapter     #FlourishBeyondThePast #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

Story Transcript:Sv: Solen sken varmt över Stockholm denna sommareftermiddag.En: The sun shone warmly over Stockholm this summer afternoon.Sv: Den stora familjevillan var full av människor och skratt.En: The large family villa was full of people and laughter.Sv: Fönstren stod öppna och en lätt bris svepte in, fyllde rummen med doften av sommar och nyklippt gräs.En: The windows were open, and a light breeze swept in, filling the rooms with the scent of summer and freshly cut grass.Sv: I vardagsrummet samlades släkten kring stora bord fyllda med mat.En: In the living room, the family gathered around large tables filled with food.Sv: Bland sorlet satt Nils, en tyst besökare i en värld av pratglada släktingar.En: Among the chatter sat Nils, a quiet visitor in a world of talkative relatives.Sv: Han betraktade sin familj, fascinerad men något osäker.En: He observed his family, fascinated but somewhat uncertain.Sv: Hans kusiner, Karin och Jonas, diskuterade livligt senaste nyheterna.En: His cousins, Karin and Jonas, were lively discussing the latest news.Sv: Skratten ekade mellan väggarna medan samtalen flödade från ett ämne till ett annat.En: Laughter echoed between the walls as conversations flowed from one topic to another.Sv: Nils kände sig en smula bortkommen.En: Nils felt a bit lost.Sv: Nils hade alltid varit introspektiv, en betraktare snarare än deltagare.En: Nils had always been introspective, an observer rather than a participant.Sv: Han önskade inget annat än att känna sig delaktig, att verkligen uppleva att han hörde hemma bland sina söner och döttrar, kusiner och mostrar.En: He wished for nothing more than to feel involved, to truly experience belonging among his sons and daughters, cousins, and aunts.Sv: Men orden fastnade ofta i hans strupe, fångade av en blyghet han inte kunde övervinna.En: But words often got stuck in his throat, caught by a shyness he couldn't overcome.Sv: Med ett djupt andetag bestämde sig Nils för att våga någonting nytt denna gång.En: With a deep breath, Nils decided to try something new this time.Sv: Han ville dela en del av sig själv.En: He wanted to share a part of himself.Sv: När samtalen till slut tystnade något, tog han ett modigt steg fram.En: When the conversations eventually quieted a bit, he took a brave step forward.Sv: "Jag har ett minne att dela", sa han med mild röst, hans händer lite fuktiga av nervositet.En: "I have a memory to share," he said with a gentle voice, his hands a little damp with nervousness.Sv: Alla vände sig mot honom, förväntansfulla ögon och vänliga ansikten.En: Everyone turned to him, expectant eyes and friendly faces.Sv: Han berättade om sommardagar när han var barn, tiden han tillbringade med farfar som lärde honom att fiska vid den gamla bryggan.En: He told about summer days when he was a child, the time he spent with his grandfather who taught him to fish at the old dock.Sv: Hur han föll i vattnet den gången men ändå skrattade, lycklig och fri.En: How he fell into the water that time but laughed anyway, happy and free.Sv: Han såg på sina släktingar medan han pratade, och märkde att tysta leenden dök upp på deras läppar.En: He looked at his relatives as he spoke and noticed that silent smiles appeared on their lips.Sv: När han var klar, möttes han av en värme han tidigare inte känt.En: When he was finished, he was met with a warmth he hadn't felt before.Sv: Mjuka ord av uppskattning omgav honom.En: Soft words of appreciation surrounded him.Sv: "Tack för att du delade, Nils," sa Karin med ett leende.En: "Thank you for sharing, Nils," said Karin with a smile.Sv: Jonas nickade instämmande och tillade, "Det var en härlig berättelse."En: Jonas nodded in agreement and added, "That was a lovely story."Sv: Plötsligt kände sig Nils mindre ensam, mindre blyg.En: Suddenly, Nils felt less alone, less shy.Sv: Han insåg att hans familj uppskattade honom precis som han var.En: He realized that his family appreciated him just as he was.Sv: En ny känsla av samhörighet blommade inom honom.En: A new sense of belonging blossomed within him.Sv: Där, i det gamla familjhemmet, fylldes han av en tacksamhet.En: There, in the old family home, he was filled with a gratitude.Sv: Han visste nu att han fick plats, inte trots sina sidor utan på grund av dem.En: He now knew that he had a place, not in spite of his traits but because of them.Sv: När solen började sjunka sakta och ljuset blev mjukare, kände Nils sig lycklig.En: As the sun began to slowly set and the light grew softer, Nils felt happy.Sv: Samtal flödade vidare, men nu med honom mitt i allt.En: Conversations continued to flow, but now with him in the midst of it all.Sv: Han var en i mängden och älskade det.En: He was one of the crowd and loved it.Sv: Kvällen bars av värme och ljusa röster, en skön sommar i Stockholm.En: The evening carried on with warmth and light voices, a beautiful summer in Stockholm.

As a lifelong, dyed in the wool, comic book enthusiast, it behooves me with the recent release of the new James Gunn Superman movie to share this short Patreon segment pulled from our recent Greensburg Tornado Disaster of 2007 episode. Back in 1938, to his creators, Kansas represented the humble origins and strong ethics we associate with the Superman we know today. They believed that no other State would have produced a character that more strongly embodying the traditional values of truth, justice, and the American way. But that was 1938, and we loved and welcomed him, and a lot has changed since then. In this short bonus piece, we explore the thought exercise: what would happen if his rocket approached Earth In 2025. It's way more likely, almost crucially logical that we might view him as a possible alien-combatant from the Planet Krypton who entered the United States illegally. We'll explore in about three minutes time. If you've ever been curious about our Patreon, I made a quick video walking through the benefits, your contribution, and a quick scroll through they layout and experience to keep you from being overwhelmed. It's a short pitch, but it's heart felt.Welcome to the Funeral Kazoo Patreon: Hope you Survive the ExperienceI also made a post directed at people who may be intimidated by some expectation that they have to be some tap dancing extrovert to participate.

How often have we introverts bent ourselves out of shape trying to fit a version of success that was never meant for us? It is time to call 'poppycock' on the damaging practice of pretzelising and remind ourselves that our quirks are not flaws to hide but the raw material of our growth. I share a slice of my own rebellious journey and why generic development paths only ever short-change us. This is about loosening the shackles, dropping the template, and making our lives our own. Our uniqueness is not a problem to solve. It is the very thing that will set us free.   ** Key Points ** Stop the pretzel act Quirks fuel growth Break the cookie-cutter template   #OwnYourIntrovertUniqueness t #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.  

Networking for Introverts Who'd Rather Get a Root Canal I Greg Roche Networking advice was built for extroverts. Go to events. Make small talk. Collect business cards. For introverts, it feels like punishment. Exhausting. Fake. Pointless. Greg Roche—known as The Introverted Networker—disagrees. He's living proof you can grow a powerful network without awkward icebreakers, or pretending to be someone you're not. In this conversation, we expose the myths keeping executives stuck—and the truths that set introverts free: Why “I don't have time to network” is a myth How 15 minutes a day beats every networking event How to be “easy to help” so people actually follow through The mic drop: The more connected we get through technology, the less connected we are as humans—because we've outsourced our humanness to tech Plus, a simple, immediate action to restart your network today This isn't about becoming someone you're not. It's about using what makes you different to your advantage—and reclaiming the kind of human connection technology will never replace. Whether you're an introvert who dreads networking—or an extrovert who's been doing it wrong—you'll walk away with a playbook that actually works.

Click here now to access the tool > ‍ How to Lead with Quiet Confidence and Create Partnerships that Thrive Does it sometimes feel as though the workplace, or business world, was designed for the loudest voices, not for you? In this episode of The Brilliant Business Book Festival, I'm joined by Jennifer Kahnweiler, author of The Introverted Leader (3rd Edition): Building on Your Quiet Strength, and several other books that change the business game. Her work shines a light on what so many of us have felt: introverts aren't less capable, they simply lead differently. And when they're allowed to do so, the results can be extraordinary. What follows isn't just a recap of our conversation. It's a deeper dive into why introversion is a leadership advantage, how introverts and extroverts can form “genius opposites” partnerships, and how practical tools like delegation and preparation can transform how we show up at work. You'll learn how understanding your natural wiring can help you prepare, communicate, and collaborate more powerfully, without pretending to be someone you're not. If you've ever felt overlooked in meetings, frustrated by fast-paced demands, or unsure how to delegate without losing your standards, this conversation will give you tools, strategies, and confidence to lead on your own terms. ‍ ‍ Prefer to WATCH instead of read? Visit: https://www.youtube.com/@melittacampbell/podcasts ‍ ‍ “Quiet leaders aren't less capable — they're often more prepared, more observant and more trusted.” - Jennifer Kahnweiler ‍ Why Introversion is a Leadership Strength For too long, introversion has been cast as something to overcome. “Speak up more.” “Be more confident.” “Network like extroverts.” ‍ But Jennifer reminds us: introversion isn't a flaw. It's a foundation. Introverted leaders thrive because they bring qualities that today's organisations desperately need: ‍ Preparation: the ability to walk into a room having thought through angles, questions, and next steps. Deep listening: a skill that makes colleagues and clients feel truly heard. Meaningful connection: not surface-level networking, but genuine one-to-one or small group relationships that last. Think of it like gardening. Extroverts may scatter seeds widely, covering ground quickly. Introverts plant fewer seeds, but tend and water them with patience … leading to stronger, longer-lasting growth. ‍ When introverts stop trying to keep up with the loudest voices and instead honour their natural wiring, leadership begins to feel more natural, more energising, and more effective. ‍ Making the Most of “Genius Opposites” One of Jennifer's most fascinating frameworks is what she calls “genius opposites”: introverted–extrovert partnerships that, when nurtured properly, create exponential results. Through her research, she developed the ABCDE model for making these partnerships thrive: A – Accept the Alien: stop trying to change your partner; embrace their difference. B – Bring on the Battles: don't avoid conflict, air it out early before resentment builds. C – Cast the Character: put people in roles where their strengths shine (the extrovert waving people down at a trade show; the introvert taking them deeper once they're at the booth). D – Destroy the Dislike: you don't have to be best friends, but you do need mutual respect, and a little humour goes a long way. E – Each Can't Offer Everything: clients and colleagues benefit when both voices are present; difference leads to richer solutions. The metaphor here is a pair of rowers in a boat. If both row on the same side, you go in circles. But when you learn to pull in sync from opposite sides, you glide forward faster and straighter than you ever could alone. ‍ “The right introvert–extrovert partnership doesn't add up, it multiplies.” - Jennifer Kahnweiler ‍ Speaking Up — Without Being Loud One of the biggest frustrations introverts share is being overlooked in meetings. You pause to reflect before speaking, and suddenly someone else has jumped in. Silence gets misread as disinterest. But Jennifer offers strategies that allow introverts to be heard without forcing themselves to “perform”: Prepare key points ahead of time so you can contribute with clarity. Ask for reflection time (“I'd like to think about this and come back with a response tomorrow”). Follow up in writing with a synthesis of ideas, often more valuable than what's said in the room. Brené Brown has even built reflection breaks into her team's meetings, so introverts (including herself) have space to process ideas before decisions are made. A simple but profound reminder that influence doesn't always happen in the room; it happens in the follow-up too. ‍ Delegation Without the Guilt Many introverts struggle with delegation — worried that tasks won't be done to their standard, or that they'll burden others. But holding on to everything creates bottlenecks, exhaustion and stalled growth. Jennifer reframes delegation as a gift, not a burden. By handing over tasks: You free space for your strategic thinking, the work only you can do. You give others the opportunity to learn and grow. You prevent burnout, ensuring you show up as your best self. Think of delegation like passing a torch in a relay race. You're not abandoning the run; you're ensuring the team as a whole keeps moving forward faster. ‍ The Quiet Confidence Advantage If you take only one thing from Jennifer's research and our conversation, let it be this: Introversion is not just “enough” — it's an advantage. By honouring your natural strengths, partnering wisely with complementary styles, and creating environments where quieter voices are respected, you don't just survive in leadership — you thrive. And perhaps the bigger invitation is this: what if we stopped assuming leadership must look a certain way, and instead embraced the full spectrum of how people naturally show up? The result wouldn't just be fairer, it would be far more effective. ‍ Final Thought to Reflect On?

If your life feels like something you need to escape from or recover from every weekend, my friend, that is not living. That is surviving. And you are here for far more than that. This episode calls out the ways we introverts hand over our choices to others and play small while convincing ourselves it is safer that way. It is my rallying cry for you to grab life with both hands, to stretch beyond the timid version of yourself, and to design a rhythm that feels like home. No more rationing your joy. No more invisibility. It is your life. Live it your way.   ** Key Points ** Own every decision Seize your joy Refuse to shrink   #UnapologeticallyIntrovert #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   Resources Download the 'Becoming Braver Starter Kit' at https://frustratedtoflourishing.com/cbfmci  Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.
