Podcasts about introverts

Wait, who said introverts can't speak in public? That tired myth has silenced too many powerful voices for too long. This episode calls time on the idea that presence is pure performance. Public speaking isn't about being loud, comedic or extraverted. It is about being heard with impact. Whether you're leading a meeting, recording a podcast, or speaking truth in a room that prefers noise, your voice has weight. It is time to claim the mic, not for applause, but because what you have to say matters.   ** Key Points ** Public speaking is a learned skill Your voice is an act of personal agency Quiet, thoughtful communication is leadership   #PublicSpeakingForIntroverts #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Crissy Conner—visibility strategist and founder of The Visible CEO—to unpack the real CEO mindset. From grounding rituals to emotional intelligence, Crissy shares how introverts can lead, show up intentionally, and scale their businesses without burning out. She breaks down her 5-part daily CEO State and explores the intersection of mindset, strategy, and showing up powerfully online. Whether you're building in silence or center stage, this episode is your invitation to lead with conviction and self-trust. About the Guest:Crissy Conner is a visibility strategist, certified coach, and founder of The Visible CEO. Known for doing 100 live videos in a month, she empowers entrepreneurs—especially introverted women—to become unforgettable by leading with intention, self-leadership, and authentic visibility. Crissy is passionate about helping others move past fear and show up in ways that are sustainable and impactful.   Key Takeaways: The CEO State is a daily practice grounded in movement, mindset, focus, expansion, and embodiment. Introverts can lead with power by aligning visibility with purpose—not noise. Emotional intelligence is a leadership superpower. Triggers are teachers. True visibility is about being seen and heard so others can feel seen and heard too. Strategy + mindset = sustainable success. One without the other leads to stagnation. Bold action doesn't require scale—it requires stretch.   Connect with Crissy Conner: Website: www.thevisibleceo.com Social Media: @CrissyConner on all platforms   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

This episode is sponsored by: Here's the hard truth I learned in this conversation: You can spend thousands on Facebook ads, perfect your email sequences, and create the most polished marketing campaigns... but if you're not building rich relationships, you're fighting an uphill battle that's only getting steeper.   In this episode, I sit down with publicity strategist and author Selena Soo to dive deep into her new book "Rich Relationships" - and what she reveals will completely shift how you think about growing your business.   As a fellow introvert, I've always struggled with the idea of "networking." The thought of working a room or making small talk at conferences made my skin crawl. But Selena showed me something game-changing: You don't need to be an extrovert to build a million-dollar network. You just need to be intentional.   Why This Episode Will Transform Your Business We're living in what Selena calls a "trust recession." People are bombarded with ads, skeptical of marketing messages, and increasingly buying from their communities rather than responding to traditional marketing. The entrepreneurs who thrive in this new landscape aren't the ones with the biggest ad budgets - they're the ones with the richest relationships.   I've seen this firsthand. When I look back at my entire career - from taking a company public in the late '90s to my current work with industry leaders like Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi, and Russell Brunson - every major breakthrough came through relationships, not marketing campaigns.   What You'll Discover The 3 Types of Givers (And Why Most Entrepreneurs Are Doing It Wrong) The "Indiscriminate Giver" trap that leads to burnout and resentment How "Transactional Givers" actually block abundance The "Rich Giver" approach that creates win-win relationships   The 6 Circles of Connection Framework This is Selena's signature system for managing your network without overwhelm: Circle 1: Your innermost circle (1-3 people doing life with you) Circle 2: Treasured connections (your soul family) Circle 3: Active network (people you'd invite to the party) Circle 4: Distant connections (arm's length relationships) Circle 5: Disconnected connections (people you keep at distance) Circle 6: Unknown individuals   The Top 40 Strategy 20 rich relationships to nurture and prioritize 20 new relationships to develop based on your goals How to avoid the "one is the most dangerous number" trap   Standout Moments From Our Conversation "Rich relationships are the world's highest form of currency. There's no amount of money you can pay for that trust." - Selena Soo "Everything that has pushed me forward in my businesses has been the relationships that I've had. You cannot buy that trust. You have to build the relationships and the relationship has to come first." - Sean Osborn "One rich relationship is more powerful than a hundred casual connections." - Selena Soo "People are now buying from their communities, from their tribes. It's no longer business to consumer - it's consumer to consumer, tribe to tribe." - Sean Osborn Key Takeaways ✅ Rich relationships have 3 characteristics: They bring financial abundance (directly or indirectly), align with your biggest goals, and inspire you to become your best self   ✅ The relationship-first approach: Stop leading with transactions. Build trust through conversations - Level 1 (getting to know each other), Level 2 (nurturing and building trust), Level 3 (solid foundation for collaboration)   ✅ Your network is your net worth: There are places you can only reach through rich relationships. No amount of mass marketing can replace a trusted referral   ✅ The email list revelation: My most effective sales don't come from ads anymore - they come from my communities. Think of your list as a savings account where you must make deposits (value) before withdrawals (asks)   ✅ Introverts have superpowers: You don't need to be the center of attention. Mission-driven leaders who put themselves out there for a bigger purpose are often the most influential   ✅ The vulnerability factor: The fastest way to build relationships is to show genuine interest in others, support their goals, and be open to receiving support yourself   Why This Matters More Than Ever As AI becomes more prevalent and marketing becomes increasingly automated, the human connection becomes even more valuable. Selena and I both believe that businesses without rich relationships won't survive in the coming years.   The entrepreneurs winning today aren't just great marketers - they're great relationship builders. They understand that in a world of infinite content and constant noise, trust and personal connection are the ultimate differentiators.   Resources Mentioned Selena's New Book: "Rich Relationships" (Available for pre-order on Amazon) Free Resources: Get the first 4 chapters free + 25 Rich Relationship Scripts at richrelationshipsbook.com/thinkingbig Myers-Briggs Assessment: Referenced as a tool for understanding your personality type (Selena is an INFJ - same as Gandhi and Mother Teresa)   Connect with Selena Soo Website: https://www.selenasoo.com/   If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear about it. Share your biggest takeaway on social media and tag me - I read every single message. And if you know another entrepreneur who's struggling with networking or feeling like their marketing isn't working, share this episode with them. Sometimes one conversation can change everything.   Remember: You don't need to be the most extroverted person in the room. You just need to be the most intentional about the relationships you build.   Keep thinking big, Sean

In a world obsessed with faster, louder, shinier, this is your reminder that you are not behind. You ar unfolding at just the right rhythm for you.

Most books and resources devoted to professional development focus on strategies that faculty can use to create a positive learning environment for our students, but generally assume that everything will work as expected.

She is a historian and the editor of Teaching History: A Journal of Methods. Jessamyn has published extensively in scholarly publications in the areas of history, pedagogy, and cultural studies.

EPISODE 63: Do you have trouble pitching? Are you an introvert and/or plagued by social anxiety when you have to present your ideas in front of people? You are NOT alone. Many of us became writers because we like to be alone in dark (but like, cozy) caves with our typewriters and iced coffees, not surrounded by smart, intimidating other writers, all waiting for storytelling gold to pour from our mouths. But guess what? If you're a writer -- especially a TV writer -- you're gonna have to pitch, babe. This episode is full of tips and tricks for how to improve your pitching skills, build confidence, and have fun collaborating with your creative colleagues.

Lauren and Sydney dive deep into the sometimes cringey, always interesting world of networking—especially for introverts. The conversation kicks off with hilarious banter about dreaded networking mixers, awkward icebreakers, and the classic name-tag dilemma (should fashion and function ever clash?). Lauren and Sydney, representing the extrovert-introvert spectrum themselves, swap personal stories about their own networking wins, fails, and full-blown party meltdowns. From planning the "perfect" networking event to the anxiety of making the first move, they get real about what works (and what absolutely doesn't) for connecting with others. Whether you're a social butterfly or the person hiding by the guacamole, this episode is packed with practical tips, heartwarming anecdotes, and plenty of laughs—proving that anyone can build their network, one authentic interaction at a time.00:00 Introvert-Extrovert Networking Challenges03:26 "Introvert's Party Observations"07:51 "Walking Sparks Creativity"11:43 Networking Progression Steps13:04 "Light-Hearted Questions Requested"17:14 Building Valuable Consulting Connections19:17 "Dance & Pilates Connection"23:05 Networking Mishap: Reply-All Blunder25:43 "Choosing Home Isn't Neutral" This is a public episode.

Some people are joiners, and some people feel like outsiders their whole lives. We grow up believing that belonging is everything, that happiness depends on finding our people, our tribe, our place in the crowd. But not fitting in is not a flaw says psychiatrist Dr Rami Kaminski. For 40 years he's seen patients who come to him yearning to be like other people, chasing a feeling at odds with their individuality. Dr Kaminksi says it can be a strength to embrace independent thinking and to stand a bit outside of the circle instead of always joining in. His new book is called The Gift of Not Belonging: How Outsiders Thrive in a World of Joiners. Take the quiz here

“The purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.” - Proverbs 20:5Today, we're kicking off a new series on temperaments, how our God-given wiring shapes the way we communicate, relate to others, and make financial decisions. Kathleen Edelman and Traci Shepherd join us to explore the Red temperament and how it influences our financial decisions.Kathleen Edelman is the author of I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication. She is certified in Biblical Studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over 30 years coaching clients in the art of effective communication.Traci Shepherd is our Red Temperament representative for this episode. What Are the Four Temperaments?For those who are new to the concept of the four temperaments, here is a helpful summary:Yellow (Sanguine): Speaks the language of people and fun – an extroverted, people-oriented personality.Red (Choleric): Speaks the language of power and control – an extroverted, task-oriented personality.Blue (Melancholic): Speaks the language of perfection and order – an introverted, task-oriented personality.Green (Phlegmatic): Speaks the language of calm and harmony – an introverted, people-oriented personality.Each temperament influences how we speak, listen, behave, and manage our finances.The Red Temperament: Driven and DecisiveReds are typically goal-oriented, confident, and solution-focused. They don't just talk about getting things done; they make it happen. In relationships, this drive often leads them to step in and take over when others hesitate. But that same strength can become a weakness if it turns into controlling behavior rather than collaborative leadership.The Red temperament often feels the need to fix things. This framework helps them see the strength behind that impulse and offers tools to balance their drive with empathy.Red Temperament and Money: It's All About the PlanReds tend to view money as a means to accomplish their goals. They prefer clarity, efficiency, and structure. But they may clash with other temperaments—for instance, a Yellow, who values fun, spontaneity, and experiences.Rather than labeling other spending styles as wrong, having this awareness can enable more honest conversations, especially in relational tensions within areas like finances. Strength with Compassion: Communication Tips for RedsReds bring immense value to financial decision-making. Their clarity of vision and drive for results help families and teams move forward. Reds are bullet-point, bottom-line thinkers, but that doesn't mean they've ignored the details. They're often 10 steps ahead.To foster healthier communication, Kathleen encourages Reds to:Pause before respondingAsk questions with curiosity (“What do you think?” or “How do you feel about this?”)Listen to understand, not just to replyThese simple shifts can transform conflict into connection.The Emotional Needs of a RedReds have core emotional needs that must be honored, especially in financial conversations:Loyalty—Knowing others have their back.Sense of Control—Either having control or trusting someone else is in control.Appreciation—Being valued for their strengths.Credit for Work—Recognition for their contributions.When these needs go unmet, Reds can respond with frustration or harshness. However, when those needs are met, they become dynamic and inspiring leaders.What to Remember if You or Someone You Love is a RedRemember that your wiring is a gift. But don't rush ahead. Bring others with you. It's not about controlling; it's about being prepared and feeling safe.And for those in a relationship with a Red? Remember, they're not trying to be harsh. They just want to know the plan.Want More?Reds are uniquely wired to be visionaries. When they lead with both confidence and compassion, transformation happens in conversations, relationships, and financial decisions.As we continue this series on temperaments and money, we'll explore how each personality type contributes to God-honoring stewardship. When every voice is heard, and every strength is valued, we grow not just in wisdom but in unity.Read Kathleen's full article on how the four temperaments shape our financial decisions in the latest edition of Faithful Steward.

Ever 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.

Milk vs. Solid Food ReCreate Church | David Boudreaux ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY Are you still drinking spiritual milk when God is calling you to solid food? In this challenging message, David Boudreaux explores what it means to mature in our faith journey. Through Hebrews 5:9-14, discover why some believers remain "dull of hearing" and how we can graduate from basic spiritual principles to deeper understanding and application. Learn the difference between head knowledge and heart transformation, and why God desires every believer to move from being fed to becoming feeders of others. Core Message: God wants us to graduate from spiritual milk to solid food - from being babes in Christ to mature disciples who can teach others. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED The Problem of Dull Hearing - Why the writer of Hebrews couldn't share deeper truths - Understanding "dull of hearing" as spiritual laziness, not physical impairment - How believers can become sluggish in their spiritual walk The Need for Spiritual Milk - Why new believers need foundational truths (1 Peter 2:1-3) - The importance of "first principles" in faith development - How spiritual milk provides necessary foundation for growth The Call to Spiritual Maturity - Moving from being taught to becoming teachers - The danger of remaining perpetually immature - Why some need to relearn basic principles they've already heard Head Knowledge vs. Heart Transformation - The difference between knowing facts and living truth - How information without application leads to spiritual ineffectiveness - Moving from "big head" syndrome to heart change Discerning Good from Evil - How mature believers develop spiritual discernment - The role of practice and habit in spiritual growth - Exercising our spiritual senses through consistent application False Doctrine and Spiritual Immaturity - Why immature believers are vulnerable to false teaching - The example of Jesus dying "once for all" vs. repeated sacrifice - How solid food equips us to recognize error The Journey from Introvert to Community - Personal testimony of reluctant fellowship - How God challenges our comfort zones for spiritual growth - The importance of community in maturation process ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I learn." "If it never gets from our head to our heart, we haven't gotten it." "God speaks to us every day. But in order to hear His voice, we must be tuned in to His frequency." "God doesn't want you to remain a 'babe' in Christ, but to mature, to graduate to solid food." "For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel." ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Hebrews 5:9-14 - Supporting Texts: 1 Peter 2:1-3, 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, Ezra 7:10, Ephesians 4:14 - Key Theme: Spiritual maturation from milk to solid food - Context: The superiority of Christ's priesthood and the call to spiritual maturity ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You're New in Your Faith: - Desire the pure milk of God's Word for foundational growth - Don't rush the process - milk is necessary for new believers - Focus on basic principles before moving to deeper truths If You've Been a Believer for Years: - Assess honestly whether you're still on spiritual milk - Move from being constantly taught to becoming a teacher - Practice what you've learned to develop spiritual discernment If You Struggle with False Teaching: - Develop skills to discern between good and evil - Study God's Word consistently to recognize error - Move beyond surface-level understanding to deeper truth If You're Reluctant About Fellowship: - Remember that God uses community for spiritual growth - Step out of your comfort zone for spiritual development - Engage with other believers for mutual encouragement To Develop Spiritual Maturity: - Make Bible study a daily habit, not just occasional reading - Practice applying what you learn in real-life situations - Tune in to God's frequency through consistent communication - Move from head knowledge to heart transformation ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION God doesn't want you to remain spiritually immature forever. He's calling you to graduate from milk to solid food, from being fed to feeding others, from basic principles to deeper understanding. Tune in to His frequency through His Word and consistent fellowship with other believers. ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app or offering boxes ---------- Remember: Spiritual maturity comes through consistent practice and application of God's Word.

In this episode I'm calling time on a sneaky little trap that keeps many of we introverts small: The Authenticity Trap. Yes, I said it.   You see, while being true to yourself is vital, too often authenticity gets misused as an excuse to dodge discomfort or avoid change. And that, dear listener, is not flourishing. It is hiding in plain sight. Let's unpack what authenticity truly means (thank you, psychology), how to spot when you're using it as a shield, and what to do instead.   Expect a little sass, a lot of love, and a gentle-but-firm nudge out of the comfort zone. Because growth might be awkward at first, but it's also glorious.     ** Key Points **   Authenticity ≠ Excuse Growth feels awkward, then natural Know your values   #Authenticity #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.
