"Because I’m showing up as my fully introverted self and I’ve built an audience around that, it’s actually way more comfortable and I don’t feel as shy as I once did."

"Because I’m showing up as my fully introverted self and I’ve built an audience around that, it’s actually way more comfortable and I don’t feel as shy as I once did."
Some of the things I talk about:
- How I started my business before I understood my introverted personality, and was happened when I owned that fact
- How and why it took me so long to identify as a “business owner”, and tying self-worth to income
- How being open about my personality makes it easier to find my right people
- Boundaries, saying no, showing up consistently, & dealing with feeling drained
- How being honest and open as a shy introvert makes it WAY easier to interact with other people
- How personality tests have helped me (I’m an INFJ!), and identifying as a "highly sensitive person"
- The benefits of being an introvert, the joys of working from home & tasks I most enjoy
- Some of the practices that help me (planning, email marketing, knowing my cycle, being of service)
- Learning what it takes for me to be fulfilled (and it’s more than money)
- Changing the way we think about selling & doing it in an ethical way
- Having stories about ourselves, and not knowing what we’re capable of
