Think, "Today, I will be the calm in the storm”⁠
Set my laptop to "do not disturb"⁠
Walk away from my desk⁠
Step outside to feel the sun on my face⁠
Write down one thing I'd like to focus on⁠

I love helping fellow introverts as much as I love

I love helping fellow introverts as much as I love Taylor Swift (which is, like, a lot).⁠
⁠
If you’re a high-achieving introvert struggling with overwhelm, overwork, and/or feeling drained ALL THE TIME, I’d like to think the algorithm brought you to the right place.⁠
⁠
My name’s Jess, and I’m an introvert too. I’m also a certified Tiny Habits coach and small business owner.⁠
⁠
…And I’m a recovered burner-outer. I’ve burnt out more times than I can count. But after 10+ years of chronic burnout, I chose to stop the cycle… and did.⁠
⁠
How? By doing the one thing everyone cautioned me against: owning my introversion.⁠
⁠
I stopped pretending to be an extrovert, and I started honoring my own boundaries as an introvert.⁠
⁠
Now I’m helping fellow introverted people do the same.⁠
⁠
I love helping others feel seen, understood, and safe.⁠
⁠
I’m process-oriented which helps me help you effectively and quickly.⁠
⁠
And I believe introverts belong and add value in all spaces.⁠
⁠

Here’s why Tiny Habits are life-savers for overwhe

Here’s why Tiny Habits are life-savers for overwhelmed introverts:⁠
⁠
Tiny Habits can bypass overthinking⁠
Because they are so small and require such little effort, you can put Tiny Habits into practice without triggering overthinking.⁠
⁠
Tiny Habits don’t rely on motivation or willpower⁠
Motivation increases and decreases which is why it’s not reliable. Tiny Habits focus on making behaviors so easy to do that you can succeed even on your hardest days.⁠
⁠
Tiny Habits allow us to see ourselves differently⁠
When we begin to find success with Tiny Habits, we begin to feel successful period and reinforce the vision we have of our future.⁠
⁠
Tiny Habits can grow big⁠
These tiny behaviors allow you to gain the momentum (and confidence) needed to face bigger challenges and make faster progress.⁠
⁠
Tiny Habits can start today⁠
You don’t need extensive training or any equipment to implement Tiny Habits.⁠

Anyone can experience overwhelm, but there are uni

Anyone can experience overwhelm, but there are unique factors that make introverts more susceptible to overwhelm.

These include: overstimulation, energy hangovers, and the impact of extrovert bias.

As introverts, overwhelm can be a warning that our tank’s nearing empty or it can be a symptom of already being drained.

Overwhelm is a signal from our body to slow down and protect our energy.

As introverts in an extroverted world, it may feel like we have little to no control over what’s expected of us.

But you have more control than you think. You have control over your thoughts, choices, and habits.

As introverted people, we can overcome overwhelm without pushing through, doubling down, or pretending to be an extrovert.

How do I know? I’m Jess, a high-achieving introvert who was overwhelmed and burnt out for 10+ years. I was able to break free from that cycle, and now I help other introverts prevent overwhelm and burnout.

If you’re an overwhelmed introvert ready to take control of your daily experience, send me a DM. I'm ready to help you.

Image Description:
Carousel with two text graphics. The first frame says, "Why am I so overwhelmed? Introvert Edition" and the URL introvertscan.co
The second frame says, "3 causes of introvert overwhelm" followed by summaries of the following three causes: Constant Overstimulation, Chronic Energy Hangovers, and Impact of Extrovert Bias.

The summaries are:

Constant Overstimulation: As introverted people, we are sensitive to external stimuli. We can only experience so much before it affects our mental, emotional, and physical well-being, making us susceptible to overwhelm.

Chronic Energy Hangovers: Introverts need time alone to recharge. When we’re unable to recharge, we experience energy hangovers which makes us more susceptible to overwhelm and/or making overwhelm worse.

Impact of Extrovert Bias: Society’s preference for extroverts can lead to negative self-perceptions which can lead to emotional overwhelm and/or behaviors that cause overstimulation, energy hangovers, and overwhelm.

If you’re introverted & overwhelmed right now, her

If you’re introverted & overwhelmed right now, here’s what I’d like you to know as someone who's been there:⁠
⁠
-What you’re feeling is real, but it’s not reality.⁠
-Overwhelm feels all-consuming, but it’s not forever.⁠
-You have more control than you think.⁠
⁠
Let’s do one of these things together right now to help our bodies get out of fight-or-flight:⁠
⁠
-Take three deep breaths.⁠
-Walk away from your desk for 30 seconds.⁠
-Identify one thing on your to-do list to focus on.⁠
-Set all apps (email, Slack, Teams, etc.) to “Do not disturb.”⁠
-Think of one thing you can do for fun/joy.⁠
⁠
As introverted people, we can overcome overwhelm without pushing through, doubling down, or pretending to be an extrovert.⁠
⁠
How do I know? I’m Jess, a high-achieving introvert who was overwhelmed and burnt out for 10+ years. Now I help other introverts prevent overwhelm and burnout.⁠

Overwhelm feels never-ending, but I promise you it

Overwhelm feels never-ending, but I promise you it’s not. Here’s how I know…⁠
⁠
Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a high-achieving introvert who was overwhelmed and burnt out for 10+ years. Now I help other introverts prevent overwhelm and burnout.⁠
⁠
If you’re currently overwhelmed and only remember one thing from this post, I hope it’s this:⁠
⁠
Overwhelm is not forever.⁠
⁠
When we’re feeling overwhelmed, we’re reacting to what’s happening around us and struggling with what we think it should be.⁠
⁠
We are trying to control what we can’t and relinquishing control where it’s available to us.⁠
⁠
Overwhelm can take over everything in our lives, but it can also be temporary.⁠
⁠
We just have to choose. You have more control than you think.⁠
⁠
If you’re an overwhelmed introvert and would like my help with managing and preventing overwhelm now and in the future, send me a DM. I'm here for you.⁠

But you can surface from a period of overwhelm and find clarity and calm... and you can learn to ride the wave in the future."

If you’re a high-achieving introvert experiencing

If you’re a high-achieving introvert experiencing overwhelm, here’s what I’d urge you to consider (as someone who’s been there):⁠
⁠
What you’re feeling is very real, but it doesn’t have to be your reality.⁠
⁠
You might feel stuck, but you don’t have to be overwhelmed forever.⁠
⁠
Overwhelm can be temporary if you want it to be. It can be managed in the present and prevented in the future.⁠
⁠
And, as introverted people, we can overcome overwhelm without pushing through, doubling down, or working harder to get through it.⁠
⁠
How do I know? I’m Jess, a high-achieving introvert who was overwhelmed and burnt out for 10+ years. I was able to break the cycle, and now I help other introverts do the same.⁠
⁠
If you’re an overwhelmed introvert in need of support, I want to help you. Send me a DM.⁠
