In our extra extroverted world, living a quiet life can feel… strange. You may wonder if it’s wrong to want a simpler life. After all, society projects the idea that living loudly is the best way to exist. You may even feel guilty or ashamed for not wanting what everyone else does. Well, I’m here […]

Let’s be honest: it can feel downright impossible to have a quiet day at work if you’re an introvert. The constant interactions, demands, and pressure can leave introverts feeling drained and overwhelmed even if they’re working from home. However, embracing your introverted nature and finding ways to nurture it can lead to increased well-being, productivity, […]

Between our society’s preference for extroverts and the chokehold social media has on our daily lives, it can be difficult to cultivate confidence. We are constantly comparing our lives to the lives of others (sometimes without realizing we’re doing it), making us feel like we’re not enough. But it doesn’t have to be that way. […]

Raise your hand if you’ve thought “How is it {insert month} already?!” at least once this year (I know I have). Between the demands life places on us (work, family, friends, community) and the pressures we place on ourselves (thoughts, beliefs, mindsets, expectations), it can feel like life is whizzing by.

The holidays have the potential to be magical, but there’s no denying it: they can also be a major source of stress. As introverts, we might find ourselves dreading all that’s jammed into a relatively short period of time: parties, shopping, travel, family time, etc. It’s not because we don’t love the holidays, but because […]

‘Tis the season, fellow introverts! Temperatures are dropping, along with the leaves, and the holidays will be upon us before we know it… along with the stress of holiday shopping. The pressure to find the perfect gifts while navigating the holiday crowds and tackling the never-ending to-do lists can quickly turn this festive time into […]

My relationship with networking reads like a 2010s relationship status on Facebook: it’s complicated. As a business owner, I can’t deny the value of making and nurturing connections. But, as an introvert and Highly Sensitive Person with a pattern of burnout, I’ve learned to network with caution (and even some hesitation). It’s a conundrum: I […]

Have you ever wanted to hit pause on life to catch up, or just to catch a breath? I know I have.
