Episode 207: Stop Being So Mean to Yourself! Time to Rethink Your Self Talk
Ever notice how you're your own worst critic? Do you talk to yourself in ways you’d NEVER speak to another human? This episode is all about self-compassion - what it really means, the latest research behind it, and how it can transform both your mental and physical health. After reflecting on my own experiences so far this year - as well as what I’ve seen with friends and clients - I realised that self-compassion (or more often, the lack of it) plays a huge role in so many areas of our wellbeing and success. In this episode, I break down why we’re so quick to criticise ourselves, and how shifting to a more compassionate mindset can be life-changing. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 💡 What self-compassion actually is - and why it’s VERY different from self-indulgence 🧠 The latest scientific research showing the powerful effects of self-compassion on mental and physical health 🚀 The real impact of self-criticism vs. self-compassion, how it influences your motivation, resilience, and overall wellbeing 💛 Simple ways to practice self-compassion (even if it doesn’t come naturally) 🔍 3 real-life examples of how self-compassion has played an important role in my life, my clients' journeys, and conversations with friends this year Key Takeaways: - Self-criticism isn’t a motivator - it’s often a roadblock to success, making challenges feel heavier and harder to overcome (and using more energy…) - Simple mindset shifts can help you build a more compassionate inner voice and reduce the pressure you put on yourself. - Self-compassion isn’t about making excuses - it’s about recognising that being kind to yourself fuels long-term growth and success. If you struggle with perfectionism, harsh self-talk, or feeling like you never quite measure up, this episode is for you!

Episode 191: Designing Your Self Concept for Success with Andrew Rowe
Never has ‘as within, so without’ been as relevant as when we apply it to our success and happiness - two things that this week’s guest on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast, Andrew Rowe, helps his clients with on the daily. Andrew believes that if your life isn’t as you want it, the first place you need to make changes is actually inside - particularly with your perception of yourself. This ‘self concept’ is something we discuss at length in this episode, as well as: Andrew’s spiritual awakening, and how a drug-related psychosis started a chain of events that led him to his current life How to quickly shift our reality (and why grace is a vital piece of the puzzle) Some of our own ‘magic’ manifestation experiences, and what both the Tour de France and Les Misérables can teach us about choosing our own beliefs Why the need for time alone is just as important for extroverts, and how it differs from what we need as introverts Is there any aspect of your life you’d like to change? If you said yes, do not miss this episode!

Episode 190: Going from Good to Great to Exceptional as an Ambitious Introvert
Many coaches focus on solving problems, but my clients aren’t struggling - they’re striving for more. They seek growth in areas of life such as career, business, spirituality, and finances - not because they have to, but because they want to. In this solo episode, I share about rethinking my 1:1 coaching model, and reflect on the clients I love working with and the transformations they experience through working together. I’m talking about: What makes a coaching relationship truly fulfilling and how I identify clients who are ready to make the most out of their coaching journey. How my top strengths of Strategic and Maximizer can elevate your journey from good to exceptional, pushing beyond the ordinary to achieve extraordinary results. Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation, and how to determine if your drive for success comes from within. Are you pursuing greatness for yourself, or to prove something to others? This episode is perfect for Ambitious Introverts who are already doing well but want to push the boundaries of what’s possible, not for validation or ego, but for the sheer joy (mixed with a little fear!) of growth and learning.

Habits are the foundation of success - unless the ones that are deeply ingrained are actually exhausting you.

How often do you TRULY take time alone? While the idea is blissful to most of us introverts it can also be tough to turn inwards and be honest about what you want from life - as today’s podcast guest Melissa Unsell-Smith discovered. Melissa is a serial entrepreneur, 2 x tech founder and most recently the brain behind Catalytic Icon, a community that helps women create ‘authentic connections and dreamy lifestyles’.

He’s since written a book on the subject and launched a podcast to support introverts in working in a way that works FOR them, not against. Tune in to hear us discuss: How David discovered his introversion over time What he believes are the often-overlooked strengths of introverts Why common time management and productivity advice is severely lacking in supporting us (and what we actually need instead) Our personal takes on the societal factors that affect both genders in embracing their introversion (and hear just how different our viewpoints are) This episode backs up everything I preach about introversion being energetic needs, and not traits - I know all you’ll appreciate David’s insights.

Episode 170: Rest vs Relaxation - Why You Need BOTH This Holiday Season
What’s more fitting for an episode airing on Christmas Day than the topic of rest and relaxation - something we should be prioritising all year round, but what the holidays gives us even more opportunity to lean into!

Episode 169: Express with Empathy - The Art of Compassionate Communication with Kate Brown
As a coach, podcaster and former air traffic controller, communicating effectively has been vital for me throughout my whole career. But communicating goes so much deeper than simply annunciating words clearly, and this week’s guest on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast is explaining why compassion is often the missing piece. Kate Brown is a coach and the founder of Calm at Work, and she believes that human connection is the key to overcoming issues in not just the workplace, but also in life. She’s sharing what it means to communicate with compassion, and how understanding our needs is the first step to asking for them to be met by others. We discuss: How being able to communicate what we want and need is crucial to helping us reach our potential Examples of how we can appear to ‘act out’ when we find it hard to vocalise our needs The different types of apology, and understanding this is similar to knowing your Love Language How connecting to our humanity improves workplace well being and relationships, and makes us a better leader The unmet need many introverts have because they’re not sure how to ask for it! As Kate says in the episode, "compassion is meeting people where they are and meeting myself where I am", which is such an empowering way to approach all types of communication.

Episode 168: Remote Work Revolution: Embracing the Digital Nomad Lifestyle with Lucy Bedewi
Covid shook up a lot of things, and the workplace was one of them. With proof of concept that remote and hybrid working don’t reduce productivity (in fact, quite the opposite), companies are now embracing flexible options - which is great news for those ambitious introverts with a severe case of wanderlust! This week on the podcast I’m joined by long-time digital nomad Lucy Bedewi, a messaging strategy and copywriter who runs her business My Write Hand Woman while travelling full time. Tune in to hear Lucy share all the details of her lifestyle, including: Why she chose living out of a suitcase over Corporate America How a leap of faith vacation with an internet friend she’d never met in 2020 changed everything (spoiler alert - she never went home!) Why balancing work time and fun time is even more important on the road, and the mindset reframe that’s allowed her to do this without feeling like she’s ‘missing out’ Her back-up tech stack to ensure she’s able to get online whatever the circumstances Why relationships can actually thrive with full time travel How tricky time zones helped her get very strict with her boundaries (and how this had a massive positive impact on her energy and business) Whether you’re an employee or a business owner, tune in to hear what’s possible if both travel AND career success are non-negotiables for you!

Episode 167: 5 Things No One Tells You About Personal Development
With the new year approaching there’s so much talk of goals, resolutions and words of the year. If reaching your potential and creating life on your terms is important to you, you’re probably somewhere on your personal development journey already. And while growth, learning and new possibilities are all oh-so-exciting, there are some aspects of ‘doing the work’ that are a little less appealing… In this episode I’m breaking down some of the truths that aren’t always talked about front and centre in the self improvement space. Does this mean I’m suggesting it’s not worth it? Not at all! But forewarned is forearmed, and knowing what bumps may lie ahead might just make it that bit easier for you to move through them. I’ll be sharing: When you ‘need’ to work on your development Why simple and easy aren’t the same thing Why it’s ok if you don’t know ‘exactly’ what to do If you can tell you’re on track My thoughts about long term commitment to the process Episode Resources: The Untethered Soul by Michael A Singer The Success Principles by Jack Canfield CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: https://theambitiousintrovert.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmalouparkes/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkes Sign up to receive my monthly Introverts Only digest, delivering all the best introvert-friendly resources straight to your inbox, minus the scroll here .

Episode 165: Facing Fear and Making Big Moves with Ewelina Olechowska
Taking big action can feel terrifying, and going against the status quo can bring up some very human fears such as being rejected by the tribe. But as we all know, it’s those leap of faith moments of bravery that lead us to the amazing life experiences on the other side. On The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast this week I’m chatting with Ewelina Olechowska, founder of Studio Domka, about the big moves she’s made to create her current life - and it all began with questioning what she wanted and what was actually available to her. We cover: Why leaning in and trusting your intuition is so important How to move through the fear that you’ll upset others by following your dreams How surrounding yourself with others like you can support and speed up the journey The type of personal development work both Ewelina and I love (and have both seen massive results from) Episode Resources - To Be Magnetic (use code EMMALOUISE for 15% off) CONNECT WITH EWELINA Website: https://studiodomka.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/studiodomka/ CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: https://theambitiousintrovert.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmalouparkes/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkes Sign up to receive my monthly Introverts Only digest, delivering all the best introvert-friendly resources straight to your inbox, minus the scroll here .

Episode 164: Your Intuitive Edge as an Introvert
The term intuition can conjure up images of crystal balls and palm readers, but what if I told you it’s something we can all tap into? Whether it’s that niggly feeling in your gut or the desire to take a seemingly random path that makes no logical sense, these subtle signs are often coming from our own internal guidance system. Learning what’s ours (and not others opinions and energy we’ve absorbed) is key to being able to trust it and work with it for massive success. In this episode I’m sharing an example of me leaning into my own intuition in my business, and how it led to amazing results I could never have imagined at the time!

How many times have you held yourself back from: Applying for a promotion Asking for a payrise Pitching yourself to a podcast Or even inviting someone out on a date… …in case you get told ‘no’? No one loves feeling rejected, but in order to reach our potential we need to take aligned action that leads us closer to our goals - and in this episode we’re discussing how to build the resilience to do just that. Alice Draper is a Podcast & PR expert who approached getting ‘no thanks’ as if it were a game - and changed her mindset for the better. Alice and I chat about all things rejection related, from how to depersonalise the experience, the reframes that helped us both put ourselves out there, and why actively seeking out being turned down can be the best thing for your resilience and growth!

Episode 160: Best of the Back Catalogue - EFT 101 - Tapping Into Your Potential with Brad Yates
This episode holds a special place in my heart as I’ve been ‘Tapping With Brad’ for many years, and EFT is a modality I still recommend to my clients and audience.

Joanna’s an Executive Coach and certified Myers Briggs Practitioner, and she truly believes that owning your strengths and articulating them positively is key to flourishing in your career AND your life. Joanna’s clients are mostly mid-career introverts in STEM & professional services who know they have more to offer, and are tired of being overlooked and undervalued. Joanna helps them decide what flourishing and fulfilment really mean to them, so they can take the right action to make that their reality. We also discuss extroversion bias within businesses and explore Joanna's role as a champion for us often overlooked introverts, something I am particularly interested in too!

Episode 148: Visibility, Self Expression and Business as an Introvert with Bibigi Haile
In this week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert Podcast® I’m delighted to be joined by guest Bibigi Haile. Bibiigi is a Strategic Visibility Advisor to women in leadership, and she helps her clients to identify their superpower, mirror it back to them and support them while they step into their zone of genius. As well as being highly introverted AND ambitious Bibigi, also has ADHD and social anxiety. After recently discovering her human design type (she’s a reflector), Bibigi has a deeper understanding of her interactions with people and her own need for space. In our very honest conversation we explore the importance of setting boundaries as an introvert and being comfortable with saying no to social events or activities that drain our energy. Understanding your own value and showing up authentically in the world is super important to Bibigi (and in turn for her clients), and I hope you find this episode permission-giving if you’re wondering how you can truly connect with your own superpower.

Episode 147: Following Your Passions & Using Your Strengths in Business with Liz Rohr
This week on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast I’m joined by Messaging & Strategy Consultant Liz Rohr. Liz supports her clients to communicate what they do, who it's for and how they do it - while also giving themselves permission to be truly honest about what they want. Liz is a highly sensitive empath, runs two businesses and her background is as a nurse practitioner, so she is truly multi-passionate. One of the things I loved most about our conversation is that Liz created both her businesses based on what she loves and what she’s good at. At a time when so much of the messaging we see online is about must-follow formulas and quick wins, Liz’s approach is refreshing and inspirational. I know this conversation will resonate with anyone who finds themselves pulled by their different passions, and I hope you find this episode permission-giving if that sounds like you. Tune in to find out: How Liz left her role as a nurse practitioner and moved into entrepreneurship Liz’s marketing plan when she first started her business, and how she developed her ideal client avatar How Liz maintained consistency and why she prioritised it Why Liz gave herself permission to stop doing the things that she found draining How even if you think people aren’t listening, they are!

Episode 146: Becoming Exceptional & Finding Fulfilment with Carly Anna
We all know the coaching industry is unregulated, and unfortunately that means we’ve seen some pretty unscrupulous behaviour online. But thankfully not every coach is like that, and this week I’m joined by the amazing Carly Anna to talk about the change she wants to see in the industry - and how she’s contributing to it. After completing a Masters in Psychology in 2017, Carly decided becoming a Clinical Psychologist wasn’t for her after all and pivoted her career to become a coach.

Her second brand The Fulfillionaire supports her clients to create exceptional wealth, impact AND fulfilment. Tune in to find out: How we connected on opposite sides of the world through the power of voice notes and DMs How Human Design has impacted how Carly supports her clients The deconditioning Carly has done since becoming aware of her Human Design, and specifically her authority How, and why, Carly pivoted from her career in the psychology field to becoming a coach How The Midas Academy came to life, and the amount of work that went into distilling Carly’s skills and experience into the programme What happens when you choose to learn more, and the impact that then has on your clients The legacy Carly wants to leave behind for the coaching industry How Carly explored the concept of fulfilment and how it led her to create The Fulfillionaire brand.

Analena is a Human Design coach for conscious introvert leaders, and she helps her clients to create success in a sustainable way that allows them to fully enjoy their life and business.

This week on The Ambitious Introvert Podcast® I’m delighted to share my very first Client Spotlight episode with you. Lauren Lea is an OBM and fractional COO, and she has recently launched OBM Associates®, a new arm of her business. Lauren’s been a client since October 2022 and we’d been connected for around 6 months before then.

I hope you enjoy hearing what happens behind the scenes when I support a client with a big change in business. Even though there was a LOT of strategy work that went into Lauren’s launch there was also vital mindset and growth work. Lauren is super open about the challenges she worked through to ultimately create the success of OBM Associates®. Tune in to find out: Lauren’s human design type and how she embraces that in her work Why we don’t necessarily need support from someone who has the same skills and personality type as us, but instead can embrace the opposite Lauren’s corporate career path and how she found her way to the online space What led Lauren to make a change in her business and how she decided to create OBM Associates® How we streamlined Lauren’s business idea during our half day kick-off in Lisbon Why Lauren’s definition of success isn’t defined by finances Her passion for travel and how she made her business work while she was in South America The impact Lauren’s environment has on her energy levels Lauren’s experience of working with me and how she feels about Slack support CONNECT WITH LAUREN www.laurenleaobm.com Lauren’s Instagram: @laurenleaobm OBM Associates Instagram: @obmassociates LAUREN’S BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkes Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network Sign up to receive my monthly Introvert's Only digest, delivering all the best introvert-friendly resources straight to your inbox, minus the scroll here PREMIUM SUPPORT Interested in working with me 1:1 or joining The Quiet Power Mastermind?

Episode 143: The Power of Personalisation: Empowering Clients through Customised Coaching Experiences with Kaitlyn Kessler
I love my regular calls with my clients and there’s a real magic to the conversations we have, especially as I work with the vast majority of my clients on a long-term basis. But over the years I’ve found that not every client needs to have weekly calls, and there are plenty of other mediums that allow for them to work through their ideas and challenges. My guest and friend Kaitlyn Kessler, mindset and leadership coach, agrees with me - on this week’s episode we talk about our experiences of working with clients in truly bespoke ways. Kaitlyn helps her clients create and shift into an ease-filled business while figuring out what that means and looks like for them, and she’s all about making that experience as personalised and unique as possible. Tune in to find out: How an Etsy shop venture with her sister led Kaitlyn to design work before she pivoted to coaching The ethics around coaching and the challenges around maintaining professional boundaries How Kaitlyn feels about the communication element between coaching calls The different mediums of communication we use with our clients Why we both encourage our clients to make their own decisions - even if that means not running everything by us!

Episode 142: Setting Up for Success as a CEO with Byron Morrison
Setting goals is one of the first things we do when we start a business, and they’re truly invaluable in keeping you motivated and on track. But there’s a whole other side of setting goals that we don’t always take into account, and this is the exact thing I’m talking about this week on the podcast. Joining me in this discussion is a true expert in the field, high performance and mindset coach Byron Morrison. Over the last decade of working with CEOs and entrepreneurs, Byron has seen the inner workings of a huge number of businesses. He’s seen over and over again the biggest reason why most people don't achieve their goals, and why we sabotage ourselves before we even get started. Byron helps his clients get out of their own head and break through to the next level of success. Tune in to find out: The catalyst that led to Byron becoming a high performance coach What Byron sees going wrong in the goal setting process, and how to fix it What can trip high achievers and high performers up when it comes to changing habits Why you should audit your time regularly to work out what you should and shouldn’t be doing What bandwidth means in business and why it matters hugely, even if it’s not that tangible The difference between being busy and being productive The biggest barrier to success that Byron has seen in himself and in his work with clients Why 8 figure business owners struggle with the same things as new business owners do!

She works with her clients to view the whole picture of themselves and to optimise their unique hormonal cycle, helping them prioritise their true wellness, rather than hustling to earn their existence. Cycle-syncing is all about understanding and having a radical acceptance of your motivational cycles and how to honour them. After 4 years in business I love to explore ways to refine and optimise how I feel and perform, and cycle-synching is something I recommend to all my female clients. Tune in to find out: Your hormonal cycle, and the predictable stages that impact your energy and mood throughout the month How embracing your cycle can feel incredibly liberating The 4 main parts of your cycle, and what happens in your body and mind during each stage The types of work that are well-suited to the different stages of your cycle How you can reliably track your cycle Synthetic hormones, and how they impact cycle-synching CONNECT WITH JULIA www.juliadewolfecoaching.com www.instagram.com/juliadewolfecoaching JULIA’S BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS The Period Repair Manual by Lara Briden Beyond The Pill by Jolene Brighten The Hormone Repair Manual by Lara Briden The Dutch House by Ann Patchett The Oura Ring CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkes Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network Join the email list here THE QUIET POWER MASTERMIND If you’re looking to scale your business or perhaps you’re close to being fully booked

Welcome to this week’s solo episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast, where I’m sharing what’s been going on behind the scenes this April.

Episode 134: Why Consistency is Sexy and Sassy with Tia G
This week I’m delighted to be joined by Tia G, your Sassy Black Friend who might not always be the friend you want, but is definitely the one you need! Tia helps her coaching clients to live with more purpose, passion, and intention to create the life of their dreams. Tia describes herself as an introvert with an extroverted personality, and although she has a very direct style of talking and working with her clients, she’s also very loving as she supports her clients to push into their new levels of growth. Tune in to find out: How Tia manifested her guest spot on the podcast! Why growth is uncomfortable, but necessary How Tia built a consistent presence online (but why it didn’t always feel easy) Why it can feel discouraging to look at how often someone posts now, but to remember to look at how and where they started The insecurities that came up when Tia took part in a 30 day posting challenge Why writing things down often feels harder than saying them out loud Why you shouldn’t sit and wait for motivation (and what to do instead) CONNECT WITH TIA: Join the Facebook group Instagram Tik Tok Linktree Sign up for your 33 Self-Love Sassfirmations Bonus Audio here TIA’S BOOK RECOMMENDATION: Can’t Stop Me (Can’t Hurt Me for UK readers) by David Goggins Rich as F*ck by Amanda Frances CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkes Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network PREMIUM SUPPORT Interested in working with me 1:1 or joining The Quiet Power Mastermind?

Emily is brilliant at what she does and has helped me design all of my programs, and today she’s sharing her very personal story of being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. In recent years there’s been a rise in adult diagnosis of a number of neurodivergent conditions, so I wanted to share Emily's story of how that felt for her before, during and after.

Episode 132: The Magic of Masterminds with Ellie Swift
On this week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast I’m joined by the lovely Ellie Swift. Ellie is a business coach and mastermind mentor, and her zone of genius is helping her clients shine online. I invited Ellie to share her experience of running masterminds, not only because she does it extremely successfully, but also because she started hers without having ever been in one! The fact Ellie didn’t have any preconceived ideas of how a group programme would look allowed her to create a mastermind model that suited her uniqueness, while still providing the excellent value and support she did as a 1:1 coach. Tune in to find out: Why Ellie left her successful corporate career shortly after reaching her goal of becoming the Head of Marketing. How she went from working with 27 clients on a 1:1 basis (!) to exploring an alternative that required less time in front of the screen The mindset hurdles that came up when she Ellie first transitioned to a mastermind model How Ellie ensured she could still provide excellent value and a supportive experience for her mastermind clients The small but mighty team she has to support her The biggest shift in her mindset that Ellie needed to adopt to get to where she is today CONNECT WITH ELLIE: The Swiftmind Mastermind: https://ellieswift.com/swiftmind/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elliehswift/ Website: https://ellieswift.com/ Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/shineonsocialellieswift/ ELLIE’S BOOK RECOMMENDATION We Should all be Millionaires by Rachel Rodgers CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkes Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network PREMIUM SUPPORT Interested in working with me 1:1?

Episode 130: Turning Your Passion into Profit with Suzie Agelopoulos
On this week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert Podcast® I’m joined by Suzie Agelopoulos. Suzie is an AirBnB coach and business mentor - in a nutshell, she helps people make money with AirBnB! Suzie is definitely more on the extrovert end of the scale, but I really wanted to share her story with you because she’s quite literally turned her passion for travel into a (very) profitable business. Suzie also made decisions and investments without truly knowing if that money would make its way back to her (or when), but she has exercised her trust muscle since starting out, and she prioritises her mindset practice - these two things have allowed her to scale rapidly and find amazing success doing what she loves! Tune in to find out: How Suzie ‘gave in’ to her passions and decided to build her business around her passion for travel (rather than what she thought she should be doing) How she found the online business world at 35 and randomly stumbled across AirBnB while she was in Bali Why you don’t need to have a fixed end goal in mind when you’re starting a business (and why she doesn’t believe in yearly plans) The importance of trusting yourself Suzie’s mindset routine, and why she keeps the timing of it flexible What Suzie has planned for 2023 (and why too many things will impact your freedom!)

Jo has been in business for over 10 years and has created a unique framework for supporting her clients in translating their energy into a strategy. This allows them to quantum leap, not just in business, but in all areas of life.

Tune in to find out: How Jo found energy psychology while working in a stressful career in advertising What energy psychology is, and how it has become more widely recognised Jo’s journey with anxiety and how EFT transformed her life Why patience and commitment is vital on anyone’s energy journey Why the theme of ‘excellence’ is Jo’s biggest driver in business Why community is important in business and how Jo incorporates that with 1:1 support How leadership is changing as our consciousness is evolving THE AMBITIOUS INTROVERT® ACADEMY The doors to The Academy are open!

Episode 128: The Introvert's Guide to Chat GPT for Business
If you’ve been online in the past couple of months, you’ll have seen someone talking about ChatGPT. There’s a divide between people who are raving fans vs. others who are worried about what it means for creativity - so I thought the tool would be the perfect topic to talk about in this week’s episode. Wherever you land on the ChatGPT debate, it’s safe to say that the tool itself and AI in general isn’t going away anytime soon! In fact, it’s only going to become more prevalent. But does that mean you’ll no longer need to write a single thing in your business? No! But it could save you a lot of time. Tune in to find out: An exciting milestone for the podcast (and why I was completely fine knowing the podcast would be a slow burner) What ChatGPT actually is (in its own words!) and how it works The pros of using ChatGPT from an introvert’s perspective The potential cons of ChatGPT 5 ways I’m using it at The Ambitious Introvert, and how I’ve felt while testing it out What I really think about ChatGPT in terms of writing your content THE AMBITIOUS INTROVERT ACADEMY® The doors to the Academy are open!

Episode 125: I Wish I Had This When I Started my Business...
Today on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast I’m looking right back at the beginning of my online business journey. While I’ve been in the process of refining The Ambitious Introvert Academy® one of the statements I’ve used as a guiding compass is ‘I wish I had this when I started my business’. As it turns out, there are a few things I wish I *didn’t* have, too! As always I hope you’ll find this episode helpful in deciding how you feel about certain areas of business, with today’s topic focussing specifically on what you could consider when deciding about the next (or the first) type of support you might want. Because after all, until you know, you won’t know. I’ll be sharing: The thing I wish I’d had that would have stopped me from feeling overwhelmed (and wasting heaps of time) My thoughts on being part of a cohort within a programme The impact an integration week had on my own experience of being coached The difference between formulas and frameworks (and how my experience of one impacted how I feel about the other) CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network PREMIUM SUPPORT Ready to start your online business journey with a coach who just ‘gets’ you?

Episode 124: How I Think About…..Being An Ambitious Introvert
Welcome back to the ‘How I Think About……’ series on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast, where I share my behind the scenes thought processes around key themes in my business. So far I’ve covered Mindset, Marketing, Investing and Social Media, and today I’m sharing How I Think About……Being An Ambitious Introvert. Seeing as my entire business is designed to support ambitious introverts, this episode has been a long time coming! It took me a while to focus on a niche in my coaching business. I knew I wanted to support introverts (like me) but it was important for me to create messaging that made it clear exactly the type of introvert I could help the most. In this week’s episode I’m sharing how I went about creating that distinction and the thought process that led me to create The Ambitious Introvert® brand. I’ll be talking about: How I think about being ambitious (and the distinction I make between ‘being ambitious’ and ‘having ambition’) How I define being an introvert (and the common traits that should be separated from introversion) Why it’s so important for ambitious introverts to do things in a sustainable way CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 123: January BTS Business Round Up
We’re taking a break from the ‘How I Think About…..’ series this week - instead I’m sharing a behind the scenes round-up of my business this month. I’ve had positive feedback when I’ve recorded episodes like this in the past so I’m excited to share what’s been going on in my business in the first few weeks of 2023. These episodes will cover what I've been working on, anything I've changed in the business, milestones I've reached etc, as well as things I'm seeing in the online space. I love hearing what other people’s business experience looks like, and I’m excited to share mine with you. In this week’s episode I’ll be sharing: Why we shouldn’t make ourselves wrong in our quieter, less motivated moments Why highly sensitives and empaths are strongly affected by the global energy (and what that might mean for your mindset and energy) What I’ve been working on this month, including The Ambitious Introvert Academy® What I want to share more of this year (and what you can expect to hear on the podcast) A belated share of my words for the year - one personal and one business The surprising thing I’ve committed to this year… LINKS EMMA-LOUISE MENTIONS: The Expanded Podcast The Ambitious Introvert® Academy waitlist CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 122: How I Think About… Social Media
Welcome to the fourth instalment in the ‘How I Think About…..’ series on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast. In this mini series I’m sharing my thoughts in an organic, stream-of-consciousness way, which I hope will help you see that there’s no one right way of doing things! In fact my thoughts on all the topics so far have hugely changed since I first started in business, and it’s these thought processes that I’ve found to be the most helpful in supporting my clients to work out how they want to think about things too. So far I’ve shared my thoughts on mindset, marketing and investing, and this week I’m moving on to social media for business. As an introverted online business owner who helps other introverts in business, social media isn’t my favourite marketing medium - and it’s completely okay if it’s not yours either! In this week’s episode I’ll be sharing: What I think about social media from a personal perspective What I thought about showing my face on social media when I first started my business (and how that changed) Why I now think social media is a gift (and how I changed my mindset around that) Why social media is only a small part of my marketing strategy (and why trends have zero impact on my content marketing plan) Why I don’t make interaction on my posts mean anything about me or my content (and why understanding your audience is key) CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 121: How I Think About… Investing
Welcome to the third episode in the How I Think About….. Series. This week I’m sharing my thoughts on investing, specifically related to investments in our businesses. There’s a LOT of educational content online showing us how to do XYZ, but we don’t often see the thought process behind the actions online business owners take. But it’s actually the thought process that gives us the changes and breakthroughs we need, because it’s a reflection of our mindset (and we know how important that is). My hope in the ‘How I Think About…..’ series of episodes is that you can decide how YOU think and feel about a certain topic, whether you resonate with something I’ve said or firmly disagree! In this week’s episode I’ll be sharing: How I approached investing in myself and my business when I first started (and how I’d feel if an investment didn’t work out the way I thought it would) When my view of investing began to change and the impact that had on the next business investment I made How I think about investing in my business now, and how I categorise each type of investment Why a ROI isn’t always immediate but doesn’t necessarily mean it is less valuable (and in fact may be even more so) The energetics behind investing and why they matter so much RESOURCES EMMA-LOUISE MENTIONED The Advance Network My ‘As If’ trip podcast episode The Pathway membership by To be Magnetic CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 120 : How I Think About… Marketing
This week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast is the second in the ‘How I Think About…..’ series, and today I’m sharing my thoughts on Marketing. I haven’t always had a great relationship with marketing, but I now consider it a gateway to working with clients I love to support. If you’ve ever felt not entirely in love with it either, consider this episode not only permission giving, but also perhaps a new perspective that could help you feel better about it! It’s so important, now more than ever, that we don’t just see business through the lens of a curated feed on social media. There are so many facets to running a business that aren’t always black and white, and being able to hear how other business owners think about things (such marketing) can help us decide where we land on a particular topic. It’s the reason I created the ‘How I Think About….’ series in the first place! In this episode I’ll be sharing: How I used to think about marketing and why that held me back from taking action The best way to find out if a particular marketing method will suit you and your audience How I think about marketing now, and how this has taken the pressure off each individual piece of content I create How I’ve reframed marketing as a business task (and what that actually means in practice) CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 119: How I Think About….Mindset
Welcome to the first 2023 episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast and the beginning of a special series of episodes called ‘How I Think About….’ So much of my own growth during my 4 years in business has come not from what I’ve done or what someone else has taught me, but the way I’ve changed how I think about something. These How I Think About…. episodes will be an unscripted look at the thought patterns and processes that have had the biggest impact on my business, and I’m delighted to share the very first of the series called How I Think About….Mindset. Mindset can feel like a really loaded subject, but by the end of this episode hopefully you’ll see that YOU can create change within yourself and by yourself. I’ll be sharing: Why the word ‘mindset’ can be a bit misleading What I think about my own mindset practice and the type of mindset I aim to cultivate The differences between a fixed mindset vs. a growth mindset What neural pathways are and how they’re created (and how this impacts you) The reason why creating and repeating a mindset habit is the key to seeing the results The types of mindset exercises I regularly carry out, and why they’re non-negotiable CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

As a minimalist at heart, I LOVE to keep things as simple as possible. This is true of my personal life AND my business, and at this time of year when things start to wind down I take the opportunity to have a good old spring clean. In today’s solo episode (and the last of 2022!) I’m sharing some of the things I do at the end of the year to start fresh for 2023.

Episode 117: Embracing your Natural Sensitivity with Jessi Michel Agadoni
We’ve been speaking A LOT about mindset and business strategy recently on the show, so I’m delighted to change the focus slightly this week to a more physical aspect of sensitivity. Today I’m joined by Jessi Michel Agadoni, who specialises in helping natural sensitives create authentic calm in their bodies - helping them cultivate the grounded, sustainable energy they uniquely need to do powerful work. Jessi’s journey from misunderstood child to owning her own natural and developed sensitivities has led her to supporting her clients to live in a way that honours their trait, rather than work against it. We talk about: Why Jessi decided to use the term ‘natural sensitive’ instead of ‘highly sensitive’ Why natural sensitives need to live a little differently in order to be healthy and successful in business The difference between natural sensitivities and developed sensitivities (and why the distinction matters) The importance of understanding how you experience emotional trauma, so you can heal your developed, physical sensitivity Why you can dial up or down your sensitivity (and why that can be your superpower) Learning how to come back into your body and have the courage to own what you need to honour your natural sensitivity THIS WEEK’S GUEST: Jessi’s book recommendation: The Myth of Normal by Gabor Maté CONNECT WITH JESSI: Website: https://www.merfleurwellness.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/merfleurwellness/ CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 116: Fighting Anxiety as an Entrepreneur with Katrina Aronson
This week’s episode is on a topic that was requested by an audience member around 9 months ago - how to run a business when you have anxiety. As I don’t suffer from anxiety myself I wanted to speak with an entrepreneur who did, so I’m delighted to welcome my guest Katrina Aronson to share her perspective on the subject. Katrina is a business coach who helps her clients run and grow their business in a way that feels authentic to them. After leaving the corporate world and going onto scale a business from 0 to 6 figures in a year (and then on to multiple 6 figures after that), Katrina found herself struggling with overwhelming anxiety. After developing practices to move through how she was feeling, Katrina went on to create her coaching practice in a way that felt enjoyable instead of draining. I think this week’s topic is going to resonate with a lot of you - whether you’re an introvert or extrovert. We talk about: The tipping point when Katrina knew she needed to get help, instead of just putting another band-aid on The steps she took to move through her anxiety and why (literally) going upside down helped Why making money in business is a lot easier when doing so from a place of joy Why experimenting with self-care, mindset practices and outsourcing is key to feeling less overwhelmed (and why waiting until everything feels perfect isn’t at all helpful) Why testing changes for 3 months is the only way you’ll know if they work THIS WEEK’S GUEST: Katrina’s book recommendation: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle CONNECT WITH KATRINA: Website: https://www.katrinaaronson.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katrinaaronson_consulting/ Through the Marketing Lens Podcast: https://www.katrinaaronson.com/podcast CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 115: Taking Back Your Time with Reese Spykerman
How many ‘must-use’ productivity hacks have you tried? And how many have worked? If you’re anything like me, you will have worked through A LOT of different time management strategies. And if you’re in the ‘why doesn’t this work for me?’ stage, this week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast is a must listen. I spoke to Reese Spykerman about taking back your time, and there are some incredible takeaways that I know will help you get more done in a way that feels good to you. Building a schedule that manages our energy is key to doing the repetitive tasks in our business - and we know that consistency is the key to success. In this episode we talk about: Why creating boundaries around our energy is the key to preserving it How to design something that works with you - not a method that you’ve been told works Why there’s nothing wrong with optimising and tweaking until a system is right for you Reese’s secret to schedule batching and how it compares to the task-based systems most people use Why task-switching drains most people's brains, and how batching helps you remain in a state of flow How to assign "themes" to days of the week to help you feel grounded and scale more sanely in your business A breakdown of her energetic assessment method to counteract what drains you and prioritise what lights you up (made by an introvert, FOR introverts!)

Episode 114: Mindset, Manifestation and Toxic Spirituality
This week on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast I’m addressing a topic that I’ve seen become pretty toxic in some circles online - the spiritual messages we see around creating a positive mindset, particularly related to manifestation. I’ve been practicing manifestation knowingly for 13 years, but had actually been doing it without realising for a lot longer! I 100% believe that your mindset is an extraordinarily powerful factor in your success as a business owner, but some of the ‘high vibes only’ messaging we see online can make you feel like you’re doing it ‘wrong’ (you’re not, by the way). In this episode I’m explaining how you can cultivate a positive mindset without the pressure to feel great 100% of the time. Tune in to listen to: Why manifestation is a lot more nuanced than just being ’high vibe’ Why it’s not actually possible to think positive thoughts 100% of the time (and why you’re not wrong for having a few negative ones!) The type of healthy mindset I encourage my clients to adopt How to address negative thoughts (and what to do after you’ve done that) What metacognition means in the context of cultivating a positive mindset The 3 things I always encourage my clients to do when they’re feeling more negative than positive CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 113: How to Speak and Stand Out as an Introvert with Laurie-Ann Murabito
One of the many misconceptions about being an introvert is that we’re all quiet and shy, but if you’ve listened to this podcast for a while you’ll KNOW that’s not the case. This week’s guest is proof that even if you do consider yourself as shy, that doesn’t need to be your identity forever! Laurie-Ann Murabito describes herself as a reformed painfully shy girl who accidentally became a professional speaker. One of the things I loved about our conversation is how Laurie-Ann uses stories to connect with her audience, and that’s something we can all implement straight away. In this episode we talk about: How speaking (like anything in business) is a muscle you need to exercise Why being a sensitive introvert means you already have the soft skills needed to speak, either 1:1 or to a larger group Why being more confident as a speaker means you can talk about your business in a more engaging way Why speaking is the key to building relationships, whether that’s on social media, in a small group or on a stage How having a simple process for speaking helps you build confidence, remove emotion and improve each and every time THIS WEEK’S GUEST: Laurie-Ann’s book recommendation: Soundtracks by John Acuff The book Emma-Louise mentioned: Presence by Patsy Rodenburg CONNECT WITH LAURIE-ANN: Website: https://www.SpeakAndStandOut.com LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurie-ann-murabito/ IG: https://www.Instagram.com/laurieann.murabito Podcast: Be In Demand with Laurie-Ann https://podfollow.com/1524969833 CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 112: Creating the 'Wrong' Business & the Importance of Profit with Megan Yelaney
The common narrative in the online space is all about growing your business - but what if you actually want to go the other way and scale DOWN? In today’s episode I’m going behind the business with coach Megan Yelaney. Megan helps her clients establish their unique brand voice in the online space using what Megan calls her ‘unique coaching method’. One of the reasons why I was so excited to talk to Megan is that the trajectory of her business probably isn’t what you expect. In fact she took a decision around the time of the pandemic to make huge changes in her business to both simplify the model and make it more sustainable. In this episode we talk about: How clarifying the reasons why she was in business led to Megan to make a big restructure Why she made the decision to make drastic cuts in her revenue How to create healthy boundaries when working as a coach The difference between revenue and profit (and why what you see online isn’t always what you think it is) Why simplicity in your business model can have an enormous impact on your happiness and profitability Why how much a coach earns shouldn’t be a deciding factor for you working with them THIS WEEK’S GUEST: Megan’s book recommendations: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday CONNECT WITH MEGAN: Website: www.meganyelaney.com The #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast: www.meganyelaney.com/podcast Instagram: www.instagram.com/meganyelaney Take Megan’s free unique coach approach quiz: www.meganyelaney.com/quiz CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 110: What ideal client actually means (& what it doesn’t)
In today’s solo episode I’m talking about something that on paper seems quite simple but in practice can be misunderstood, and that’s the concept of ‘ideal clients’. Like many of the topics I talk about on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast, the idea for this week’s episode came from a recent call I had with one of my own clients. I hope you find this behind the scenes conversation helpful for your own business, even if you think you’ve nailed the whole ‘ideal client’ thing already! In this episode I’m sharing: What an ideal client is NOT What an ideal client actually is (and what lens you might want to use when defining this) The 3 things that will help you determine whether a potential client is an ideal one Why you shouldn’t necessarily help everyone you are capable of helping Why being super clear on who your ideal client keeps you rooted in confidence CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 108: Make Your Message Synonymous with Your Name with Michelle Mazur, Ph.D.
Welcome to this week's episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast. You know you need it, but you might not know how to go about it - this week we’re talking all things messaging! I’m joined by Dr Michelle Mazur, who will help us not only demystify everything to do with messaging but also give us a really simple way of distilling it down and actually applying it to our own business. Are you sick of being the best-kept secret in your niche? Are you relying on referrals for clients? Do your social media posts get almost no engagement? Then this is the episode for you. WE WILL COVER: The jobs your messaging does Why you need a message thatʼs bigger than you and your business The two questions to ask yourself to find your 3-Word Rebellion, so that your name becomes synonymous with your message How your one-of-a-kind message can eliminate your competition and put you in a category of one Why almost no one can get their messaging right on their own (even Michelle!) Michelle created her "3-Word Rebellion" framework to help experts determine a one-of-a-kind message that's easy for audiences to remember and spread to their friends, so you can become well-known in your niche.

Episode 107: Help, I’m Overwhelmed with Woody Rini
This week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast will hit home with so many of you, because it’s based on a word that comes up with every single client I work with. It’s appeared on every single application I've ever had to work with me, and it's one that I use myself a lot, and that is - overwhelm. So I can't think of anyone better to speak to than Life Coach and Author Woody Rini. Woody is a life coach who specialises in getting people the helpful resources they need to live a meaningful and peaceful life. Woody has spent six years exploring how to get help with their personal challenges: Making therapy appointments, hiring life coaches, and reading every self-help book they could find. As a result of their research, Woody learned that the key to a peaceful and meaningful life was simple: Get more help from others!

Episode 106: Why Coaching is Hard (And what that’s Ok)
Welcome to this solo episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast, inspired by question a client asked me a few weeks ago: “Why does coaching sometimes feel amazing? And then it sometimes feels so hard?” And as someone that has coached a lot of clients and worked with many coaches myself, I completely understood what she meant! This feeling of coming off some calls feeling like I can conquer the world, and then leaving others feeling drained and a little bit despondent. So join me in this episode where I dive into why coaching can feel hard - and why that's okay! SUBJECTS I COVER What can happen during coaching (there people rarely discuss online) Why sometimes you might not feel aligned with what your coach is suggesting (but you may do later) Why a good coach helps you reach your potential CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkes/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 104: Business with a Human Touch with Sara Vartanian
This subject doesn't get enough air in the online space probably because everyone wants to talk about all those different things that will see immediate results and make money. So we see a lot of talks online about marketing, getting out there, and making sales.

It may have taken me two years to get around to this topic, but I have finally done it!

Episode 102: How to have trust that things are working (even when you haven’t seen results yet)
Building a business with an analytical mind that constantly craves evidence hand in hand with a culture of instant gratification can mean it is hard for us to believe that our strategy is working. It has left us all with serious trust issues! I have been over this many times with my clients. It has also affected me in the early stages of building my business! In this episode, I delve into the most common reasons business strategies fail, which might not be for the reasons you think! I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT How you can begin doing to trust your business strategy is working Practical methods you can build into your routine to help shift your mindset The secret way you can tap into other people’s success and leverage it for your own Steps you can take to train your brain to see that your strategy is working What can you do to prepare yourself for those times when self-doubt creeps in And the absolute truth around achieving a winning sales strategy CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.theambitiousintrovert.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 101: Growing your Business with YouTube with Jamar Diggs
We’re all unique, so it's important to consider different ways of marketing - and though I’m not big into video myself, today I’m diving into the benefits of YouTube for your business! Video isn't just Facebook lives, Reels and TikTok - there's a whole other world of longer form content out there that you can make work for your energy as an introvert. I chat with Jamar Diggs, a YouTube strategist and manager who helps online coaches, consultants and service providers use YouTube to funnel warm traffic to their offers, resulting in more sales to ideal clients. Plus Jamar helps digital CEOs, brands, and agencies actually rank on YouTube and Google searches, so they can stop being a slave to the Instagram content spiral. We’re covering: Choosing from the top 3 search engines when thinking about your marketing How introverts perceive the noise and uncertainty of social media How specific keywords and phrases will make it so much easier for people to find your content in searches Playing the long game when it comes to generating traction on YouTube (and why it’s so worth it) The 4 video strategy - the anchor video, shifting perspectives, combating objections and core values videos (and why they all matter) Managing our energy between our online and offline personas CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.theambitiousintrovert.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/introvertnetwork THIS WEEK’S GUEST Jamar’s book recommendation: You Are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero Connect with Jamar Website: https://www.jamardiggs.com/ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrEtwNZmOUbJSYzVpF3pYMw YouTube Funnel Fridays: https://www.jamardiggs.com/yff PREMIUM SUPPORT Interested in working with me 1:1?

Episode 100: Goal Setting Tips for Ambitious Introverts
Something I’ve seen over and over with my clients is a huge resistance to setting goals. There’s often a fear of not hitting them, and therefore ‘failing’ in their eyes. This brings up lots of emotions such as shame, and not being good enough. Which in turn leads to more resistance to set goals! But goals are a really important part of our growth - they focus our minds and keep us on the right track. I’m sharing some thoughts and observations from my 14 years of coaching that you can use to adapt your own goal setting routine. I’m diving into: SMART goals as a basis to start from Separating the belief that not hitting a goal = failure Extrinsic goals, and why the vanity metrics of thousands of followers and subscribers don’t keep us motivated Staying invested in our goals right until the end Scope creep’ and why constantly moving your goalposts is bad for your mindset How to avoid living in the gap between where you are and where you want to be (and focus on how far you’ve come instead) Why noting and celebrating small wins is the fastest way to larger ones CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: http://www.theambitiousintrovert.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/introvertnetwork PREMIUM SUPPORT Interested in working with me 1:1?

Episode 95: EFT 101 - Tapping into Your Potential With Brad Yates
We’re almost two years into the podcast and I can’t believe it’s taken this long to dedicate an episode to one of my favourite mindset and energy modalities, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). However I promise you it’s been worth the wait, as today I’m chatting all things tapping with everyone’s favourite “EFT Wizard” Brad Yates! Brad is known for his creative and often humorous use of EFT. He’s an internationally renowned expert, author and co-author, and has collaborated with names such as Dr. Joe Vitale and Jack Canfield. Brad has over 1000 videos on his YouTube channel, Tap With Brad, that have been viewed over 37 million times! We cover a whole array of tapping topics, including: How we are mind and body, and why the combination of NLP and EFT is so profound How peer-reviewed journals and scientific studies are showing the effectiveness of tapping (and proving the naysayers wrong) Why there’s more access to tapping now than ever before Balancing connecting to people online and connecting to others in real life (especially as a sensitive introvert) Why we self-sabotage (and why it’s actually misguided self-love) How the programming of negativity bias and fear of change affect us, and why it’s not our fault Brads tapping video https://vimeo.com/728877930 CONNECT WITH EMMA -LOUISE: Website: http://www.theambitiousintrovert.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambitiousintrovert/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ambitiousintrovert Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® Network THIS WEEK’S GUEST Brad Yates' Book recommendation - Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah Connect with Brad Tap with Brad - Live: Tap With Brad in London, August 27th Website: https://www.tapwithbrad.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tapwithbrad/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TapWithBrad FREE RESOURCES: Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 93: The Energetics of Branding and Design with Haylee LaRose
Today on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast we’re talking about all things design, aesthetic and HSP! My guest Haylee LaRose is an introvert, empath and highly sensitive brand and website designer, as well as reiki master. We’re discussing this from both perspectives: as an introvert/empath looking for people or brands to invest in, and as a business owner who is looking to express themselves more authentically through their own branding. Haylee shares why both energy and strategy are important to effectively connect with others and see results.

Welcome to the latest episode of the podcast! If you’re a long time listener, you know that social media is not something that comes naturally to me - it's probably the biggest stumbling block I've had as an introverted and HSP online entrepreneur. However, it now feels MUCH easier. After burnout forced me to change my mindset and knowledge around social media, I've been extremely consistent at posting for the best part of two years now. This has helped create a lot of revenue in my business, for which I am very grateful. So today I’m giving you some tips for navigating social media if you are more of a private entrepreneur - the same tips that helped me propel my own business forward. Topics Discussed: Why I believe it can be best to separate your business and personal accounts on social media How to tell the difference between your ego and your authentic self Why it’s important to know ‘what you always share’ and ‘what you never share’ on social media, and how this creates consistency My biggest tip for reframing your mindset and relationship with social media Visit this episode's blog post here .

Episode 73: Somatic Healing for Emotional Transformation with Manisha Tare
Welcome to this week's very special Valentine's episode of The Ambitious Introvert. I never thought that I would be doing a dedicated Valentine's Day episode, but the stars aligned and the timing was perfect. Today, I have invited Manisha Tare, a somatic healing practitioner, on to the show to share how much our nervous system impacts our daily communication, relationships, and life in general. I believe that we will only be as successful as our nervous system is willing to allow us to be, and as we know the way you do anything is the way you do everything. So when you start to prioritise yourself in your relationship, you will see growth in other areas of life - such as in business and other types of relationships. Listen to today’s episode with Manisha to find out how. Manisha and I discuss: How what’s happening in your nervous system can impact how you communicate Why it’s so important to have someone hold a safe space for you as you journey through somatic healing The importance of continued education, no matter which industry you may be in as a coach or business owner How Manisha uses astrology and Akashic Records to guide her clients through their emotional work The positive impact of somatic healing that Manisha has seen with her clients on their relationships and careers Visit this episode's blog post here: https://emmalouiseparkes.com/somatic-healing-for-emotional-transformation-with-manisha-tare/ Connect with Emma on Instagram: @ambitiousintrovert Connect with Manisha on Instagram: @manishatare CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: https://theambitiousintrovert.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmalouparkes/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkes Sign up to receive my monthly Introverts Only digest, delivering all the best introvert-friendly resources straight to your inbox, minus the scroll here .

Episode 51: Hacking Your Nervous System for Success
Today I’m going to talk less about business and more about the nervous system. Back in 2012 I was diagnosed with an auto-immune response to many different foods, so I began to look into different practices to help balance my nervous system.

Today I’m joined by Certified NASM Personal Trainer & Precision Nutrition Coach, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Master Mindset Coach Jaime Morocco. Jaime was overweight/obese for the first 18 years of her life and it truly consumed her - before one day she decided to do something about it. She took action, lost over 50 pounds and never looked back. Through the years she’s been able to maintain weight loss eating 2000+ calories a day while eating intuitively.

Episode 33: Pleasure, Profit & Permission to be Yourself with Julia Wells
In this episode I chat with Julia Wells (a.k.a. Julia Mother Effing Wells ) to talk running a pleasure based business and what that even means. Julia is a fellow introvert and first made the jump into entrepreneurship and coaching about 5 years ago and had zero clue as to what she was doing. She took courses, hired coaches, posted on social media, made offers and tried to sell yet, basically got nowhere. She eventually got sick of spending money on things that didn’t work and didn’t feel good and decided that she had to find what worked for her. She quickly realized that the thing that makes us innately female is the very thing missing in business that is robbing us of the income and impact we’re so longing to make.

Being visible has not always come easily to me which is part of the reason why I’m passionate about helping others with it now. I get into: The reason why I reluctantly joined Facebook My original resistance towards posting on Instagram and how I overcame it Why consistency and visibility go hand in hand How I overcame overwhelm when it came to showing up Starting with small increments and giving myself grace in order to avoid burnout How I’ll continue to get even more visible in 2021 If you are wanting more visibility in 2021, don’t hesitate to reach out.

In this episode I’m joined by Lesley Calvo, a mindset and business coach who helps women entrepreneurs go from self doubt to success in all areas of their lives. She is a licensed Life Coach and NLP Practitioner, as well as a Certified Hypnotherapist and Reiki Master but there’s so much more to her story than her certifications. Lesley and I discuss: Lesley’s personal transformation from feeling flat to fulfilled Why Lesley’s successes (including building a seven figure business in her twenties) don’t define WHO she is How previous experiences (personal and professional) and successes can aid in giving clients ‘permission’ to hire you Why we should share our imperfections Showing up vs showing off and how Lesley has overcome her fears of presenting herself (and doing it authentically) online How self doubt, anxiety & other very real fears DO NOT have to limit your success The importance of staying consistent and making your mindset work habitual Why your success probably won’t be linear (& why that’s completely ok!) Lesley has lived what many of her clients go through which makes her an excellent coach and mentor. She’s helped many women find clarity, self-mastery, and permission to live an unapologetically successful life in all areas and can help you do the same. “No matter how many times we burst into flames, we can always rise from the ashes.” Lesley’s Book Recommend for the Ambitious Introvert: The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership by Jim Dethmer Connect with Lesley: www.lesleycalvo.com https://www.instagram.com/iamlesley.calvo/ info@lesleycalvo.com Connect with me: www.emmalouiseparkes.com hello@emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: @emmalouparkes Facebook: @emmalouparkescoach Facebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert Network CONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: Website: https://theambitiousintrovert.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmalouparkes/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkes Sign up to receive my monthly Introverts Only digest, delivering all the best introvert-friendly resources straight to your inbox, minus the scroll <a href='https://thea
