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 developmentWhy simple and easy aren’t the same thingWhy it’s ok if you don’t know ‘exactly’ what to doIf you can tell you’re on trackMy thoughts about long term commitment to the process

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 importantHow to move through the fear that you’ll upset others by following your dreamsHow surrounding yourself with others like you can support and speed up the journeyThe type of personal development work both Ewelina and I love (and have both seen massive results from)

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!

The Art of Embracing 'No': How to Gamify Rejection with Alice Draper
How many times have you held yourself back from:
Applying for a promotionAsking for a payrisePitching yourself to a podcastOr 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!
