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. Tune in to learn more!

Episode 213: Meet My Clients: The Psychology Behind Big Change with Meg Trucano Ph.D 41:21

לפני 6 ימים41:21

41:21

Have you ever felt trapped in a life that looks great on paper but leaves you feeling unfulfilled? Making a major change can feel terrifying - but what if fear isn’t a stop sign, but a signal that you're on the right path? My guest on this episode of The Ambitious Introvert® is Meg Trucano Ph.D. - a developmental psychologist and confidence coach who helps ambitious women navigate major life and career changes. After spending 15+ years leading high-profile research for U.S. government agencies, she experienced burnout and realized external success didn’t equal fulfillment. Now, she empowers women to reclaim their time, energy, and self-trust while building careers and lives that align with their true desires. Meg shares her personal journey from high-achieving corporate leader to entrepreneur, breaking down the misconceptions around life transitions and what it really takes to make a big change. We also dive into the psychology of flow states, outdated work narratives, and how simplifying your approach to success can lead to more energy and fulfillment. Meg is also a private client of mine, so we also dive into the changes she’s seen as an introvert working with an introvert-specific coach! Big career changes can feel terrifying - but courage is acting despite fear Flow happens when skill meets challenge, and more flow may lead to more success The outdated work beliefs that are keeping us stuck Success isn’t one-size-fits-all - if fact, Meg found more impact (and energy) by focusing on only what actually worked for her. Forget perfect plans - just take the next step. Spoiler alert - clarity comes from action, not overthinking. If you’ve ever doubted whether you’re ready to make a change, this episode is for you.

Episode 212: How to Build a Braver Life (and Team) with Jim Moorhead 33:18

לפני 20 ימים33:18

33:18

Have you ever thought bravery was something some people were just born with? That it only shows up during a crisis - or that it's not really relevant to your everyday life or work? My guest on this episode of The Ambitious Introvert® is here to challenge all of that! Jim Moorhead is a keynote speaker, bestselling author, and trusted advisor to Fortune 500 companies. Drawing from his background as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, investment banker at Goldman Sachs, and law firm partner, he’s developed a powerful framework for building and modeling bravery - both personally and organizationally. His book, The Instant Survivor: Right Ways to Respond When Things Go Wrong , is a go-to guide for responding to adversity with grounded, intentional action. In this episode, Jim breaks down the biggest myths around bravery, how leaders and teams can cultivate it (yes, it’s learnable!), and why consistent small brave actions matter far more than one-off heroics. Whether you’re leading a business, working in a team, or simply trying to show up more fully for yourself, you’ll take something away from this conversation. Tune in to hear: Bravery isn’t innate - it’s a skill you can build over time Misconceptions about bravery that are holding people and companies back How companies that talk about, model, and reward bravery create space for innovation Why naming and celebrating bravery helps reinforce it across teams and cultures Ways to be brave every single day - no crisis required! If you've ever told yourself you're "just not brave", this episode is your invitation to rethink that entirely.

Burnout is shifting - it’s not just exhaustion anymore, but overworking to the point of depletion. In this episode, I talk to Maegan Megginson, a Business Mentor, Licensed Therapist, and host of Deeply Rested , to unpack what burnout really looks like today and why high achievers (especially introverts and highly sensitive people) may be more susceptible to it.

Plus, Maegan shares her personal burnout and recovery journey, offering insights, strategies, and a sensitive introvert’s perspective on success, rest, and resilience. Tune in to hear: How burnout symptoms are changing - why overwork, not just exhaustion, is the new red flag The financial cost of burnout - how it’s costing companies millions per year The trauma response link to burnout - why some people (especially HSPs & introverts) are more vulnerable How to untangle burnout from capitalism & patriarchal conditioning - so you can redefine success on your own terms Why connecting with nature can help combat burnout - and how to align your work and life with natural rhythms If you’ve ever felt trapped in the cycle of pushing, striving, and overworking - this episode is a must-listen. Maegan brings a holistic approach to success that prioritizes rest, alignment, and breaking free from societal burnout traps. 🎧 Grab your headphones, take a deep breath, and let’s dive in!

Episode 207: Stop Being So Mean to Yourself! Time to Rethink Your Self Talk 41:22

לפני 13 weeks41:22

41:22

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!

This relatable and practical guide shows introverts how they can build thriving, joyful businesses without being loud or bold.

What You’ll Learn: How even short periods of coaching can create lasting mindset shifts that impact your business and life The importance of working in your zone of genius to increase revenue, reduce burnout, and find joy in your work The one thing I had Nicole do when she was my client that she hated (but has seen the benefit of for 3 years now!)

In this week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast, I’m diving into a topic that sparked a surprising amount of interest—my decision to go sugar-free for September! A brief mention in my newsletter about losing 2 kilos while doing it led to an influx of questions: Why did I do it? How did I stay on track? And was it difficult? But this episode isn’t about sugar itself—it’s about the mindset and strategy behind successfully making any significant change in your life, especially through a 30-day challenge. Whether you’re looking to add a new habit or eliminate an old one, I’m sharing the 5 exact steps I use to make any 30-day challenge successful. Tune in to hear me share: - The power of keeping it simple - why overcomplicating your goals leads to failure - How giving your change a catchy name (like "Sugar-Free September") makes it stick - The importance of telling others, and the 3 benefits that can come from going public on your plans - Why preparation is key to sticking with a new habit - or breaking an old one - How adopting the identity of someone who has already succeeded helps you stay motivated These strategies have helped me navigate not just sugar-free months, but also caffeine-free stretches, daily yoga, personal development practices, consistently marketing my business and more. If you’ve been thinking about making a change, especially with the New Year on the horizon, this episode will give you a roadmap for success!
