What’s one of the most common catchphrases of people who are stuck?“I need more clarity!”If I have more clarity, I will know what the next step is. I will know what to do, and I will know how to go about doing it.That’s what I thought and did for decades.Until I realized I’d got the order wrong.Clarity comes after you take action.It is only when we move towards our goal in faith, in trust, not in a passive way, but in an active, trusting way, faithful, full of faith, believing that magic can happen, that clarity reveals itself.We do ourselves a disservice when we need to have everything lined up in order, perfectly laid out in sequence so that we can step elegantly from one stepping stone to the next, because life is not linear and transformation is not linear It comes when we least expect it, but it also comes when we prepare for it. The important thing is to keep going, to keep discovering for yourself and keep exploring what else is out there. What can I learn today? Who can I be today? How do I want to show up today?And so there is this delicate dance that goes on between surrendering and trusting, and also taking inspired and consistent action every day.Here’s how I can support you further:Book a Quick Win coaching session and solve a specific problem in under an hourMeet fellow introverts for specially curated outings in and around Melbourne: Quiet Women Circle (women-only) and Introverts Around the WorldGet introvert inspiration on instagram: @serenalow_quietwarriorcoach Find out how I help quiet achievers grow into Quiet WarriorsThis episode was edited by Aura House Productions

Two ideas that have inspired Nancy:Have fun losing faceThere’s no shame showing my work if I’m doing a great jobNancy’s journey to being more outspokenCareer progression is seldom linearWhy is it that when put on the spot, the words don’t come?Introverts are deep thinkers and take extra time to process and prepare our responsesFear of being judged, fear of criticism - “Mental S.O.S.” Self-doubt / Impostor SyndromeOverthinking mistakes and failures and potential disastrous consequencesSelf-criticism - introverts criticize themselves before other critics doWhy psychological safety is essential for introverts How do we overcome the tendency to overthink and criticize ourselvesHow to counter the tendency to ask “What if?” and imagine the worst-case scenarioSay to yourself: So what? (e.g. so what if I flub the presentation? At least I learned something and next time I will do better)Ask yourself: Is it true? (e.g. will I lose my job because I flubbed the presentation? Highly unlikely)Being a perfectionist is not unique to introvertsHow can introverts be their authentic selves when speaking and communicatingMake sure you know your compelling why for speakingIntroverts can speak and inspire (Brene Brown)Desensitization: challenge yourself one step at a time, don’t scare yourselfPractise by yourself. Video yourself speaking on your phone about your chosen topic - listen to the recording (audio only) and observe your tonality and use of filler words. Then watch the video (without the audio) and notice your body language and what you can improvePractise with others (start with friends, then expand to strangers)Practise in real lifeFlipping “What if” to a positive reframe:What if I engage the audience really well?How do introverts speak up and get noticed in meetings at work?Prepare a question or commentVolunteer to be the minute-taker or timekeeperUse your body language to lean in to the table or the Zoom screenSpeak up as early as possibleReferences:Nancy Yang, The Nine Secrets of a Social and Confident IntrovertAbout Nancy Yang:Nancy helps introverts with Asian background communicate assertively with confidence and build a strong social network.Connect with Nancy:https://linktr.ee/nancyyangbizThis episode was edited by Aura House Productions

My guest for this episode was Natalia Walker, founder of Inner Creative.Here’s what I learned from our conversation:The truth: Every one of us is creative (not just children)!How to put less pressure on ourselves by changing our expectations of what being creative looks like.Natalia’s Creativity Mantra: “I’m open and willing to make mistakes. It doesn’t have to be perfect. I just have to show up and give it a go.”How to feel safe when putting your work out there: the importance of boundaries and containers.Self-reflection prompts to guide your creative journey: What space am I creating from: to please myself or to please others?What identity labels am I putting on myself?What do I love doing? When does time slow down? What makes me feel energized?How creativity helps you tap into your intuition and boost self-acceptance.Creativity is a muscle: the more we practise, the better we get.Creativity builds self-trust and the ability to let go.How to overcome inertia and get into the flow state.Small actions consistently taken over time always win over doing something big but sporadically.When we take time out for ourselves to do things that bring us joy, we give others permission to do the same.About Natalia Walker:Natalia provides accountability and mindset shift support to help you create a kinder and creative way of being. Her business Inner Creative is all about empowering you to harness your creativity and inner wisdom, so you can create a life or business that feels more inspired and authentic to you – to live and work to your fullest potential!Natalia’s website: https://innercreative.com.au/Natalia’s Instagram: https://innercreative.com.au/instagram/This episode was edited by Aura House Productions

If you’ve ever felt defeated by the blank page while trying to be creative, this episode is for you.Why is it so much harder for us as adults to be creative and playful compared to our children?When was the last time you felt truly relaxed, free, and unconscious of the need to get it right?When did you forget how to be playful and to have fun?Tune in for my tips on how to release the need for perfection and the incessant nagging of our inner critic.It’s time to reconnect to the part of you that knows how to express yourself authentically, who enjoys making things for the fun of it, who is not attached to the outcome.Here’s how I can support you further:Book a Quick Win coaching session to solve a specific problem in under an hourMeet fellow introverts for specially curated outings in Melbourne: Quiet Women Circle (women-only) and Introverts Around the WorldGet introvert-empowering tips on instagram: @serenalow_quietwarriorcoach This episode was edited by Aura House Productions

Do people tell you that you’re boring?Before being too quick to assume they are right (or wrong!), let’s use this as an opportunity to reflect.Does someone saying I’m boring make me boring?What does it mean to be boring?What makes someone interesting?Is it about getting out of the house more, having hobbies, doing fun and interesting things, meeting new people, learning a new skill?The key to being interesting is ENTHUSIASM.When you care enough about something, you will have something to say.Recognize when you’re in the wrong circles or conversations.You may feel bored and tune out of discussions because you’re not interested in what they’re talking about.Look for ways to tune in to discussions where you can make a contribution by listening, noticing, and remembering - all ways we activate our introvert strengths.Look for groups where your kindred spirits are more likely to gather.Remember that you are responsible for the energy you bring.Bring curiosity, bring fascination, bring a spirit of service.Here’s how I can support you further:Schedule a virtual coffee chat on LinkedInMeet fellow introverts for specially curated outings in Melbourne: Quiet Women Circle (women-only) and Introverts Around the WorldFind fellow introverts on facebook: Global Introvert Network Get introvert-empowering tips on instagram: @serenalow_quietwarriorcoach This episode was edited by Aura House Productions

Feedback is a word that can trigger the overthinker in us, whether we’re the one giving the feedback, or the one receiving it.Being asked to give feedback can feel like one more cognitive task to add to an already lengthy to-do list.But what if you could ask yourself a different question?Instead of “What’s in it for me?”, try putting yourself in the shoes of the person asking for the feedback, and ask “What’s in it for you?” I guarantee you’ll feel differently.Being on the receiving end of feedback, whether positive or negative, can be challenging for the overthinker, the overachiever, the introvert.We take negative feedback as if it’s a personal attack on our identity and values, which makes us feel discouraged, but then when the opposite happens and we are praised, we  doubt the sincerity of the one giving us positive feedback.There’s a better way: to find the magical place beyond right and wrong, to stay neutral and detached, and be comfortable noticing what is happening, without making up a story about it.Here’s how I can support you further:Schedule a virtual coffee chat on LinkedInMeet fellow introverts for outings in Melbourne: Quiet Women Circle (women-only) and Introverts Around the WorldFind fellow introverts on facebook: Global Introvert Network Get introvert-empowering tips on instagram: @serenalow_quietwarriorcoach This episode was edited by Aura House Productions

If you’re an introvert and/or highly sensitive person (HSP) and also a facilitator, trainer, or educator who works with groups, you may find yourself completely drained at the end of a day of delivering workshops and talking to people.How do you manage your energy reserves so you can bring your best when you’re at work?Here’s what I’ve learned:You are differently wired and there is nothing wrong with you for feeling drained.Prepare before the event by doing the internal work.Prioritize downtime after the event.Take time to integrate, acknowledge, and process what happened and what you learned.Release the need to control, judge, criticize, and make up stories.Release the charge and emotion that accumulates after a long day of being with people.Notice how you respond in the moment to uncertainty and the unplanned.Here’s how I can support you further:Schedule a virtual coffee chat on LinkedInMeet fellow introverts for outings in Melbourne: Quiet Women Circle (women-only) and Introverts Around the WorldFind fellow introverts on facebook: Global Introvert Network Get introvert-empowering tips on instagram: @serenalow_quietwarriorcoach This episode was edited by Aura House Productions

Is it possible to make small talk, meet new people, and network - as an introvert?Yes! You mean I don’t have to be extroverted?No!Episode highlights:Learn to do it your way, by honouring your values, energy and personality.When you start from the premise that there is nothing wrong with you and that you are simply wired differently, it becomes easier to do those things without depleting yourself or pretending to be someone you’re not.Be more of yourself, not less.There are two parts to this process. The first part is the “Doing”: what must I do  to get better at the skills of conversation, what to say, how to say it, when to say it. The other part is the inner work, the “Being”: creating the identity we want to hold in this season of life. Who am I? Who do I want to be? Who do I want to serve? What do I care most about? This is a lifelong journey that requires a good honest look at ourselves to develop clarity, because when we have clarity, we can start to express ourselves from a place of authenticity.Here’s how I can support you further whenever you're ready:Meet fellow introverts in Melbourne: Quiet Women Circle (women-only) and Introverts Around the WorldSchedule a virtual coffee on LinkedInFind fellow introverts on facebook: Global Introvert Network Follow my introvert journey on instagram: @serenalow_quietwarriorcoach This episode was edited by Aura House Productions
