Being an Introvert in an Extrovert Marketing World
Today, we're diving into a topic that's near and dear to my heart: Introverts vs. Extroverts. As most of you know, I'm an introvert myself, so this episode is for all of you who might feel like you're navigating an extroverted marketing world. First off, let's clear up some misconceptions. When people think of introverts, they often picture someone who's shy, meek, or submissive. For extroverts, it's often outgoing, steamrolling, or abrasive. But honestly, these are just stereotypes I found on the internet. The real difference? It’s all about how we get our energy: Introverts recharge by spending time alone or in quiet, low-stimulus environments. Extroverts gain energy from being around other people, especially in lively, dynamic settings. How to Know Where You Stand If you’re not sure whether you’re an introvert or extrovert (or maybe somewhere in between), I highly recommend taking the Myers-Briggs 16 Personalities test. It’s free and super insightful. You might discover you're an INTJ like me, which means you're an introvert who loves strategic thinking and planning. Being an Introvert in an Extroverted Marketing World So, how can you thrive as an introvert in a world that often feels like it's made for extroverts? Here what we talk about in the episode: How to leverage your deep thinking in strategy and connecting ideas. When your observation skills can help you understand your audience better. Find your strengths and shining where you excel. Tips on outreach that would suit your introversion better. What to consider when stretching your skills. Remember, being an introvert is a superpower – you have a quiet power and thoughtfulness that can make a huge impact. So, lean into that, sharpen your skills, and don’t be afraid to show up for your business in your own unique way. Thanks for tuning in, and I can’t wait to hear how you’re thriving as an introvert in an extrovert’s world!

A Year Later of Slowing Down
It's my birthday this week! I'm *hitting* mid-life, mid-year bday vibes and it's making me feel reflective in a powerful way. In this episode, I talk to you in-depth about: How I've personally felt the change since slowing down a year ago and getting out of the "chase" mentality. My first question I ask myself when walking into a new season/microseason, such as my "Summer Sabbatical". How I overcame my feelings of ego and fomo, which felt so hard. What "priorities" really mean and how you can narrow in on yours. Why my next season in the Fall is themed "oversharing" and I'm hoping it gives you some inspiration. Please don't forget to leave me a podcast review, it would make me so happy for my bday. 🎉 Thank you!!!

A Not-So-Average Life
When you think about 'most people', most people are living an average life doing a bit more than the bare minimum. Going beyond that can feel daunting or out of reach. IT'S NOT. This episode will give you a new frame of reference. Minna shares with you statistics of the average people and here's the big conclusion: the average person is NOT great at taking care of themselves. If you do that: pour into yourself and you are already above average. It's all about starting here and seeing your progress. -- 🦋 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and to share the podcast – you definitely deserve a reward. So, I created 'Transformation Butterflies' to send to you in the mail. (I often have used the butterfly as a sign. A sign that I'm on the right track and that there are a billion beautiful things out there in the world.) These are oversized, premium butterfly bookmarks – they represent a new chapter that awaits and a reminder that small shifts can create a butterfly effect. (These will get mailed out to you with absolutely no cost to you.) Grateful for you and excited to send some good luck and good fortune to you by way of butterflies. Check it out here. -- 📚 🎉 For all my fellow avid readers out there, a book journal with a 52-week book challenge and more. Check it out here: Book Lover Journal in Pink here on Amazon.
