Let’s Just Kiss and Say Goodbye: The Art of Letting Go
"I don't know what happened. We just grew apart, I guess." *Sigh* How many times have you said this about a relationship? It doesn't matter if we're talking about a friend, lover, co-worker, mentor or family member. When relationships seem to fade, evaporate or otherwise disappear, we're sometimes left with a lingering despair. We wonder, "Was it something I said?" We can't even retrace our … [Read more...]
Dreaming for Introverts: A Special Conversation with Betsy Talbot
One of my favorite parts of being an entrepreneur is that I regularly meet people who have amazing dreams. They pour their heart and soul into bringing those dreams to life, regardless of naysayers or fears. It's not that they don't experience fear, or feel dinged by the naysayers - they just move through them in service to their dream. Betsy Talbot of Married With Luggage is one of those people. … [Read more...]
The Traveling Introvert with Stephanie Yoder
Over the years, I’ve discovered how much fun it is to travel to new places. They don’t even have to be exotic, just simply places I’ve never been. And what about travel and the introvert? Taking a trip with someone is one of the fastest ways to learn about yourself and your relationship. How do you manage your need for alone time when you’re with someone 24/7? And how do you create an experience … [Read more...]
Accessing Your Intuition with Donna Rowe
When you hear the word "intuition," what comes to mind? For many, intuition is thought to be a gift reserved for psychics, the highly sensitive or "woo-woo" people. You either have it or you don't. The truth is that we all have intuition, and we rely on it every day in ways we may not know about. Intuition is also a key component of self-awareness. This is useful to introverts because it helps us … [Read more...]

Quiet: The Power of Introverts with Susan Cain
When people hear the word "introvert," they almost always think "shy," or picture someone with his nose buried in a book, or with noise-cancelling headphones as her constant companion. And it's true - we do like our solitude. We not only like it, we need it. But on the other hand, if we're called to bring an important message to the world, we're almost required to balance that solitude with … [Read more...]
Confessions of an Indulgent Introvert
In November 2010, I wrote a prescient blog post entitled, "The Dangers of Being Home Alone." My main point was that while I was working from home and technically "alone," I was rarely alone with my thoughts because I was almost never unplugged, never disconnected. Part of me also felt that working from home alone was not the most productive place to be. However, my introvert self LOVED it … [Read more...]
Finding the Athlete Within with Mike Margolies
For this first podcast of the new year, I'm going to share with you an interview I did back in the fall of 2011 but saved for now because the timing works so well. Maybe you're among the millions of people who use the new year as a catalyst to make some sort of resolution about their physical health, whether it's to be more active or take up a sport, or to learn how to relax and not go full … [Read more...]
Life Lessons from the Lake
There's a phenomenon that happens with many fresh water lakes a few times a year called "lake turnover." Without getting into the details (you can read one of the more simple explanations I found here), it's a process that happens when the surface water reaches a certain temperature (39.2 degrees F to be exact) and becomes denser and heavier than the water under it. That top layer sinks and … [Read more...]
