The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast

Welcome to the latest episode of the podcast! If you’re a long time listener, you know that social media is not something that comes naturally to me - it's probably the biggest stumbling block I've had as an introverted and HSP online entrepreneur. However, it now feels MUCH easier. After burnout forced me to change my mindset and knowledge around social media, I've been extremely consistent at posting for the best part of two years now. This has helped create a lot of revenue in my business, for which I am very grateful. So today I’m giving you some tips for navigating social media if you are more of a private entrepreneur - the same tips that helped me propel my own business forward.Topics Discussed:Why I believe it can be best to separate your business and personal accounts on social media How to tell the difference between your ego and your authentic selfWhy it’s important to know ‘what you always share’ and ‘what you never share’ on social media, and how this creates consistencyMy biggest tip for reframing your mindset and relationship with social mediaVisit this episode's blog post here.Connect with Emma-Louise on Instagram: @ambitiousintrovertCONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE:Website: https://theambitiousintrovert.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmalouparkes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkesSign up to receive my monthly Introverts Only digest, delivering all the best introvert-friendly resources straight to your inbox, minus the scroll here.PREMIUM SUPPORT: Interested in working with me 1:1?

Welcome to this week's very special Valentine's episode of The Ambitious Introvert. I never thought that I would be doing a dedicated Valentine's Day episode, but the stars aligned and the timing was perfect. Today, I have invited Manisha Tare, a somatic healing practitioner, on to the show to share how much our nervous system impacts our daily communication, relationships, and life in general. I believe that we will only be as successful as our nervous system is willing to allow us to be, and as we know the way you do anything is the way you do everything. So when you start to prioritise yourself in your relationship, you will see growth in other areas of life - such as in business and other types of relationships. Listen to today’s episode with Manisha to find out how.Manisha and I discuss:How what’s happening in your nervous system can impact how you communicateWhy it’s so important to have someone hold a safe space for you as you journey through somatic healing The importance of continued education, no matter which industry you may be in as a coach or business ownerHow Manisha uses astrology and Akashic Records to guide her clients through their emotional workThe positive impact of somatic healing that Manisha has seen with her clients on their relationships and careersVisit this episode's blog post here: https://emmalouiseparkes.com/somatic-healing-for-emotional-transformation-with-manisha-tare/ Connect with Emma on Instagram: @ambitiousintrovertConnect with Manisha on Instagram: @manishatareCONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE:Website: https://theambitiousintrovert.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmalouparkes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkesSign up to receive my monthly Introverts Only digest, delivering all the best introvert-friendly resources straight to your inbox, minus the scroll here.PREMIUM SUPPORT: Interested in working with me 1:1?

Welcome to this week's episode of the Ambitious Introvert! Today, Sarah Anderson is joining us to talk about email marketing. I’m surprised we haven’t covered it because email marketing is something that's been really important to my business success, but is something that I didn't utilise very well at the start. Now however, I cannot imagine my business without it! So I'm excited to bring email marketing to the forefront as a tool of introvert friendly marketing as well.
