Welcome to this week's episode of the Ambitious Introvert. Something I’ve learnt in my own personal development and self discovery journey is that there are so many different ways that we can understand ourselves. The more awareness and understanding that we heave helps us to better understand ourselves and give ourselves permission to be exactly who we are. With this said, I am a big fan and proponent of using numerology in life and business. So when I came across Jo Soley, owner of Bizology, I knew that I had to have her on the podcast. Today she’ll be sharing more about the practice and doing a live reading of my own numbers, enjoy!Jo and I discuss:How learning numerology helped Jo understand herself better and ignite her passion to help others A live session of my numerology reading and how I’m living in alignmentThe history of numerology and how it can show us who we are on a deeper levelHaving the confidence to own your woo, especially with those who don’t understandThe non-monetary results and changes Jo’s clients have seenVisit this episode's blog post here: https://emmalouiseparkes.com/numerology-for-business-success-with-jo-soley Connect with Emma-Louise on Instagram: @emmalouparkesConnect with Jo on Instagram: @josoleybizologyCONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE: 👉🏼 Join Introvert 2.0 this September - the small group mastermind created just for ambitious introverts like you 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?

On this week's episode of the podcast, I’m chatting to another epically successful ambitious introvert, Sabrina Philipp. Sabrina is one of the people that comes to mind when I think about what it means to have a ‘bulletproof mindset’ - and you’ll see why after hearing this conversation.
