This week I’m joined on the podcast by Julia DeWolfe, talking all things cycle-syncing. Julia is a certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy practitioner, Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner, and Trauma Informed Life Coach. She works with her clients to view the whole picture of themselves and to optimise their unique hormonal cycle, helping them prioritise their true wellness, rather than hustling to earn their existence. Cycle-syncing is all about understanding and having a radical acceptance of your motivational cycles and how to honour them. After 4 years in business I love to explore ways to refine and optimise how I feel and perform, and cycle-synching is something I recommend to all my female clients.Tune in to find out:Your hormonal cycle, and the predictable stages that impact your energy and mood throughout the monthHow embracing your cycle can feel incredibly liberatingThe 4 main parts of your cycle, and what happens in your body and mind during each stageThe types of work that are well-suited to the different stages of your cycleHow you can reliably track your cycleSynthetic hormones, and how they impact cycle-synchingCONNECT WITH JULIAwww.juliadewolfecoaching.com www.instagram.com/juliadewolfecoaching JULIA’S BOOK RECOMMENDATIONSThe Period Repair Manual by Lara BridenBeyond The Pill by Jolene BrightenThe Hormone Repair Manual by Lara BridenThe Dutch House by Ann PatchettThe Oura RingCONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISEWebsite: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkesFacebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® NetworkJoin the email list hereTHE QUIET POWER MASTERMINDIf you’re looking to scale your business or perhaps you’re close to being fully booked, The Quiet Power Mastermind could be for you.

On this week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast I’m joined by the lovely Ellie Swift. Ellie is a business coach and mastermind mentor, and her zone of genius is helping her clients shine online. I invited Ellie to share her experience of running masterminds, not only because she does it extremely successfully, but also because she started hers without having ever been in one! The fact Ellie didn’t have any preconceived ideas of how a group programme would look allowed her to create a mastermind model that suited her uniqueness, while still providing the excellent value and support she did as a 1:1 coach.Tune in to find out:Why Ellie left her successful corporate career shortly after reaching her goal of becoming the Head of Marketing.How she went from working with 27 clients on a 1:1 basis (!) to exploring an alternative that required less time in front of the screenThe mindset hurdles that came up when she Ellie first transitioned to a mastermind modelHow Ellie ensured she could still provide excellent value and a supportive experience for her mastermind clientsThe small but mighty team she has to support herThe biggest shift in her mindset that Ellie needed to adopt to get to where she is todayCONNECT WITH ELLIE:The Swiftmind Mastermind: https://ellieswift.com/swiftmind/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elliehswift/Website: https://ellieswift.com/ Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/shineonsocialellieswift/ ELLIE’S BOOK RECOMMENDATIONWe Should all be Millionaires by Rachel RodgersCONNECT WITH EMMA-LOUISE:Website: http://www.emmalouiseparkes.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmalouparkesFacebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert® NetworkPREMIUM SUPPORT Interested in working with me 1:1?

On this week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert Podcast® I’m joined by Suzie Agelopoulos. Suzie is an AirBnB coach and business mentor - in a nutshell, she helps people make money with AirBnB!Suzie is definitely more on the extrovert end of the scale, but I really wanted to share her story with you because she’s quite literally turned her passion for travel into a (very) profitable business. Suzie also made decisions and investments without truly knowing if that money would make its way back to her (or when), but she has exercised her trust muscle since starting out, and she prioritises her mindset practice - these two things have allowed her to scale rapidly and find amazing success doing what she loves!Tune in to find out:How Suzie ‘gave in’ to her passions and decided to build her business around her passion for travel (rather than what she thought she should be doing)How she found the online business world at 35 and randomly stumbled across AirBnB while she was in BaliWhy you don’t need to have a fixed end goal in mind when you’re starting a business (and why she doesn’t believe in yearly plans)The importance of trusting yourselfSuzie’s mindset routine, and why she keeps the timing of it flexibleWhat Suzie has planned for 2023 (and why too many things will impact your freedom!)THE AMBITIOUS INTROVERT® ACADEMYThe doors to The Academy are open!

If you’ve been online in the past couple of months, you’ll have seen someone talking about ChatGPT. There’s a divide between people who are raving fans vs. others who are worried about what it means for creativity - so I thought the tool would be the perfect topic to talk about in this week’s episode.Wherever you land on the ChatGPT debate, it’s safe to say that the tool itself and AI in general isn’t going away anytime soon! In fact, it’s only going to become more prevalent. But does that mean you’ll no longer need to write a single thing in your business? No! But it could save you a lot of time.Tune in to find out:An exciting milestone for the podcast (and why I was completely fine knowing the podcast would be a slow burner)What ChatGPT actually is (in its own words!) and how it worksThe pros of using ChatGPT from an introvert’s perspectiveThe potential cons of ChatGPT5 ways I’m using it at The Ambitious Introvert, and how I’ve felt while testing it outWhat I really think about ChatGPT in terms of writing your contentTHE AMBITIOUS INTROVERT ACADEMY®The doors to the Academy are open!
