Accessing Your Intuition with Donna Rowe
Monday Aug 06, 2012
Monday Aug 06, 2012
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 to recognize and cultivate energetic boundaries. When we’re put into challenging situations – whether it’s networking events or family reunions – it’s possible to create your own energetic boundaries that allow you to both be present for others while protecting your core. This podcast features a special treat: my guest, Donna Rowe, is an intuitive and spiritual mentor, as well as a transformational coach. Donna leads us through a 10-minute meditation exercise that you can use anytime you want to generate calm and clarity.

The Art + Science of Managing Your Energy with Kathryn Hunter
Monday Jan 16, 2012
Monday Jan 16, 2012
There's a marvelous quote by Martha Graham, simple in its truth. She says, "The body never lies." Over the years, I've noticed that one of the ways my introversion shows itself most strongly is that I live in my head. That means that I can sometimes ignore what my body is telling me, which can lead to all sorts of trouble. The trouble is usually around my energy management - or lack thereof. Introverts are especially aware of their energy, since it's a valuable currency that's frequently expended in the normal business of living in a highly social world. This podcast interview focuses on how we can increase our energy awareness and listen to our body's truth more closely. Kathryn Hunter is an introvert and an artist who, upon realizing the small size of the box she had created for her life, began chronicling the trials, successes and failures of stretching her comfort zone. Kathryn and I talk about how that all happened, plus
- The easy way to protect your precious energy
- How to turn anxiety into adventure
- One simple question that will shift your attitude
- The importance of "mental resets"
- Simple back-to-basics steps that will bring you energy and productivity

Friday Dec 09, 2011
For some of us, putting ourselves in a situation where we have to reveal our dreams, fears and triumphs to our peers is taking a huge risk, even if we value the learning that might result. It's incredibly important to feel safe if we're going to share what we usually keep inside, especially regarding our entrepreneurial aspirations. In today's podcast, Cheri Ruskus of Victory Circles introduces us to a tool - the mastermind process - that provides a powerful way to create that safety so that you can make meaningful connections with others while strengthening your business. We learn how to tap into the wisdom of almost a century ago, when Napoleon Hill formulated the principles that have lead millions to success. Cheri shares how she developed her business around these principles and how they can be particularly supportive to introvert entrepreneurs. We learn about
- How a spirit of collaboration can bring you answers to the toughest challenges
- The best practices of thriving mastermind groups
- What can derail even the best intentions
- The benefits of mastermind principles on all of your relationships

We also talk about Sven’s discovery that he’s more in touch with his introvert side than he thought, and how that influences his networking and community involvement.
Also discussed:
- His key to juggling multiple commitments (he's one busy entrepreneur!)
- How networking can be more enjoyable and actually energize you

One of the keys to a happy life is understanding and accepting who you are, and learning to create the life you love based on that understanding. As we’ve talked about many times on this podcast, introverts have an enormous capacity for success when they recognize and strengthen their best traits. My guest today is a perfect example of what can manifest when an introverted heart and mind is driven by courage, love and creativity. Dr. Susan Biali is an award-winning medical doctor, media wellness expert, author, speaker, life coach and professional flamenco dancer. She lives to help you discover yourself, create vibrant health, and design a life that you absolutely love. Formerly a sick, depressed Emergency Medicine resident, Dr. Biali took back her own life and health by learning how to balance her life, listen to her body, and create a life truly worth living. Today, her greatest passion is helping free others to do the same. Her bestselling new book, "Live a Life You Love: 7 Steps to a Healthier, Happier, More Passionate You", was released by New York's Beaufort Books in March 2010. During our wide-ranging conversation, we start out by talking about what it means to be an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) Introvert and how it affects our relationships, both with ourselves and others. We also spend time on
- The importance of compassion to living a happy, healthy life
- What role tension plays in moving you forward toward your goals
