Ep 222 How to Bite Back
Summary This is the episode I needed several times in my life but it didn't exist back then. In "How to Bite Back," I examine the common misconception that kindness is weakness. We introverts so often feel the pressure to people-please at the expense of our own well-being. In this episode I aim to empower listeners who identify as people-pleasers to hold boundaries both for self-care and to maintain healthy relationships. Being assertive is standing up for your rights and needs, whilst respecting the rights and needs of others. I share my ABC framework—Assertiveness, Bravery, Confidence - for we introverts to stand up for ourselves with poise and dignity, to bite back with kindness and transparency. Key Points Kindness isn't weakness; set boundaries. Assertiveness respects self and others. Communication involves listening and understanding. PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: What Type of Introvert are you?

Ep 221 The Gift of Showing Kindness to Others
Summary In this episode of The Flourishing Introvert Talks, I reach into the profound impact that kindness has on our lives and those around us. As an introvert myself, I understand how misconceptions can paint a skewed picture of who we are. This episode is about championing kindness over meanness, because it's not only beneficial to others but also enriches our own lives. In my view, kindness acts like a pebble thrown into water, creating ripples that extend far beyond the initial splash. The Batari’s Box model shows us how our behaviour influences others and vice versa—choosing kindness can change the course of interactions for the better. Remember, responding with compassion isn't a weakness; it's a powerful choice backed by social psychology principles such as reciprocity and cooperation. By embracing kindness, we contribute to better world while nurturing our emotional intelligence. Key Points Kindness creates positive ripple effects Kindness is not the weak option Responding with compassion is empowering for both parties PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: What Type of Introvert are you?

Ep 220 Is It Time To Be Kinder To Yourself
Summary Now, this one is a topic close to my heart: self-kindness. This episode is me allowing myself to share my personal reflection on the power of adopting intentional practice of self-compassion to lead a more fulfilling existence. I have committed to not judge myself if today's best is not as good as yesterday's best. As an (open) introvert myself, I understand the challenges we introverts face in honouring our own needs and boundaries. Hence being kinder to ourselves is very important for us. By challenging limiting beliefs and affirming our worth through positive self-talk and actions aligned with our goals, we as introverts can thrive in serenity and confidence.

Ep 219 So You’re An Introvert – Now What
Summary Being an Open Introvert myself and not discovering that until my 30s, in this episode I venture into a topic that hits close to home for we introverts - discovering your introversion later in life. I discuss how this realisation can be pivotal in enabling us to understand our introversion better and use the natural strengths it holds for us. The primary goal from this episode is simple - for we introverts to recognise and celebrate our introversion so we can build our careers and lives our life authentically. By acknowledging our introversion we introverts can begin to make choices that honour our needs and respects our boundaries. Key Points: Let not the late discovery of introversion be our weakness, but our strength. Introversion is not a flaw but a distinct temperament.

Ep 218 The Majesty of Quiet Presence
Summary In this episode, I explore the nuanced world where introversion meets presence. We often misconstrue presence as an attribute reserved for the extraverts and gregarious, but that's a myth I am eager to debunk. With Caroline McHugh's concept of 'interiority' guiding us, I talk about what it means for introverts to cultivate a genuine sense of self in both personal and professional realms. True presence isn't about volume; it’s about value. We introverts have unique strengths such as deep thoughtfulness, empathy, and a reflective approach to leadership that can be equally commanding. By focusing on confidence building rooted in self-awareness, honing communication skills tailored to our listening abilities, maintaining composure under pressure, and preparing meticulously for engagements where we need to shine—we too can command respect effectively.

Summary In this episode I delve into the complex web of Limiting Beliefs and Gaslighting. I explore the intricate relationship of self-imposed constraints that hold us back from reaching our full potential. Drawing from recent episode of Flourishing Voices, my LinkedIn Audio event and my own experiences, I highlight how these limiting beliefs often lurk beneath the surface, subtly undermining our confidence and aspirations. In this episode I continue with recognising how external influences can exacerbate this issue through psychological manipulation or gaslighting - leading individuals to question their capabilities and worth. It is however by making intentional choice to develop a flourishing mindset, we empower ourselves to lead lives unshackled by doubt or fear instilled by others or from within.
