IMPOSTER SYNDROME & INTROVERTS

It’s time to come out of the closet.

I am an introvert…

I can almost hear those who knew me in the past going, "WTF are you on about, woman? A marketing ploy to capture the audience?"

Always the first one on the dance floor. Always the loudest one. 😊

Not anymore. She’s gone.

I’m not an extroverted introvert.

I am an introvert.

I love my own company.

I love podcasts. Loads of music or complete silence. Candles. Incense sticks.

I love sitting on the floor and just BEing. Like I am now, writing this love letter. Listening to Billie Eilish and eating Nutella from the jar. (I have some work to do on the healthy eating part...)

Or I love being with people who know me REALLY well. I’m very lucky to have a tribe of girlfriends who know all of me.

Loud places drain my energy.

Loud people drain my energy.

Not anyone's fault - that's just how I am built.

You won’t see me speaking in groups of new people. I observe. Unless I have something to say—then I say it.

If I’m interested in connecting with someone, I’ll do so one-on-one, because I want to get to know them. Their story. If they’re interested, we connect. If not, we don’t. Easy.

That’s why I LOVE 1-2-1 coaching work.

Are you my client yet? If not—what are you waiting for? Let's play.

And that’s why I love writing these love letters. It’s how I express myself easily. Dancing with the keyboard. Making love to the words.

I’m good with making videos, standing on stages giving talks, and having fun with workshops.

But as soon as I finish, I go home, close the door, put my old T-shirt on and recharge in silence.

Well, not complete silence—I talk to myself all the time. I coach myself all the time. Any other coaches out there doing the same?

WHY AM I TELLING YOU THIS?

Because many people struggling with Imposter Syndrome are introverts forcing themselves to be OUT THERE.

We feel the need to be seen, heard, validated, recognised by those around us.

So we play the game of pretending to be extroverts.

Very often, we start believing that we really are extroverts. We get so good at playing the game.

The masks often become very convincing.

Almost every single one of my high-achieving clients struggling with Imposter Syndrome is an introvert who’s become great at convincing others (and often themselves) that they love being the centre of attention.

If you recognise yourself in what I’m saying, I want to applaud you and tell you that you’re an incredibly strong human being.

You have my deepest admiration.

You are amazing.

You’ve conquered the survival method in this deep jungle called society.

AND

There is a better way for you to express yourself—if you’re ready to learn it.

"Simply" being YOU.

It takes a bit of courage to start with.

It’s not played out there in the jungle.

It’s played inside you.

You’re the main heroine/hero of that story.

It’s an incredibly empowering game that teaches you to love yourself, validate yourself, see yourself, hear yourself, KNOW yourself.

Without any masks.

It even allows you to be an INTROVERT if you’re one. I know. Wild...

I’m very good at putting you at ease, helping you allow yourself to be exactly who you are and gradually take yourself out there to the outside world.

Because that’s who you came into this world to be.

YOU.

You know what’s funny?

When I was a little girl, the thing I loved most was sitting in my room, listening to music, and writing.

I’m glad I’ve found my way back to myself!!

Let me help you find yours.

As always, my friends,

With so much LOVE,
