The Year of Fun… week one is down! So did I stick to my fun guns?? Well, yes… but let’s never call them ‘fun guns’ again. As you may remember, the first fun activity I picked from my jar of fun was ‘go to a Nomunication.’ Now, a ‘nomunication’ is basically an event that a […]
In this week’s episode of the Creative Introvert podcast I talk to Morra Aarons-Mele, the founder of award-winning digital agency Women Online and its database of women influencers, The Mission List. Morra is the author of Hiding in the Bathroom: An Introvert’s Roadmap to Getting Out There (When You’d Rather Stay Home) which really spoke […]
What is this year of fun? As someone who is obsessed with goal seting, actionable plans and productivity… this year i have decided to do things a bit differently. To try to balance out my type a, INTJ personality, I figured I could choose fun as my one overall theme for 2018. I’ll admit: this […]
The grand finale of the Self-Knowledge mini-series! To end, I’m asking you the deceptively simple question: what do you want? It’s easy to go through life without really answering this question. Of course, we can answer specifics: like what do you want to order from a restaurant. Or you can be tempted to answer through […]
Again, we’re looking to Carl G. Jung for the answers on today’s 9th + penultimate episode in the Self-Knowledge mini series. This is, naturally, going to be more of a woo-woo episode, partly because this area of psychology, in fact the entire branch of Jungian or analytic psychotherapy is grounded in theory, not hard science.

The concept that we all, by our nature, approach tasks and accomplishing things differently actually came as a bit of a surprise to me. l figured the kids I went to school with who left their homework till the last minute or often arrived late to class, were just… naughty. Like, they must hate school […]
If you tuned in to the Creative Introvert podcast last week, you’ll have heard me give my top tips and tools for goal accomplishment, with a focus on the inner work: the stuff that bubbles up in our minds, our hearts our bellies. But there is one more piece to the puzzle, and this is […]
I should point out that whether you’re an introvert or not, the way you are affected by your environment still varies a lot between person to person. And you might remember the episode in this series in which I described High Sensitivity – if you’re a HSP, you’ll likely be more affected by lights and […]
Let’s start with Carl Jung, grandaddy of Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. He’s responsible for much of this series, because of his theories on psychological types. He introduced three areas or preferences, each of which are dichotomies: as in there are two ends of a pole, and your preference lies somewhere along […]
The concept of doing what you love and following your passion has gotten a bit of a bad rap in recent years, and I guess before I launch into this episode I should probably address that side of the fence first. Cal Newport would be the first person I think of touting the idea that […]
