This episode of the Creative Introvert Podcast is for anyone who is sick and tired of all the patronising, overly simplistic, overly complicated or just sappy self-help goop about CONFIDENCE. Confidence is a word that has been muddied by the likes of ‘confidence gurus’ and other extroverted self-help characters who I simply can’t relate to. Here’s […]
It only seems right that the first ‘proper’ episode of The Creative Introvert podcast covers the topic that started this whole Creative Introvert thing off. Here’s what I cover: What is introversion (really) How I discovered my introversion How knowing your personality type helps How knowing others personality types helps What are the introvert’s superpowers How […]
This episode of the Creative Introvert Podcast is for anyone who feels like they’ve tried ALL the things and still… nothing seems to be working. You’re not moving forward like you expected, you feel like you’re spinning your wheels and you may even be ready to throw in the towel. BUT WAIT! Before you do […]
About 3 years ago I subscribed to a podcast for the first time. I believe it was Balanced Bites – a couple of bubbly ladies chatting about living ‘the paleo life’ basically. From there, I expanded my taste in an array of podcasts (and foods for that matter) and today, I think I get in about […]
Violeta’s tweets have been a source of many a frantic-head-nodding at all hours of the day for me over my many months perusing the Twitter feed. And a personal fave… So naturally, I wanted to dig deeper into the mind that tweets up these little nuggets of digital brainfood. Interview with Creative Rebel: Violeta Nedkova Q1: What […]
If you hadn’t noticed… I’m an introvert. Introverts are not exactly known for their gift of the gab. Sure, we can hold a conversation when it’s an intimate tête-à-tête: a one to one with a friend or someone we feel comfortable with. But put us in a room full of people and ask us to […]
Why isn’t anyone buying anything? Or even reading my blog? Why is no one visiting my website? How many followers and likes and shares and comments do I need to actually… make some money? These are the questions I spent months agonising over when I first launched my pet portrait and apparel site, Catillest.com […]
I’m fighting the part of me that wants to indulge in sharing my entire 2016 breakdown : a review of the highs, the lows, my take on the political climate… But I can’t see that as being very useful to you. What I do think might be worthwhile is discussing this trend of setting ‘words’ […]
To clarify: the ‘C’ word I’m referring to is: CONFIDENCE. It’s a word that has been, for me, muddied with the likes of ‘confidence gurus’ and other extroverted characters I’ve never been able to relate to. When speaking to my coach about this confidence conundrum, he reminded me of the origin of the word: ‘confidence’ […]
What’s that sound? Oh that’s just me banging my head against the wall. Sigh. Whether you’re a freelancer, business owner, or creative hobbyist: when you’re not making any progress with your creative work, life can feel rather frustrating.
