#98: Things you downplay, but leadership notices
Some of the things you shrug off as “just doing my job” are the exact things leadership notices. It’s time you start giving them credit for what they are: quiet power moves.In this episode, I’m sharing 5 quiet flexes almost every introvert has but overlooks. The ones that feel tedious, admin-y, “early career,” obviously not what’s going to put you on the map, until they do.This isn’t about bragging louder or faking confidence. It’s about naming what’s already true… and refusing to let it stay invisible.✨ Quietly obsessed? Leave a 5-star rating so more people can find us.💌 Have a thought? DM me: @awfullyquietpodcast

#97: For when you don’t get the role
We all love the idea that everything works in our favor. But let’s be honest: it doesn’t always feel that way. Doors close, plans unravel, and sometimes the role you wanted goes to someone who makes you roll your eyes.In this episode, I offer a gentler reframe: that favor isn’t about always getting what you want, but learning to trust what unfolds when you don’t.✨ quietly obsessed? leave a 5-star rating so more people can find us💌 have a thought?

#96: Quiet ways to slay your next meeting
This episode is meeting gold for the quiet and introspective. If you keep being told you need to “speak up more” in meetings but hate the idea of cutting people off or forcing yourself to jump in, this is your quiet playbook to slay your next one.Showing up at work isn’t about being loud — it’s about knowing when and how to show up. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what to do before, during, and after a meeting to get invited into the conversation, share your perspective naturally, and be remembered — without pretending to be a loud extrovert.These are small, strategic moves that make your contributions impossible to miss without changing your personality. They’re simple, repeatable, and (honestly) wildly underused. Whether you want to make a point that lands, have your ideas stick after the meeting, or finally get credit for the work you’re doing, this is your subtle, non-cringe guide to running the room in your own way.Quietly obsessed?

#95: The front row girlie + the quiet one
What do high-energy spin classes and introverts have in common? They both want out of the box they’ve been put in.You probably know me as calm. Thoughtful. Subtle.The one who writes those quietly intense carousels. The one who takes her time before speaking. Grounded. Measured. Deliberate. (At least, I hope.)And then there’s… spin class me.Unhinged, in the best way.I go a couple times a week, and in that room? I’m not quiet.I’m a front row girlie. I “woo.” I high-five strangers. I scream along to Taylor Swift like the Millennial I am.And mid-sweat the other day, I realized: if someone only knew me online, this would look completely off-brand. But it’s not.Because that version of me? She’s also real.She’s not the one you meet in meetings or on Instagram. But she’s me. And I bet you have a version of that too — a contradiction that doesn’t quite fit the label.You’re not just “the introvert.” You’re not just the calm one, the quiet one, the one who thinks before she speaks.You’re a mix. A combination. A pattern that only you can pull off.This episode is about leaning into those contradictions — and why the parts of you that feel “off-brand” might actually be the most magnetic.It's your permission slip to break your own label — even just once this week.Quietly obsessed?
