DEEPLY RESTED PODCAST
Ep. 37— Quiet Power: How Emma-Louise Parks is Redefining Success for Ambitious Introverts
Do you ever feel like the business world just wasn’t built for you?
If the strategies that everyone else swears by feel draining or downright impossible, this episode is your invitation to pause, realign, and find your own way.
In this conversation, I’m joined by Emma-Louise Parkes, founder of The Ambitious Introvert and the brilliant mind behind what she calls the “quiet power effect.” Together, we explore what it really means to be an introverted entrepreneur in a noisy digital world—and how to succeed on your own terms without sacrificing your energy.
Emma-Louise shares her journey from air traffic controller to coach, how she discovered her introversion later in life, and why self-awareness is the key to building a business that actually sustains you.
This episode is a soft but fierce call to remember: you don’t have to do it like everyone else. Your way is the right way for you.
In this episode, Emma-Louise will share:
- When business strategies aren’t built for your energy (03:20)
- The identity shift of discovering you’re an introvert (07:13)
- How to navigate extroverted spaces as an introverted entrepreneur (18:27)
- Why authenticity is magnetic (30:15)
- The Five B’s of Rest: a framework for sustainable success (42:45)
This episode is a gentle but empowering guide for ambitious introverts who want more energy, more ease, and more alignment in business and life.
