I am here as an extravert who wants to learn from introvert people. Because my tendency is to overstretch my communicating capabilities. I genuinely enjoy listening other people and talking with them and building connections. I get inspired, in awe, in love, appreciate other people. But more often I feel over exhausted after that. I even thought that maybe I am an introvert really. After some consideration I had to reject this idea, I am an extravert, but the one who definitely needs to teach herself to feel better - when is it the time to take a break, to stay quiet, or slow down. I need to take more care about the inner well of my recourses. Because empty well is not fun at all.

I also think that before it was easier for me, because I didn't have a kid, and I am still perceiving myself as a person with the same amount of recourse as I was before becoming a mom. Now communicating with a kiddo takes away a lot of my energy, also my sleeping schedule is limping. So in the end I really need to keep it in mind. But I tend to forget. And not care about my sanity. It is SO interesting.

Thank you for your email, Louise <3

Ah, Louise! What perfect timing you have! Yes, I am here on Substack too, because of you actually, but I haven’t yet quite got things where I’d like them to be in this platform, in terms of using all of the tools here as intended. Thank you for taking the time to create a video about how you’re using Substack.

I’m likewise a sometimes overwhelmed and always highly sensitive person. To manage my life well, I’ve recently found out how important it is to take things slowly. When I found you (via the Podcast episode you did with Kelsey and Al), I knew that I had found someone who finds success despite being someone who also takes certain things more slowly. I greatly appreciate that you talk over those aspects of your business, and how you place how you’re feeling over other projects or people’s expectations. I won’t go on too long. Thanks very much!!!
