Introverts Tool Box

Your Workspace Is Shaping Your Success (Whether You Realize It or Not) with Krystal Holm

One thing I’ve learned over the years is this: your environment matters more than most people realize, especially for introverts.
In this episode of Introverts’ Toolbox, I’m joined by Feng Shui designer and clutter expert Krystal Holm. We talk about how your workspace directly impacts your focus, confidence, energy, and ability to show up fully in your business.
Krystal shares how clutter is not just physical, but mental and emotional, and why decluttering is often the first step to creating alignment in your life and work. We also explore how introverts can design spaces that support who they are becoming, not just who they are today.
In this conversation, we cover:
Why your workspace influences your confidence and productivity
How clutter reflects what’s keeping you stuck
What it means to design for the future version of yourself
Simple ways introverts can create boundaries when working from home
How alignment in your space creates alignment in your life
If you’ve ever felt drained, scattered, or disconnected while working from home, this episode will help you see your environment as a tool rather than an obstacle.

Authentic Content That Builds Community (Without Performing Online) with Jenni Reher

One of the biggest struggles I see for introverted business owners is content. Not because we lack ideas, but because the way content is taught often feels loud, performative, and completely misaligned with who we are.
In this episode of Introverts’ Toolbox, I sat down with content strategist and former business owner Jenni Reher to talk about a calmer, more authentic way to create content that actually builds connection.
Jenni shares her journey from starting and selling a successful baking business to helping coaches and business owners create content that sounds like them. We talk about why introverts are naturally wired for community, how sharing lived experiences builds trust, and why content does not need to appeal to everyone to be effective.
In this conversation, we explore:
Why you are not meant to attract everyone online
How introverts can use everyday moments as meaningful content
What behind-the-scenes sharing really looks like for introverts
Why community matters more than likes and reach
How authenticity supports long-term, sustainable growth
If creating content has ever felt draining, forced, or overwhelming, this episode offers a gentler and more aligned way to show up and still grow your business.

Boundaries, Humanity and Healing with Nick Bognar

In today’s episode, I am bringing you a conversation that so many introverts have been craving but rarely talk about honestly. We always dive deep into business and strategy here, but this time we are talking about the life stuff. The energy drains, the people pleasing, the boundary setting and the moments where we forget that we are human.
I am joined by Nick Bognar, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist from Pasadena who also teaches other therapists how to build their practices online. Nick came ready with real tools that you can start using today so maybe you do not need an emergency therapy session this week.
We unpack what boundaries actually mean, why “no” is not the whole story, and how boundaries can be loving, kind and a gift to the people around you. Nick shares how to prevent resentment from building, how to shift out of people pleasing and how authenticity makes relationships stronger, not harder.
We also talk about humanity. The messy moments, the blanking out, the bloopers and how showing your real self creates deeper and healthier connection.
If you have ever said yes when you did not want to, avoided conflict or struggled to protect your own energy, this episode will bring clarity and comfort.

If this episode gave you a tool or a moment of truth, tell me in the comments or send a message. The more I know what helps you, the more tools I can bring to your Introvert’s Toolbox. You are perfect the way you are and I am proud of you for doing this work.
