You Don’t Have To Be Loud To Be Heard
This week's Page TurnerHello Reader. This month on the Success Through Community Podcast, Joelene shared a book that felt like a warm conversation over mimosas — Don’t Ask Me To Be Loud: The Introverted Girl’s Guide to Online Business by Nicole Kepic. And spoiler alert, she loved it. What stood out most is how Nicole manages to write a business book that doesn’t feel like a business book. It’s approachable, relatable, and packed with “gentle nudges” instead of overwhelming homework. Think bullet-point reflections that actually make you want to take action — or in Joelene’s case, take notes at 30,000 feet. A standout theme from this episode is the idea that confidence isn’t volume. Being quiet doesn’t make you less capable, less impactful, or less successful. You get to define your own voice — whether that voice is soft, loud, or reserved until it absolutely has something worth saying. We also talked about the myth that online business is automatically “easy” for introverts. Spoiler: it’s not. Putting yourself out there takes energy, and Nicole’s perspective on protecting that energy (instead of burning it until you crash) was so affirming. If you’ve ever felt like you “should” be louder, more visible, or more “on” to run a thriving business… this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to be anything other than who you already are.
