#91: Quietly Iconic Founder Energy ft. Isobel & Samara
What does it look like to build a business that honors your energy instead of draining it? In this episode, I sit down with Isobel Griffin and Samara Bortz — the quietly iconic duo behind In Tandem Studios, where copywriting and design meet intentional, introspective strategy. We go deep on what it really takes to co-run a business as two naturally quiet people — from setting boundaries to finding your creative rhythm, to designing client experiences that feel like a deep exhale. Isobel and Samara share how they’ve gently broken the rules of traditional “client attraction” in favor of something more human, more intuitive, and way more sustainable.If you’ve ever felt overstimulated by the “shoulds” of business or unsure how to show up in a way that feels true — this conversation is your permission slip. Share it with the person you’d build something quietly iconic with, and don’t forget to leave that soft five-star seal of approval wherever you’re listening.🔗 Follow In Tandem Studios @intandem.studios.If this episode lands with you, share it with someone who needs it.And if you’re feeling generous, a 5-star rating or review helps way more than you know.

#90: You need to be more visible.
Let’s talk about the piece of feedback that makes every introvert's eye twitch:“You need to be more visible.”Thanks. Not helpful.In this episode, we unpack what visibility at work actually means — especially if you're not someone who thrives in the spotlight or loves impromptu coffee chats with senior leadership.We’ll go beyond the usual “speak up more” advice and get into what actually works when you’re thoughtful, observant, and quietly ambitious.Spoiler: It’s not glamorous, but it works.Quietly obsessed?

#89: Not Saving Lives ft. Corporate Agony Aunt Isobelle Panton
Isobelle Panton, aka the Corporate Agony Aunt, joins me to slice through modern office life and let go of all the outdated - and honestly, unhelpful - career advice we keep getting fed.We get into what people wildly misunderstand about corporate culture, how to actually get your work noticed, and how to build meaningful relationships - not by jumping into the spotlight, but by showing up in service to others. Isobelle’s perspective is clear, bold, and at times a little uncomfortable, which feels so necessary (especially for us quiet ones trying to navigate the noise).Her energy? Absolutely contagious. We talk about what it really takes to be a badass at work and a mum, and how to build a career and life that sounds delusional, until it isn’t.🔗 Follow Isobelle @corporateagonyaunt.If this episode lands with you, share it with someone who needs it.And if you’re feeling generous, a 5-star rating or review helps way more than you know.
