#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Isobelle Panton, aka the Corporate Agony Aunt, joins me to slice through modern office life and let go of all the outdated - and honestly, unhelpful - career advice we keep getting fed.We get into what people wildly misunderstand about corporate culture, how to actually get your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.

#88: It’s Giving Introvert: What Quiet Really Looks Like at Work
We throw around the word introvert a lot, but what does it actually mean? In this episode, I’m breaking down what introversion really is (and what it’s not), why we’re all somewhere on the spectrum, and how powerful it can be to know exactly what fuels your energy, and what drains it.We’ll bust some myths about introverts at work, talk through how to navigate back-to-back meeting days, and explore why quiet strengths are anything but weak.If you’ve ever felt like being quiet or reflective was a disadvantage, this one’s for you. Quietly obsessed? Leave a rating so more people can find us.Have a thought? DM me: @awfullyquietpodcast

#87: When your nervous system isn’t on board with your big plans
You’ve got the vision. You’ve done the prep. Things are moving.And then, without warning, your body hits the brakes.Not because you’re wrong. Not because you’re not ready.But because something in you still thinks growth means danger.In this episode, I talk about what it feels like when your nervous system isn’t on board with your big plans. That moment when your ambition is saying let’s go, but everything in you starts to resist. I share the loop I know too well: dreaming, working, doubting, comparing, retreating & what it looks like to interrupt it without shutting it down.We get into what the nervous system actually is, how it reacts to expansion, and how to start building safety in the middle of change.Not a fix. Just a quiet reminder: You’re becoming someone your body is still learning to trust.P.S. 5-Star Reviews make my day.

Meet me on Cringe Mountain for a soft (and slightly nervous) reveal.This week, I’m talking about why self-expression can feel so weirdly hard, especially for those of us who process deeply, speak slowly, and sometimes get stuck between knowing what we bring… and finding the words to say it.If you’ve ever felt like your brilliance doesn’t quite translate out loud, this one’s for you.I’m also finally sharing something I’ve been building behind the scenes. It’s raw, honest, and way overdue.Thanks for letting me say it out loud.Early Access List: https://hannahsosa.myflodesk.com/quietflex

#85: You’re Not That Special — And You’re Very Special ft. Gen Z Coach Sophie Hirst
Gen Z quietly clocked what the rest of us are just now realizing: Success doesn’t have to be loud, linear, or soul-draining. I’m joined by Sophie Hirst — former Google senior manager turned Gen Z coach and founder of Workbaby — for a conversation that unpacks how a new generation (and anyone quietly ambitious) is rewriting the rules of work, visibility, and self-worth.We talk behind-the-scenes life at Google, managing up without burning out, and how to build a career you actually want to live inside — one that’s energy-aware, values-led, and not built entirely on LinkedIn optics.This one’s for the quiet climbers.The soft disruptors.The ones who don’t always speak first — but who always see what’s really going on.🔗 Follow Sophie @sophworkbaby and check out BIZ, her Podcast that's rewriting the rules of work for a new generation.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.
