This week, I’m talking about the summer I turned quiet — and why the most powerful reinventions often begin in the stillness no one sees.As we move into that “back to school” energy, it’s tempting to launch straight into the doing: new routines, new projects, new versions of ourselves. But the truth is, every big change I’ve ever made has started inward first — in the quiet days, in the thinking no one claps for, in the recalibration that doesn’t look productive on paper. This summer reminded me that solitude isn’t the opposite of momentum; it’s the foundation of it.Whether you’ve had your own season of going quiet, or you’re stepping into one now, this episode is an invitation to see that inward work as the most essential work you’ll ever do.And if part of your own quiet glow up is about how you show up at work, my latest creations — Quiet Flex and The Subtle Scripts Pack — were designed exactly for this season. Quiet Flex is your career brand kit for building presence without the performance. The Subtle Scripts Pack gives you 200+ plug-and-play phrases so you can stop freezing when the spotlight hits you — and start being remembered for all the right reasons. Together, they’re the practical side of a quiet reinvention: the tools that help you match your inner shift with outer momentum.The things you discover when you’re still — your truest ideas, your next moves, the version of you you’ve been becoming all along — are never wasted. They’re the quiet beginnings of everything you’ll one day be loud about.Quietly obsessed? Leave a rating so more people can find us.Have a thought? DM me: @awfullyquietpodcast
