    75. How To Move Forward When You Don't Have All The Answers
    May 4 2025

    In this solo episode, I delve into the process of finding the right next step in life, especially when it feels like you need to have all the answers before moving forward. I reflect on my own experiences of overthinking and the pressure to please others, and how that led me to miss the joy of simply being curious and exploring the unknown.

    Through this episode, I share how reconnecting with my younger self has allowed me to embrace my authentic self and take the next step in my journey with confidence. This practice of self-acceptance, compassion, and deep inner work is a powerful tool for introverts and quiet achievers, especially those navigating the challenges of perfectionism and the need for external validation.

    This episode is an invitation to take the time to sit with your younger self, offer the compassion and support you may not have received, and embrace your authenticity. If you're ready to go beyond intellectual understanding and do the deeper work needed for lasting transformation, reach out to me for support.

    74. The 7 Emotional Needs: A New Approach to Healing Depression with Dr. Ardeshir Mehran

Dr. Mehran is disrupting the mental health field by offering a new perspective on emotional wellness, healing depression, and easing emotional suffering.During our conversation, Dr. Mehran shares his groundbreaking research on the 7 Emotional Needs, which he believes are at the core of depression, anxiety, and other mental health struggles. These needs, when unfulfilled, create a sense of disconnection from ourselves and others, leading to emotional distress.

    • Reframing Depression: Depression is not an illness, but a signal that something is missing in our lives. By addressing the core emotional needs, we can overcome this feeling of emptiness and live more vibrantly.
    • Introverts and Quiet Achievers: Dr. Mehran discusses how introverts and quiet achievers can unlock their true potential by addressing emotional needs like connection, self-expression, and belonging—without having to "fit in" or silence their voice.
    • Practical Steps for Healing: Learn how small, consistent actions—referred to as "micro actions"—can create lasting change and help us reconnect with our true selves.
    • The Importance of Reparenting: Dr. Mehran emphasizes the need for reparenting ourselves by healing past wounds and creating a nurturing environment for our inner child.


    Whether you’ve struggled with depression or simply want to feel more connected to your authentic self, this episode offers empowering insights and practical advice for anyone looking to heal and grow.

    73. Feel the Fear and Speak Anyway: Stage Fright Solutions for Quiet Achievers with Guest Mahlena-Rae Johnson
    Apr 6 2025
    Do you freeze up at the thought of public speaking?
    Feel like your quiet personality doesn’t “fit” on stage?
    You’re not alone—and you don’t have to change who you are to be heard.


    In this episode of The Quiet Warrior Podcast, I’m joined by speaker, comedian, and six-time author Mahlena-Rae Johnson, who calls herself the “Professor X for introverted CEOs with stage fright.”

    With warmth, humor, and deep wisdom, Mahlena shares how introverts can embrace their own rhythm, speak with impact, and feel safe being seen—without performing or pretending.We talk about:

    – Why stage fright isn’t something to “cure”—and what to do instead
    – The hidden power of preparation (and why introverts often overprepare)
    – How to manage nerves, relate to your audience, and recover afterward
    – What being a “Quiet Warrior” looks like in a world obsessed with visibility
    – Mahlena’s 3-part framework from her book Speak Anyway (Relax • Relate • Release)


    Whether you're a quiet achiever navigating leadership or an introvert dreaming of sharing your story, this episode is your permission slip to speak in a way that honors you.
