About The Awfully Quiet Podcast

Quiet has a branding problem. At work, it gets mistaken for lack of ambition. Or confidence. Or presence. So you’re told to adjust. To be louder. Faster. More obvious. But what if quiet isn’t the problem… just the positioning? This show is a rebrand. A more strategic, more intentional way of being seen, without becoming someone you’re not. Less performance. More presence.

   Here’s my confession: I worked five years to get to a senior level position in brand management. But whenever I introduce myself in meetings… I always drop the word "senior". Because it feels like I shouldn’t be making a fuss. Stressing this little word would feel ego driven. Like I want to make myself more important than I am. Until I realized… it’s doing myself and the people I introduce myself to a huge disservice. I talk all about this in what feels like a voice note episode to myself, and to the person who downplays their credentials in the same way.

Inside a recent episode

What if the way “up” is actually inward?

Published 12 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] When it comes to being on top of your game, it's never really about the relationship with yourself. It's often about skills and relationships and your network and, you know, being loud. It's never really about being in tune with yourself, having a good relationship with yourself. And I feel like when you do pursue that relationship, when you truly stop and spend some time with yourself, with your own thoughts, with your own inner knowing, I think that is when you get a chance to figure out what is your own son. What is that thing inside yourself that feels warm and strong and familiar and that feels like home and that feels like something that you want to follow? […]
