If you replay pricing conversations in your head at 2 a.m. If you've ever thought, \"I'm just too shy for this.\" This episode is your permission slip to stop trying to be louder and start being smarter. Sarah shares why being introverted isn't the thing holding you back, it might be your biggest advantage. Through Audrey Terris' story, from hiding behind $400 sales to confidently crossing $1,000 again and again, you'll see what changes when personality stops being the excuse and systems take the lead. You'll walk away with: • A powerful reframe that turns \"I'm awkward\" into \"I'm deeply attuned\" • Why scripts and systems calm anxiety and make selling feel natural • The three conversations that actually grow your business, and how introverts win at all of them If you're tired of thinking you have to be bubbly, pushy, or someone you're not to succeed, this is the truth your nervous system has been waiting to hear. You don't need a new personality. You need a plan. Press play and let's build it together.
