It is always a pleasure to chat about introversion and music, especially with a fellow music lover! Serena Loo invited me to do just that on her ‘the Quiet Warrior podcast’, during which we covered:

🎙️Birgit’s journey of discovering her introversion and learning to embrace it
🎙️The layers of introversion and how it manifests differently for each person
🎙️Understanding energy management as an introvert
🎙️The concept of “music mindfulness” and its impact on emotional well-being
🎙️How music has supported Birgit’s personal and professional growth
🎙️Living on the “B side” of life: finding hidden strengths and unexpected treasures

🎙️ How music can be used to help with stress relief, productivity, and emotional balance

🎙️The importance of gradually stepping into the spotlight as an introvert

Memorable Quotes:

“Introversion is all about energy—how quickly we are depleted and how we recharge.”
“Music is like my red line, my best friend. It helps me process my emotions and find balance.”
“Introverts have hidden strengths, like the B side of a record—full of surprises waiting to be discovered.”

About the Quiet Warrior Podcast:

Welcome to The Quiet Warrior Podcast – a place for introverts, highly sensitive souls, empaths, and quiet achievers to grow into Quiet Warriors.

Why “Quiet Warrior”?

Because there are times in life when we are called to be the warrior: to speak, act, lead, and galvanise others for a cause. And being quiet by nature should not be a barrier (or excuse).

I think back to all the times I failed to speak up because of a fear of offending, fear of not knowing when was the right time to speak, fear of looking stupid … and how many opportunities I wasted, when I could have done the right thing or helped someone else who was even more timid than I was.

Our quiet strengths – active listening, being fully present in conversations, the ability to form intimate connections and hold deep and meaningful conversations, conscientiousness and attention to detail, and the way we articulate our thoughts and opinions with intelligence and consideration – are amazing gifts and have the power to unlock so much good.

Let’s get better at using them to bring strength, encouragement, hope, and positive change
