I was sitting at my desk, frustration simmering. 'I wish I was more extroverted. Maybe I’m not cut out for business,' I muttered. Deep down, though, I knew I could do this—I just hadn’t found a way that felt right yet. It felt like the only way to start growing my business was to be someone I wasn’t. And so, determined to make my dream work, I typed into Google: 'How do I get over introversion?' What I discovered changed the course of my business journey...
Hi I'm Laurene, your confidence & marketing coach for introverted creatives in business 👋 I'm so glad you found you way here, welcome and thank you for visiting my site!
If you’re anything like me—a deep-thinking, creative soul with a quieter nature, you are in the right place
Ever felt like you’re stumbling through your business journey, overwhelmed by self-doubt, and unsure of how to truly express yourself as an introvert?
I want you to know—I’ve been right there with you. This is how it started...
Once upon a time, I was a quiet girl feeling like an outsider in the bustling world of entrepreneurship. The noise, competition, and relentless hustle that seemed to define success overwhelmed me.
While others appeared to effortlessly shine, I struggled to find my place, weighed down by self-doubt and let's face it: a lot of confusion on how to present my set of skills too. Like many introverts, I knew I had ambition, but I felt completely stuck when it came to talking about my work and showing up online.
Every step felt like walking on eggshells, I was pushing myself as if to be visible I needed to transform into someone I wasn’t. The pressure to fit into a loud, extroverted business world, compounded by my perfectionism, only led to frustration and losing confidence. The fear of not doing things ‘perfectly’ held me back from taking bold steps.
My journey was marked by a constant rhythm of hesitation and overthinking, a cycle of stopping and starting. I was stuck and I felt invisible.
And then everything changed...
All along, my introversion felt like the bane of my business journey. I found myself at a crossroads, ready to give up: I could either try to change who I was or abandon my dreams.
In a last-ditch effort, I turned to Google, searching for ways to ‘fix’ my introversion. And as the pages loaded before my eyes, a profound realization hit me: my introversion wasn’t a flaw at all.
It was about where we draw our energy from, not a limitation.
Suddenly, my struggles with showing up online began to make sense. Even more, I discovered that I had strengths because of my introversion. That realization became my beacon of hope: there HAD to be another way.
So, I made a commitment to myself: I would learn everything I could about introversion and how to work with it, not against it.
Over the months that followed, I poured countless days into researching, reading books on the psychology of introversion, understanding energy management, and identifying what introverts need to thrive.
But I didn’t stop there—I applied what I learned to my own business. Over the course of two years, I experimented, tweaking my approach, finding what truly worked for me.
Little by little, showing up became easier. I started feeling more confident, and for the first time, I found myself in my element in business.
I knew I was onto something. So, I rejected hustle culture completely and doubled down on what felt authentic and what worked for me. I celebrated each small win, listened to my needs, and embraced my own pace.
As I leaned into my strengths, I stopped fighting against my nature. I no longer saw introversion as something to "outgrow." Instead, I embraced it fully and made it my mission to turn discomfort into comfort by honoring my introverted qualities. That’s when I realized I had unlocked the key to carving my own space in business and doing it my way—introvert-style.
For the first time in my business journey, and maybe even in my life, I truly saw myself.
If you're stuck in a cycle of hesitation and overthinking, wondering how to confidently express your work, I’m here to tell you—you don’t have to change who you are to get there.
I saw myself for the first time. That's when I found my voice and became unstoppable.
Aligning my actions with my own pace & needs allowed my self-doubt to fade.
What I didn’t expect was that, in the process, I also discovered and freed my voice, which had been there all along, waiting to be heard.
When I started approaching developing my business introvert-style, I gave myself the freedom and permission to hold space for myself. That’s when I realized I had valuable opinions, a story, and words that mattered.
Showing up online & presenting my work, once a source of anxiety, became a skill I could master in my own terms, just like any other.
It was like I’d been whispering in a room full of shouting, but when I embraced my introversion, I finally found the volume that worked for me—and that’s when people started to really listen
This journey of self-acceptance and embracing my introverted strengths led me to develop unshakeable confidence and resilience in my own business journey. I became adept at finding solutions and supporting myself, turning self-doubt into a stepping stone for growth.

Here are some things I often get asked
-
Are you really an introvert, you seem so at ease in your online presence!
Yes! I’m a huge introvert 😊
People who meet me in person are often surprised by how quiet I am, especially since I have an active online presence. I’m what you’d call a "blue" type of introvert, meaning I’m thorough, meticulous, and loooove diving into details. If I don’t set limits, I could plan and prepare endlessly before taking action. And, of course, I adore my quiet time alone and am deeply introspective.
People often tell me I’m overthinking when I’m really just thinking, haha!
-
How did you start your business? What's your background?
From a very young age, I always dreamed of working with creatives, but I was steered away from that path and encouraged to study business instead. I ended up studying marketing and business at university.
After that, I worked in corporate marketing for nearly a decade, but I felt unfulfilled the entire time. Even though I stayed in business, I never lost sight of my original dream.
In late 2019/early 2020, I took a leap of faith and quit my job to pursue working with creatives. During my first year, I struggled with self-doubt and relied on my network for freelance work, as I couldn’t bring myself to market my skills online.
In 2021, I experienced burnout and spent months recovering. Afterward, I decided to pivot from freelancing to teaching marketing. That’s when I launched my online presence and really started confronting my own self-doubt.
By 2023/2024, after finally overcoming my struggles, I knew I wanted to help other creatives do the same—so they could get there faster.
And now, as of 2024, I’m a certified coach!
-
Who are you when you're not coaching?
When I’m not coaching, I’m usually indulging in my many passions—writing songs, playing guitar, crocheting, spending time outdoors, and sewing (one day, I’ll make my own dresses!).
Fun facts: I’m a huge metalhead (Iron Maiden, anyone?), a mental health advocate, and a bit of a geek at heart, with a love for psychology and all things universe-related.
-
Are you a certified coach? What's your qualifications?
Yes! I’m proud to say that as of 2024, I’m a Level 3 CPD-certified coach. While certification isn’t required in the UK, I wanted to ensure I was equipped to support my clients as effectively as possible.
In addition to that, I hold two business degrees from the Sorbonne in Paris, and I spent nearly a decade working in corporate marketing before I decided to launch my own business.
-
What can I expect from working with you?
My ultimate goal is to help you overcome self-doubt so you can stop holding yourself back and start expressing yourself online with confidence. I want you to become unstoppable in your business journey.
When you work with me, you can expect to dive deep into what’s holding you back—whether that’s your story, your expertise, or something else entirely.
More importantly, there’s no pushing yourself to do things you don’t want to do, no faking it till you make it, no hustling to exhaustion, and definitely no pretending to be someone you’re not. I can promise you that.
I’m not here to teach you "one proven strategy" because I believe the only strategy that works is the one that fits you. My approach is all about helping you build a creative business sustainably and on your own terms.
-
What's it like inside your offers?
I’ve been told that my offers are very thorough, so if you love understanding what you’re doing before you dive in—just like I do—you’re in for a treat! :)
I do my best to create offers that guide you step-by-step and provide plenty of support along the way.
Something else you should know is that I’m very honest. I’ll tell you how things are, and I expect the same from you. I’m always open to any feedback.
-
Where are you based? Where does your accent come from?
I'm a French expat living in the beautiful land of Scotland so that's where my funny accent comes from if you catch me on video :) It's a little blend of French and Glaswegian (from Glasgow, Scotland!).
