Ep 338 The Reliability Trap

from The Flourishing Introvert Talks · host Joanna Rawbone

Being reliable is one of those qualities we introverts are often praised for, and there is plenty to admire about being our word. But when being the dependable one becomes the role everyone expects us to play, it can cast a rather long shadow over what else we might be capable of. I have found myself questioning whether some of the work I was so reliably doing was actually my great work, or whether I was simply feathering somebody else's nest. That is where reliability becomes a trap. So in this episode, I am rattling a few bars of that cage and asking what it would look like to remain trustworthy while also becoming more dependable to ourselves and the work that matters to us. Key Points 🔑 When reliability becomes identity 🔑 Your great work matters 🔑 Trust needs more than reliability #FlourishingIntroverts #Introverts #Reliability 🎧 Tune-in here for the full episode: https://sites.libsyn.com/231761/ep-338-the-reliability-trap 🔗 Resources Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.
