For quiet powerhouses who are done pretending to be extroverts just to succeed.

This podcast is for introverts, neurodivergent humans, and thoughtful leaders who want real strategies for business and life without burning out their nervous system or performing online.

No fake hype.
No “just be louder” advice.
Just grounded conversations, practical systems, and honest stories that respect your pace and your power.

 

What Is Introverts Tool Box?

Introverts Tool Box is a podcast for the thinkers, observers, and “let me process first” humans who are tired of being told they need to become someone else to succeed.

Here, we talk about business, leadership, visibility, and life through a human-first lens.
One that honors capacity, clarity, and nervous system safety.

This is a space where introverts don’t need fixing.
They need structure, strategy, and permission to lead their way.

What You Can Expect

• Real stories from introverts building businesses and careers on their own terms
• Practical tools and systems you can actually use, not just think about
• Conversations that value regulation over hustle and clarity over chaos
• Honest talk about boundaries, burnout, identity, and sustainable success

If reading this made your shoulders drop even a little, you’re in the right place.

Meet Your Host

Introverts Tool Box is hosted by Karen Hewitt, a Harvard-certified disruptive strategist, creator of the Disruption Archetypes™, and a neurodivergent mom of five who builds businesses in real life, not theory.

Karen is the creator of the Perception → Position™ method, a diagnostic-first approach that helps entrepreneurs understand how they’re actually being perceived and intentionally position themselves with clarity, confidence, and integrity.

Her work sits at the intersection of strategy, psychology, and lived experience, translating identity into visibility without forcing people to become louder, shinier, or someone they’re not.

• Disruptive business and social media strategist focused on identity-led growth
• LGBTQIA+ leader and nonprofit advocate grounded in dignity and equity
• Trauma-aware, AuDHD, and deeply committed to systems that work in real life

This isn’t motivation from a pedestal.
It’s strategy from someone who understands capacity, complexity, and real responsibility.
