Success doesn’t have to be loud.
Thrive quietly on your terms.

Hi, I’m Karina, and an introvert!

At the age of 13, I was too afraid to talk to my aunt or buy food during lunch break. I was shy and not confident.
The grown-ups told me to be louder, but I was too afraid to say something stupid and get laughed at. My teachers gave me a lower grade because I was quiet.

I established the mindset that only extroverts can be successful. I was one of the top students in class, but I limited myself by believing I could never be a leader or achieve my dreams.
But I was ambitious, so I started reading and going to a therapist. And that’s how my story started.

Today I live in the most beautiful city in the world (Vienna, Austria), lived abroad alone for a few months, led a student organization for 2 years and started an online business where I’m showing myself (as you can see 😉


Introversion doesn’t mean being shy or not confident. It’s a personal way of living.

Introverts recharge by being alone. The busy world and other people drain our energy really fast (depending on the people, of course 😉 )

We are social too, but with the right people and at the right time. Our extroverted side comes out with people we trust, which isn’t easy to earn. Then we can talk for hours.

Introverts are:

  • good listeners
  • good prepared
  • empathic
  • quiet and focused
  • deep thinkers

I want to change the narrative about introverts, so I’m writing about it online with all the lessons I learned and the tools I used to get to where I am now.


Are you often…

  • frustrated because you got told to be louder
  • overwhelmed by the noisy world full of to-dos
  • discouraged because you want success but feel like you’re not getting heard
