Et je plombe la vie de ma famille.” - C'est avec ces mots bouleversants qu'Amélie, une femme sensible et brillante d'une quarantaine d'années, est venue me voir. Comme beaucoup, elle se croyait différente, “pas normale”, incapable de trouver sa place. Pourtant, derrière cette impression douloureuse se cache une vérité : nous n'avons pas tous les mêmes besoins, les mêmes façons de fonctionner, ni la même manière de nous épanouir. Dans cet épisode, je t'emmène au cœur de l'histoire d'Amélie. Elle est mariée, maman, hypersensible, intuitive, rebelle, créative, et elle a longtemps cru que toutes ces caractéristiques étaient des défauts. Elle se sentait “trop” ou “pas assez” : trop émotive, pas assez stable, trop indépendante, pas assez adaptée au monde de l'entreprise. Mais en réalité, ce qu'elle croyait être des failles se révèlent être ses plus grandes forces.

In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Christin Berges über ein Thema, das oft unterschätzt wird: die besonderen Stärken introvertierter Talente. Während in unserer Arbeitswelt häufig die Lauten und Extrovertierten im Vordergrund stehen, erklärt Christin, warum gerade die Stillen einen unschätzbaren Beitrag leisten – und wie Unternehmen davon profitieren können. Wir sprechen darüber, - welche einzigartigen Qualitäten Introvertierte mitbringen, - wie sie diese Stärken im Berufsalltag bewusst einsetzen können, - und warum es höchste Zeit ist, gängige Vorurteile über Introversion zu hinterfragen. Ob du selbst introvertiert bist oder mit stilleren Kolleg*innen zusammenarbeitest – diese Folge gibt dir so oder so wertvolle Impulse für deinen Job-Alltag.

This week's encore episode from my other podcast, the Women in the Middle® Entrepreneurs show, about introverts can learn to own & play to their strengths authentically while rattling the cages of organizations to shake out the bias that favours the extravert ideal. Introverts are often known as “the quiet ones” and may feel that way too.  It's common for them to be overlooked.

Click here now to access the tool > ‍ How to Lead with Quiet Confidence and Create Partnerships that Thrive Does it sometimes feel as though the workplace, or business world, was designed for the loudest voices, not for you? In this episode of The Brilliant Business Book Festival, I'm joined by Jennifer Kahnweiler, author of The Introverted Leader (3rd Edition): Building on Your Quiet Strength, and several other books that change the business game. Her work shines a light on what so many of us have felt: introverts aren't less capable, they simply lead differently. And when they're allowed to do so, the results can be extraordinary. What follows isn't just a recap of our conversation. It's a deeper dive into why introversion is a leadership advantage, how introverts and extroverts can form “genius opposites” partnerships, and how practical tools like delegation and preparation can transform how we show up at work. You'll learn how understanding your natural wiring can help you prepare, communicate, and collaborate more powerfully, without pretending to be someone you're not. If you've ever felt overlooked in meetings, frustrated by fast-paced demands, or unsure how to delegate without losing your standards, this conversation will give you tools, strategies, and confidence to lead on your own terms. ‍ ‍ Prefer to WATCH instead of read? Visit: https://www.youtube.com/@melittacampbell/podcasts ‍ ‍ “Quiet leaders aren't less capable — they're often more prepared, more observant and more trusted.” - Jennifer Kahnweiler ‍ Why Introversion is a Leadership Strength For too long, introversion has been cast as something to overcome. “Speak up more.” “Be more confident.” “Network like extroverts.” ‍ But Jennifer reminds us: introversion isn't a flaw. It's a foundation. Introverted leaders thrive because they bring qualities that today's organisations desperately need: ‍ Preparation: the ability to walk into a room having thought through angles, questions, and next steps. Deep listening: a skill that makes colleagues and clients feel truly heard. Meaningful connection: not surface-level networking, but genuine one-to-one or small group relationships that last. Think of it like gardening. Extroverts may scatter seeds widely, covering ground quickly. Introverts plant fewer seeds, but tend and water them with patience … leading to stronger, longer-lasting growth. ‍ When introverts stop trying to keep up with the loudest voices and instead honour their natural wiring, leadership begins to feel more natural, more energising, and more effective. ‍ Making the Most of “Genius Opposites” One of Jennifer's most fascinating frameworks is what she calls “genius opposites”: introverted–extrovert partnerships that, when nurtured properly, create exponential results. Through her research, she developed the ABCDE model for making these partnerships thrive: A – Accept the Alien: stop trying to change your partner; embrace their difference. B – Bring on the Battles: don't avoid conflict, air it out early before resentment builds. C – Cast the Character: put people in roles where their strengths shine (the extrovert waving people down at a trade show; the introvert taking them deeper once they're at the booth). D – Destroy the Dislike: you don't have to be best friends, but you do need mutual respect, and a little humour goes a long way. E – Each Can't Offer Everything: clients and colleagues benefit when both voices are present; difference leads to richer solutions. The metaphor here is a pair of rowers in a boat. If both row on the same side, you go in circles. But when you learn to pull in sync from opposite sides, you glide forward faster and straighter than you ever could alone. ‍ “The right introvert–extrovert partnership doesn't add up, it multiplies.” - Jennifer Kahnweiler ‍ Speaking Up — Without Being Loud One of the biggest frustrations introverts share is being overlooked in meetings. You pause to reflect before speaking, and suddenly someone else has jumped in. Silence gets misread as disinterest. But Jennifer offers strategies that allow introverts to be heard without forcing themselves to “perform”: Prepare key points ahead of time so you can contribute with clarity. Ask for reflection time (“I'd like to think about this and come back with a response tomorrow”). Follow up in writing with a synthesis of ideas, often more valuable than what's said in the room. Brené Brown has even built reflection breaks into her team's meetings, so introverts (including herself) have space to process ideas before decisions are made. A simple but profound reminder that influence doesn't always happen in the room; it happens in the follow-up too. ‍ Delegation Without the Guilt Many introverts struggle with delegation — worried that tasks won't be done to their standard, or that they'll burden others. But holding on to everything creates bottlenecks, exhaustion and stalled growth. Jennifer reframes delegation as a gift, not a burden. By handing over tasks: You free space for your strategic thinking, the work only you can do. You give others the opportunity to learn and grow. You prevent burnout, ensuring you show up as your best self. Think of delegation like passing a torch in a relay race. You're not abandoning the run; you're ensuring the team as a whole keeps moving forward faster. ‍ The Quiet Confidence Advantage If you take only one thing from Jennifer's research and our conversation, let it be this: Introversion is not just “enough” — it's an advantage. By honouring your natural strengths, partnering wisely with complementary styles, and creating environments where quieter voices are respected, you don't just survive in leadership — you thrive. And perhaps the bigger invitation is this: what if we stopped assuming leadership must look a certain way, and instead embraced the full spectrum of how people naturally show up? The result wouldn't just be fairer, it would be far more effective. ‍ Final Thought to Reflect On? What could shift for you if you stopped trying to “keep up” with the loudest voices, and instead led in the way only you can? ‍ Want to explore what this could look like for you? ‍Learn more about the ways you can work with Melitta Campbell to uncover your Value Sweet Spot to market, sell and grow your business confidently, and always on your terms.

"ADHD is not an excuse, it's a reason." In this episode, Phil and Ky Westcott (mental health advocate - @thevibewithky) delve into the complexities of introversion, mental health, and the evolving understanding of ADHD. They discuss the importance of authenticity in sharing personal struggles, the rise in ADHD diagnoses, and the need for better education around mental health in schools. Ky shares his journey from injury to self-discovery through social media, emphasizing the significance of vulnerability and emotional intelligence in today's youth. The conversation highlights the impact of societal changes on mental health awareness and the importance of supporting individuals in their mental health journeys.   Introversion does not limit performative abilities. The journey of self-discovery can start from personal struggles. Social media can be a platform for authenticity and connection. ADHD awareness is increasing due to more open conversations. Education systems need to adapt to the emotional intelligence of students. Mental health discussions were lacking in past generations. ADHD is a spectrum that evolves over time. Vulnerability in adults can positively influence youth. Stories of late diagnoses highlight the need for awareness. Support and understanding are crucial for mental health management.

If you're curious as to if you have any stored emotions or trauma that might be causing your illness, preventing you from achieving your goals, or even just showing up as the best, authentic version of yourself, I invite you to take my free Stored Emotions and Trauma Quiz.In this episode, I talk about how the word “authenticity” has been hijacked—and why that pisses me off.I break down what authenticity actually means, why it's not some performative trend, and how I've learned to spot the real thing versus the polished Instagram version. I share a personal story from a conference in Austin that still sticks with me, and I walk through a 7-step self-inventory to help you figure out where you might be out of alignment. We also get into the uncomfortable truth no one wants to admit about becoming your true self: you have to grieve the version of you that wasn't real.

The paradox of modern life hits hard in this raw, honest conversation about loneliness in a hyper-connected world. What begins with a surprising encounter - a Gen Z colleague who prefers coming to the office rather than working remotely - unfolds into a deeply relatable exploration of why we're all feeling so disconnected despite endless digital connections.We dive into that visceral, emotional reaction when someone unexpectedly checks in on you, and why it can bring you to tears. There's something profoundly different about physical presence versus digital interaction that our bodies recognize even when our minds try to convince us otherwise. As we observe, "I think there's something about physically hanging out with your friend... it's not the same" as connecting through screens.The conversation takes illuminating turns through personal stories of isolation, caregiving challenges, and the common misunderstandings around introversion and shyness. We challenge the popular notion that personality type determines your need for connection - the truth is, loneliness affects everyone regardless of where you fall on the social spectrum. One particularly poignant observation captures the irony of our times: "Because of this internet which has brought us together, we're more apart."We don't just commiserate - we explore practical strategies for rebuilding connection, from community groups to Meetup.com, and simple daily practices like music, humor, and outdoor activities that can ease the ache of isolation. This episode offers both validation for what so many are feeling and pathways toward meaningful connection in a world that often keeps us apart.Ready to feel less alone in your loneliness? Listen now, and then reach out to that friend you've been meaning to call - they might need to hear from you as much as you need to connect with them.Thank you for stopping by.

This episode marks a milestone—400 episodes of Gospel Spice! In this special group conversation, Stéphanie Rousselle welcomes Angel Omoruan, Ros Evans, and Lindsay Sterious to reflect on God's enduring goodness, the landscape of inner growth, and the beauty of vulnerability within Christian community. Stephanie and her friends reflect on the importance of serving “the one,” being open to “hidden spaces” where ministry might not be grand but is deeply significant. God's presence is not limited to moments of solitude or to times of communal support. Both are necessary, and God moves in each. Big announcement! Sign up for our Prayer Course at gospelspice.com/prayer The Power of Community: The “Turtle Formation” Ros kicks things off by revisiting her journey toward understanding her true nature as an introvert. Despite often appearing energetic and talkative, she recognizes that she draws strength from solitude. She introduces the term “turtling”—retreating inward to recharge. Introversion isn't a weakness or escape, but a necessary, God-given rhythm for many. The “turtle formation” provides a picture of believers locking arms, forming a shield for one another in times of attack or weakness. Lindsay and Ros share stories of community prayer sustaining them in difficulty. Ros notes, “find the people who are willing to turtle with you…that is needed to stand firm in truth.” “Turtling” can become unhealthy when it turns into disengagement and numbness. While retreating is sometimes needed for healing and reflection, it must be balanced with healthy connection to God and others. In prolonged withdrawal, we risk isolation and disconnection from the very relationships that God uses for our spiritual growth. God's Lessons through Life Transitions and Challenges Angel relates to Ros's introversion, recounting how recent life changes exposed emotions she hadn't faced before. Like Ros, she found that retreating—turtling—was partly God's way of protecting her and prompting introspection. However, she also describes God's gentle promptings to re-engage with others, learn to lament, extend grace, and embrace vulnerability. Angel brings in the “turtle formation” used by Roman soldiers. This image of locked shields captures how Christian community can protect and carry one another. There's wisdom in both knowing when to retreat for healing and when to rejoin the ranks for mutual encouragement. Community as Spiritual Armor Lindsay adds her own testimony of being “carried” by her community through a difficult season involving her daughter's health. She describes a profound experience of being prayed for—allowing herself to be vulnerable, supported, and reminded that the body of Christ is meant to shield one another. This spiritual “turtle formation” is a source of strength, comfort, and tangible experience of God's care. The Value of Vulnerability Angel reflects on the difficulty—and gift—of being vulnerable, especially when God calls us to serve. She shares that being present and obedient in the small, unnoticed moments often becomes a blessing, not only for others, but for ourselves. By being honest, especially when we struggle, we open space for God to work uniquely through us. Ros sums it up: “when you know the Holy Spirit has you at a place in a moment, you forget about everything…and by the time I finish, the person's getting blessed and I'm getting blessed too.” Stephanie highlights how we often wait for “big” moments, but Jesus values our faithfulness in serving the “one”—whether a child, a mentee, or a congregation member. She remarks, “let's just focus on what really, really matters,” echoing the importance of focusing on small daily acts of love and service. God in the Quiet and in the Crowd The Christian walk is not about perfection, but humility, honesty, and interdependence. Whether you're serving quietly, struggling privately, or standing “in turtle formation” with others, God sees, sustains, and works through it all. Be encouraged to walk vulnerably, faithfully, and together. Key Takeaways: Embrace your God-given temperament (introvert or extrovert). Healthy retreats (“turtling”) are vital, but must be balanced with intentional connection. Vulnerability—within safe community—unveils God's love and the power of prayer. Spiritual battles are not fought alone; we lock shields through fellowship and humility. God uses both quiet moments and community engagement to reveal His goodness and grace. Challenge: This week, ask God where you might need a healthy retreat—and where you might need to step back into community to “lock shields” with others. Practice vulnerable honesty, and remember that God is present both in your shell and on the battlefield. You are invited to join us on the Gospel Spice Prayer Bible Study, titled "The heart behind prayer" starting September 20, 2025! Details and registration here: https://www.gospelspice.com/prayer  There are a few things in our Christian life that we know we should do more, or at least better – and prayer just might top the list. Prayer is a mystery. Why would a conversation with a human have any influence on God's eternal, sovereign plan? It defies logic, and beckons love. How can God, the Almighty Lord of Hosts, be this close, this personal? It defies understanding, and beckons involvement. But, lack of time, inspiration, and discipline, combined with the ruthless tyranny of our busy lives, push prayer to the periphery, to the “one day I'll get to it” pile. And yet, we can excel at what we endeavor to undertake. So, why isn't prayer more of a spiritual priority? Could we develop a mindset around prayer that made it attractive, inspiring, even maybe delightful? What if we attuned our spiritual ears to listen to God, and our spiritual eyes to see His provision? As an unassuming student, I'm going to humbly offer to share the little I have learned from others about the joy of prayer. I will give us theology, practical tips, and useful resources, sharing what works for me as we, together, learn to pray. If you find prayer intimidating, or if your lack of prayer makes you feel guilty or “less than,” then this is the place for you! If you have been a student of prayer for many years, this is the place for you too! If you have breath in your lungs, then prayer can become one of the deepest joys of your day. Don't miss out! A PERSPECTIVE ABOUT PRAYER To pray is to believe that God not only hears, but that He responds. It is to stand in the gap for a broken world, wielding the authority of Christ, empowered by the Spirit, and trusting in the goodness of the Father. The question is not whether prayer works, but whether we are willing to pray the kinds of prayers that invite God's Kingdom into the darkest places of the earth—and of our own hearts. We may never fully understand the mechanics of prayer, or how it intersects with God's sovereignty, but we are not called to understand everything. We are called to be faithful. And faithfulness means showing up—in prayer, in persistence, in expectation. So today, let us pray not only for the comfort of our hearts, but for the transformation of the world. Let us take our place as image-bearers, co-laborers, and co-heirs. Let us believe that God is still listening—and still acting. Because He is. There's only one way to find out what might happen when we truly pray like this. Let's begin. THE MINDSET BEHIND THIS COURSE Before we begin, let me tell you the obvious: I don't really know how to pray. I'm a humble student and absolute beginner at the holy endeavor that is prayer. So, this course isn't really about what I've learned, or any wisdom I might have gathered. But, I've sat at the feet of many prayer warriors over the decades, through books and teachings. So, I'll share what I learned from them. Humility is going to be our primary heart posture! With each lesson, I will offer a few thoughts, practices, and ideas – with much humility, and not taking myself too seriously. I will also share her favorite books and resources about prayer. FInally, I will introduce you to some of the most influential prayer warriors of our history as the Body of Christ. Most importantly, I will invite YOU to pray! Learning to pray comes from praying. Our humble ambition is to inspire you to pray, and to give you a few tips on how to do that. Then, it's up to you! Prayer is a lifelong endeavor. Let's make it delightful together!

It always feels like an easy out to say a podcast conversation is “wide-ranging”, but when the guest has written best selling books for attorneys on everything from Introversion to Fear, it seems like the only descriptor broad enough to fit. Heidi K Brown is the Associate Dean of Upper Level Writing at the New York School of Law. Inspired by her own experiences untangling a fear of public speaking during her litigation career, Heidi is passionate about helping lawyers at every level find their authentic legal-voices through her teaching and her writing. Her books include, The Introverted Lawyer: A Seven-Step Journey Toward Authentically Empowered Advocacy,  Untangling Fear in Lawyering: A Four-Step Journey Toward Powerful Advocacy, and The Flourishing Lawyer: A Multi-Dimensional Approach to Performance and Well-Being, and the recently released travel memoir - The Map I DrawWe discuss the importance of writer-identity and how she's helping her students to find their voices so that they can advocate from a place of authenticity. Of course, with the rise of Generative A.I., Heidi has had to pivot HOW she teaches - and the story of the first encounter with Chat GPT is worth the listen alone. We also talk about her own journey into the law, how she learned to leverage her introversion to her advantage, and how attorneys can benefit from embodying the mentality of professional athletes 

Morra Aarons-Mele, host of the podcast "The Anxious Achiever," long understood her challenges at work as byproducts of anxiety and depression. She had a hard time working for other people and often found herself saying the wrong thing in meetings. But a recent discovery changed everything: Morra learned she's neurodivergent. That realization helped her reframe not only her struggles, but also her strengths, and paved the way towards a more authentic, empowered way of working. In this week's episode of Everyday Better, Morra shares how embracing her neurodivergence helps her tap into her full potential. She and Leah discuss what neurodivergence encompasses, the hidden power of introversion and how our workplaces need to evolve to support a broader range of minds. Morra also explains why difference isn't a liability but a competitive advantage, and how to leverage your own unique strengths to show up stronger at work.  If you liked this episode, check out Morra's podcast “The Anxious Achiever” here.

Thom Francis introduces us to poet and writer Alyssa Michelle. They talk about her poem “Introvert” and its inspiration, what convinced a self-proclaimed introvert to come out to open mics, and how personal experiences shape her writing. — Alyssa Michelle is a mother, poet, self-published author, and spoken word artist. Her poetry sheds light on life as a single mother, domestic violence, addiction, mental health, healing, and self-empowerment. Her chapbooks include “Growing Pains,” “The Awakening,” and “Blooming Season.” Alyssa read her poem “Introvert” at the Brass Tacks poetry and spoken word open mic on December 4, 2018, at The Low Beat in Albany. In our conversation, we talk about where that poem came from, what convinced a self-proclaimed introvert to come out to open mics, and how personal experiences shape her writing. Alyssa will be sharing her work as a featured reader at the Poets in the Park series on Saturday, July 19, 2025, in Albany's Washington Park. Information on that reading and all of the writers featured this July can be found on the Hudson Valley Writers Guild website, https://hvwg.org.

Have you ever asked yourself: "If I could go back, what advice would I give my younger self?" "How do I teach my kids to face their fears when I still struggle with my own?" "Is true strength about bottling things up, or asking for help?" If these questions resonate, get ready for an honest, funny, and deeply touching exchange that reminds us how universal the struggles of growing up—and parenting—really are. Today, Larry Hagner and his son Ethan Hagner tackle the ultimate hypothetical: what would you say to your younger self? Their conversation unpacks not just advice for growing up, but crucial lessons for fathers navigating the complexities of guiding their children. Ethan Hagner candidly admits to being an anxious and introverted kid. Looking back, he shares how powerfully stepping out of his comfort zone—whether wrestling with social fears, struggling through disliked activities, or simply talking to a childhood crush—shaped the confident young man he's become. Larry, reflecting as a proud dad, shares the immense power of letting your kids see you embrace challenges too, and the vital importance of showing your family how to ask for help when things get tough. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this deeply touching conversation, we dig into: The Growth Zone: Ethan's journey from anxiety and introversion to confidence, forged by repeatedly stepping out of his comfort zone. Parental Modeling of Discomfort: Why it's crucial for dads not just to tell their kids to be brave, but to show them how they embrace their own challenges. Vulnerability as Strength: The transformative message that emotional openness isn't weakness, but a critical part of living and growing into your full potential. The Power of Asking for Help: Why leaning on your support network and giving yourself (and others) permission to be human is essential for navigating tough times. Navigating Universal Struggles: Honest reflections on the challenges of growing up and the ongoing journey of self-discovery, from both a father's and son's perspective. Whether you're a parent guiding your children, or someone still figuring it all out, this episode delivers real talk, practical takeaways, and a reminder that every chapter—no matter how daunting—is worth diving into, together. Here's what research and observation highlight about discomfort and growth: Studies show that individuals who regularly engage in activities outside their comfort zone report a 20% increase in self-efficacy and resilience. Children whose parents model vulnerability and the act of asking for help demonstrate 30% higher emotional intelligence and stronger coping skills. A strong social support network is correlated with a 45% reduction in perceived stress levels during challenging life transitions. www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.1stphorm.com/dadedge www.thedadedge.com/mastermind

In this story we follow Bernice's friend Ethan—an avid reader and quiet thinker—as he spends a few days at his grandmother's house while his parents are away. After a visit to the attic, Ethan discovers a hidden family storybook written by his great-grandfather. What begins as a quiet reading session turns into a journey into family history, self-discovery, and the joy of sharing stories. This story celebrates reading, family bonds, and the quiet confidence of introverted kids who love to listen, learn, and imagine. Sleep Tight, Sheryl & Clark ❤️

Join us this week as we dive into a powerful conversation with Maggie Albrow, a special education teacher who brings a unique perspective to autism. Diagnosed herself and raising two children on the spectrum, she shares practical parenting strategies that anyone can use to better understand their child's needs, whether or not they have autism. We'll explore how her ISTJ personality shapes her approach and dive into her son's ISTP traits, showing how personality and autism intersect to create unique parenting paths. Plus, we'll break down the differences between high-functioning autism and a naturally withdrawn personality, offering valuable insights for parents looking to support and connect with their kids on a deeper level." My son Nathan demonstrated some symptoms when he was younger but as an adult he graduated magna cum laude with a pre med degree and  he is about to take the MCAT exam to get into med school. Here are some of those symptoms: Highly repetitive behaviors, such as hand-flapping, rocking, or repeating specific phrases. Unusual responses to sensory input, such as covering ears in noisy environments or fascination with particular textures. Limited eye contact or unusual speech patterns (e.g., very literal or highly scripted language). Difficulty with reciprocal social interactions, like sharing enjoyment or showing empathy in conventional ways. Many people on the autism spectrum tend to score as introverts (I types) on MBTI. Introversion doesn't cause or correlate with autism directly, but the inclination toward internal processing can align with certain experiences of autistic individuals, who may feel overstimulated by social interactions or need time alone to recharge. Social and Communication Challenges: People with autism may find it difficult to interpret social cues, understand nonverbal communication, or initiate and maintain conversations. Fe in backseat, especially INTPs. Repetitive Behaviors and Routines: Many individuals engage in repetitive behaviors, have strong preferences for routines, and may experience distress if these routines are disrupted. Si SJ Sensory Sensitivities: Many experience sensory sensitivities, reacting strongly to sights, sounds, textures, or smells that others may not notice or be affected by. Si, Se How often do sensory issues show up in autism and how do you handle these sensitivities? Intense Interests or Focused Hobbies: People with autism often develop deep interests in specific subjects or activities, sometimes with an exceptional level of detail or knowledge.

She has over 10,000 hours of experience in education, both in the classroom and corporate sector. Even though she holds a Master's degree in education, she struggled to understand her neurodivergent and oppositional kids.  Inspired by her experience using Myers Briggs and the Enneagram with business teams, she spent over a decade researching temperament pattens to help family teams. She is a best-selling author and host of the Not So Normal Parenting podcast. Her podcast is entitled Not So Normal Parenting because not only are she and her kids neurodivergent but some of her life experiences, such as driving off a cliff her wedding night and going viral for embarrassing her seventeen-year old son by dancing on a snowy and jammed interstate, fall into that category. In addition to being talked about by Hoda Kotb, the BackStreet Boys, and Princess Kate, even U2 singer Bono mentioned the incident in his autobiography. Because Wendy herself has struggled as a helicopter parent, a cranky parent and an embarrassing parent, she wants to help other parents struggle……..a little bit less!

This feeling often stems from societal misconceptions and the negative portrayal of introversion in culture.

It encourages introverts to be vocal about their needs, such as requiring breaks between meetings or needing agendas in advance, to function at their best. The key message is to build a supportive environment and recognize that introversion can be an asset rather than a limitation.

Heidi is a University of Virginia School of Law graduate and currently works as the Associate Dean for Upper Level Writing at New York Law School. Heidi's journey is one of being thrown into the fire and building resilience through it. Heidi is a Lawyer turned professor and author, speaking on topics that hit home for many law students and lawyers: Introversion, Fear, and how to flourish from it! Heidi and I start right before Law School, where we discuss what went into her decision to enter the University of Virginia School of Law. We then moved into the first year of Law School, which she hated because of cold calls, and her disposition to being introverted. This experience would plant the early seeds for what she would write about later in her career. Heidi would discuss the rest of her Law School experience and beyond. Initially starting in Washington, after some life complications, Heidi would head up north to New York City to begin a new chapter of her life. She would discuss the many experiences she had and the riveting stories that have led her to today. We also spoke about a massive turning point in Hedi's life. After being initially rejected to teach at Chapman University School of Law, she received a call a week before classes saying that they needed her. With no teaching experience, Heidi began her career as a professor, and the rest is history. Finally, we spoke about Heidi's three books (Below!): The Introverted Lawyer, Untangling Fear in Lawyering, and The Flourishing Lawyer. Heidi talked about her inspirations for writing each book and her various jobs throughout different law schools in New York. She expanded on topics such as understanding yourself, processing those freeze-ups, and her system for overcoming introversion and fear. This episode with Heidi illuminates an unbelievably successful career and a story of resiliency in the face of fear and introversion! Be sure to check out all of Heidi's content and books below!

Joining him is award-winning journalist from The Atlantic, Olga Khazan, author of Me, But Better, who spent years hacking her own mind—transforming high neuroticism, social avoidance, and chronic self-criticism into calm, confidence, and connection.

In this episode, I share the pivotal moment that changed everything for me: discovering my personality type through the MBTI framework. Far from boxing me in, it offered language, understanding, and a sense of belonging I never knew I needed. This is not about labels or excuses but about insight and responsibility for we introverts. I further explore why knowing your type is just the starting point, not the full story. I challenge the idea of hiding behind introversion and invite you to see your personality as one piece of your self-awareness puzzle. This episode is for anyone ready to move beyond 'that's just the way I am' and step into choice, growth, and owning both strengths and struggles.   *** Key Points *** Personality tests aid initial understanding Introversion is not excuse Self-awareness builds choice #PersonalityTests #Introverts #SelfAwareness   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

Answering common questions about shyness Is shyness the same as social anxiety? Is shyness more common amongst women? Is shyness the same as introversion? And lots more! 

In this episode of The Yoga Therapy Hour, host Amy Wheeler welcomes Jenna Schissel, a yoga therapist based in Des Moines, Iowa, who brings a deeply personal and integrative perspective to the field. Jenna shares her journey of self-discovery, shaped by her experiences with social anxiety and introversion. She discusses how yoga became a natural path for inner healing, providing her with a structured way to cultivate self-awareness, resilience, and confidence.Rather than focusing on symptom management or pathology, Jenna approaches yoga therapy through the lens of salutogenesis—the process of fostering well-being rather than merely preventing or treating illness. She and Amy explore how yoga therapy facilitates whole-person healing, supporting individuals in cultivating inner stability, self-regulation, and a sense of personal agency.While Jenna also maintains a separate psychotherapy practice specializing in trauma and ketamine-assisted therapy, this conversation focuses on the role of yoga therapy in personal transformation, embodiment, and nervous system coherence, rather than trauma treatment.Key Topics Discussed in This Episode:Jenna's Personal Journey with Yoga – How yoga provided Jenna with a framework to understand and navigate her experiences with social anxiety and introversion. She reflects on the ways that movement, breathwork, and meditation helped her shift from internal self-doubt to self-trust and connection with others.Yoga Therapy as a Path to Whole-Person Healing – Jenna and Amy discuss how yoga therapy facilitates salutogenesis, supporting individuals in building resilience, internal balance, and long-term well-being. They highlight the importance of seeing yoga therapy as a process of self-cultivation rather than symptom reduction.The Role of Self-Awareness in the Healing Process – Jenna explains how self-awareness practices, such as breath observation, mindful movement, and reflective inquiry, serve as fundamental tools in yoga therapy. These practices allow individuals to tune into their internal states and develop a more compassionate and attuned relationship with themselves.Working with the Nervous System in Yoga Therapy – The conversation explores how yoga therapy supports autonomic regulation, helping individuals transition from chronic stress patterns to a more balanced and responsive state. Jenna shares insights on how simple breath and movement techniques can be applied in daily life to foster internal steadiness.The Interplay Between Personal Practice and Professional Work – Jenna reflects on how her personal experiences inform her work as a yoga therapist. She discusses the importance of ongoing self-practice, not only for maintaining professional integrity but also for deepening her understanding of the mind-body connection.Yoga Therapy vs. Psychotherapy: Clarifying the Distinction – While Jenna also works as a psychotherapist, she explains the clear distinctions between her yoga therapy practice and her clinical work. Yoga therapy offers a non-pathologizing, strength-based approach to personal growth, while psychotherapy serves a different role in addressing clinical concerns. This conversation helps clarify how yoga therapy can complement but is not a substitute for mental health treatment.The Power of Introversion in Yoga Therapy – Jenna discusses the unique strengths that introverts bring to both yoga practice and teaching. She and Amy explore how introversion can be reframed as a gift, allowing for deeper self-reflection, insight, and meaningful connection.Connect with Jenna & AmyJenna SchisselBased in Des Moines, Iowa[Insert Jenna's website: https://www.jennaschisseltherapist.com/Amy Wheeler & Optimal StateWebsite: www.TheOptimalState.com Come join us at Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH) for our Signature Programs starting in Fall 2025.

Episode 69: The Pocket Queen. Taylor Gordon, aka The Pocket Queen has become one of the most followed drummers on social media. And for good reason—her groove is deep, her performance is engaging, and she's built a strong brand that goes beyond just drumming. We sat down backstage at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Miami, where she was playing with Willow Smith, and got into all of it—how she came up with The Pocket Queen name, how she first went viral and continued her social media growth, how she landed the Willow Smith gig, and how she's running her career as both an artist and a business. We also talked about her journey from Berklee student to full-time pro, the challenges of balancing creativity and entrepreneurship, and what she's learned along the way. So here it is!

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Marc Brackett, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Yale University, director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, and a world expert on what emotions are, how to interpret them, and how to work with emotions to yield a more impactful, meaningful and healthier life. We explore differences between introverts and extroverts, in-person and text-based emotional communication, and how emotional suppression impacts us. We discuss emotional intelligence and describe tools to improve emotional regulation and communication in personal and professional relationships. We also explore the role of emotions in learning, resolving conflicts, and decision-making. We also discuss bullying in kids and adults, both in person and online. This episode provides a clear and novel framework for thinking about emotions and data-supported tools to improve emotion regulation, self-awareness, and empathic attunement.
