  • Introversion vs Shyness: The Truth About Being an Introvert | Ep. 1
    Feb 27 2026

    Introversion is not a flaw. It is a superpower. And The Introvert Sisters are back to remind you of that. After a three year hiatus filled with an Anthem Award win, book publishing milestones, multiple awards, and deeper work around introversion and community, Lisa Hurley and Sharon Hurley Hall return to the mic with clarity, calm, and their usual quiet confidence. Relaunched in February 2026 during Black History Month, the show airs every other week, and has a fresh live format that streams simultaneously on LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook, with full audio episodes available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major podcast platforms.

    This inaugural episode of The Introvert Sisters LIVE! sets the tone for a new season and a new chapter.

    In “Introversion vs Shyness: The Truth About Being an Introvert,” Lisa and Sharon break down one of the most persistent myths about introversion, especially for introverted Black people navigating spaces that reward volume over depth. They offer language, context, and lived experience to separate introversion from shyness and social anxiety, while affirming the power of quiet leadership.

    In this episode, viewers and listeners will learn:

    • The clear differences between introversion, shyness, and social anxiety

    • Why introverted Black people are often mislabeled and misunderstood

    • How to honor your introverted wiring without shrinking yourself

    • What to expect from The Introvert Sisters LIVE!

    Whether you are a longtime listener or brand new to The Introvert Sisters, this episode is both a welcome back and a fresh beginning.

    Enjoy the episode, and join Lisa and Sharon every other Friday at noon eastern time for honest conversation, cultural insights, and practical wisdom that every introverted person needs. The show is simulcast live on LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook. The audio version of the podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you listen to your podcasts.

  • 5 Coping Strategies for Introverted Expats | Ep. 0028
    Jun 15 2022

    As remote working has become more of the norm, more and more people have chosen to relocate to a country in which they have always dreamed of living. (Barbados, anyone?) These new expats not only have to adjust to their new home, but also find ways to fit in and not feel like outsiders. This tends to be easy for extroverts, but for introverts, not so much. In their latest Off-Topic episode, Sharon and Lisa share their experiences as lifelong expats, and strategies for how introverts can have an easier, more enjoyable expat journey.
