Entertaining and made me think

I’ve known about my introvert status for a long time, but it was refreshing to hear others talk about it with such openness and kindness. I especially enjoyed the episode about parenting since I have an 11 year old whom I suspect might also be an introvert. My husband is extroverted and sometimes I don’t think he understands us! It was nice to have a reminder that being an introvert is normal and not something that needs to be “fixed.”

A must listen!

A fascinating and informative deep dive into the intricacies of being an introvert with the perfect amount of comedy sprinkled in. It's less a survival guide and more an enlightening awakening about how to use the attributes of your introvertedness as a super power!
