As the title suggests, I am very much an introvert, but I love to talk and what better place for a talkative introvert than a podcast?

S2E8 | Why Introverts are Good Listeners & How That Can Be Destructive for Us 29.03.2021

Send us Fan Mail Introverts tend to share similar characteristics and those characteristics can make them really good listeners. (Obviously, this doesn’t apply to all introverts.) Being a good listener is a skill not everyone has and if you can master that skill, it can help you in both your professional and personal life. However, when stuck in the listener role, this can lead to some problems. S...

S2E6 | Don't Call Me That w/ Shannon Ebler and Mia Russell 08.03.2021

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I am joined by my two friends, Shannon, and Mia. We focus on certain words that may seem innocent but may actually be negative.

Links to the books she mentioned are below. ...

S2E3 | Working on Micro Goals 15.02.2021

Send us Fan Mail Year after to year, my New Year’s resolution is the same. However, year after year, I don’t ever achieve that goal: weight loss. This year, though, I’m trying to change my mindset and approach it from a different angle and that is through micro goals. It’s an extremely simplistic approach, but one that can be easily overlooked, because of its simplicity. In this episode, I’ll go o...

S2E2 | INTJ Misconceptions w/ Leah Guillama 08.02.2021

S1E29 | Goodbye 2020 21.12.2020

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we say goodbye to 2020 and to Season 1 of The Talkative Introvert Podcast. I do a recap on this year as it relates to me and the podcast.

S1E27 | Talking Zodiacs w/ the Bewitches 07.12.2020

Send us Fan Mail I am joined again by the Bewitches (Katrina, Leah, and Bailey). We discuss Astrology and reveal our Sun, Moon, and Rising (i.e. our Zodiac signs). We are most definitely not professionals. In fact, I didn’t know there were other signs and different elements associated with the signs. I’m also very skeptical about Zodiacs, but there definitely were some eerily accurate descriptions...
