Feelings...and Other Inconveniences

2. An Extrovert and an Introvert Walk Into a Podcast...


Listen Later

In this episode, Stef and Sarah—one a lifelong extrovert, the other a card-carrying introvert—dive into the messy, often misunderstood world of personality types. They break down common myths (no, not all introverts are shy, and not all extroverts are party animals) and explore how these traits actually play out in real life: in social situations, relationships, and the awkward in-between moments like transitions or obligations we'd rather skip.

This isn't just a surface-level chat about "people who like people" versus "people who like books." It's a deeper conversation about nervous system regulation, attachment styles, and how anxiety sometimes disguises itself as personality. With personal stories, curiosity, and some well-placed eye-rolls at pop psychology tropes, they unpack the emotional terrain of introversion and extroversion—and why it matters.

If you've ever felt misunderstood in your need for space or your need for connection, or you're navigating relationships where your energy doesn't quite match someone else's, this episode offers insight, compassion, and some much-needed clarity.
