"I’m an introvert... but what I do for a living is an extroverts dream.”

Ever felt like your personality didn’t quite match your job title? This week on Embrace the Squiggle, Nellie Beckett gets real about navigating that exact tension—and how she’s turned it into one of her biggest strengths.

From nonprofit gigs and teaching in Baltimore to creating meaningful community connections in public radio across the Deep South, Nellie’s story is a masterclass in showing up, even when you’re not sure what’s next.
