Join me as I proudly share the empowering concept of being unapologetically introverted. Growing up in England, where apologising was almost second nature, I've come to embrace my introversion without apology and that is no small-shift.

This shift has significantly boosted my confidence and self-belief - more so now that I understand and take pride in being an Open Introvert.

Through a personal story involving two siblings: Melody, an introvert, and Kyla, an extravert, I explore with their permission how stereotyping often leads well-meaning extroverts astray. I hope to educate extraverts about our unique needs which can foster better understanding rather than trying to change us.

My journey through challenges like an unsuitable marriage and burnout shows the importance of balancing one's true nature with life's demands.
