Welcome to The Introverted Misfit Podcast with me, Caroline Smith, where we discuss topics related to the human experience of connection and communication — from an introverted misfit’s perspective.

Growing up as a neurodivergent introverted woman with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - a combination that fueled my severe social anxiety for almost a decade - I used to think the only way to be a part of a community was to exude lively, extroverted sociability. As I grew into myself, however, I realized that each one of us has a valuable place in society, no matter what your personality type is or what diagnosis you may have. Through this podcast, you’ll learn to let go of your fears, improve your communication skills, master emotional intelligence, and build thriving relationships, all without having to act like someone you will never be.

We’ll talk about introversion, extraversion, social anxiety, self-confidence, communication styles, neurodivergence, relationships of all kinds, building community, and anything under the sun that demonstrates the importance of quality relationships, managing social burnout, and coming to terms with who you are as an introverted misfit.
