We’ve been getting introversion and extroversion wrong for years.

It’s not about being shy, quiet, or outgoing. It’s about how your brain processes stimulation, energy, and connection.

In this video, I’ll break down what it actually means to be an introvert, what ambiversion is, and how to find your natural energy balance based on the science from Quiet by Susan Cain and The Introvert Advantage by Marti Olsen Laney, Psy.D
