Sara Watkins with Introvert Dear talks about the difficulty of making friends with other parents

Episode 1390: When the Scariest Part of Parenthood Is Socializing With Other Parents by Sara Watkins with Introvert Dear

Jenn Granneman is the founder of Introvert, Dear and author of The Secret Lives of Introverts. She started Introvert, Dear in 2013 as her personal blog. She was living with an extroverted roommate, dating an extroverted guy, and working an extroverted job (teaching 4th grade). Jenn wanted to write about what it was like being an introvert living in an extrovert's world.

In true introvert form, she wrote her blog anonymously for almost two years. Jenn had no desire to be in the spotlight. And she had no idea her little blog would become this! Now, with the help of quiet ones around the world, she is on a mission: to let introverts everywhere know it's okay to be who they are.

Kristine Klussman shares the power of one simple question.

Episode 1388: The Power of One Simple Question by Kristine Klussman on How To Find Better Connections in Life

Kristine Klussman specialized in Health Psychology (Behavioral Medicine) at Harvard Medical School, then founded and ran the Health Psychology program and post-doctoral training programs at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. She found her work with cancer and cardiac patients inspiring, uplifiting, and humbling. She found so many of those going through life-threatening illness were - sometimes for the first time in their lives - absolutely clear what truly mattered to them: authenticity and connection. In 2016, she founded a non-profit to focus full-time on trying to understand, explain and teach what she now believes is the single most meaningful and rewarding aspect of our existence.
