Send us Fan MailI am joined again with my INTJ sister-in-law, Leah. We scour the internet for a list of INTJ misconceptions and share the ones that really speak out to us. The first half of the episode, we break down these misconceptions and explain why they’re inaccurate. Then the second half really is just two INTJs ranting about random stuff. Enjoy!All the good stuff: https://linktr.ee/thetalka
S2E1 | Will 2021 Be Another Year for the Introverts?
Send us Fan MailFirst episode of Season 2. Thanks for coming back for more! What great way to start the new season, but with an introvert episode? In this episode, I’ll be talking about whether I think 2021 will be another year for the introverts and why. If you’re interested in that board game I mentioned, here’s the link: https://www.amazon.com/Level-99-Games-Millennium-Blades/dp/1936920573 Don’
S1E29 | Goodbye 2020
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we say goodbye to 2020 and to Season 1 of The Talkative Introvert Podcast. I do a recap on this year as it relates to me and the podcast. (I’m sure people don’t need a recap on everything that has been going on this year.) I also talk about what to look forward to in Season Two.

S1E28 | Social Media Cleanse
Send us Fan MailThere’s a lot of things to hate and love about social media and in this episode, I talk about the good and the bad. I also briefly talk about my opinion on The Social Dilemma documentary on Netflix and how it kind of sparked this episode. Let me know about how you felt about the documentary. What’s your love/hate relationship with social media? Is it more love or more hate or somew
S1E27 | Talking Zodiacs w/ the Bewitches
Send us Fan MailI am joined again by the Bewitches (Katrina, Leah, and Bailey). We discuss Astrology and reveal our Sun, Moon, and Rising (i.e. our Zodiac signs). We are most definitely not professionals. In fact, I didn’t know there were other signs and different elements associated with the signs. I’m also very skeptical about Zodiacs, but there definitely were some eerily accurate descriptions
S1E26 | There's Always Something to be Grateful for
Send us Fan MailIt’s Thanksgiving week in the U.S. and I reflect back on my last episode. This year has been rough for a lot of people, but there’s still some positives amidst all this negativity. I also went to reddit and asked the introvert redditors how they prep and recharge during holiday events. Stick to the end for the advice I got. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, and I hope you can find some
S1E25 | I'm Very Tired
Send us Fan MailWith everything going on in the world, I feel like it is definitely affecting my psyche. I’m very tired and very exhausted from it all. I did go into a little political rant, but it’s probably not what you’re thinking. I’m not necessarily discussing which party is better than the other. I also give a bit of a podcast journey update. This marks my 25th episode, which according to B
S1E24 | Introverts Going Back to the Office
Send us Fan MailA lot of businesses are opening back up and there’s already discussions about going back to the office. Although I’m happy to hear businesses are opening back up, the office, however, not so much. For some extroverts, they may be ecstatic for the work life to go back to how it was and for the day to day interactions with their colleagues. However, this can be a different story for
S1E23 | Spooky Stories w/ the Bewitches
Send us Fan MailIt is almost Halloween! My absolute favorite holiday. To celebrate, I am joined by my girls and we share some spooky stories. Oddly, during this episode, we kept experiencing some inconvenient technical difficulties. A coincidence? I hope so! The episode isn’t that scary, but if you get spooked easily like me, make sure to watch some good, wholesome Disney movies afterwards! LOL! L
S1E22 | Body Dysmorphia & Me
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I’m going to talk about Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). This is kind of a continuation from my Therapy episode. Go check that out if you haven’t heard it already. I’m going to talk about how I got into therapy and how I associate with BDD. I briefly explain what BDD is and some of the symptoms. If you want to know more about BDD, please go check out the BDD Foundat
