Stay Introverted Podcast

In this episode, we introduce our friend Dan Blackman, a former IT professional who moved to Orlando, Florida, and is currently pursuing a new career as a coach for corporate leaders. We dive into a range of topics with Dan, from his regular Disney adventures to his career transition, to exploring introversion and human design. We wrap up with our favorite part of the conversation. That is: how to build a healthy relationship with our to-do lists.

At the time of this recording, Steph was running on just three hours of sleep, and both of us were in a playful mood. We had also just found out that our guest couldn't make it at the last minute (no big deal—life happens). Anywho, all of this set the stage for a random, slightly unhinged conversation that bounced around topics like being a serial podcaster, wearing our sneakers until they have holes because #loyaltyiseverything, and whether our pets actually like us back. While we’re pretty confident this episode won’t blow anyone’s mind, we think you’ll still get a good laugh out of it. The only way to find out is to hit play! And if you enjoy it, please leave us a 5-star rating and review—it really helps us grow!

Join us for a discussion about the great outdoors with our friend Greg from @adventurefitnw! Here's a fun fact: Greg is the first guest to appear on two of Steph’s podcasts! You can also catch him on Episode 21 of the Becoming Human AF Podcast (coming soon!). In this episode, Greg opens up about what it's like to be an introvert who leads outdoor expeditions, including paddleboarding, skiing, and snowshoeing. He also turns the spotlight on us, asking insightful questions about how we, as introverts, approach and participate in group activities. This conversation was not only a blast but also sparked deep reflections on how we experience nature, approach leadership, and interact with others.

But we digress.  In this episode, Meliza brought out the talkative side in both of us. We had a ton of fun talking about being an introverted manager (ok maybe that part wasn’t so fun); friendships & relationships: and of course the introverted zoomies.  The introverted… zoomies? Yes, exactly. IYKYK. Otherwise, go check out the Episode. We promise, you won’t be disappointed!   If you loved this Episode with Meliza, be sure to go check out her podcast The Talkative Introvert, on all the platforms.

Hey introvert fam, welcome back! We’ve really missed you! While we’ve been away, we’ve been hard at work recording some exciting new episodes with amazing fellow introverts. But before we dive into those, we thought, what better way to kick off this new chapter of our podcast than by giving you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look? We often joke that our episodes are like staff meetings, but this time, it’s for real. We actually recorded one of our staff meetings and turned it into an episode. Why not, right? Tune in as we reflect, plan, set goals, and, of course, go off on a few tangents (because that’s just how we roll). We’d love to hear what you think about this behind-the-scenes episode!

Join Jay and Steph as we celebrate our decision to start this podcast, exactly one year ago. We chat about all the lessons learned, the mistakes made, and the ways we've both grown from it! Plus lots of hints into what's next for the pod!

In this week's episode, we're joined by our friend - the YouTuber, licensed therapist, and founder of NYC based Men's Therapy Studio - Gabi Koyenov. Gabi's NOT an introvert but after meeting him at one of our podcasters' networking events, and talking with him for hours on end about all the things, we knew we had to introduce him to our Stay Introverted community. Why? Because in a world of constant chaos and a society that is constantly demanding more of us - we felt that an insightful conversation with a therapist who is deeply committed to helping others prioritize their well being, was much needed breath of fresh air. For all of us. If you loved this discussion, and you'd like to get to know Gabi more, be sure to reach out to him on Instagram and check out his Youtube Channel, where he interviews thought leaders who are passionate about personal growth & understanding the human experience.
