Have you ever met someone who lights up every room… and then says they’re actually an introvert?

Same.

In this episode of Lead Like a Girl — empowering everyday women through our stories — we’re getting real about introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts… and why this conversation matters way more than a personality label.

Because this isn’t about being shy or outgoing.
It’s about energy.

How you show up.
How you recharge.
And how that impacts your relationships, leadership, and communication.

We talk about the surprising truth that a lot of high-energy, social women are actually introverts… how group settings can drain some people and fuel others… and why silence in a meeting does NOT mean someone isn’t engaged.

We also get into how to advocate for yourself in conversations, how to make space for different personalities, and why self-awareness might be one of the most underrated leadership skills.

This one feels like a conversation every team, every friend group, and honestly every woman needs to hear.
