  • 4. Being Misunderstood: It's Not Me, It's You...or Is It Me?
    2025/06/04

    Not everyone is going to "get" us—but being misunderstood still stings.

    In this episode, Stefanie Michele (coach + somatic practitioner) and Sarah Dosanjh (psychotherapist + author) dig into the uncomfortable and triggering feeling of being misunderstood—especially in a world that thrives on hot takes and out-of-context clips.

    From the chaos of YouTube comments to subtle miscommunications in daily life, they explore what gets activated when people don’t “get” us, why it’s not always about ego, and how to stay rooted in your own truth without needing to over-explain.

    They’re not here to convince anyone of anything. Just a sharp, honest conversation about the gap between what we mean and what people hear—and how to hold your ground anyway.

  • 3. I Tried to Change but My Personality Said No
    2025/05/21

    In this episode, psychotherapist Sarah Dosanjh and coach/somatic practitioner Stefanie Michele unpack the messy truth about personal growth.

    Can we actually change who we are, or are we just managing symptoms with nicer language?

    They get real about procrastination, personality quirks, self-perception, and the parts of us that therapy just won’t touch.

    Through personal stories and client insights, they explore the line between acceptance and accountability — and why some things evolve, while others might be here to stay.

    It’s not a self-help pep talk.

    It’s a nuanced look at what we can shift… and what we might need to stop fighting.

  • 2. An Extrovert and an Introvert Walk Into a Podcast...
    2025/05/14

    In this episode, Stef and Sarah—one a lifelong extrovert, the other a card-carrying introvert—dive into the messy, often misunderstood world of personality types. They break down common myths (no, not all introverts are shy, and not all extroverts are party animals) and explore how these traits actually play out in real life: in social situations, relationships, and the awkward in-between moments like transitions or obligations we’d rather skip.

    This isn’t just a surface-level chat about “people who like people” versus “people who like books.” It’s a deeper conversation about nervous system regulation, attachment styles, and how anxiety sometimes disguises itself as personality. With personal stories, curiosity, and some well-placed eye-rolls at pop psychology tropes, they unpack the emotional terrain of introversion and extroversion—and why it matters.

    If you’ve ever felt misunderstood in your need for space or your need for connection, or you’re navigating relationships where your energy doesn’t quite match someone else’s, this episode offers insight, compassion, and some much-needed clarity.
