Amy Morin is the well known author of the best selling book, 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do.  In 2013, she wrote an article that went viral and, shortly after, it was picked up by Forbes and became the most read article on that site, garnering over 10 million views. Since then Amy has done two Ted talks including one entitled "Letting Go of What's Holding You Back." She talks with us about what it takes to be mentally strong and how to properly deal with times of stress and turmoil. Amy is a wealth of wisdom and has some great insights that anyone, introvert or extrovert, can use in their everyday lives.

Awwwwwwww.  Besides refreshing and healing our bodies, sleep plays other roles in our lives such as acting as an escape and the ability to take us to strange places in our dreams.

It's that fun time of year when extroverts get to dress up and be someone they're not, and introverts get to....dress up and be someone they're not!

Today we have a special guest, Jenn Granneman, founder of itnrovertdear.com, one of the fastest growing blogs for introverts and highly sensitive people.  Jenn describes the roles of introvert women and how to tell if you have the traits to be a highly sensitive person and what you can do to manage social situations.

Do you wear different personality hats around different groups of people? Are extroverts' more outward personality more susceptible to these changes?  Personalities mold to different types of people and some of us are more moldable than others.  

Sit back, relax, grab some popcorn and enjoy the story of how introvert extrovert came to be, including the prior podcasts and the shaky start.
