1126 – The Introvert’s Guide to Confidence & Connection with Jenny Valentish
The Introvert’s Guide to Confidence & Connection
In this honest and empowering episode, I speak with journalist and author Jenny Valentish about her upcoming book, The Introvert’s Guide to Leaving the House. Jenny shares her journey from self-described sociophobe to someone who’s now a keynote speaker and advocate for self-understanding and personal growth.
We discuss:
- Social anxiety and the introvert’s experience
- How to prepare for interactions that feel overwhelming
- Why introverts need to recharge differently
- The power of playing a role to boost confidence
- Reframing how we see our own awkwardness or overthinking
If you’ve ever felt anxious walking into a room, avoided a social event, or struggled with imposter syndrome—this episode is for you.
