41 | Beyond Labels: Thriving as a Sensitive Introvert, Ambivert, or Extrovert

Introvert. Extrovert. Ambivert.

We hear these words all the time, but if you’re a highly sensitive woman, those labels often feel too small to capture your lived experience.

In today’s episode, I explore how sensitivity and social energy intersect and why so many highly sensitive people assume they’re introverts when what they could really be navigating is nervous system overstimulation.

This conversation was sparked by a recent dinner where someone casually referred to me as an introvert and it was a moment that unexpectedly brought up old stories about what “introvert” means… quiet, withdrawn, less than. So we’re pulling apart those narratives and reframing how sensitive women can understand their energy needs with more compassion and clarity.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

🩵 The real psychological definitions of introvert, extrovert, and ambivert
🩵 The difference between being sensitive and your social energy type
🩵 How accepting your sensitivity can reduce shame and social burnout
🩵 How to tell whether you truly need solitude or simply nervous system regulation
🩵 Practical tools for sensitive introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts

This episode is for you if you’ve ever:

✨ Felt misunderstood by labels

✨ Canceled plans out of overwhelm (and then regretted it)

✨ Thought, “Why can’t I handle social situations like everyone else?”

✨ Wanted both deep rest and meaningful connection

If you’re ready to stop navigating your sensitivity alone, I have a gentle offering for you.
