Introvert, Extrovert, or Ambivert? How T...

Gillian Berner
About this episode

The older I get, the more I realize that so much of our stress, burnout, disconnectedness and anxiety can be a result of living out of alignment with our nature and temperament, and a key part of that nature is our tendency towards introversion or extroversion. 

In this episode, we’re breaking down what it really means to be an introvert, extrovert, ambivert, or omnivert, and how your personality type shapes your energy, relationships, career, and overall mental health.

Whether you feel drained after social events, thrive in big groups, or swing between both worlds, this deep dive will help you understand your natural temperament, and how to honour it while still growing outside your comfort zone.

Tune in to hear about: 

✅ The science behind introversion vs extroversion (dopamine, arousal theory)

✅ How to know if you’re an introvert, extrovert, ambivert, or omnivert... and why it's a scale

✅ Myths about introverts (no, they’re not socially anxious or antisocial!) and extroverts (yes, they need downtime too!)

✅ How introverts and extroverts can thrive in the workplace without burning out

✅ Picking the right job and work environment for your temperament 

✅ Dating & relationship tips for introverts vs extroverts — and how to make different energy needs work together

✅ Self-care strategies: how introverts can recharge and how extroverts can avoid burnout

✅ Creating a "restorative niche" for introverts to return to their true self 

✅ Why extroverts crave novelty and shared experience

✅ Why you don’t need to box yourself into one label, and how to expand your window of tolerance / “social stamina”

If you’ve ever Googled things like “am I an introvert or extrovert,” “how to recharge as an introvert,” or “introvert vs extrovert relationships,” this one’s for you.
