The Traveling IntrovertAuthor: The Career Introvert
A bite-sized podcast about traveling while running a business and being an introvert. Not knowing what introversion was until my 30s, I feel that I wasted some of my early years by not really understanding myself. An inspiration for my business is that I want to help others understand themselves better, earlier on in their careers and their lives. Introversion is a very misunderstood area introverts can suffer mentally and physically because people typecast them or act negatively towards them. Its not nice to be trapped in a little box. When you label somebody, they tend to act like that label, which stops people from achieving their true potential. I dont let being an introvert define me, I let it guide me.

Why Introvert Burnout Goes Unnoticed
Episode 433
Tuesday, 15 July, 2025
This episode dives into the hidden and gradual nature of burnout, especially as it affects introverts. It breaks down the 12 stages of burnout, explaining how it’s not a sudden switch but a slow process that often goes unnoticed until it's severe. The stages include feeling the need to prove oneself, working harder, neglecting personal needs, displacing conflict, revising values (where work takes over everything), denial of problems, isolation, noticeable behavioral changes, feeling detached, experiencing inner emptiness, depression, and complete mental and physical burnout.The episode highlights how burnout can be harder to spot in introverts because signs like withdrawal and neglecting needs often look like normal behavior rather than red flags. Introverts may also hide burnout well by creating systems to appear productive or by downplaying their struggles. It also addresses why people ignore the warning signs, linking it to societal expectations and the tendency to overcompensate for being quiet.The solution isn’t big productivity hacks but rather quiet structure, boundaries, micro-recharges, and support that actually works for introverts' needs. The key message is to recognize burnout early and make small, continuous changes to prevent it from worsening.
