Summary
As an introverted woman in business, I've often heard rash generalizations that makes me pause and think, "Does this actually apply to me?" More often than not, it doesn't.
In today's episode, I'm unpacking the common misconceptions about introverts in business, and how those generalizations can quietly hold you back. From the idea that introverts can't show up on social media to assumptions about visibility, networking, and even travel, there are so many narratives that simply aren't true.
If you've ever felt like you have to force yourself into a version of business that doesn't fit, this conversation will give you a new perspective. You don't need to change who you are to succeed, you just need to understand how to work with your strengths, not against them.
Lacking the tools to reach your goals in business? Try She's Equipt!

| 0:00.0 | This is she's equipped with Jennifer Allwood, a podcast for Christian women in business who want to earn more from their God-given talent, grow their impact, and lead with faith. |
| 0:10.0 | Well, hello, friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I literally was, I mean, 10 seconds ago, I took a sip of a brand new, like, drink that I'm trying with collagen and all the things in it, brand new, |
| 0:25.2 | and I just dribbled it down my sweatshirt. And so if you can see that on the YouTube, so I apologize, |
| 0:29.4 | we're just going, we're just going with it. If you're also watching on YouTube, yes, I know |
| 0:34.0 | my hair is exceptionally curly. If you do not follow me on Instagram or Facebook, then you possibly don't know that I have |
| 0:40.6 | been losing my hair. |
| 0:42.2 | It started around the holidays. |
| 0:44.9 | I can give you some ideas as to what I just go over to my Instagram and look for a highlight |
| 0:48.9 | reel on hair loss. |
| 0:50.5 | That would just be easiest. |
| 0:51.4 | But like, look at how these curls be curling, friends. I mean, |
| 0:55.9 | they are, these curls be banging. So there's that. I know it looks really short. I told my husband, |
| 1:01.2 | I look like little orphany and, but that's blonde. But it'll get long. It'll look totally different |
| 1:07.1 | in 60 days. So I'm stoked. Okay. I'm stoked with the topic for today, which I have |
| 1:12.6 | talked about on previous episodes. It's been years, though, about being an introvert in business |
| 1:19.8 | and how we're misunderstood in business, but also how we make really powerful entrepreneurs |
| 1:25.4 | and how people just really misunderstand introverts. And so if you |
| 1:31.9 | like this podcast a lot, in my head, I was thinking earlier, I wonder if next week I should do |
| 1:37.3 | one on extroverts. Even though I'm not an extrovert, I feel like I should maybe give those of you |
| 1:42.8 | that are extroverts listening to the show ample screen time here. |
| 1:47.7 | So let me know on YouTube down in the comments if you are an extrovert who would like a podcast on that. |
