In this episode of Burnout Banter, Jeff and Rachelle explore how introversion, while often misunderstood, can be a surprising contributor to burnout. Using the HuffPost article, "There Are 4 Types Of Introverts — Which One Are You?", as a launch point, they break down the four main types—social, thinking, anxious, and restrained—and examine how each may be vulnerable to specific patterns of burnout.

They also challenge the common narrative that being an introvert is a barrier to connection, growth, or leadership. Many people use the label “introvert” as an excuse to avoid necessary social or professional interactions, which can actually increase stress, create isolation, and amplify burnout. This episode offers a fresh perspective on how honoring your introverted nature doesn’t mean hiding from the world—it means learning how to engage with it in ways that support your energy and wellbeing.
