Episode Synopsis


In this episode, we offer a blend of perspectives on social snafus: 🦋Victor, a Leo social butterfly who thrives in extroverted outings, and 🏡Heather, a homebody introvert who moved from the boozy Midwest🍻 to Austin's spiritual community🌀, learning valuable lessons along the way. Together, we address two major social hazards: the awkwardness of anxiety-inducing small talk, and the dangers of toxic vulnerability. We share tips to make small talk and build rapport, and strategies to identify and avoid energy vampires who use feigned “vulnerability” power plays for personal gain.
