The Introverted Misfit – with Caroline Smith

Épisode 249

lundi 8 décembre 2025 • Durée 37:06

Caroline Smith founded her business, The Introverted Misfit, to help shy, awkward introverts become socially confident versions of themselves so they can have healthy, manageable social lives.

Now Caroline helps fellow introverts (whether they are autistic or not) learn how to connect with others, create fruitful relationships, and have a manageable social life – without acting like someone they're not!

During this episode, you will hear Caroline talk about:

When she realized that she was autistic
Her experience dealing with social anxiety
Why she decided to help people become more socially confident
The role of self-acceptance in making new friends and connections
Her advice for autistic people who struggle with social cues
Why it's important not to hyperfocus on your own social mistakes
The importance of having coping mechanisms for overwhelming social situations
How her "Misfit Meetups" bring people together to socialize in a low-pressure, fun environment

Tourette Syndrome in the public eye – with Seamus Evans

Épisode 149

lundi 14 mars 2022 • Durée 44:48

At his first job as a TV host, Seamus Evans disclosed his Tourette Syndrome. That revelation almost ended his dream career.

Now he is an ambassador for Tourette Syndrome Association Australia and a keynote speaker who shares his story to inspire and encourage kids and adults with Tourette's.

In this episode, Seamus talks about his experience growing up with Tourette's, how he taught himself to transform his tics (both on and off the air), how his sense of humor helps him in social situations, and why he encourages everyone to embrace their flaws – because in Seamus' words, "normal is boring."
