I was lucky to be introduced by Cameron by a friend – don’t you love introverts on the internet? I can’t tell you the number of people I connect with regularly who don’t live anywhere near me and Cameron is one of those wonderful souls.

This conversation was from earlier in the year and I am still trying to work out where the last few months have gone, but it’s here and I’m so excited to share it with you. Cameron is one of those people I could just talk to for hours and I know you’re going to love this episode.

 

We also chat about:

  • Understanding identities and the binaries between introverts and extroverts (as well as gender and sexuality binaries)
  • Knowing your identity for your own self awareness and then being able to embrace the fluidity of those identities;
  • Finding your own definition of what it means to be introverted, highly sensitive, empathic, instead of what society and social media defines these identities as;
  • How our patriarchal society affects everyone and doesn’t allow any of us to be who we are;
  • The way highly sensitive people are misunderstood in our society and how showing emotion is something that we’re taught we shouldn’t express;
  • How parents want to protect their children who are highly sensitive, queer, non-binary, etc but how it can cause bigger issues;
  • That everyone struggles with gender – even if you don’t question your gender;
  • Navigating being sensitive to people who have experienced oppression and how to engage with people who hold marginalised identities;
  • Listening and being really mindful of the language we use;
  • The importance of self care as a highly sensitive person.
