It’s not that I’m an introvert.
I know I’m an extrovert with the right people.
My circle may look small, but it’s intentional.
Because my brain values safety, joy, and regulation over noise.
I’ve learned this truth:
Every human carries energy, and the brain senses it long before the mind explains it. Some connections calm the nervous system and expand your creativity. Others slowly drain your mental, emotional, and even physical energy.
That’s why I choose differently now.
Not everyone deserves access to my inner world.
This isn’t cold, it’s brain care. Chronic emotional draining keeps the brain in survival mode, and a tired brain cannot heal, create, or lead.
So I’ve made joy my GPS when it comes to association.
If the energy feels light, expansive, and honest… I stay.
If it costs my peace, clarity, or nervous system… I step back.
This year, I’m learning to protect my energy.
It’s hard. Damn, it’s hard.
But it’s necessary… because only a well-protected brain allows the best, most regulated, most extraordinary version of me to emerge. 🧠✨
“An extraordinary woman is made when she chooses joy, protects her energy, and leads with a regulated brain.” 🌷
