Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we say goodbye to 2024 and to Season 4 of The Talkative Introvert Podcast. In gold old TTI-fashion, I’ll be doing a recap of this last season and saying farewell to 2024. Hope you guys had an amazing New Year’s! Here’s to the future and all the (hopefully mostly positive) surprises it’ll bring. Cheers! All the good stuff: https://linktr.ee/thetalkativeintrovertTheme Song by Eugene (Mikie) Manalo: https://soundcloud.com/mikieika

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Bailey and I talk about how much we appreciate Sacramento. A lot of people give Sacramento a lot of crap, especially the people we grew up with in high school, but it’s got its quirks and perks. So, we’ll share some of our favorite things, but some of our gripes as well. We both moved here when we were really young but have been here so long that we consider ourselves as true Sacramentans. All the good stuff: https://linktr.ee/thetalkativeintrovertTheme Song by Eugene (Mikie) Manalo: https://soundcloud.com/mikieika

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I am joined by Eldon Jones. Eldon is an aspiring podcaster, and he talks about his struggles with getting started. He asked how I started doing the podcast, how I planned for it, etc. I try to go over what I did, but the moral of the story is: Just do the podcast! If you have something you feel is worth saying, there’s someone out there who thinks it’s worth listening to. Eldon's YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@talk920wqgx All the good stuff: https://linktr.ee/thetalkativeintrovertTheme Song by Eugene (Mikie) Manalo: https://soundcloud.com/mikieika

Send us Fan MailOn March 8th, 2024, my husband and I had to say goodbye to our beloved, Link. I like to think of him as my little cohost and he’s been featured in my podcast art. If you’ve been a listener of the show, you would’ve heard him bark or the pitter patter of his paws in the background. This has been possibly one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through, but I sure am glad I met him. He was truly the best boy. All the good stuff: https://linktr.ee/thetalkativeintrovertTheme Song by Eugene (Mikie) Manalo: https://soundcloud.com/mikieika

Send us Fan MailMy brother joins me in this episode, and we talk about stigma around our hobbies. Some people may view our hobbies as “children’s” hobbies, but who gets to decide what kind of hobbies you should be doing as an adult and is it really all that bad? We say, mind your own business, or in this case, mind your own hobby! All the good stuff: https://linktr.ee/thetalkativeintrovertTheme Song by Eugene (Mikie) Manalo: https://soundcloud.com/mikieika

Send us Fan MailI am joined by Dr. Vernon T. Scott. We answer the question: What would your response be to a young teen/adult if they asked, how do you know if you’re ready to have sex for the first time? It’s a pretty sensitive subject and there are numerous ways to go about it. It’s definitely not a one size fits all answer. Dr. Vernon T. Scott is currently pursuing a Sex Coaching certification from Sex Coaching University and earning a second masters in Marriage and Family Therapy with a Systemic Sex Therapy specialization.Vernon has years of experience in life coaching and sexual health research and education. He is also an advocate for trans rights and fighting against rape culture and its systemic impact within society. Vernon plans to use his platform, the Heauxliloquy Podcast, to provide healthy conversations related to the nuances of sexual expression and amplify the voices of those often forgotten by society.Links: https://linktr.ee/heauxliloquy (podcast) and https://amzn.to/3vsZDm5 (book)All the good stuff: https://linktr.ee/thetalkativeintrovertTheme Song by Eugene (Mikie) Manalo: https://soundcloud.com/mikieika
