What do high-energy spin classes and introverts have in common? They both want out of the box they’ve been put in.
You probably know me as calm. Thoughtful. Subtle.
The one who writes those quietly intense carousels. The one who takes her time before speaking. Grounded. Measured. Deliberate. (At least, I hope.)
And then there’s… spin class me.
Unhinged, in the best way.
I go a couple times a week, and in that room? I’m not quiet.
I’m a front row girlie. I “woo.” I high-five strangers. I scream along to Taylor Swift like the Millennial I am.
And mid-sweat the other day, I realized: if someone only knew me online, this would look completely off-brand. But it’s not.
Because that version of me? She’s also real.
She’s not the one you meet in meetings or on Instagram. But she’s me. And I bet you have a version of that too — a contradiction that doesn’t quite fit the label.
You’re not just “the introvert.” You’re not just the calm one, the quiet one, the one who thinks before she speaks.
You’re a mix. A combination. A pattern that only you can pull off.
This episode is about leaning into those contradictions — and why the parts of you that feel “off-brand” might actually be the most magnetic.
It's your permission slip to break your own label — even just once this week.
