I Swear I’m An Introvert

I Swear I’m An Introvert

I Swear I’m an Introvert is where women’s empowerment, entrepreneurship, and mental health awareness meet real, unfiltered conversations. Hosted by entrepreneur, speaker, and unapologetic introvert Lindsey T. Evans, Your Savvy SheEO, this podcast shines a spotlight on the journeys of Black female business owners — from their earliest childhood experiences to the triumphs (and challenges) of building successful businesses. Through heartfelt interviews and her own transparent storytelling, Lindsey creates a space where we talk about the things women experience but often keep silent about. Each episode is an invitation to break the silence, normalize the struggles, and celebrate the wins — with a mission to inspire Black women and ensure little brown girls see that they, too, can build the life and success they deserve. If you believe in representation, real talk, and redefining what success looks like, grab your coffee (or your cozy blanket) and join the conversation.
