The conversations
women keep silent.
I Swear I'm An Introvert 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.
The mission is simple: 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 — this podcast is yours.

Healing is Done in Community — Meet Arrie Simpson
The Heart of Counseling & Wellness PLLC · Josephine's Way NFP
Arrie Simpson
Therapist, Group Practice Owner · Founder, Josephine's Way NFP
She left a practice she loved because God made it crystal clear it was time. She thought it would just be her. She looked up and had a whole staff. Arrie Simpson opens up about growing up in a chaotic household that taught her how to adapt, finding her identity as an introvert who learned to turn it on when needed, building a group practice of seven therapists — six of them Black women — and running a nonprofit dedicated to bridging the gap between underserved communities and quality mental health care. This is the conversation Black women in business need to hear.
