In this week’s episode of I Need a Friend, I chat with Amber—host of the Introverts Unmuted podcast. We dive into what it’s like to be introverted in an extroverted world, how she found her voice through podcasting, and what motherhood has taught her along the way.

Amber also opens up about the heartbreaking loss of her mom and the journey of healing. We talk about mental health, coping with grief, and how she’s created a personal “time out” spot to escape and reset during stressful times. This conversation is a powerful reminder that you can be quiet and still make noise, soft and still strong.

It’s a raw and heartfelt conversation about grief, growth, and the power of self-expression through creativity.

In this week’s episode of I Need a Friend, I’m joined by Andy—a divorced dad of two, roller coaster enthusiast, and proud cat dad to Twinkles. We chat about growing up in the Midwest, our mutual love for Cedar Point and karaoke, and how he’s navigating life after divorce. Andy opens up about the fear of being forgotten, the importance of understanding your mental health, and why opening up—surface level or deep—matters.

It’s a fun and thoughtful conversation about showing up as yourself, finding connection in unexpected places, and remembering you’re not alone in what you’re feeling.

Enjoy listening to my new friend, Andy.
