The Talkative Introvert - podcast cover

The Talkative Introvert

Hey everyone! My name is Meliza, and I'm the host of The Talkative Introvert Podcast. As the title suggests, I am very much an introvert, but I love to talk and what better place for a talkative introvert than a podcast? My episodes started off very introvert-centric and it’s still a subject I love talking about and will bring up in my episodes. However, as my podcast progresses, I’ve really enjoyed talking about anything and everything. I also started opening up my podcast to different individuals who have stories to tell and want a place to tell them. You’ll find episodes about introversion, body dysmorphia, personality types, emotional energy, and so much more. Every episode is a little something different. So, if you’re the type of person who enjoys listening to casual conversations, then this is the podcast for you.

S4E19 | Sacramento Appreciation w/ Bailey Jorgeson

Send us a text In 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.

S4E16 | When Is It Okay to Complain? w/ Bailey Jorgeson

Send us a text Bailey found a Tik Tok video that mentioned that complaining is “bad”, whereas venting is “good”. However, I beg to differ. We love to complain, and we don’t plan to change that. So, the question is, when is it okay to complain? We list our top 3 grievances and determine if complaining really is all that bad or is it okay to complain.

S4E15 | Saying Goodbye to My Cohost

Send us a text On 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.

Send us a text My 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?
