  • Rest Is Not Laziness: How Introverts Protect Their Energy | Ep. 2

    Rest Is Not Laziness: How Introverts Protect Their Energy | Ep. 2
    Mar 13 2026
    We’re not lazy. We’re tired. And we need to rest. That goes for everyone, but especially for introverts. In this second episode of The Introvert Sisters LIVE! Podcast, Lisa Hurley and Sharon Hurley Hall break down “energy economics” and show how introversion can be protected on purpose, not by accident. Before anyone can truly rest, they often have to identify where their energy is quietly leaking. In “Rest Is Not Laziness: How Introverts Protect Their Energy,” the sisters expose the quiet energy leaks that look normal until they add up, such as invisible labor, micro-obligations, group chats, overexplaining, digital fatigue, and (this is one of the worst) the pressure to always be reachable. In this episode, viewers and listeners will take away practical ways to:Identify hidden energy leaks Combat digital and mental fatigueSpot invisible obligations that drain energy Set clear boundaries around availability, messaging, and response timeRelease unpaid emotional caretaking without guilt or overexplainingBuild a rest plan that supports introversion and real life.This episode is a reminder that protecting your energy is not selfish. It is wise, necessary, and deeply aligned with how many introverted people move through the world.Enjoy the episode, and join Lisa and Sharon every other Friday at noon eastern time for honest conversations, cultural insights, and practical wisdom that every introverted person needs.

These new expats not only have to adjust to their new home, but also find ways to fit in and not feel like outsiders. This tends to be easy for extroverts, but for introverts, not so much. In their latest Off-Topic episode, Sharon and Lisa share their experiences as lifelong expats, and strategies for how introverts can have an easier, more enjoyable expat journey.
