From Quiet Achiever to Quiet Warrior: Trauma, Culture, and True Safety with Serena Low

In this insightful episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Sana sits down with Serena Low—former lawyer turned introvert coach—for a deep and honest conversation about trauma, cultural conditioning, and the hidden struggles of high-functioning introverts. Together, they explore how societal norms often invalidate quiet personalities, leading to internalized trauma and performance-based self-worth. Serena unpacks how safety must be embodied, not performed, and offers tangible micro-steps to help introverts reclaim confidence, visibility, and leadership without compromising who they are.
