Michaela Chung: World Traveler, Zombie Fighter, and Introvert Expert

Michaela Chung is the founder of Introvert Spring where she helps introverts thrive and be more awesome.

Three years ago, she quit her job, sold everything that wouldn’t fit in a suitcase, and set out on a hero’s journey toward a life of greater meaning and purpose.

She's a globe-trotter, having lived in several different countries Mexico, Colombia, Canada, and Australia. 

She's currently writing a book on introvert charisma that's due out on bookshelves next year. She's published over 200 articles on her blog, and she's been featured in Dr. Arnie Kozak's book The Everything Guide to the Introvert Edge and Patricia Weber's Introvert Communication Toolkit.

Meaning and purpose? Check.

She also has an awesome free gift for Become More Compelling readers: Alone But Not Lonely: 7 Steps To True Connection For Introverts.

In this conversation, we talk about why the word "should" can be toxic, and what to replace "should" with. We also talk about everything from meditation practices to zombie outbreaks.
