Author: Francine Mends

I’m a guacamole lover, recovering doctor, and the founder of Evolving Conversations, where I help introverts who crave more connection improve their deep conversation skills through courses and 1-1 consulting. I’m a long-time New Yorker-turned-expat and nomad with a BA in Psychology from NYU and an MD from Weill Cornell Medical College. You can check out my fun quiz called What’s Your Introvert Conversation Style? Follow me on Medium, where I write about relationships, personal development, travel, and psychology.
