  When Angelina Jolie shared that she carries a BRCA1 mutation and chose a preventive double mastectomy, she did more than tell her story—she shifted the behavior of thousands of women worldwide. Rates of risk‑reducing mastectomy rose sharply after her announcement, especially among women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, who can face a lifetime breast cancer risk of 60–70% or more.

The extrovert brings motion, momentum, and social ease. The introvert brings calm, depth, and emotional steadiness. It’s not “y...
