Do you have a friend who craves deep, meaningful conversations, champions your dreams, and feels emotions with unmatched intensity? If so, you might have an NF (Intuitive Feeler) friend! Known for their depth, passion, and emotional intelligence, NFs (ENFJ, INFJ, ENFP, INFP) are the visionaries, dreamers, and counselors of the friendship world.
But with their high expectations, sensitivity, and desire for novelty, friendships with NFs can be both deeply rewarding and occasionally challenging. In this episode, we break down the NF friend using the TRUE framework (Trust, Respect, Understanding, Encouragement) to explore:
â Why NFs form soul-level connections but can struggle with feeling unseen or lonely.â How their idealism and deep emotions impact friendshipsâfor better or worse.â Their love for novelty and growthâand how boredom can create restlessness.â How to be a great friend to an NFâand what they need in return.
If youâre an NF, this episode will help you understand your friendship patterns and challenges. If you have an NF in your life, youâll gain insight into what makes them such inspiring and devoted friends.

Are you looking for a steady, dependable friend who always remembers birthdays, follows through on commitments, and shows up when it counts? Then you need an SJ friend! In this episode, we explore the Guardian temperament (SJ types: ESFJ, ISFJ, ESTJ, ISTJ)âthe friends who hold everything together with their structure, loyalty, and strong sense of responsibility.
But just like every type, SJs have friendship strengths and struggles. While theyâre incredibly reliable and thoughtful, they can also be overly rigid, controlling, or struggle with emotional connection and encouragement.
Join me as we break down the SJ friend using the TRUE friendship framework:â True â Their unmatched loyalty and dependabilityâbut also their struggles with control and holding grudges.â Respect â How SJs show up for others but sometimes struggle with boundaries or taking on too much responsibility.â Understanding â The difference between emotionally attuned SFJs and logical, solution-focused STJs (and how that impacts listening and empathy).â Encouragement â Why SJs show support through actions rather than wordsâand why SFJs may need reassurance but struggle to ask for it.
Whether youâre an SJ, have an SJ friend, or just want to deepen your understanding of different friendship dynamics, this episode is packed with insights, humor, and practical takeaways. Tune in now!

In this episode, we delve into the age-old debate of nature versus nurture and its impact on our temperament.
Discover the findings of an eighty-year Harvard happiness study, revealing that 50% of our happiness capacity is determined by our temperament, which is set at birth. Despite this, we often focus on changing our circumstances rather than accepting our inherent strengths. We explore how temperament influences our reactions to life's challenges and how understanding our children's temperament is crucial for effective parenting.
Drawing from real-life examples and psychological research, we examine how temperament manifests from infancy and shapes our experiences and interactions. From fussy babies to strong-willed toddlers, each child exhibits unique traits that remain consistent throughout their lives.
Join us as we explore the four main personality patterns: Cooperators (Ox), and (Human) Challengers (Lion), and (Scarecrows). Through anecdotes and character analyses from literature, such as "The Wizard of Oz," we gain insight into the characteristics and motivations of each personality type.
Don't miss out on practical tips for parenting and fostering harmony within your family, tailored to the specific needs of each personality pattern. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of nature versus nurture and its profound impact on our lives.

Making friends as an adult is harder than anyone ever warned us about. Unlike childhood, where friendships formed effortlessly on the playground, or college, where connections were built into dorm life, adulthood throws us new challengesâbusy schedules, shifting priorities, and the reality that making (and keeping) friendships takes effort.
This is a topic I love and have spent a lot of time thinking about. Years ago, I led a seminar on friendship and connection, and despite facing plenty of obstacles, Iâve been able to build an incredible, supportive group of friends. But it wasnât by accidentâit was by understanding what makes friendships work and taking intentional steps to cultivate them.
Recently, I came across Mel Robbinsâ Three Pillars of FriendshipâProximity, Time/Phase of Life, and Energyâand I found myself nodding along because, yes, these are the things that make or break friendships. I also love her Let Them Philosophy, but what Iâve also embraced is the âLet Meâ Approachâthe idea that Let me be the one to reach out, Let me be the one to host the party, Let me take responsibility for building the connections I want in my life.
In this episode, Iâm diving into all of thisâwhy making friends in adulthood is hard, how to navigate it, and how to take action to build real, meaningful relationships.
And stay tuned, because in upcoming episodes, Iâll be exploring the different types of friends based on personalityâwhat strengths they bring to relationships, where imbalances may show up, and how to cultivate deeper connections by understanding temperament.
If youâve been struggling to find or deepen friendships, or just want to be more intentional about the relationships in your life, this episode is for you.

In todayâs episode, weâre diving into the principles of Value Creation Kid, a proven roadmap to raising financially competent, responsible, and resilient kids. Joining us is Lee Benson, a seasoned entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience as a CEO. Lee grew and sold his company, Able Aerospace, for 9-figures and now helps low income families thrive.

Or that your parents were too drunk or high to care for you or take you to the doctor if needed?Household Dysfunction
Parental Separation or Divorce:Were your parents ever separated or divorced?Domestic Violence:Did your mother or stepmother (or another household adult) often get pushed, grabbed, slapped, or have something thrown at them?

Are you struggling to find a therapist who truly understands and connects with your child? Youâre not alone. Pediatricians tell me that over half of the concerns they see in their practice are tied to mental healthâwhether itâs the child the parents, or both.
Tody, Iâm thrilled to introduce you to a mom Iâve had the honor of coaching. Sheâs an incredible parent, a natural caregiver, and a community leader. As a Type 2 on the Enneagram and an ESFJ in the Myers-Briggs system, her personality is known for warmth, compassion, and generosity. Yet, her intuitive and sensitive INFP Type 4 daughter needed a different approach to thrive.
In this episode, youâll hear how our sessionsâworking one-on-one with her daughter and then together as a familyâhelped transform their relationship. This journey gave them tools to embrace their differences, compromise effectively, and connect more deeply.
If youâre ready to take the first step toward transforming your relationship with your child, sign up for a free consultation today. Your familyâs breakthrough may be closer than you think!

What do you really want? Itâs a question we often answer with things we donât haveâa bigger house, a better job, more time. But what if the most powerful wants are the ones you already have? The partner you chose, the kids you prayed for, the home you once dreamed of, or the life you built step by step.
In this episode, weâll explore:âš Deciding again: Stop living in default mode. Revisit your goals, your routines, your identity, and ask yourself: âDo I still choose this?ââš Wanting what you already have: Go beyond gratitude and affirm the value of whatâs in front of youâyour relationships, home, family, and even yourself.âš Powerful exercises:
Write 25 things you want, big or small, to reconnect with your desires.Make a second list of 25 things you already have that you still want.When you choose your life again, you shift from scarcity to abundance. You rediscover joy in what youâve built and set the stage for growthânot out of longing, but from appreciation.
So, take a moment. Look around. Ask yourself:What do I want? What do I already have that I still want?
If change scares you, remember this: Growth doesnât mean becoming someone newâit means becoming a better version of yourself. Keep moving forward, keep evolving, and keep choosing your life. đČ
Tune in and discover how deciding again can transform your perspective and your future.

We'll explore how to identify social tendencies in yourself, your partner, or your children and understand how this instinct can enrich relationships.
Plus, learn why some Enneagram types with this instinct may not fit the typical descriptions and discover the importance of balancing the social drive with other instincts.
