Dear 2022: you were beautiful. And rough + tumble; & a year of finding belonging & unraveling what that means all over again. You were “on the brink.” One of accomplishment and gratitude, and also one that reminded me (as an adult) how much I need community and a healthy dose of therapy to actually get through it all & still be wildly and freely ‘me’ and in childlike wonder, to still be madly in love with life.
Read MoreIf you’re finding yourself mistyping on a regular basis, or even caught between two or three or more types - never fear! There’s a few different things to consider. And if you have a few people in your life that maybe swing back and forth between types, that’s okay - they’re also on their own journey, and they have just as much to learn and garner from their own experience after all.

For me, it’s chasing down a glorious sunset after a day in the sea, wind playing with my hair and nearly chapping my face, laughing with my loved ones. It’s carefree, honestly wild, and vulnerable. These aren’t things that I do. They’re scenarios that I am in. 90% of the time, no one is watching me feel these things, and I am not in the scenarios thinking, “I am my whole self.” What leads you to your “whole self scenario,” and how does that fit into your everyday? Once you know - harness that, and build it into your life’s makeup and routine.
Read MoreWe collected what each type appreciated and affirmed about themselves personally, and connected it with each person’s “best.” While it might be easy to stereotype what type is a “people” type or a “task” type or a “challenge” type, it’s important to remember that each individual has a personal story and framework that goes along with that. These particular aspects affirm each type, but are also for everyone.
