This is why EVERYONE wants to be an INFJ.

If you hang out in the Myer Briggs Facebook communities, sometimes it can feel like everybody wants to be an INFJ. This week, I talk about why this might be.

This Is Why INFJ Friendships Are So Disappointing

As an INFJ, it can at times feel so difficult keeping up with friendships.

In this video, I share with you why I think INFJ friendships can be so disappointing and “annoying”.

When You Feel Like You're Drowning Inside

Sometimes, even when the world thinks we’ve got it all together, we feel like we’re drowning inside.

Sure, on the outside you can get about your day with a big smile on your face, go to work, run your business, hang out with your friends, parent your kids…

But on the inside, you’re secretly holding in your pain. Your wounds.

Whether that’s from social anxiety, unresolved childhood trauma, depression and anxiety, grief, or simply the overwhelm of parenting.

The thing is- if you have all this unresolved pain inside, then you will start to see the cracks of it not only in your personal life, but in your business and work. It’s so important that you find a safe space to share what’s really going on.

I get it, normally you are the one that your friends and family turn to when life is tough. It can be hard to open up.

That’s why I’m so passionate about providing a counselling space for you. A place where you can feel truly heard and understood. A place where you can be held safely and begin healing some of these inner wounds. 

If this sounds like you, and you’re ready to take the next step in your personal healing journey, then please reach out for a counselling appointment. 

Recovering from an INFJ or Introvert Burnout

INFJ, introvert or a neurodivergent burnout as a parent can be so real. In this video I speak with you about my recent burnout that I experienced as a mother. I share some tips on how to recover from an INFJ or introvert burnout, especially as a parent.

This is my disclaimer about Myer Briggs Personality Types and my qualifications in therapy.

This has been brewing on my heart, and I feel like it’s so important to share this with you.

In this video I share a couple of things:
1. What I really think about the INFJ personality type and Myer Briggs. (ie. Is this evidence based research?) and,
2. I wanted to make it clear with you what my qualifications and experience are when it comes to my counselling private practice.

Thank you!

The Non-Negotiables of Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur as an Introvert

Guest Blog Author- Harry Cline from NewCareGiver.org

Countless businesses have been launched on a shoestring budget. The key is to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to networking, building an online presence, and maintaining your creativity. Even as an introvert, you can do just that by implementing the appropriate strategies. Paper Crane Of Hope delves into some entrepreneurial best practices that you simply can’t miss:

Keep Meeting People

Introverts often find it difficult to meet new people. But you never know when you will meet someone who transforms your business (and life). Keep these fundamental networking tips in mind as you set out on your journey:

●      Attend networking events to meet other entrepreneurs and professionals. Exchange business cards and contact information with those who are aligned with your goals and interests.

●      Join online communities and social media groups specific to your industry for the opportunity to connect with other professionals and remain current on developments in your field.

●      Offer to collaborate with other businesses or professionals on projects that mesh with your vision and build a relationship of trust and mutual respect.

●      Find ways to support other entrepreneurs. You can build strong, mutually beneficial relationships by offering mentorship advice or promoting others’ products or services to your own network.

Build Your Brand

A business is not a business without a brand. Here’s how you can create yours:

●      Develop a strong brand identity that accurately reflects your company’s values, mission, and target audience. Be sure to use consistent logos, color schemes, and messaging.

●      Create and curate valuable content that resonates with your audience and provides value. Blog posts, social media updates, and informative and informational videos are excellent projects to start with!

●      Use email and social media marketing to reach your target audience and build a loyal following of customers and supporters.

●      Work with SEO professionals to optimize your website and increase traffic, leads, and sales. Consider an agency such as PWD!

Stay Energized

Many entrepreneurs find that sustaining their energy and creativity is the most challenging aspect of running a business. These tips will help you stay at the top of your game:

●      Prioritize self-care activities like exercise, meditation, and spending time in nature to keep your mind and body refreshed.

●      Set boundaries to create space for activities that spark your creativity, whether it’s reading, painting, or brainstorming new ideas.

●      Engage with other entrepreneurs or creative professionals to share ideas and gain inspiration from their experiences.

●      Take breaks throughout the day to stretch, move around, or take a quick power nap to recharge.

It’s not easy to start a business when you have tons of money, much less a limited budget! But the best practices above can help you build a strong foundation and sustain success over the long run. Whether it’s attending networking events, developing a content strategy, or taking time to recharge your creative energy, use the tips and resources here to flourish as an introvert in the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship!
