I’m sending this out on Tuesday in hopes that you’ve successfully waded through the weeds of your Monday morning inbox. You know, the one full of messages from every company on earth about how they’re responding to the coronavirus pandemic. I’m all-in for public health and an informed populace (Wash your hands. Be a good person. We're in this together.), but how did I end up on the mailing list for a company that sells men’s big & tall tuxedos? […]
Read MoreOne of the drawbacks of living in this interconnected world full of easy-access information is that it comes with easy (and nonstop) access to other people’s opinions. Some great, a lot total shite. The challenge exists in parsing the gems from the steaming pile. […]
Read MoreThe other day I got excited. Like toe-tippy-tappy, butt-waggly excited.
I had just downloaded a new app on my phone and it’s incredible. No, it wasn’t TikTok. Refusing to download TikTok is my current top productivity hack because it is a bottomless well… and I say like the app I actually did download isn’t 7,000x worse. […]

Read MoreIt’s Valentine’s Day! My favorite day of the year! Better than Christmas, better than my birthday, better than tax return day! Well, better than tax return day before I became self-employed anyway.
Eight years ago, I started imbuing this day with more meaning than chocolate-covered strawberries and long-stemmed roses can communicate. I started making this day about loving myself—by doing the most important thing someone must do to love someone. Trust. […]
Read MoreJumbo shrimp. Freezer burn. Civil war. Bold introvert. Some may be shocked to learn that one of these is not an oxymoron. If you’re on this site, you probably already know which one.
Much like with jumbo shrimp, I tend to want to vomit when I hear people talk of introverts as shy, meek, and sometimes even slow or unintelligent (Elon Musk called, he’d like to have a word). With jumbo shrimp, it’s because I’m allergic to shellfish. With pronouncements of meek introverts, it’s because I’m allergic to ignorance. […]
Read MoreWhen you’re on a mission to turn your big ideas into reality but you’re also an introvert who prefers to listen rather than speak, it can be difficult to navigate how to get your message out. It’s the eternal struggle of bold introverts—quiet ones who have something to say […]
Read MoreNew years are always loaded with potential. Yet we’ve all read about how rarely people stick to their New Year’s resolutions. I’ve all but abandoned the process, however, that doesn’t mean I don’t leverage the power of new beginnings […]
Read MoreWithout further ado, we’re diving into the remaining two cognitive functions—the Intuition functions!
As a refresher, there are four total Perceiving functions: Introverted Sensing (Si), Extroverted Sensing (Se), Introverted Intuition (Ni), and Extroverted Intuition (Ne) […}
Read MoreIn this post we will shift gears away from the Judging functions (Thinking and Feeling) to focus on the Perceiving functions.
While the Judging functions are fairly straightforward—we all understand what is meant by Thinking and Feeling to some extent—the Perceiving functions are more nuanced and can be trickier to explain […]
