Power, Shadow, and the 16 Personality Types
Jan 15, 2026
Power, Shadow, and the 16 Personality Types
Jan 15, 2026

When people feel powerless inside, they seek power outside—through control, dominance, status, or influence. This is why the hunger for power so often signals an unintegrated wound. What looks like confidence is frequently compensation.

True power comes from inner authority, not force. It’s the quiet strength of someone who doesn’t need to dominate, persuade, or prove anything. When the shadow is denied, power becomes abusive. When it’s integrated, power becomes grounded authority.

Every personality type has a natural relationship with power—and a predictable way it distorts when ego, trauma, or unconsciousness takes over. Some types withdraw and moralize. Others control, manipulate, or perform. But the pattern is the same: power leaks when parts of the self are exiled.

The work is not to become powerful.
The work is to become whole.

When fragmented parts are welcomed home with structure, restraint, and compassion, power returns—not as domination, but as coherence. And coherence reorganizes the world without force.

Why You Feel So Powerless
Jan 1, 2026
Why You Feel So Powerless
Jan 1, 2026

Power isn’t something you acquire — it’s something you stop leaking.

Most people don’t lose their power in dramatic ways. They bleed it out slowly through oversharing, over-explaining, guilt, hypervigilance, and muddy relationships that were never meant to hold that much access.

Containment isn’t repression. It’s the ability to feel without reacting, to move from self-possession instead of impulse, and to prioritize your own nervous system over other people’s comfort. When you stop bleeding energy into places that can’t hold it, power returns naturally.

This year isn’t about healing harder.
It’s about riding forward — with fewer words, clearer boundaries, and energy that stays where it belongs.

Tools to Help You Remember Who You Are

Tools to Help You Remember Who You Are
Dec 29, 2025

You’re not one thing—you’re many. Body, mind, spirit. Shadow and soul. In this post, I unpack a range of tools to help you remember who you are—not who the world told you to be. From Carl Jung’s psyche model to archetypes, astrology, Human Design, and more, this is a field guide for seekers reclaiming their inner truth. Use what resonates. Leave what doesn’t. This isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about coming home to yourself.

The Soup Test: What Personality Types Reveal Under Vulnerability

The Soup Test: What Personality Types Reveal Under Vulnerability
Dec 28, 2025

This isn’t about personality types.
It’s about what people do when you’re vulnerable.

When you’re sick, depleted, overwhelmed, or not performing—how someone responds tells you more than charm, compatibility, or theory ever will.

Some people bring care.
Some bring control.
Some bring analysis.
Some bring excuses.
Some disappear.

Carl Jung gave us language for patterns, but behavior under stress reveals the truth faster than any framework.

Soup is optional.
Attunement is not.

How Childhood Shapes the Self

How Childhood Shapes the Self
Dec 23, 2025

Our personalities don’t emerge in a vacuum—they’re shaped by the developmental stages we navigate and the roles we unconsciously absorb in childhood. Whether you were the overachieving oldest, the overlooked middle, or the charming youngest, chances are your sense of self was built in reaction to your environment. This post explores how childhood development and birth order shape the false personas we adopt—and how reflection can help us return to the self we were always meant to be.

How Empaths Find Their Strengths
Dec 17, 2025

Most of us have spent years trying to be who the world told us we should be—masking our true instincts, strengths, and ways of thinking. The Myers-Briggs system doesn’t define you; it gives you language for what’s already true. In this post, we’ll unpack how MBTI can help you recognize your innate gifts, normalize your wiring, and reclaim your sense of direction—especially if you’ve felt unseen or misunderstood. It’s not about putting yourself in a box; it’s about understanding the shape of your mind so you can finally stop contorting it to fit someone else’s mold.

This post is a reclamation. A remembering.
Of what it means to be an empath in a world built for the opposite.
If you’ve ever felt invisible, doubted, or too much…
Read this. Let it remind you: you’re not broken. You’re wired for magic.

How To Remember Who You Are
Dec 5, 2025

Many of us are living as the version of ourselves that once kept us safe—not the version that’s true. In this post, I explore how false personas are formed, especially in families with emotionally immature parents, and how to begin the journey back to your core self. This isn’t about reinventing who you are—it’s about remembering who you were before you were told who to be.

In this post, I share grounded, soul-aligned strategies for creating without pressure, monetizing without losing your spark, and honoring the real emotional cycles that come with making meaningful work.

The Secret to Creativity
Nov 25, 2025

Creative energy doesn’t thrive under pressure—it thrives in presence. In this post, I explore how to work with creativity as a living, sacred force rather than something to conquer or control. From poesis to project protection, from showing up imperfectly to honoring your inner seasons, this is a guide for artists, intuitives, and sensitive souls ready to create from a place of trust, not tension.

The Real Reason You're Creatively Blocked
Nov 20, 2025

Creative blocks aren’t laziness or lack of discipline—they’re emotional. When we numb our feelings, we cut off the source of our art. In this post, I explore the real roots of creative resistance: fear of being seen, perfectionism, shame, and the quiet grief of not feeling safe to express. You’ll learn how to shift from guilt to gentleness, from pressure to presence, and how to return to your creativity with compassion, curiosity, and truth.

The Art of Finding Flow
Nov 15, 2025

What if your most powerful work doesn’t come from pushing harder—but from surrendering deeper? Flow is where effort meets ease, where time dissolves and your intuition takes the lead. In this post, I unpack the rituals, rhythms, and mindset shifts that help creatives, empaths, and intuitives enter the zone—without burning out. Forget productivity hacks. This is about remembering how to feel your way back to your genius.

The Secret To Being More Creative
Nov 10, 2025

Most adults don’t realize that the absence of play in their lives is a trauma response. We’ve been taught that creativity is supposed to be productive, polished, and perfect—but the truth is, creative energy lives in the realm of play, not performance. In this post, I unpack why your nervous system might be blocking your flow, how anxiety hijacks the creative process, and why reclaiming your right to have fun might just be the key to unlocking your voice. Spoiler: your inner child already knows the way.

Boundaries don’t fix emotional immaturity. Communication doesn’t work on people committed to misunderstanding you. This post is your field guide for dealing with emotionally stunted people—without losing your energy, dignity, or peace. These are the rules of the empath rebellion: protect your power, detach with compassion, and stop bleeding for people who refuse to heal.

Why Forgiveness Doesn’t Work for INFJs and Empaths
Oct 27, 2025

Forgiveness isn’t about letting them off the hook—it’s about setting yourself free. You don’t need their apology to heal, and waiting for it only drains your energy. This post redefines forgiveness as a radical act of self-liberation: not something you owe them, but something you give to yourself. The healing begins when you stop carrying what they refuse to.

Understanding Narcissists
Oct 18, 2025

Narcissists don’t love you—they love what you give them. They mirror your dreams, bait you with potential, and then punish you for believing in them. This post explores the hidden polarity between narcissists and empaths, why manipulation is often misread as magnetism, and how reclaiming your shadow is the path to freedom. The lesson isn’t to love harder. The lesson is to stop calling pain love.

Oct 9, 2025

We don’t talk enough about the people who drain our energy without meaning to. Energy vampires aren’t always narcissists or villains—they’re often just emotionally immature adults trapped in childlike mindsets. In a world where dysfunction is the norm, learning to recognize parasitic dynamics is essential. This post explores the psychology of unconscious energy drain, how it hides in relationships (especially family), and what it really means to reclaim your power.

Whether you’ve experienced breadcrumbing, gaslighting, or spiritual blackmail, this guide will help you name the game so you can stop playing it. Awareness isn’t just protection—it’s power.

Rebalancing Masculine and Feminine Energy
Sep 25, 2025

Masculine and feminine energy live in all of us—but most people are stuck in wounded expressions of both. Women have been conditioned to overgive and stay silent, while men have been taught to suppress emotion and perform strength through control. True healing begins when we reclaim rest, intuition, vulnerability, and emotional sovereignty. This post explores how to recognize and restore these energies—so we can stop performing and start living in balance.

How INFJs and Empaths Use Intuition
Sep 20, 2025

Intuition is calm, anxiety is frantic—and learning the difference can change your life. True intuition doesn’t shout, rush, or criticize. It arrives like a whisper, steady and clear. In a world that rewards logic and dismisses the unseen, reclaiming your intuitive voice is an act of self-trust and power. This post explores how to recognize intuition, how to quiet the mind enough to hear it, and how to avoid the traps of fear, projection, and overthinking.

True happiness isn’t adrenaline or excitement—it’s calm, alignment, and emotional safety. For INFJs and empaths, joy comes from honoring intuition, living in integrity, and meeting deeper spiritual needs like authenticity, connection, and purpose. When we stop chasing happiness and start choosing presence, we find that joy was never out of reach—it was waiting for us in the stillness.

Anxiety and Depression In Empaths & INFJs

Anxiety and Depression In Empaths & INFJs
Sep 9, 2025

Anxiety and depression are more than emotional struggles—they're signals from the nervous system, asking for attention and care. Anxiety often stems from avoidance, overthinking, or a lack of trust in one’s intuition. Depression, by contrast, is rooted in freeze response and unprocessed grief. While anxiety needs grounding and clarity, depression calls for gentle activation through small, attainable actions. Understanding the difference—and learning to respond to each with intention—can transform how we relate to our inner world.

Emotions Are Magic and Words Are Spells

Most of us were never taught how to feel. We were taught how to perform, analyze, and stay in control—but not how to sit with discomfort, listen to the body, or trust our emotional signals. In this post, we explore what it really means to feel without collapsing, numbing, or spiraling. Because emotions aren’t flaws. They’re energy—and energy is meant to move.

What Is Your Mission Here On Earth?

What Is Your Mission Here On Earth?
Aug 29, 2025

The soul doesn’t care if you succeed in human terms — it cares if you grow.
That’s why the same lessons loop until we respond differently.
That’s why some relationships feel like déjà vu, and some years feel like war.

Your soul signed up for a path.
Not because it was easy — but because it was coded with the precise alchemy you needed to evolve.

And when you finally stop resisting the lesson…

That’s when life softens.
That’s when power returns.
That’s when you become the kind of person who can teach what you’ve lived.

Are You The Hero, Heroine, or Anti-Hero?

Are You The Hero, Heroine, or Anti-Hero?
Aug 24, 2025

We’re all walking mythic paths — some loud and heroic, others quiet and inward. In this post, I break down three powerful journeys: the classic Hero’s Journey, the emotionally rich Heroine’s Journey, and a lesser-known but essential path I call the Anti-Hero Journey — a shadow integration quest especially relevant for empaths. Each path offers a mirror. Where are you right now? Resisting the call? In the inmost cave? Or returning with wisdom to share? Understanding the arc you’re in can bring clarity, courage, and direction to your soul’s evolution.

How To Escape (Or Survive) The American Dream

How To Escape (Or Survive) The American Dream
Aug 21, 2025

On July 4th, I packed my car, my cat, and what was left of my courage, and crossed into Canada. I left behind a country unraveling under narcissism, religious extremism, and systemic rot. I’ve fought this battle before in my personal life, and I recognize the pattern: the frog doesn’t know it’s boiling until it’s too late.

Survival isn’t just endurance. It’s finding meaning in suffering, savoring small joys, and knowing when to fight—and when to walk away. Some will resist through nonviolent action and collective courage. Others, like me, will leave—seeking safer ground and a chance to live with dignity.

Either path takes strength. Either path takes strategy. The only way to win is to stop playing by their rules.

How Empaths and INFJs Find Their Purpose
Aug 18, 2025

Your essence isn’t your job title or personality label—it’s the deeper role your soul came here to play. It’s not something you chase; it’s something you remember. This post explores how to uncover that essence through your natural gifts, your wounds, and your values. Whether you’re a wounded healer, an intuitive teacher, a silent artist, or something beautifully in between—your challenges were not a detour from your purpose, but the fire that forged it.

Healing yourself is not selfish. It’s how the world begins to change.

Why Work Sucks for INFJs and Empaths
Aug 12, 2025

If work leaves you drained, disoriented, or questioning your worth—you’re not lazy. You’re a soul misfitted to a system that was never built for sensitivity, creativity, or intuition. This post is a reclamation: of your energy, your gifts, and the quiet knowing that you were meant for more than surviving meetings and fluorescent lights. You were meant to matter. Here’s why work feels wrong—and what to do about it.

Why Empaths and INFJs Feel So Lost
Aug 6, 2025

“Feeling lost doesn’t mean you’re off path. It means you’re in it.”

For INFJs, empaths, and seekers of depth, the ache of not-knowing can feel unbearable — like something sacred is just out of reach. But what if the fog is part of the path? What if your longing is the map?

In this piece, I unpack why so many intuitive souls feel unfulfilled even after doing “all the right things,” and how to reclaim direction by following energy over logic, aliveness over clarity.

This isn’t about finding your purpose.
It’s about becoming it.
