What My INTJ Brain and Human Design Taught Me About Running a Business
Show Notes:
In this episode of Here's What I Learned, I’m flying solo to talk about one of my favorite nerdy rabbit holes: personality typologies—and how they’ve helped me design a business that actually works with how I’m wired.
I share what it’s like to be an INTJ, Enneagram 5w6, and Manifesting Generator (4/6 profile, sacral authority), and how these frameworks gave me language for my over-analysis, craving for competency, and need for fast decision-making.
But this episode isn’t just about me—it’s an invitation for you to explore how understanding your own personality can shape how you onboard clients, structure your services, and build a business that supports your energy instead of draining it.

- Understanding my Myers-Briggs personality (01:24)
- Exploring the Enneagram (02:07)
- Learning my CliftonStrengths (04:03)
