    Why ENFPs Can't Survive a Corporate Job (our brains are different)

    I'm taking a stand: ENFPs should never work a corporate job. After years of hedging, I'm finally saying it once and for all — and giving you my two main reasons so you can send this to whoever in your life keeps telling you to keep the "secure" 9-5. Reason one: our brains work differently. ENFPs light up the whole brain doing almost anything, which makes us creative, interdisciplinary, and full of ideas — but also means we burn through our energy far faster than the types built to grind out eight hours in a cubicle. Reason two: the corporate routine makes your life disappear. When every day is the same, time accelerates, and the years vanish. I get into how travel slows time back down, why the caffeine-and-cortisol survival method ends in burnout, and what to do instead — especially now that AI is dismantling the "security" corporate work supposedly offered in the first place. If you're an ENFP stuck in an office wondering why you're exhausted and restless, this one's for you.   ►My BOOK: The ENFP Calling now on Audible & (Free!) on Spotify Premium◄ It's available everywhere in print, digital, and audiobook and includes a bonus 10 day motivational audio program specifically for ENFPs.  On Amazon / Audible: https://amzn.to/3Hn75Wv - Everywhere else: https://www.DreamsAroundTheWorld.com/The-ENFP-Calling-Book/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1bBV2UeBPUXKSQTnDZQ88t?si=c3dceb40a130453f One reviewer said: "I have read many, many self-help and personal development books over the years…I have never encountered anything that felt so personally actionable, validating and relatable as this book."  ►Free Training For ENFPs◄ https://www.dreamsaroundtheworld.com/enfptraining/  ►Private Coaching◄ I work with a handful of private coaching clients.

    The Lindsay Clancy Trial and My Thoughts on Empathy, Understanding, and The Healthiest Way To Live as an ENFP, INFP, or INFJ

    This was inspired by conversations with a few people about the Lindsay Clancy trial and everything around it. It's got some tangents and might be the perfect episode to enjoy while finally cleaning up your home office or preparing dinner. Note: While my intent with the episode is positive and mindset related, but some of the topics are a bit heavy.

    Why ENFPs Disappear *ah-hem* (and How to Come Back)

    ENFPs can do more in a week than most people manage in months — so why do we vanish for months at a time, ghosting our own projects, our audiences, and the people we care about? After 7-8 months away, I'm back to talk honestly about the two real reasons ENFPs disappear. The first is losing your "why" — and I break down the three things a strong "why" actually needs: a reward that's genuinely yours, a process you enjoy, and the sense that your work leaves the world a little better. The second is quieter and more dangerous: the way negative associations pile up until avoidance becomes your default setting. I use the "rotten steak" problem to explain how one bad experience can poison something you used to love, and how that same mechanism turns small undone tasks into things you can't make yourself face. If you're an ENFP who keeps disappearing — or you love one who does — this episode is about understanding why it happens and how to get back on the horse. Topics: finding your why, ENFP motivation and procrastination, negative associations and avoidance, why ENFPs recharge by getting out rather than hiding, and staying enthusiastic in a cynical, AI-saturated world.

    Four Cognitive Biases & One Mistake That Keep You Stuck

    In this episode, I dig into the hidden cognitive biases that quietly shape our decisions: things like effort justification, the sunk cost fallacy, and framing. Once you see them, you start realizing how often they keep you from making the changes you know you need. ►Private Coaching◄ I work with a handful of private coaching clients.

    3 Times Our Instincts Lead Us To Sadness

    Sometimes what feels good in the moment actually weakens us and makes life harder in the long run. Many of these patterns are wired deep into us through evolution, which makes them tricky to spot. But the more we learn to recognize these instincts, the more agency we gain, and the closer we move toward a happier, more intentional life  ►Join The ENFP Unleashed and become part of our ENFP community: https://www.dreamsaroundtheworld.com/enfpunleashed/ ►My BOOK: The ENFP Calling now on Audible & (Free!) on Spotify Premium◄ It's available everywhere in print, digital, and audiobook and includes a bonus 10 day motivational audio program specifically for ENFPs.
