I help geeks and gamers to play life better. As an INFP, I've spent a lot of time trying to understand myself, forcing myself outside of my comfort zone, finding my purpose in life, gaining self-confidence, and learning how to have better relationships. Personality type is one of the main models I use to help clients regain control over their lives, but I also tend to use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hypnosis as well. Stay awhile and listen!

    3 steps to achieving big goals (that RPGs taught me)

    3 steps to achieving big goals (that RPGs taught me)

    Achieving big goals isn't about magic; it's about method. 

    This video uncovers the power of simplification in reaching monumental success. By breaking down massive goals into simple, actionable quests, you can transform your approach to success and build unstoppable momentum. It's crucial to start with defining clear steps that lead toward your main goal, such as outlining a single chapter if your goal is to write a book, rather than attempting to draft the entire book in one go. 

    The video emphasizes the importance of sequencing tasks to build skills and confidence gradually, akin to leveling up in a game. 

    Additionally, it highlights the significance of recognizing every small victory, boosting morale and reinforcing the effectiveness of breaking down tasks. Drawing on wisdom from Tony Robbins, it reminds us that the true value lies in the growth journey, encouraging viewers to break down their goals, sequence them wisely, and celebrate progress along the way.

    INTP Social Struggles: Why INTPs Hate Small Talk

    INTP Social Struggles: Why INTPs Hate Small Talk

    In this video, we explore the INTP personality type and why they tend to dislike small talk. While many people may not enjoy small talk, INTPs, in particular, struggle with it due to their dominant function of introverted thinking. This analytical and inquisitive part of their personality makes them question the purpose and relevance of small talk, which can feel like a waste of time and energy.

    Additionally, INTPs have extroverted feeling as their inferior function, which can make social interactions and social courtesies challenging for them. This function, which we call the unifying envoy, is responsible for creating harmony and social bonds, which can be at odds with the INTP's analytical and introspective nature.

    If you're an INTP or know someone who is, this video can shed some light on why small talk can be difficult for them and how to navigate social interactions more effectively. So join us as we delve deeper into the INTP personality type and why they hate small talk.

    Why do INFPs Feel Useless? | 2 Main Reasons

    Why do INFPs Feel Useless? | 2 Main Reasons

    As an INFP, why do I feel so useless in this world?

    If you're someone with the INFP personality type, you may have felt like a bit of an outcast from the moment you were born. The world is a loud place, full of extroverts and people who are willing to be called "popular." It's also a place that values things like logic, efficiency, and success.

    If you're an INFP, all of these things can make you feel like there's something wrong with you—and maybe there is! Maybe you're a bit weird. I certainly am. But it doesn't mean there's nothing good about being different from everyone else. Weird and different isn't the same as bad.


    INFPs are dreamers and artists—we're the people who make art happen, who create bold new worlds that the world wouldn't otherwise know about. We're often not appreciated for our contributions to society or our approach to LIFE because we don't always fit into a mold or meet expectations—but we've got a lot to offer the world if it'd just give us a chance!

    As an INFP, I feel like my life is constantly a race to keep putting out new fires.

    I'm always looking for the next thing to do, and I feel like there's never enough time in the day to get it all done. When I was younger, I used to think that this was just because of school—that once I finished my homework and projects, then I could do what I wanted. But as an adult? It's still the same thing. Every day, there are things that need to be done: chores around the house, bills to pay, friends to see if I had more time, and family members to care for. Then there are projects, hobbies, so many games to play that I'll never get to... they're always sizzling and waiting for me to give a little attention so they don't get out of hand and consume me!

    It seems like there are just too many things that have to get done before I can even start thinking about what I want out of life. And no matter how much time goes by between one thing ending and another beginning, it just feels like there will never be enough time in any given day.

    Do you feel like that too? I used to feel it a lot stronger, but it's always there. And what I've found is that we INFPs feel useless for two main reasons (explained i
