What if I told you that if you knew what your Myers-Briggs personality type was, it could help you avoid burnout… would you be curious to learn more? As you may know, there are 16 different personality types and in fact, there are secrets to how each individually face, process, and handle stressful situations. 

My special guest today is author and psychotherapist Jessica Butts and she’s simplifying how to use the Myers-Briggs to avoid burnout. She’s helped clients around the world to create a brand new definition of success, utilizing a tool kit built for your personality type. Because when you know more about who you are (deep down inside), you become empowered to make lasting, positive changes that help you stay in flow more often.

Here’s how. 

My special guest today is Jessica Butts and she is simplifying how to use the Myers-Briggs to avoid burnout.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

  • Why we hear about burnout being such a prevalent thing these days and her theory on the root cause
  • We talked about the 16 Myers-Briggs personality types and why this tool has helped her and her clients to avoid burnout
  • When we suppress our Intuition and look outside of ourselves to social media influencers, what actually is happening here… she teaches us how to look within 
  • How to tune out the external noise and distractions, so that you can create your own unique path with your career
  • …and ultimately, we talked about “healing the hustle,” what that means, and how to redefine success on your terms, based on your personality type.

All this month, we are focused on the theme of “Self-Discipline,” helping you stay on track in your work and in your life… and get back to thriving. You have the power to create the life you really want to live, if only you simply remembered what’s possible… and make Bold Asks for what you need, want, and desire. Today is a fresh start and a new beginning.

Your 1000 daily choices will help you get there. 

We will explore what that means on every level this month, both personally and professionally.
