Hello, this is Jessica, your host coming to you during this “NEW NORMAL” that we’re in right now. And I am with you in the ROLLERCOASTER of emotions, the fear of the economy, the fear of people that I love getting sick. And during this time, I am, quite honestly, more committed than ever to bringing you content that is helpful and full transparency.

I’m kind of ON FIRE right now. I am stuck in my house, and it seems to be a time of great inspiration for me, and so I’m just going gangbusters with content right now, and it feels good to be able to be of service and help in a way that I know that I can right now.

I’m dedicated to HELPING PEOPLE understand themselves in this time of crisis through understanding personality type and human behavior, which I’m an expert in, and how that then also translates to our relationships in regular times, and now this time of crisis.

As you may know, I am the creator of FRONT SEAT LIFE, a new approach to Myers-Briggs, and about our reptilian brain. My whole “BACKSEAT” methodology is about us understanding exactly what we’re going through right now, which are times of stress.

I feel very much called to be of service right now. I’m going BALLS-TO-THE-WALL on my personal Facebook page right now to give a ton of content. I am talking about each of the dichotomies and how they show up in your Backseat. Then I’m going to be talking about how we, as human beings, either as single people or just as individuals, how WE CAN MANAGE this time of crisis by understanding our personality type.

And of course, that BACKSEAT REPTILIAN BRAIN RESPONSE that is happening to every single one of us.

I’m so in this creative mode, and it’s great energy. It’s super relevant content, 1000% pertinent to what we’re doing right now, and I’m asking for a little grace about also conserving my energy because I’m in this with all of you. I’m on the roller coaster. PLEASE JOIN me every morning on Facebook for more.

I hope you enjoy the episode and know that there are more of them coming. I’m going to try to shove them in and do some bonus episodes and give you this content as quickly as possible because I know that WE’RE ALL IN IT.

So, take care, TAKE CARE EVERYBODY. Take care of yourself, number one, and then take care of those that are very, very important to you. And start by understanding how you’re reacting to this time of stress, and then lovingly accepting and understanding how the people around you are.

All right, enjoy.

Front Seat Life Podcast
https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/front-seat-life-podcast/

All right, Front Seat Lifers, it is Jessica, your host. And before we get into today’s episode, I’m going to be super, SUPER VULNERABLE with you as I always am. Still, I’m going to start it right off because I have two caveats after recording this episode and just sitting with it for a bit.

Number one, I have not thrown everything out. I say that, but my content manager, Stephanie, kind of scolded me, and she was like, “Girl, girl, stop saying that.” And it’s true. WE ARE PIVOTING. Hard. I have not thrown everything out. And I’ll be sincere; I’m having a lot of fun with content right now because I get to do it spontaneous and in the moment.

The best way right now to keep up with what’s happening is to JOIN the Front Seat Squad. I’m LIVE there almost daily right now with updates and strategies on how to navigate our current and always changing rough waters.

Number two, I am NOT A PARENT, and I am not a parenting expert. But I get it, and people are straight up in dire straits right now. I get it. I do. My friends have kids, that reality surrounds me and I never want to feel like I’m lecturing or preaching, and had a feeling that I needed to say that ahead of time because I believe everything that I say in this episode is 100% true.

There is part of me that this is the only area in my life that sometimes I feel like a fraud if I’m honest because I don’t have kids. I’m not living in that reality. So, this is triggering some of my insecurities, and one of my core values is to just KEEP IT REAL with you guys, to be super transparent, to be super authentic.

I am far from perfect. I got my own shit going on, and part of that is precisely what I’m saying. So, while I still 100% sit behind what you’re about to hear, I don’t want it to come off as lecturing, especially from someone who’s in a different scenario.

Also, I think this episode is quite honestly one of MY FAVORITE EPISODES around personality type. Around working from home and schooling from home. All of this is still legit, and although I don’t know exactly some of the pain that you guys are going through, I’m sending you love. I hope you enjoy the episode.

I’m in this with you, and I will see you next week.

Front Seat Life Podcast
https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/front-seat-life-podcast/

I love doing this podcast. I love educating. I LOVE SHARING my information that I know being a Myers-Briggs expert and a former psychotherapist and couple’s counselor. And one of my core values on this show is to be vulnerable with you and to share my life experiences.

I don’t know who taught me this, but they call it TAO. Transparency, authenticity, and openness, which leads to today’s podcast. I am SICK as a dog. I am sick, sick, sick, sicker than I’ve been in a very long time. And. The show MUST go on.

So, a couple of weeks ago, maybe it was just last week, I’m in such a fog. Anyway, I was doing all the things. We have a huge team right now. I have a lot of clients right now. We are getting ready to launch… And I told Stephanie and our new Director of Operations, Kristen, that I was not going to take my normal day off on Friday, and I was going to start working over the weekends until the launch, and I’m going to start doing Facebook Lives and all these things.

And Stephanie said, “Hey girl, you might want to SLOW YOUR ROLL. Like, this is a marathon right now. This is not a sprint. You need to CONSERVE your ENERGY.” And at the time I was super healthy, completely in my Front Seat. I felt unstoppable. I felt like my normal, ambitious self.

I know I’m a VERY STRONG J, and a lot of women in my life are too. J’s are doers. They are pushers. They are bossy, they’re controlling, they’re AMBITIOUS, they know what they want, and they go after it. That is when they’re in their Front Seat. P’s, on the other hand, go with the flow, don’t worry about it.

I no doubt 1000% believe I got sick because I’m pushing TOO HARD. There’s too much going on. There’s a lot of pressure. There are a lot of expectations that I allow. I’m not stupid enough or naive enough to think that I am not 100% responsible for this, as are you.

I’ve been SICK THREE TIMES this year, and it’s only March 10th, and it’s when I, as a J, can’t stop and rest.

I’m BREAKING my Cardinal Rule. My Cardinal rule is compartmentalization and giving a hundred percent of my energy to the one thing that I’m doing. However, it becomes my fault when I’m trying to do 15 different things in a day. And it can absolutely take its toll. It can start to ruin your life.

Could you give 80%? And not 110% or 125%? I think I’m that person, I just go all in so fucking hard that then there’s nothing in reserves and that’s exactly what’s happening to my body right now.

I know for a fact that this is just the universe like slapping me upside the face. I didn’t listen the first two times it happened. I soldiered through and this one has TAKEN ME DOWN. And ironically, I’m still doing this. I think it’s a great life lesson. I think others can learn from it, which is one of my core values.

I do this not to just pontificate and throw stuff at you, but to connect and let you know how I and many listening to this podcast right now can resonate with this.

I’m MAKING A PLEDGE. The goal is 80% of the time to be hustling, to be ambitious, to be going after it, and then by choice 20% of the time resting. And I don’t think that includes Saturdays and Sundays because we’re also giving to other people.

And I know for a lot of you that work nine to five, that sounds impossible. So how do you take at least a night a week or three or four days a month off for SELF-CARE? Set boundaries, and they’re non-negotiable.

And so that’s the pledge says what I’m asking us to do. #jandppledge. And tag me @frontseatlife and I cannot wait to start this conversation on Instagram and start sharing how we as strong, ambitious J women are choosing to embrace some P energy, some “BEING” energy. I want to see your pledge. I want to see what you’re going to be participating in, how you can relax a little bit, and how you can implement this into your life.

So, thank you for...

As promised, we are going down a journey of DEBUNKING some myths, but I’m going to do it, of course, in Jessica-style. Today’s topic is debunking the myths surrounding INTROVERSION and EXTROVERSION.

There are a lot of them, but I picked kind of my favorites. I want to start with some general myths, and then we’ll get into specific introverted and extroverted myths. The prevailing, overarching myth about introversion and extroversion is that WE ARE ONE OR THE OTHER. However, this is one of the only dichotomies that is balanced.

Introversion and extroversion live, BOTH of them, in our Front Seat, which makes up 80% of who we are. Often, people think, “Oh my God, I’m just introverted, and there’s no extroverted part of me.” And that is not true. Or extroverts think, “Well, you know what’s weird? I wonder why I want to spend time by myself?”

It’s NOT WEIRD. It’s just your Front Seat. There is NO such thing, technically, as an AMBIVERT (#ambivertisamyth). We’re all kind of ambiverts because we all have a Front Seat, and everybody’s Front Seat is half introverted and half extroverted. We’re both things. We just have a PREFERENCE for one over the other.

Now, there are several other myths and misconceptions surrounding the introversion versus extroversion. Listen as I get way into some of these like the ones I used in the title of this episode, which is INTROVERTS are SELFISH AF, and EXTROVERTS are IDIOTS.

As you listen, you’ll see many of these myths are stories we create in our heads about the other type. For example, introverts save their best selves for themselves, which to extroverts comes off very selfish.

Why aren’t you getting back to me? Why aren’t you responding to me right away? Introverts tend to have a depth of friends and the depth of interest, meaning they only have a few friends, even a couple sometimes, but they’re very, very close to them, and they just have a few interests. Extroverts typically have a whole bunch of friends and a whole bunch of interests because they give their best selves to other people, which to introverts, that can seem idiotic.

Again, this is just one myth I debunk in this episode, and I highly encourage you to listen in as I debunk several OTHER common MISCONCEPTIONS. And this is just the start of a series of these episodes, and I also am sharing a ton about type via my social media channels, so join me there for more insight and delight. I seriously could go on about this for years.

I so appreciate your listening, and I will see you guys next week when I’m back debunking the myths of sensing and intuition, which is going to be a fricking doozy. I’m going to give you a teaser. One of the biggest myths is that SENSORS DON’T HAVE INTUITION. I have heard that from the day that I started using type 20 some years ago, and I cannot wait to share that with you next week.

I love, love, love, love sharing this stuff with you!

Front Seat Life Podcast
https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/front-seat-life-podcast/

Recently, lots of people have been talking to me about some of the CONFUSION around INTUITIVE types. So, it’s led me to want to do some clarifying on this podcast episode today around NJ’s, which are intuitive judgers, and NP’s, intuitive perceivers.

I created the FRONT SEAT LIFE, which is a revolutionary new approach to the Myers-Briggs personality type indicator. And as part of this approach, I created my own archetypes based on the Front Seat Life method. And that is the second dichotomy and the last dichotomy paired together, which means there are four: intuitives (N) and sensors (S), judgers (J) and perceivers (P). With the pairings being:

- SJ: the police.
- SP: the adventurers/artists.
- NJ: the entrepreneurs.
- NP: (my favorites) the squirrels.

Today, in particular, I am going to be talking significantly about NP’s and NJ’s because some of my mastermind group reached out to me and said, “You know, I don’t resonate with the word intuitive because we are strong DRIVEN, HARDCORE, ambitious women.”

They think of themselves like that, as do I, and they’re having a problem because NP’s are a bit more woo woo. They are big picture, think-outside-the-box-CREATIVES like all intuitives are, but when you start pairing the letters, this is when shit gets interesting.

When you put them together in the archetypes like I am and talk about your Front Seat and your Back Seat, as I do in the Front Seat Life methodology, this is when stuff gets rich. The tip of the iceberg is the four dichotomies, and then it gets so much DEEPER.

So, that’s what we’re doing today. I am talking about pairing NP’s and NJ’s and what their similarities are and what their differences are and how we all relate to each other.

NJ’s are these driven, hardcore, AMBITIOUS, get it done, creative-vision-entrepreneurs-get-out-of-my-way kinds of people. They sometimes don’t resonate with the NP’s, which are a little WOO WOO, or a lot woo woo. They’re so full of ideas and they flit from thing to thing. They are very creative and absolutely huge free thinkers. They are very squirrelly. About 90% of my clients are P’s because they have all these amazing ideas, but they have a hard time focusing.

So, the common denominator with NJ’s and NP’s is this creative, visionary, think outside the box aspect. All the different ideas are really about being intuitive. It’s just how the last letter, the J, and the P factor in and play a role.

Here’s the deal. I don’t want J’s to think that they are not this person, the intuitives, because they are driven and ambitious. There is a SPECIALNESS, a uniqueness that 25% of the population has. And that is this intuitiveness.

I hope this episode and the examples I share (blinders on v. blinders off) can help you to see the similarities, yet the differences that one letter, one dichotomy, in our personality can make. We’re different, and we’re similar.

All right, I’m going to be doing BONUS EPISODES on the archetypes coming up next, and then I’m going to be doing all the myths for each of the archetypes. That is going to be fun. So, until next week, have a good one and thanks again for listening!

Front Seat Life Podcast

I am excited that you guys are here today. We are going to go on a JOURNEY over the next several weeks, and I am going to go over some basics with you. Those of you who are active listeners, (thank you, by the way), know that I recently went to my Mastermind group with Kate Northrup, and Amy Porterfield was also there.

One of the things that I took away from that experience is that I’ve gotten away from my Myers-Briggs base a little bit. I’m too close to it or something. Do you guys do what I mean? And I’m coming back to it!

I created FRONT SEAT LIFE, which I’m realizing is truly a REVOLUTIONARY new way to look at Myers-Briggs. For those of us that have trouble understanding this brilliant tool, this is a better way, an easier way for people to understand it. So, I’m going back to my roots a little bit here and today is an episode about flow and ease.

Here’s the deal. The FRONT SEAT is the way God designed you. For every single personality type, there are two parts that will facilitate FLOW and EASE. You have more energy and I think you sleep better. I think you have better sex. I think you lose weight. I think everything in your life feels Flow and Ease.

This is a little bit of an advanced topic today, so for those of you who don’t have any fricking idea what I’m talking about, I would highly recommend you go to my website, and take the personality assessment because otherwise, you’re not going to know what I’m talking about.

And our Front Seat is the two middle letters of your Myers-Briggs personality type paired up. So, I’m an ENFJ, for example, the N and the F are called functional pairs. Those two letters in the middle make up a huge part of our “car.” The extrovert and introvert also have a place in it, but as I’ve said before, the J and the P don’t.

These two middle letters are Flow and Ease. This is where I need, and you need to be spending 80% of your time.

The way that I like to visualize these two parts of our personality, the Front Seat, it’s like a beach ball. So, if you’ve got a beach ball and you’re just kicking it down the beach, and there’s ZERO EFFORT, zero effort. You’re just walking, and you’re kicking it along. That is the visualization I have for your Front Seat. It is EASY. It is FLOW. It is GOD-GIVEN. This is the way that you were born into this world. And when we are doing things that we are NATURALLY DESIGNED to do, it is inevitable that it’s going to be Flow and Ease.

If you have been trying to be “well-rounded,” and you’re fucking exhausted… STOP! I was one of those people trying to do all the God-forsaken things. It doesn’t work.

There is a lot to understanding the difference between the Front Seat and the Back Seat, but focusing on your Front Seat, the Flow and Ease will help so, so much. Listen in to this episode as I dive into this extremely important concept.

And keep tuning in for more, because I’m on a mission the next several weeks and it’s going to be awesome! Thanks again for listening, I love you all. Have a fantastic week and shoot me a DM on Instagram or leave a review, I always love to hear your feedback!

All right Front Seat Lifers. I am coming to you hoarse, a little bit exhausted and FULL OF LOVE and excitement. I am in Laguna Beach, and just this morning, I finished my MASTERMIND with Kate Northrup. She is my coach for 2020 and I want to share with you my big takeaways from the three days with my mastermind.

This Mastermind was with Kate and ten inspiring, INCREDIBLE women. I was very humbled to be in the presence of these women, and Kate brought in a guest speaker. The one, the only, Amy Porterfield. It was kind of an “over-the-top” moment. I mean, we were all shitting our pants a little bit.

Anyway, I came away from this experience with a bunch of GOLDEN NUGGETS and loved being with these awesomely powerful women. You gotta listen to this episode to hear some of the GEMS, even if my voice is a bit rough. But one thing I realized was that we have the same systems and similar goals. We’re building the list, and we’re doing the webinars, we’re launching, we’re doing courses, we have groups, we’re coaching, we have podcasts.

It’s the similar stuff, but we need to do it our OWN WAY. We need to do it our way, BASED on our personality TYPE. We all must understand our differences, own them, and then BE UNAPOLOGETIC about it.

So, there’s no right or wrong way. It’s just we must know OUR WAY.

When we can step into that and own it for the first time in our lives, it’s such an unbelievable GAME CHANGER because again, if Kate’s trying to be like Amy or Amy’s trying to be like Kate or I’m trying to be like them or any of it, it doesn’t come off authentic. We leave ourselves, and we muffle who we really are, and the world needs who we really are.

There’s more to this episode, listen in. And I am definitely coming away from this super stoked to do more with personality type and help you all be unapologetically who you are, I’m going on a rampage!

Stay tuned. There’s some BAD-ASS STUFF coming. In the next couple of weeks, I’m going to start throwing in some “TYPE TIPS” into each of the episodes so you can get a quick little nugget of juiciness around all the other juiciness.

Have a wonderful, wonderful week!

Front Seat Life Podcast
https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/front-seat-life-podcast/

I get asked this question EVERY TIME I talk about personality type. 100% of the time, this comes up because it’s very, very common.

The question is, “What do I do if I can’t figure out MY personality TYPE?”

So, that’s what today’s episode is about, if you’re HAVING TROUBLE figuring out your personality type, what do you do to figure it out?

And I have five main tips for you today. First, let me back up… It’s totally NORMAL. It’s hundred percent completely normal not to know fully what your type is, 75% of the population has trouble figuring out one of the letters of the four dichotomies.

They can’t decide if they’re an INFP or an ENFP or an ESTJ or an ESFJ. There are LOTS OF VARIATIONS. And again, it’s a very, very normal thing. So, today’s episode is to help you and give you the main things that you need to do.

Number one, ask yourself, WHEN did you take the assessment? I can’t regulate when people are taking the assessment, but if you are trying to get the most accurate read on you as a human being, don’t take it when you’re at a job that you hate, or when you are at work during a terrible day. I guarantee 100% it’s not going to come out accurately because you’re in that environment.

It’s not an accurate assessment of you as your best self. What you’re going to get is a reading of YOUR BACKSEAT. Let me say that again. You’re going to get a reading that’s more in alignment with your backseat, which is the exact opposite of who you normally are.

The number one tip is you must take the assessment when you’re MOST YOURSELF. That might be the first thing in the morning. It might be after a bath, or it might be after you play with your kids or while you’re on vacation.

And do a SELF-ASSESSMENT. You want to get the most accurate reading, and the self-assessment is the most accurate because you can take your time and you can choose when you’re going to take it. You can head to my site for more info on taking a self-assessment or do a quick search on Google or YouTube, but this will help a lot.

Next, if you are getting results showing consistency except for one letter, one dichotomy, READ THE DESCRIPTIONS for those types. You will likely have an “A-Ha! Moment” and you will know which one you are. Again, you can go to my site for more details.

All right. Those are my top three tips, shorthand-style. There are more, and I encourage you to please listen in to this episode to get the rest, especially if you are still having trouble.

Love you guys. Thank you so much for listening. Also, go into the Squad and introduce yourself. I want to know your type. I want to know if this helped you. Once a month, I’m doing some awesome, awesome, happy hour Q&A. We’re having some drinks. I’m answering all your questions. We’re connecting. It’s quite lovely. It’s 90 minutes of just awesomeness, so I can’t wait to see you — bye guys.

Front Seat Life Podcast
https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/front-seat-life-podcast/

Hello! It’s just me today, and I want to go through what I’m currently doing in my life to do some ENERGY MANAGEMENT and what other people are doing.

I’ve talked about this before, and I’m reading a great book on the subject, The Patriarchy Stress Disorder, but we as women are PREDISPOSED to be apologetic, to be codependent, to minimize ourselves, to oppress ourselves, and TO GIVE to others. It’s just part of who we are.

If you’ve been listening to the podcast long enough, you know that when we are giving too much, when we’re too accommodating, we can stop managing our energy and become the “baby in the backseat.” Which is about 20% of the time. And that’s a lot of the time.

So, what do we do? So, where in our lives, do we need to PROTECT our energy? And how do we do it?

Number one, we need to BE ACCEPTING of people for who they are. How much time and energy do you waste on trying to change somebody or being irritated that that person who is not like you? We want people to accept us for who we are, but then who are we to judge them for who they are?

All right, number two, FORGIVE people. Just forgive people. Do you know the amount of energy that it takes not to forgive someone? It is so not worth it. Judgment takes up space. Acceptance does not. Resentment takes up space. Forgiveness does not. And if someone apologizes to you, like take their apology.

Okay, number three. LET THAT SHIT GO. Let that shit go. Anytime you’re holding on to stuff, it’s a waste of energy. And so sometimes you may need to make a conscious decision, “What can I let go?”

Number four is DON’T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY, which is from The Four Agreements. Most of the time, it has nothing to do with you. Everybody’s dealing with their own shit and someone’s reaction to you likely has nothing to do with you.

Alright, those are the heavy lifters when it comes to energy management, but let’s get real. How many of you are on Facebook or Instagram way, way, way, way, way, way more than you need to be? Hands all over the country, all over the world for that matter, are going up right now because we are almost all guilty of this, and it is an energy management KILLER.

When we get on social media, and let’s be honest, what’s the first thing we do? We COMPARE ourselves to other people. “Oh my God, that person’s hair looks amazing. Or, wow, her butt is so on-point. Oh, her marriage is perfect. Oh my God, her business is killing it. Oh, she is traveling all over.”

“Oh, she must be a millionaire. Oh, she must not have any problems. Oh, look how clean her house is. Oh, LOOK AT ALL THE THINGS… I am a fucking loser…”

One of the biggest energy management tools is to TURN YOUR DAMN PHONE OFF. I need to turn it off because otherwise, I’m that person. I’m always clicking it, touching it, looking at it, all the things. So, I turn my phone off for multiple hours a day.

How many of you have NOTIFICATIONS for every godforsaken app on your phone? Hands again, all over the country and the world going up… Turn that shit off because you’re reactive and when that ping goes off, we break whatever concentration we are in to go to our phone.

And it takes like 20 minutes for us to get back to whatever task that we were doing, no matter the task. Try it for a month, a week, a day. Turn that off and BE PROACTIVE about when you’re going into your apps. PROTECT YOUR ENERGY.

And that then that leads us to set some BOUNDARIES. I’m not gonna lie, I have gotten away from this a little bit lately. I have a problem with boundaries. I over-give and this just teaches others by responding to them that this is acceptable, and it’s not.

Okay, next on the list… CODEPENDENCY. When are you jumping on the other side of the net, and where are you letting other people jump on your side of the net? It’s such a humongous topic, and I promise I...

Front Seat Lifers, I am excited to bring you another sassy, INSPIRING, courageous woman, Ms. Jenna Faye. In less than two years, she and her partner Spencer scaled their business, Soul Meets Strategy™ into the multi-6 figure realm – and they did it all while traveling the world while being in a relationship together.

She is one of my Soul Sisters, I swear, and we agree on so much, which comes through during our conversation. I mean, we both worked in Human Resources before we had our “epiphanies” and got out of the drudgery that was not us.

“The light bulb kind of went off… wow, I can do and be something different.”

This is a longish episode, but well worth it, and you gotta give it a listen. We talk about both of our rough rides along the entrepreneurial journey. There are bumps, and people BASH YOU and you go down. And when we are transforming, “It rocks other people’s world because it also shines a light on them that they are not changing, and MISERY LIKES COMPANY.”

Evolving, TRANSFORMING, changing, it makes other people very uncomfortable. But don’t let that stop you.

“When you first start, you don’t really have any evidence. You have to start somewhere with that action piece where you grow the muscle a little bit more, and then a little bit more.”

Jenna tells us about the importance of ROI. It’s two things, the ROI, like Return On Investment, but also the RIPPLE OF IMPACT. And so many people aren’t making that kind of ROI that they’re capable of, or some people are way too much into the strategy which causes a disconnect in their vision.

“The idea of Soul Meets Strategy was to bring those two things together, that embodiment, the connection, and the actual tangible strategy that it takes to MOVE THE NEEDLE FORWARD.”

We go deep into the actual steps of Jenna’s philosophy, so similar to mine, because once you can connect and feel clear on your path, things will fall into place. And DON’T OVERTHINK IT either. So many people are like wronging themselves and thinking, “Is this the thing?”

The “thing” is what EXCITES you now! And how can you deeply connect to that? The three steps that Jenna thinks are the most important: alignment, strategy, profitability. Everything can fall into those buckets and we dissect each during this episode.

Jenna reveals that one of her mottos is “SIMPLIFY TO AMPLIFY.” I’m sure you probably agree, as I do, that most people are doing way too much shit within their business. They’re trying too many tactics, and then it leads to doing a lot of things, but none of them that well.

Okay, there’s so much more to the awesome and amazing conversation we had, you must check it out, maybe a couple of times! Thanks again for listening, and thanks to Jenna for joining me and for being brilliant.
