In this Mistyping session, Sandy from Chicago—a leadership and development coach—traces how infertility,and a bruising conservatory experience pushed her from “just tell me what to do” health coaching into deeper inner work. We talk holding space for grief without “positivity bullying,” growing up Midwestern “everything’s fine,” motorcycles as moving meditation, the love–hate of French horn performance, and learning to listen to her body. Then we press into typing: the pull between Five and Nine (with Four in the wings), what it means to prefer clarity over calm, intrusion over conflict, conserving energy, and hearing the heart-message that “your needs aren’t a problem.” Along the way: birding, butterflies, boundaries, and finding a voice that can move to Eight when needed.
