In this reflection I posit that cognitive functions are not core features of the self but manifestation of something more essential as intersecting with the physical and social world. I specifically consider introverted intuition and wonder if it is a byproduct of a specific essence (pre-birth) functioning in a chaotic or unsafe environment. As a build up to this consideration, there were other talking points covered (i.e. behaviorism, liberation, consciousness, quantum physics, and a contrast between INTJ5 and INTJ8). *Trigger alert: abortion as a concept was briefly mentioned.

In this reflection I talk about a practice of pausing in real time to inspect the ways in which we show up in interpersonal interactions. I talked about internal scripts that prevent us from showing up in our higher selves. Finally, I talked about growing up as a black woman and the messages that were heard and internalized through the socialization process. Note: black lives matter and all lives matter as topics were briefly mentioned as well as a catalogue of the themes that were covered in Season 1.

This is Episode 100 and marks the ending to Season 1. In it I talk about growing and inspiring impact-growth. Impact-growth is growth that starts on the inside but grows to have an impact on the outer world. With that being said, I also talk about introverts having something the world needs and possibly being critical instruments of change. I end the reflection talking about vulnerability being my own personal growth point especially as an INTJ8 seeking reciprocal relationships.

In this reflection I talk about a New Year's Resolution that took me 11 years to achieve--responsible self acceptance. I also talk about two main steps required for responsible self acceptance: 1) an understanding of the social world and 2) an understanding of the inner world. Finally I talked about the way the pandemic revealed cracks in our personal lives and trapped us in a single moment in time.

In this reflection I talk about radical truth and radical growth that, together, requires us to resist shame, vulnerabilities and insecurities. I talk about information versus wisdom and my unwillingness to share wisdom as related to my own radical growth. I talk about hiding out in information, about overcoming darkness and depression, and about surviving abuse yet still holding onto trauma bonds. I end with a question to self... what would be of greatest value in the next season: to be information driven or to be wisdom driven?

In this reflection I talk about adding space, memory and processing units to my brain through what I'm calling the Brain Room. I also talk about living my life according to lists and the joy that is given to me when I create those lists and accomplish what's on them. Finally I talk about physical stability/instability and the impact of romance on the physical world. #LifeAfterBreakUps #LifeHacks #Business

In this reflection I talk about a conversation I had with an ENTJ and an INTJ-HSP. I consider Fe and Fi's ability to empathize (versus sympathize) Finally I talk about the intensity of having Ni-Fi combined.

In this reflection I talk about my work as an educator and as a change agent. As the name suggests, I talk about inequities in education for marginalized communities and about the ways these inequities activate (inflame?) my introverted feelings (Fi). #Enneagram8 #Enneagram1 #Enneagram5 #BiVocational #Employment #Entrepreneurship #CriticalPedagogy #SocialChange

In this reflection I talk about the ways I enjoy and am turned off by sensors. I also give an update on my colleague I have named the INTJ agitator (and the ways she comes across as Si). Finally, I talk about two romantic relationships I have had (one Si and the other Se) and the poem I wrote when I compared/contrasted them to each other. Note: the poem will be posted on my website: www.yournidom.wordpress.com.
