I am a 63 year old recently -discovered ENFP who worked in the engineering field for the last 40 years. Over this time, I always felt like I was in the wrong field, but making money and providing for my family was paramount. I always produced above average work and was rewarded accordingly, but I tended to always look towards greener pastures, generally looking towards new opportunities and positions at various companies that peaked my interest. It worked out well monetarily, but I always felt as if I were an imposter. This resulted in my retirement and subsequent major depression. I am on my way back, slowly but surely, acting as a mentor for graduate level engineering students. It allows me to watch these amazing minds at work and challenges me in a way that industry never could. Please follow your hearts in life, folks, it will lead you to some amazing places!

[@marshallbrown2072]

I will be 63 in June. I feel that I have been through enough experiences as an ENFP that I can finally get around to self-actualizing. So much of my recent journey has been learning about type, and Heidi is a top practitioner, especially for us.

[@blackjack6840]

I almost cried watching this. I have watched many ENFP videos in the past but no one has described my life and feelings the way you did in this video. I finally feel like i'm not incompetent and alone. I'm just different like other ENFPs. I have tried many jobs that are extremely mundane and detailed oriented and it ate my soul up. Everyone around me thinks I'm lazy and problematic for not being able to hold a job. They think I'm whiny and maybe even weak. But I really tried to the point where I have so much anxiety when even thinking about a job. I finally quit my job to do a design certification and I had some doubts about it. I'm 27 and still have no "expertise" in a particular field. When you said we mentally try to go towards a route that society deems "correct/right" it really struck a chord. The problem is I need to stop thinking logically about potential road blocks (internships/jobs/job market) and just go for it. I think your video just stopped my procrastination. I will definitely be coming back to this video to motivate myself and check out your other videos. Thank you Heidi, I truly mean it from the bottom of my heart.

[@alice19th]

Whoa you described my life right there! Hopefully we will find a job that will fulfill us ❤

[@hettijayne]

Hey wow I really resonated with your comment! ❤I feel this so bad and feel the same I’ve flit from one job to the other and have always felt like I’m not very competent or intelligent. Can I ask how your getting on now a year from your comment in terms of career?

[@normietwiceremoved]

I had to check to see if I wrote your comments 😅. You sound just like me.

[@jeremyvanegmond1216]

As a 43-year-old ENFP also working in the Civil Engineering field, for sanity sake, I find that the key is to first learn everything about the business, there are volumes of always-evolving standards in this practice. Once you feel confident in your knowledge, work towards management or teaching. The monotony of detailed repetitive work and manual data-entry and analysis is soul-sucking and leads to procrastination and potential depression. Keeping it personal and interacting with others creates a mental reward system that has allowed me to slug through some difficult days. I recently read that engineering was one of the top 5 BAD career choices for ENFP’s. I found that interesting to read as the rationale was due to technical and repetition-based tasks. The thing is, I love engineering and it helps me make sense of the world around me. I will likely shift career paths later on to teaching or management because I know that reading the room and working with people comes more naturally.

[@hebakhalbous9792]

I'm a baby engineer (computer engineering undergrad) and the part about engineering helping you make sense of the world around you is so true to me Like it's really hard sometimes.. but there are some things about it that give me the "firing on all cylinders" feeling

[@liese-cz9wo]

I'm 18 years old, from South Africa, an ENFP, and you stopped me from starting university in a field I for sure know I would hate. Looking up other alternatives led me to be accepted into a multi-media fine arts program and I could not be happier. This is a massive understatement but THANK YOU.

[@arisgnnks]

I am so happy for you taking your life in your hands!!

[@nicoleheymannweltgestalter]

This rings true for INFPs as well. I am 28 years old and have studied 2 masters degrees in art and theology, and now feel like I want to learn more about sustainable agriculture. My well-meaning family and friends wonder things like "why can't you just focus". The truth is, I'm terrified of the idea of just being a pastor of a little church or doing another "safe and logical" job that "goes" with what I studied. I had a passion for development work in subsaharan Africa since I was a kid, dreaming about empowering people to use their own creative resources to build their own communities and lives. So even if my path looks random, it never actually was in my mind. I see all this learning in different areas as gathering different dimensions of one big picture. I have pursued the quest for a long time, yet felt occasionally guilty for doing so. But a few weeks ago I decided to fully embrace the quest rather than resist it: I want to get my intermediate French certificate, and work a few years so I can maybe save up for a 7-month course on development work. I even started watching videos about math and business, subjects I never liked but know you need to have a basic grasp of when in that field. This really does change my energy level completely. I noticed that a burst of "get yourself organized" is also a sign of stress for me, so I don't want to burn myself out in the other direction, but the freedom to learn really is a freedom to fly for me. Though I may get anxious because I hardly see anyone else doing it this way, I don't want to turn back. Hope you other free spirits find your balance between good structure and freedom too. Take care!

[@ohyeah2269]

Thanks for sharing. I'm an ENFP type. This is exactly my mind you described and my current struggle as we speak. I've been unmotivated and sensing I need to take a break from studying TV and film production for now and go study another field maybe tied with math or a good teaching subject and make some money to finance my arts field then come back. I've been interested in fieldd that typically didn't interest me in the past like torture and now I'm itching dive in feeling it'll Equip me with necessary tools. My instincts are telling me to do so and my utmost desire is to Equip people the most too.

You are welcome to Africa, you will find the most amazing places to try new things and adventure your mind.

[@perjohanaxell9862]

Hi there you seem like a younger me thou I never had the courage to persue the arts side of my self. I studied theology and actually tried to work as a pastor. It never really worked out. I eventually had to except I wasn't cut out for that kind of work. Don't do it if you don't think it's for you it's a very strange job, with lots of demands not easy to see from the outside. Like you l am allso interested in nature and biology. Not least ecology and sustainability. Sometimes I regret not perusing that in my studies. We all make our choices I suppose. Mabey it's not to late even if it feels that way sometimes. Sorry for the ramblings I just saw your post and felt some similarities. Just wanted to drop a comment and say hi your not alone. Go for the dream, play with what you have and be greatfull for what you got.

[@nicoleheymannweltgestalter]

@@perjohanaxell9862 Thank you for the encouragement. I will go for it, with open expectations for how exactly it will play out. Maybe you can do the same, as you say, it's not too late :) God bless you, and have a great day!

Its such a great personality type to be but also like a curse in this rigid mechanical system we live in. I can flourish at anything except keeping a routine oriented job...that I struggle with.....I have to feel free and flexible....its a must....I cant stand being told what to do, and being micromanaged. Sometimes I feel like i have to be self employed or it has to be something that is fun and exciting but has a limit to it. Like a seasonal thing, then moving on.....I just love change....My biggest fear is feeling stuck. I love photography, travel, humor, deep conversation, acting, and making/creating ideas and things. My worst enemy is being bored or feeling isolated from the world....or if I feel like I dont fit in....which is often...lol

Just brilliant Heidi! You give us ENFPs permission to be ourselves when we kind of knew we could move mountains, but got stuck rearranging filing cabinets somehow! Maybe we thought that’s what an SJ wanted us to do!? 😄 It’s so empowering when you understand those moments of enthusiastic, energised flow…don’t have to be occasional or damped down. We can keep tapping into the explorer within us and making sense of the world for ourselves and others. Thank you so much. 🙏

[@christiney6956]

This is so good. I work in a law firm as a receptionist. I used to be a journalist. It has been very soul sucking and hard to align myself with this world and it's been 10 months now. I need to go back into writing/creating/producing. You talking about energy is SO SPOT ON. I come home and I'm drained and un-energized and then I don't wanna do anythign else. Meanwhile, I could interview, write etc all day and then be so excited after the entire day is done. I need this again in my life -- the talk about energy is EVERYTHING. How can I go on and work, work, work in a field that doesn't inspire and create the way I'm used to for so many years. All for the sake of 'stability' - sometimes it's not worth that even, because as you said...you will have to accomodate your new lifestyle (one you don't want) with things you wouldn't have done/purchased had you been happy doing what you know you're meant to be doing. Anyone who reads this and is a person of faith - please say a prayer for me. I know what the Lord has me to do, but I've been conforming and losing steam quickly. Thank you for re-invigorating me by telling me what I needed to hear.

Uncanny as always, and timely. Three years of integrating self-care into my days, learning through MBTI how to better know self and other. ENFPs celebrate the gifts others bring. We seek, almost selflessly, to see others flourish. I can honestly say that I am at the peak of my skills with people and turning ideas into realities, much because I have learned the importance of tending my light. The journey just got so much more interesting!

[@vaibhavsharma9060]

This was fucking eye opening. I am 23 years old. I am a former professional footballer. I stopped playing due to no support from family in my profession. My parents peer pressured me into pursuing science after 10th standard. Ever since I failed 11th standard, my life has been a mess. Now, I am graduating as a business major in a few weeks and feeling lost in my life. Thank you for this video. I feel like my eyes have opened again.

e Ne rgy this video presents a great angle of Ne as a fairly unique vibe in an SJ/ /TJ world ; there can be misunderstanding and even shaming from other types/ general culture regarding Ne's energy patterns and it can be difficult not to internalize that over time - thanks for this perspective reframe.

[@reyne8424]

I burnt out at 23 after years of almost no creative work at all. I lived in a charming community, with a huge garden, animals, children, a house to renovate, lots of events and a camping site where I met lots of interesting people. But I had no projects of my own, partly due to terrible self-esteem and health and partly due to not having enough money to be able to buy the tools and supplies I needed. I only ever helped others with their projects, took care of their children and household. Which was fine for a while, I got to know incredible people and loved the children and the animals, but then the pandemic hit, my health declined again and while the world was in lockdown, the farm was being renovated. 5 month of construction noise from 5 different directions by day and the workers being allowed to use the big event sound system at night. The owners did not want to enforce any kind of curfew and other insurmountable problems started to arise as well, so the community slowly crumbled. The day I got out of there, started to make music again and started to learn to draw, I came back to the land of the living. I learned that I cannot live without a creative outlet, something that is mine and mine only, and that it is vital that I take the time to look after my own needs. I have no idea what to do next career-wise, but at least I have hope and enough headspace to sort things through and make art.

I bought your ENFP book today, Heidi, on Kindle and have spend most of my day reading it and highlighting like mad! Finally, to be identified and agreed with perfectly! I’m a mature age female, Australian, artist and writer. I am a graphic designer with a Bachelor in visual communication with 30 years of experience as a fine artist. My intuition is beyond reliable and extraordinary and influences my artwork and writing that blows my mind and of those who get a taste of these. I can make and do practically anything I put my mind to, because I can work things out 3D in my head then go and make it or fix it. There is no limit to my creative ability! I love helping, teaching, passing on words of wisdom or practical tips that might edify someone I just met or already know because I love doing these things. Thank you for writing your ENFP book! I really appreciate it. 📖😀💖🇦🇺

[@NaturallyWit]

Thank you so much for this video. I feel like I really needed to hear a lot of this. I feel like I have been struggling with trying to do things the procedural way that is always talked about and it just. does. not. wooooork for me. I beat myself up about it. I'm in the process of making a major career move and I find myself stuck because I don't wanna do the traditional work thing anymore but it feels like I need to so I can make money like everyone else....but I'm not like everyone else :,( and that's okay :,)! I am enough. It's okay for me to be this hyper-active, energetic person with a lot of things that I care about and am passionate about and have the ability to actually work towards in some way. I can just follow where my energy wants me to be which is like.....free? free to follow those sparks of inspiration and creativity. Free to ingest a bunch of information, extrapolate and make theories and research (and make sense of it all, like you said! it's truly a super power). Thank you so much for this video :,) I'm gonna go cry now

Heidi, I’m turning 26 next month! And I’m trying to figure things out. I just separated from my husband back in January, it was so hard because he’s my best friend and I love him, but our life together was just not right and I had never been more drained, useless, and unhappy. He understood me pretty well, but he never UNDERSTOOD me. He’s an INTJ, so I hope that statement makes more sense now. Everything is so uncertain for me now that I’m on my own, but in all the best ways because now I’m free to create and live on my own terms. All this to say, I was in a deep dark place, more confused than I have ever been. I found out I’m an ENFP at the start of the New Year, found your videos which were enlightening and fun, but now extremely soul touching and elevating. Thank you.

[@DrLoNoel]

Sending love to you. I also separated from my son‘s father who is an INTJ. We connected on so many levels, but I was never happy. We were together on and off for five years. We also have a toddler together. My ex never really understood me and he was never tender enough with my heart. I am now married to an ENFJ and I’m so much happier on so many levels.

[@annemarrie3895]

Aaaw you'll be ok. It may seem like you're a fish out of water in the beginning, but you'll end up realising pretty quickly how much change does so well for us. You'll explore, learn , and eventually love again but on your own terms... your life has just began..the best advice I can give you as an enfp, is never fear starting over & over. Our world doesn't encourage this as much, but that's the type of people that we are..if something isn't working, it's ok to let yourself try something else & something else , as you continue to explore...I send you so much love. Hugs.

[@Tldrchris]

I’m in a similar situation separated and being divorced by my wife who is an INTJ as well, everyone’s situation is obviously different but I understand the struggle of not being able to excel and be the creatives we deserve to be. I do hope you find your inspiration to be your best self and share that with everyone!

[@mrsdragonite]

I have a somewhat emotionally distant friend I care about a lot that is an INTJ. While I enjoy our conversations and intellect, he can be very apathetic and isolates a lot. I really enjoy our interactions, but they're so few and far between I grow weary.

[@silentgrove7670]

I have gone thru 3 failed friendships with INTJs. I feel it is the F part that is missing from the INTJs that makes connection very hard. That initial Ni Ne synergy is good but finding the F connection isn't something I have found INTJs can do with me. This feeling part I have discovered is hard to find with most people actually. I had to let go of the last INTJ friend when I said its good that I have found someone I can trust and they said, 'That is too much pressure." and their body language changed as well as they moved away from me clearly put off. This was after 4 years of knowing each other. I think most ENFPs are going to be too feeling oriented to do well without another feeler type to be vulnerable with. It is certainly true for me.

Love you, Heidi! I'm a big ENFP at heart, always felt like a sore thumb and sensitive chaotic scatter-brain growing up (in Vietnam!) I moved to Europe and the US for half of my life, and only recently relocated back to Vietnam in my early 30s. The homogenous rigid hustling Asian society that has no respect for human rights is absolutely abhorrent and abrasive to my soul!! I am having a hard time navigating the new belief system here that prioritizes collectivism, fitting in, saving face, and money-making before all else! Verbal affirmation and individual recognition are also not the norms here. Thank you so much for reminding ENFPs of our Ne-dom superpower! THIS encouragement IS absolutely needed. THANK YOU! Xx

I'm an ENFP in my mid-20s, was in the US for 2.5 years, and went back to China almost 2 years ago. I strongly agree with your feelings about the Asian society.

Ive been waiting for days for another video of yours to be uploaded. And agh i needed this. I have been learning a lot nowadays because I read books and listen to meaningful contents. And that- gethering information really makes me feel alive. Same goes as when I apply it. But whenever they ask me what course id take in college, I just want to avoid the topic and just cry. Because I dont really know if college, taking a linear path of career, would help me get through life happily. I am only stuck with computer science and civil engineering and im not even passionate about it despite getting exceptional grades. Those things drain a life out of me. I just want to explore more but they tell me im just impractical and wasting my potential. My family's not even rich. The world is very SJ. It suffocates me. Thank you for this video.

This is amazing; I had an extreme burnout in 2020 and had to quit a lucrative career. I am working again and still not even as close to the worker I was before. It is extremely disheartening. I feel restless and stressed, and am unable to remember or focus. I feel unanchored, and can’t figure out how to climb out of this. I am definitely checking out the boot camp! Thank you so much for all you do!

[@jerileenailstylist]

I will watch this video over and over whenever i seek a feeling to seen!

[@majamierzwinska5543]

I waited to finish my semester to watch this video because I knew it would give me the energy and the best approach to tackle life after graduation. It's so so valuable, thank you so much Heidi:)

[@MDanimations44]

Absolutely Bangin' video Heidi!! I love your passion and energy!! I whole heartedly agree and have structured my life in such a better way because of your course and content, that I'm finally showing up in the world as my authentic self!! Big thanks Heidi 🙏🙏💙💫

[@ckzamora]

This is great. Thank you. I really appreciate all your work. I noticed through your attachment issues videos how you are able to hit the bullseye on the problems and solutions like no one I have ever heard. Very succinct. Excellent.

[@kun_kue]

I definitely feel like this in my career and I know this because when I was in a more explore-focused position I produced crazy amounts of work. Even if I feel a strong no about someone I cant force myself into the situation.

[@StaceyNaumczik]

I needed this today, Heidi. Thank you for everything you do. I purchased the Bootcamp for the ENFP. I'm still working on it. It has helped me so far to figure what my strengths and weaknesses. Hugs!

[@evangeraldysuryoto507]

Thanks for the advice you share. I am an ENFP who is currently undecided about my life choices. I find this video helpful. Thank you and God bless you ❤

[@jennifermayo8293]

I'm 55 years old. I've worked as an attorney for most of my adult life. I absolutely HATE IT. Back in 2017 I found myself learning about personality types and coaching. So I became a coach, got a job in talent development, and soon after started a master's in Psychology. I was extremely happy, and then in 2020 I relocated and started a new job. Now I find myself doing something that pays really well, but I'm miserable again. 😭

[@sll110]

you so lovely, you will get your points

[@jennyxuchi2147]

Why are you miserable again? Is it because of something about psychology or something about staying on a fixed path?

[@emocean582]

Thank you for sharing. So was coaching a good fit for you? If so, did you have a niche? I am 50 and just finished a bachelor's in Social & Behavioral Science. However, what job is creative and stimulating that doesn't need a masters? I was pondering women's retreats. I live in Maine so it is a desirable destination. However I worry getting that one difficult client will ruin group vibe. 🤷‍♀️

[@tanyaguillory7783]

Give it three years and go for something else:) just work through next year. Looking for something else will give you the energy to get through. Im saying three years strictly for career/resume purposes.

[@sophiapetrillo3008]

I’ve watched this video over and over again because my brain needs the repetition. My biggest apparent roadblock right now is the cost of the “exploring” and experiences I want to have. I’m hoping the focus on the energy pays itself back!

[@MyRawTake]

Couldn’t relate to a comment more… Currently making great money, but it’s hard to give all of that up to feed my soul the exploration it’s seeking

[@bugivuginaprugi]

Where did you go hiking? Sending love from a burned out fearful-avoidant ENTFP. Deeply grateful for all the deep insight, knowledge, tenderness and compassion you share.

[@vemrith]

Same boat here, have you found some silver lining?

[@victtayl]

Gosh, this hit home. I'm actually INFP but pretty socially extrovert. The pandemic has really narrowed opportunties for adventure and that's been really hard for NPs I imagine. I always say I feel most alive when I'm doing something new, incongruous, etc. The mundane domestic stuff really saps my soul. It's making more sense now!

[@taaayooos]

Life changed forever. Literally free therapy. Thanks!

[@aditikulkarni8552]

the fact that i had to rewind three times when you were talking about "not really being present, zoning out.." wow. i feel this need to create or work on something right now but i don't know what to do! i have been so passive about my life for the past few years, parents making decisions for me, nothing is making me happy and now i want to find my purpose, myself again i just don't know where to begin....i know i want to 'create' something, do something meaningful but it feels like decisions of these few years have not left me with many choices...

[@saivineethks63]

I had an SJ manager during my time working at Google. He was the devil of my soul. He would make me feel bad about my creative thinking. He micromanaged thr fuck out of me with hourly updates and shit. An ENFP worst nightmare is another SJ, especially the ones that make us feel bad for who we are.

[@motomule]

Wow.. Where were you 30 years ago? 😂 I've spent the majority of my life trying to shove my square self into a round hole... So ready to learn more, to truly understand myself. You are a refreshing voice, please continue making these videos, you are truly helping people! Thank you.

[@xandragonist]

Thank you very much, I recently dropped college. I have 1 more semester to complete before graduation but i literally burned out so I decided to drop out and pursue a small business. I have a very vague future because i droped out but i am happy on what i'm doing everyday.

[@mkling9826]

As an INTP (Ne as second function), I deeply resonated with the advice you give. Really appreciated

[@abdullahbaig7517]

I cannot tell you how relatable this is... when you talked about the solo hike thing, it resonated so deeply with my own experience of self that my eyes got teary. Thanks for putting this out. Every ENFP needs to watch this!

[@FiNe_SiTe]

I realize you're ENFP but us INFPs would surely appreciate insight on us 💓

[@JupiterLight28]

Thank you for this. I struggle with all of my societal programming to be a certain optimal way but it's like having a constant battle with my shadow over what I think I need and what I actually need. I brick and mortared off my creativity to focus on money and spent all that money chasing happiness. Whole time hearing my heart beating on the other side of a cement wall. I'm trying to get back to myself, trying to not let the corporate bounds of society convince me to abandon who I am anymore. That all might sound really cryptic or dramatic to some but I know ENFP will understand😅 I'm still studying to find my type. I have to knock out some more options. I'm between all the intuitive mains at this point, childhood was really complicated with an a mass of influence from all different types. Being a people pleaser it is hard to pick out what I did for me and what I did for them. Main struggle is art... I have such a complex when I do art and I blame college courses for making me analyze the structure of art in an overly practical way. I love to analyze but losing the magical properties of creation turned my art mind palace into a conference room of all the opinions from other people of what I should be working on instead. I need some windows in there it's cold!

[@SeelenTaucher]

Gosh dear Heidi, this one hits many cores, thank u so deeply 🙏🏻💖🌍🕊️

[@flipthemoon]

What a relief!! Thank you so much ❤

[@nura1627]

This feels so relevant and validating. Thanks fellow ENFP!

[@carmenm8521]

OMG it is soooo difficult to have the courage to leave the engineering careers and understanding that its ok to be me(in my case i don’t know what i like: i like a bunch of different things and i realize that my passion for them come in waves) but it is incredible to have some people around helping to understand my self

[@seanaskrent9404]

I relate to this so much right now - feel stuck, bored, procrastinating. I left my full time job in med device Aug 2020 to finish my MBA with hopes of getting into product management in med device. Covid resurged so I took a job at a CRO with financial issues I didn’t know about. Then a contract job as a medical device product manager at a toxic company and was let go. Now I’m a contractor, product advisor in the pharmacy insurance space. I took the job because I was unemployed and needed to provide for my family but each day I feel like my soul is dying more and more. I make decent money and they’ve mentioned converting me but I’m miserable. I’m not even sure what to do anymore since I had so many short stints, I feel I need to sit this one out at least to show recent long term job stability.

[@TheDaruma100]

Heidi, thank you for the validation! I’ve been burnt out for years and recently decided I can’t continue in my current dead-end job. I’m thinking about quitting my job, cashing out my retirement, buying an RV, and traveling full time. I’m torn between doing that now, or after getting a Master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages; having the degree “in my back pocket” would feel like a safety net.

[@Sarahlindsay_]

Wow. I’m an ENFP and you are truly my spirit animal ❤

[@JHabroni]

HOLY SHIT! Apparently all ENFPs are feeling this one! Heidi I stopped everything I was doing to watch and listen to this video's powerful message. I feel like after the past 3 years, I finally positioned myself to entering that zone of triggering that superpower. Career wise, I left my previous one because my energy was getting DRAINED. I literally have an interview lined up tomorrow to enter a company that would allow me to unleash my creative energy, allow me to take personal time off to feeding my mind body and soul, which seriously would allow me to be the best version of myself! You articulated this so well in the video! Probably because we are ENFP, but I locked in when you were breaking down the extroverted introspection. WOW! LET's HELP THE WORLD!!

[@dearfuturedeon]

Every time i feel a little lost in life, I always come back to Heidi. I always refer back to the ENFP soul bootcamp and it really helps me stay grounded. Absolute Bangers

[@mtc-j9i]

This really resonated with me. I tested as ENFP when I first took the test. It was accurate for me when I took it (just came from living abroad, single, fun). Then, when I took the test again in a different phase of my life (married to someone who was unstable and lacked empathy…forced me to be the stable one and operate in logic to explain my feelings), I tested as ENTP. I appreciated the ENTP label more…maybe because it reflected the role that I was living in and made me feel tougher. But after watching this, I definitely know that my first score was correct, and I’ve been trying to change myself for years to accommodate expectations and limitations of those around me. I’ve had that square peg/round hole feeling for about a decade now. It’s time to shake things up! I’ve had my dark night of the soul, and I won’t go back to that way of life.

[@anasophia7]

Do you have an update on what you ended up doing? It would really help my situation. I feel like it's my duty to provide for my wife and kids. But got the same no empathy, won't forgive, holds on to and brings up the past consistently. I am working 80 hours a week just to take care of them so I don't create or explore much. She holds grudges for 1 reason or another against my family and friends so I have backed away from the people who use to encourage me most. I feel guilty for sneaking text to my sister or old friend every once in a while just to say I miss ya bro, how are you? My love language is words and she thinks words are meaningless so she never says I love you or I miss you even though I say it all the time to her. I'm not trying to make her sound awful, she just has been hurt by someone or something or me at some point in the past and then remembers it forever and then says I can't have my sister or that friend in my life if she is going to be in it because I should be choosing my wife over my relatives and friends. She gives an ultimate, me or them. I'm having a hard time justifying "I want to make music and be creative and bla bla bla" is worth leaving my wife over. I'd rather provide and keep my commitment that marriage is a forever thing than pursue my own selfish desires to follow my dreams or "Hang out with my bros" every once in a while. (That's my thought process. But I feel like I'm not me anymore) I feel like I have to choose between my dreams or my wife and I feel selfish thinking about choosing my dreams when I can barely afford to take care of them now. She is an INTP but comes from a broken family growing up. She never uses words to encourage me and if I ever create something, she gets offended and it reminds her of the past when I use to record music early in our marriage which reminds her of me hanging out with my sister too much so she wont even listen to a song I created even If I create a new one now. She can't get over the past. She is never present and I cant have friends really so I only get harsh criticisms with no encouragement every day. I thrive off of encouraging and now I'm isolated and don't get any words of affirmation. I am drained and feel like I lost my life but I don't want to loose my wife either. I am always hoping if just keep going she will change and eventually forgive me. What can I possibly do in this situation. This video made me think my dreams might be important because I have no energy anymore.

[@JustinField1000]

​@Calyb Williams I hope you're doing a bit better fellow ENFP. I realise that you posted this a couple of months ago, but thought I would deliver my insights since you were asking for advice. I believe from what you have written that you already know the answer to your problem deep down. It appears that your wife is incompatible with you and is a main energy drainer. Sorry if that's too direct but that was my takeaway, I'd advise meditating on it and trying to listen to your intuition about the situation if you need clarification :)

[@syzygy4365]

​@@anasophia7 well a family does need support. Are you struggling to see the work she provides? It's hard being a homemaker, and many people don't understand just how much work and sacrifice it takes doing that end. As for the lack of affection, that seems to be the soul drainer.

[@anetakocisova1123]

Heidi, i love you. I am ENFP like you and i feel you so much. You remind me of myself. And thank to you and your videos I am realising the truth.

[@MartinLannion]

God bless you Heidi! 🙏 I returned to listen again to this video . I am in awe at your incredible insight and wisdom! Words fail me. Thank you so much 😊❤😊

[@yccn410]

I can’t express how grateful I am for this video. I’ve been depressed due to my job and I found out I don’t fit in or like this responsibility at all but push myself through over for almost three years feeling not good enough and not confident. Thank you!

[@dyannemanka]

You are such a pleasure to watch and listen to. You are so good at this. So encouraging. Such useful information. Blessings.

[@kelliodell9686]

THANK YOU! Thank you for doing this with your life and for sharing it. Inspiring, articulate, helpful. Running right over to Soul Bootcamp...

[@arisgnnks]

Yes, being in the moment, in touch with ourselves, following our own emotions, needs, desires and ways to do things is a big struggle which is also very hard to organize in our own way. I believe my yang STP contacts have been the most important in life in this matter, being a direct example of how to deal with everything I am not aware of! Thank you! Helpful advice! You're a very beautiful person, would wanna hug and kiss you anytime XD wonderful eyes!

[@dkwon153]

Thank you for the video, this is Godsent! I thought there was something wrong with my hormone.. until I watched this video. This MBTI thing is so intuitive!

[@user-rk6uz2in6b]

This is why i love the internet. Your videos and your book is extremely helpful! I've been in an emotional low for a year now, and through your work I'm finally getting some answers, and sense of way out of this blackhole. Eternally thankful! Petra

[@jenniferflanagan5523]

This hit so hard for me. I'm in the burnout period right now. I'm heading for divorce and my current job (which i'm good at) is keeping me from entering full on panic mode. At the same time it's slowly killing me 😢. I've thought about doing something similar (go live abroad for a year or just travel) but my marriage has made it so i'm not financially able to do so. So thank you Heidi for this wonderful dose of reality in a time when I felt like I can't see or think clearly!

[@rachelle.gillis]

WOW!!! As an ENFP I REALLY resonated with this & am so grateful that I came across your beautiful soul and this gem of a video! THANK YOU! Xx

[@pierogd5501]

Thank you so much for your work. I am in this point in my life where I have to choose my higher education path. Because I have this ability to analize and think precisely I always had good grades etc. Now, when I want to study something that will be not well paid (but I'm passionate about it) everyone tells me that I shouldn't do it. They always wanted me to be a lawyer or smt because of my good grades. This video made me realise that my energy is sooo important and that no amount of money will replace my satisfaction in life. Thank you so much! ❤️ (sorry for my bad English, it's my second language)

[@JolynJanis]

Your videos are like a personal user manual. Thanks Heidi!

[@kristinetennant9202]

Heidi - My mom used to tell me this when I was your age. I wish i had more courage when i was younger to follow my gut towards a career that fed my soul and did not drain me. You are amazing sharing this message so clearly with others. It will help us who have struggled with choosing a career path. Love your videos. Now I am older and not focused on creating a career any longer. Wondering if you could do a video on types of jobs for ENFP Seniors who are not looking to build a career but to find a job that provides the satisfaction that we have been searching for so long.

[@alisabondar]

You said “it ends up costing us time and money” I’ll add one more to that. It *can* end up costing us our health. Energy flow in the body is imperative for vibrant health. Our health can wither like a flower if we stagnate our energy and even worse if we create a lot of resistance

[@caryhamilton3311]

Thanks for this so much. I felt like this for so long, with periods of great energy and production, and periods of lethargy and inactivity. I watched this video, and it connected the dots for me. This is the reason I keep furthering my education and am always looking for new experiences, and why most people I am around drain my energy. I have a vast skill set and a lot of talents and wisdom to share. One last thing, I know I am going to change the world. You are awesome!

[@simplesould729]

Heidi, you are incredible! You are the muse for all ENFP’s. Thank you so much for putting your wisdom out into the world. Life changing advice that is intuitive to the ENFP soul and rings immediately true!

[@Dev_tcs]

I have heard lots of psychologists, motivators and gurus. Nobody has ever made more sense. For one simple reason. You are sharing because you wanted too. And more because you are speaking truth. Not falling into bizarre display of ability to convince and supercede through logical but shallow argument that the speaker has no idea about. Subscribed because truth is needed and scarce in the age of artificial reality.

[@acraze2u]

Love this video. Hopped from Job to job which lasted me anywhere from 4 months -1 year. Until I found my current job in the airline industry. Been here for 8 years now, and going on strong. Although it doesn’t pay well and has a lot of negative aspects to it that most people don’t know or think about…My job is my oasis.

[@Apocryphal_Soldier]

I have totally lived this. I’m on the cusp of springing into my healed and energized self and it’s sort of freaking me out listening to this. The timing is mind blowing. I deeply resonate with literally EVERYTHING you’re saying.

[@mainemceachern1521]

Loved this! Thank you Heidi. You’re spot on with recognizing that the great power of the ENFP is, in a word, wisdom. The wisdom that comes from higher order synthesis of diverse, deeply felt and well considered experience. I’m career pivoting right now after 13+ years in law and government, pursuing what truly engages and grows me so I can foment the same in others. Awakening to your true nature takes time and courage but there is nothing better than realizing you can create your own awesome path in life - despite familial expectations and social conventions.

[@HJOTech]

Holy crap I am an INFP but often relate so much to the ENFP videos you make so I thought I would watch this one and your story at 5:30 about being able to make so much money-- procrastinating-- feeling shitty and stressed about procrastinating relates to my experience exactly

[@Ty_Mathieson]

Love it. I have had the burnout experience twice working with sensing judging types and now I pull my own horse. Great video, great message.

[@workwithwalter]

All right Heidi, seems this is where I am exactly right now! Thank you a lot for such valuable insights!

[@Vincent_Desjardins]

You have no idea how your content helps people, thank you very much for the work you do.

[@LevelsToThisShift]

Woooooooooooow. Definitely went through all your similar experiences in the past year. Making a shit ton of money where I was in demand but it did not fulfill anything in me and steered me away from my true desires. currently on the going in debt part to fulfill my needs and show up daily in what I love to do.

[@davehasenford3985]

I had never heard of Meyers Briggs or attachment styles until recently I saw them alluded to on different women's dating profiles and they piqued my curiosity. Researching attachment theory really blew my mind and helped me make sense of my own feelings and actions, and what went wrong with a recent love affair I was very emotionally invested in. But there was something missing. Then I stumbled on your video ENFP and letting go. It was crazy because I had taken the test and it said I was ENFP but I don't usually put much stock in that sort of thing so it didn't mean anything to me. But when I watched that video I finally understood why I feel the way I do and that my feelings are valid even thought the people who are close to me can't understand. Now, watching this video is even more like coming home. Similar to my love life, my friends often don't understand my career decisions, and I've often wondered myself why I can't follow the same patterns as other people. Let me also add that a lot of this bewilderment has often led me to seek regulation with alcohol, and lately as I have been growing out of that, this self-awareness is so important to me as a way to feel comfortable with myself in my own skin without having to turn back to substance abuse. Thank you so much for the work you do. There are so many people in the mental health field who are either not very talented or don't try hard to be true professionals. Of course this is true of every profession, including my own. The world needs people like you, in every field, who are genuine and who are making the most of the gifts we have, and not just being lazy or greedy. The last couple months have been very hard for me. Thank you for giving me the motivation to reach towards giving my best again.

[@davehasenford3985]

I want to add that sometimes when I take the test I get ENTP or INFP. So I must be in a grey area

[@vemrith]

I think that’s normal for ENFP, same happens to me, when I’m forced to be more logical and shut out my feelings I feel like I/ENTP, and when I let my emotions overwhelm me all whilst avoiding them and start questioning everting I do/did/will do then I’m a legit INFP.

[@spencerkerkhof8356]

Jeeez. Your words are lifting the veil of depression and allowing me to be seen and heard. Thank you
