Shed the Programming With MBTI, Jungian Psychology & Becoming Bold

from Embrace Your Inner Boldness · host Melissa Henning-Frank

Why do we shrink ourselves to fit in? Why do so many of us abandon the bold, true parts of who we are? In this episode, I'm taking you to school on Jungian psychology and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to explore how our personality gets shaped—and often masked—by the world around us. You'll learn how Carl Jung's theory of the persona, the shadow, and individuation help explain why we change from our natural self, and how MBTI has helped me reclaim my voice as an ENTP after years of shrinking to survive. We'll talk about the four MBTI dichotomies (Introversion/Extraversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, Judging/Perceiving), what it looks like when those styles clash, and how understanding type can deepen our empathy and unlock bold, authentic communication. If you've ever felt like you're performing your life instead of living it, this conversation will help you begin to deprogram the rules you never agreed to and remember who you were before the world told you who to be. Featuring: An overview of Jung's key concepts A breakdown of the MBTI type preferences in real life How I once hid the boldest parts of my ENTP nature Why deprogramming is essential to reclaim your inner boldness This is the work I'm called to—and I'm so glad you're here for it. Let's get bold, together. More information and bonus content here: linktr.ee/becoming_bold_llc
