I’m an author, a teacher, a speaker, and an intuitive writing coach. I also wrote the book The INFJ Writer, a writing guide for intuitive introverts, HSPs, empaths, and all other sensitive, struggling artists.

 

I began working with blocked writers in 2009 when I founded the WriteCity writing group in Seattle, and then I expanded the program to San Francisco in 2010. I became a full-time writing coach in 2013, working as an advocate for writers in one-on-one sessions designed to help bring the writer’s creative dreams into existence with unconditional love and support. In 2019, I created my Intuitive Writing method and began teaching the method to frustrated writers through workshops and online courses.

 

In between coaching writers and teaching classes, I’m currently promoting my latest book, The INFJ Revolution: Reclaim Your Power, Live Your Purpose, Heal the World. The INFJ Revolution is available on Amazon.

Why INFJs and INFPs Need an Intuitive Creative Process

INFJ personality types and INFP personality types love to try new methods of time management and productivity, and new methods of creativity. However, most of these methods don’t work for intuitive personality types. Instead, they make INFJ personality types and INFP personality types feel worse about themselves. This is because INFJ personality types and INFP personality types are very different from the mainstream population, and so the mainstream methods just don’t fit them. Sometimes INFJs and INFPs can take one of these methods and use it for a short period of time, or hack it in such a way that they can make it fit for a little while. But over the long term they will tend to abandon these methods and then be right back where they started, and that means feeling frustrated and alone.

INFJs and INFPs, Neurodivergence, and Lack of Focus

INFJ personality types and INFP personality types tend to judge themselves harshly for not sticking with projects and not finishing things. They blame themselves for a “lack of focus.” But what most INFJs and INFPs don’t know is that they are not the problem, and what they call a “lack of focus” is really a sign of a gifted neurodivergent mind. “Lack of focus” is one of the most commonly reported problems from INFJ personality types and INFP personality types when it comes to finishing creative projects. Many INFJs and INFPs will say:

Why No One Understands INFJ and INFP Creativity

INFJ personality types and INFP personality types are two of the most highly creative types out of all the MBTI types. However, they are also the two types that suffer from the most self-doubt about their creativity. There is one very good reason INFJ personality types and INFP personality types struggle so much with self-doubt in this area, and that’s because no one understands INFJ and INFP creativity. The truth is that INFJ personality types and INFP personality types are highly creative. Both types have no trouble coming up with new ideas, asking a lot of questions, wondering “why” and “what if,” and connecting seemingly unconnected things. These traits are all hallmarks of strong creativity. However, for most of their lives, whenever an INFJ or an INFP tries to share their creativity with others, they are told they are doing it the wrong way.
