Dear Reader, after a six-month hiatus, I finally published another video on my YouTube channel! 😅 I had a great time putting this one together - it's a reply to a lovely ENFJ viewer's questions about communication styles, and how to get their ESFP partner to pay more focused attention while they're out and about. You can watch it here: Although I don't mention them in the video, it was also a useful reminder that I've had all 178 variations of "Your Love Profiles" reports saved on my computer... when they should be put to good use, helping you better understand yourself and your partner!! So if you'd like to talk through your Type pairing, you'll find a link below to buy. It comes with a private Q&A where we can chat specifically about your situation. No pressure, just saying it's there in case you've been wondering. Ok, now I wanna say something else. I'm turning 50 next month. Having various feelings about it, but generally all rather chill. I've long thought that growing older is a privilege denied to many, and seeing how my life (mental, emotional, relational) has changed for the better through my 40s kinda makes me look forward to the next decade. To celebrate, I've invited my friends to a Zoom party for which I'm gonna make a lemon cake (vegan) and a playlist (some Neue Deutsche Welle and lots of 80s UK pop so far). Really looking forward to that. 🥳 So just because I'm actually honestly feeling spontaneous, don't buy your copy of the self-discovery video or Your Love Profiles just yet - because I will celebrate my birthday with a 50% discount code. People do that, right? By all means, check out the links to learn more, do let me know if you have any questions, and then if you're ready to buy, I'll have a code for you in my next newsletter. Deal? Cool. Better go set that up now; the Squarespace shop backend has been a bit of a pain. More soon! Cheers, PS: Interested in something more tailored to you and your relationship, but not ready for coaching? I'd still love to support you! Here are some resources you might find helpful (links): |

Dear Reader, this is it, next week I'm unlocking level 50! 🥳 Turning 30 was wild and wonderful. My plan for that decade was to "stop playing" and "start taking life seriously." In a word, LOL. 😂 Turning 40 was difficult and depressing. Thank God for cognitive therapy, creativity, and co-working. In a word, Friends. 🍍 Now, about turning 50... Did you see the meme about how what 50 looks like has evolved from The Golden Girls to Jennifer Lopez doing a show? Source unknown to me, but would love...
Dear Reader, I published my “Who Are You At Your Core?” quiz almost five years ago. Since then, it gave over 5,000 people a glimpse into the basics of Dr. Linda Berens' Essential Motivator(TM) model. Proof or it didn't happen - screenshot from my quiz dashboard, May 2025 Many of you signed up for this newsletter on the basis of that quiz - thank you so much for continuing to be interested in Type and Relationship insights! ✨ In case you were wondering, more than half of you probably have an...
Dear Reader, last week I was quiet, because I was fully concentrating on my "Happier, Healthier Relationships with Type" session for the APTi (more on that below), and this week I was almost going to be quiet, because life was life-ing... but I want to get better at sharing whatever comes up, so here we go. As you may have heard, Monday saw a major power outage in mainland Spain, Portugal, and parts of France. I didn't even become aware of it until later in the afternoon. But I soon learned...
