95. Bossy, Controlling, Overthinking… Oh My! – Healing the Hustle Jun 23, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back everybody to the Healing the Hustle series on the Front Seat Life podcast. Today is yet another doozy. I was just going to name this episode “overthinking,” but then I realized it’s not that for us, for “J” women, for us controlling, domineering, bossy, overthinking women. Hence the name of this episode.
This is a fun project because I get to be very observant. I am an extremely observant person. It’s one of my favorite things to do. It’s just sit and people watch. And it’s absolutely why I love being a therapist.
And with this episode I’m sharing some observations, some stories about overthinking and trying to control the moment or the experience. I’ve been going through some big changes with my move to Maui and have caught myself trying to control things that are outside of my control, and noticing times when I could overthink things. Hopefully you can relate to these, I have a feeling these might resonate with many of you.
I am enjoying putting these episodes together for you! And I would love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out to me via email and of course would love a review on iTunes and don’t forget to subscribe and follow for future episodes.

94. Dating Myself: Healing the Hustle Jun 13, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back everybody. I am very excited about this episode. I’ll be honest, I’m a tiny bit nervous about this because I’m going to be sharing some really, really, vulnerable stuff. And as I promised, I would super duper, duper keep it real. So here we go….
I wanted to remind you again, I feel like I almost need to do this every episode, the reminder of the whole entire concept of healing the hustle is to cut out things outside of ourselves that are creating chaos. The “hustle journey” I’m sharing is that I want to be talking with you, not at you.
To me is just simple, but it’s this new mindset of intentionally dating myself. Sitting in my own company, I am intentionally taking myself out on a gorgeous date. I am intentionally putting on a beautiful dress and putting on some makeup and getting myself cute. And I am going to heal, to repair this hole in the bottom of my bucket, because nothing outside of myself, no other person, no other man, no friend, nothing outside is going to heal me but myself so that I can be absolutely the most, whole version of myself.
I am beyond excited to be back! And I would love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out to me via email and of course would love a review on iTunes and don’t forget to subscribe and follow for future episodes.

93. Entrepreneurial Trauma Response: Healing the Hustle Jun 06, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back and thank you so much for being here! It has been many months since I have been able to produce any new content and the return of the podcast today addresses why. Many of you have likely been feeling the same.
As many of you may know I have been trying to finish my third book, Healing the Hustle, for a little of a year now, it is about 70% done, yet it has stalled since I moved to Maui 2 1/2 months ago and I finally realized why….
It is because the journey/story is really just now unfolding! I am in the middle of it!!!!!
So, I have decided to share with you all via my podcast in the most vulnerable, authentic and genuine way possible and talk with you, not at you as I go on this crazy journey of Healing my own Hustle.
In this first episode back, I address:
– The toxic coaching culture,
– My reptilian brain response AKA Trauma Response (and explain yours as well) based on your personality type,
– Why I am coming back to share this crazy journey…
…and much more to hopefully inspire you to look at some of your own Hustle behavior and what to do about it.
I am beyond excited to be back!!!! And I can’t wait to start a dialogue with you about your experiences as well. I would love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out to me via email and of course would love a review on iTunes and don’t forget to subscribe and follow for future episodes.

92: FS16 – ESFJ with Katie Christiansen Oct 18, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to the Front Seat Life podcast, and our new series the Front Seat 16! I am your host Jessica Butts, and today’s episode is all about the ESFJ. I just got done recording the episode with Katie Christiansen and we are doing this episode right after the Sarah Dean episode, which is perfect because Katie is actually a Sara’s assistant and we talk so much about how she is the ideal integrator to the ENFJ visionary.
And the episode is so packed, full of absolutely amazing information. We did her family type. We talked about the integrator and the visionary, and expectations and how they become a martyr. It is an incredible, incredible episode. It might be my favorite of the series so far.
Overall ESFJ’s are the Caregiver. They are generous and giving and organized and detailed, their archetype is the Police. They are the support staff, if you will. They have no desire to be the upfront person. Their Drunk Uncle is actually the Intuitive. So that kind of big picture and entrepreneurial and starting their own business is absolutely their backseat. Katie, and most ESFJ’s absolutely love being the Caretaker.
They love that role in their family and their life. And they are absolutely the perfect, perfect assistant and integrator for the visionary. I really hope you enjoy this episode. And I loved it and I think you will too!
Much love, Jessica

91: FS16 – ENFJ with Sara Dean Oct 11, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to the Front Seat 16, our new series from the Front Seat Life podcast! I am your host Jessica Butts, and today Sara Dean joins me for probably my favorite episode of the series to talk about ENFJ! Why’s it my favorite? Because it’s my type too, haha! Sara is a dear friend, a podcasting genius, and the creator and host of The Shameless Mom Podcast.
Overall ENFJs are extroverted, intuitive, feeling and judging which means they give their best selves to other people. They are big picture thinkers. They think outside the box, they’re always thinking about what’s next. It makes them great entrepreneurs. They are feelers, meaning they make decisions with their hearts and they are Js, which means they’re normally pretty obsessive, highly organized, like to be on time, they are planners, and futuristic.
And they pretty much have the horse blinders on, like, “Get out of my way, don’t distract me, this is where I’m going.” The ENFJs and the ENFPs are interesting because they’re very similar, but their front seats are different.
An ENFJ is out in the world, giving, sharing, connecting in life and in business, right? We normally have a lot of friends. We have a lot of activities going on. People might think we’re very social and, and extroverted and outgoing, which is true. But not the other half of us, the other 50% of us is inside in our hearts.
In our mind, being intuitive, walking in silence, thinking in silence, journaling, having a morning practice, getting away by ourselves, taking solo trips, a weekend retreats by ourself, all a whole bunch of alone. And that my friends is where ENFJs get their ideas.
Listen in to this episode to learn all about ENFJs, I’m sure you know some! Sara and I share some great stories and examples of life interactions where our type resonate, and where it clashes. I hope you enjoy today’s episode. You are going to love this wonderful conversation!
Much love, Jessica

90: FS16 – ENFP with Gina and Rae Oct 05, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to the Front Seat 16, our new series from the Front Seat Life podcast! I am your host Jessica Butts, and today Gina and Rae join me as our ENFPs! Gina and I went to graduate school together and we both decided to transition from therapy to coaching because of the constrictions placed upon us, they just didn’t jive with our types. These two have learned that living and being in a relationship with someone who is the same type can have some amazing benefits. There are still a few challenges, but Gina and Rae seem to have figured out how to love and thrive with each other.
ENFP is probably my favorite type, and for years I wanted to be an ENFP and I would take the assessment over and over again. And I would come out in ENFP, which is gotta be hilarious to everybody who knows me, because I’m a super “J”, I’m very controlling, very organized, very long-term vision.
But I love ENFPs and so I would skew it to be what I thought I wanted to be because they are very raw, very loving, and open, and compassionate. They’re kind of named the “cheerleader.” They are enthusiastic. They have a lot of charisma. People love them. They are very fly by the seat of their pants, and go with the flow.
I feel like they’ve just got life figured out, but they just are so just spontaneous and enjoyable to be around. You want to be around them. They’re those kinds of people because they have this really beautiful energy. They are giving their best selves to other people.
They are great visionaries of the business. Absolutely horrible integrators. It is probably the worst part of them is getting shit done. They are absolutely not good integrators.
They are the visionaries, the Walt Disney’s of the world. They are the people who are thinking outside the box and then they must, must, must have somebody, a right-hand person to help them get all of those ideas done. Otherwise I’m very, honestly, they will never get them. They will never get them done if they do not have somebody to help them implement all of their ideas.
I hope you enjoy today’s episode. Gina and Rae are just a gift to the universe as individuals, but especially as a couple.
They are really open about their life and how wonderful it is and the things that as a couple, they struggle with, like not getting things done. You gotta listen to this wonderful conversation!
Cheers, Jessica

89: FS16 – ESTJ with Karen Rosenzweig Sep 27, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to the Front Seat 16, our new series from the Front Seat Life podcast! I am your host Jessica Butts, and today Karen Rosenzweig joins me as my official ESTJ. Karen is one of my favorite people ever. She is a total go-getter, and an incredibly awesome human being. But before we get started in all of these episodes of all of the 16 types, I want to go over five main things, which is more the Front Seat Life methodology before we jump into our guests.
So those five things are who an ESTJ is overall, their Front Seat, their backseat, their archetype (my made up intellectual property), and then a really great career for each type.
Meyers-Briggs calls an ESTJ “The Guardian.” I would lovingly possibly call them “The Controllers” because ESTJs are extroverted, sensing, thinking and judging, which means they’re extroverted out in the world and they are very logical detail oriented. They make decisions with their head and they’re very organized, structured on time. They like things a certain way. They don’t have a lot of emotional regulation, they’re not super into emotions.
I break all of this down before we hop into my conversation with Karen who has been an entrepreneur for 15 years and runs One Smart Cookie Marketing. Her type is my Mom’s type, so I know her type extremely well! Karen is kind enough to open up about her challenges and how she also excels because her type. And we also dive into how she and her wife, who is the exact opposite type, connect and manage to accept each other for who they are.
It’s another wonderful and beautiful conversation where we get to unpack a lot and I’m sure many of you will be able to relate on many levels. I hope this is helpful and interesting to you. Please listen to this fantastic episode with Karen Rosensweig.
And stay tuned for more powerful episodes in this series, I’m so excited to bring it to you!
Much love, Jessica

88: FS16 – ENTJ with Courtney Anderson Sep 20, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to the Front Seat 16, our new series from the Front Seat Life podcast! I am your host Jessica Butts, and today we’ve got Courtney Anderson as my official ENTJ. It was a very simple choice for me when I was starting all of the Front Seat 16 interviews, it was very obvious to me that Courtney would be my ENTJ. Courtney is a former client and I would consider her a friend now, one who is super wicked smart.
As an ENTJ Courtney is sassy and says what’s on her mind. I think we’re probably like sisters from another mother, we’re super similar, and she has been an amazing student. She’s now a coach herself and she’s got a thriving business.
True to form, Counrtney breaks out her sassy side and tells us how life is when you are A Thinking Woman. She starts with some amazing stories when she was just eight years old and had a realization she wasn’t quite like everyone else, and didn’t care. The stories continue and she reveals some incredible tales I had never heard before. Truly mind-blowing, but on point for an ENTJ.
We unpack so many powerful concepts in this conversation, and if you are feeling like you are living an incongruent life right now, this may resonate. It may be a huge eye-opener and I encourage everyone to listen in, it’s a good one.
I certainly feel that there are people who will listen to this episode, and you may be one of them, maybe you hear yourself in Courtney. And that is validating. It is normalizing. And it’s so good for you to know that you’re not alone. You’re unique and that’s perfectly okay.
And stay tuned for more powerful episodes in this series, I’m so excited to bring it to you!
Much love, Jessica

87: FS16 – Are You Suppressing Your Type? Sep 13, 2021

Show notes

Hello! And welcome back to the Front Seat Life podcast and our new series, the Front Seat 16! I am your host Jessica Butts, and I am here to help you be unapologetically, who you are in your life, love and business, by understanding and embracing your innate personality type.
Most of you know, I am all about NOT doing stuff that you suck at and absolutely leaning into your Front Seat.
And that is what we’re going to be talking about in this podcast. For those of you who don’t know me, CEO and creator of Front Seat Life. I am a Myers-Briggs expert. I’m a life and business coach for intuitive women, author, keynote speaker, obviously a podcaster, and a former couples therapist and psychotherapist.
I’m an ENFJ, truth-teller, F-bomb dropper, and lover of all things. And fiercely dedicated to helping you be unapologetically who you are.
I am so excited to take you on this new series called Front Seat 16! And that means we are going to do a deep dive into all 16 Myers-Briggs types, as well as the Front Seat methodology behind every single one of the types. So it’ll be a 16 week series. I have guests every single week coming on, talking to you about some of their front seat, some of their backseat (that is what they’re terrible at) and everything in between.
To kick of the series I am chatting with the wonderful Rachel Belle. We dive deep into her type and break it all down. It’s a great conversation with a lot of “a-ha” moments which I’m sure you can get something from, be sure and listen to this one!
And stay tuned for more episodes in this series, I’m so excited to bring it to you!
Much love, Jessica

86: HTH – 10-Year Anniversary Lessons Jun 03, 2021

Show notes

Wooooooooo, it has been quite a ride the past 10 years since graduating Graduate School in June of 2011!
In today’s podcast I share 6 1/2 lessons (I had 6 but of course had another little one that popped into my head while riffing) I have learned in the last 10 years of entrepreneurship.
1) Simple is better…more is NOT better. Do one thing super awesome.
2) Know your type and do it YOUR way!
3) Don’t try to keep up with the entrepreneurial Jones!
4) PROFIT FIRST! It is YOUR money…keep more of it!
4.5) Have multiple streams of revenue.
5) Reassess at LEAST once a year. There are no mistakes, only information! Do only what you love doing!
6) Take breaks! Lots of them. And learn how to compartmentalize!
The season is over so I am taking a break from the podcast until September but I cannot wait to be back with you then for a VERY special and exciting series….The Front Seat 16!
Make sure to get on my list and/or follow me on Instagram (@frontseatlife) over the summer for much more Healing the Hustle content.
Much love, Jessica
