Leading Luminary
aka The Inspirational Thought Leader
There is a deep internal desire to take all of what
you have learned and help others along their path.
Overview:
Your heart is huge and your mission is massive. You are on a path of great influence by sharing your true self with the world. You feel called on a soul level to share your experiences with others. You want to help people by showing them new possibilities and solutions for old tired problems. You yourself have overcome immense challenges in life and have learned the lessons needed to grow and advance. Now there is a deep internal desire to take all of what you have learned and help others along their path. You are a teacher, a leader, a luminary light worker. You are a thought leader. Rise up, shine bright and lead by example.
You want to:
Help people with your skills, knowledge, talent and experience. Your life is about personal mastery and optimal growth. You want to learn as much as you can so you can transform and help others. You love learning and growing. Advancing yourself spiritually, mentally and physically is what gets you up in the morning. You are on a path of great awakening and enlightenment. You are destined for ultimate expansion. The more you know your true self, the more fulfilling life can be.
You Are happiest when:
You are growing and learning and helping others. You’re a natural born leader with your sheer ability to transform challenges into soul-filled solutions. You help others by just being you, as you lead by example. You are happiest when you make a difference in others’ lives and see firsthand the transformation and breakthrough possible.
Your sweet spot:
Your sweet spot is in a position of leadership, but unlike some people in power, you do not lead from a pedestal or stage talking out at your audience (although you make an excellent public speaker, hello TedX talk, yes please), for your leadership style is more about community and possibilities. You want togetherness and community. You are holding hands with your students and among them—you are one with them. You remind people what is possible when you choose love over fear. You show them a way forward with your natural ability to inspire, uplift and gently guide others; they feel part of your circle and community. This is your sweet spot, your ability to take life’s challenges and create magnificent masterpieces from all of the mini moments, and in turn uplifting and inspiring those around you.
The challenge:
Your inner drive to reach more people and share your message is a driving force in your life. You may feel overburdened by your immense compassion and desire to help others. Sometimes it can be hard to have such a large heart, for not everyone wants your support and help. You have an empathic nature and are compassionate to others. It is hard for you to see injustice, pain and so much hate and fear in the world. You want to take people’s pain away, and it can be difficult to balance your need to uplift and inspire with those who are not ready to grow. Your biggest opportunity is to balance your focus on wanting to help people with your drive to help yourself.
Questions to ask:
- What do I need to learn in order to grow through this experience?
- How can I make a bigger impact and share my message with more people?
- How can I be of greater service and help humanity ease their inner burdens?

Miracle Maven
aka The Super Supporter
You crave connection and know that you can make a profound
difference in the world by helping others, because
in your heart you know we all need each other.
Overview:
Your top strength is giving others strength. You thrive as the helper. No task is too small for you. When it comes to running the world and having a successful empire, you know it is the people behind the scenes making the biggest impact. For you it isn’t about being well known and seen so much as it is about being of service and helping as much as you can. You crave connection and know that you can make a profound difference in the world by helping others, because in your heart you know we all need each other.
You care deeply about the planet, animals and the community. You want to make the world a better place and you do this one hug, one conversation, one small task at a time. Helping others gives you life. You feel fulfilled because you can see the outcome of your help. When others succeed, you feel you have too.
You want to:
Help take away the world’s pain and support those you care about. You believe in peace on earth and work each day to make your world more peaceful and purpose driven. Supporting others and giving of your time, money and energy is your life force. You are most fulfilled when you are supporting others, which makes you a miracle worker. You have the ability to understand others and an innate ability to perceive the underlying motivations of others’ actions, intentions and true desires. This makes you an excellent team player and a go-to person for consultations, advice and support.
You Are happiest when:
You are working with others and are part of something greater than yourself. You love working on projects, organizing, supporting and communicating with others. You have a deep drive to connect people and your empathic compassionate approach helps you see the good in all situations. You are a great teacher to those who need to learn compassion and kindness.
Your sweet spot:
Being the go to for people is where you shine. You love balancing people’s needs and dreams with organizing and tackling a plan of action. You can take ideas and turn them into reality. You are the go to for your friends, family and coworkers because of your loyalty, understanding and kind nature. Talk bad about anyone ever? You, never. You understand how important kindness and love are, and you exude this in your actions, words and daily tasks. Your love is needed in this world. Keep being you. Your heart is huge. Your love for others is immense—now give that same love to yourself.
The challenge:
Sometimes you can overgive. You may not have enough time, money and energy for your own needs. Heck, you may not even know what your own desires are because you’ve been so focused on others. Now is the time to take all that loving support you give so freely to others and give it to the most important person on the planet, you. You deserve and need your own self-love and care too.
Questions to ask:
- How can you show up for yourself and go after your own desires?
- How can you stop doubting yourself and feel more worthy?
- How can you practice more self-love and compassion?

Conscious Creator
aka The Awesome Alchemist
You are a natural-born creator. Bringing the raw, unnoticed, beautiful presence of reality to life is what you do best.
Overview:
Your special gift resides in how you perceive the world and the stories you tell with your creative vision (through writing, poetry, photos, songs, art, jewelry, etc.). You have a natural way of tapping into and capturing the accents of humanity. You are a natural-born creator. Bringing the raw, unnoticed, beautiful presence of reality to life is what you do best. You may feel like the crazy one in your family. Maybe you’ve even been called a misfit. There is no doubt that you see things differently—because you are here to change things and push the human race forward, and you do this best through your creative outputs. Whether it is writing books, blogs or songs, painting or making crafts, you are the creative soul. Your imagination is your superpower and your intuitive prowl is your guide. You’re an artist, a visionary, a mastermind, someone who paves the way forward with a power in your pulse for culture, relevancy and purpose. Just like the famous Apple commercial says, “The people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do.” For you, the world is your canvas and you are the center of it all as you are the one to create the masterpiece.
You want to:
Make the world a better place with your art (books, creations, photos, etc.). You see things in a different way and this gift helps people feel seen and heard. When you aren’t writing or creating, you feel like part of you is missing. You don’t need permission to be who you really are. Start creating now.
You Are happiest when:
You are expressing yourself creatively. Have you always wanted to write that book, start that Instagram photo page, sell your handcrafted creations? What’s stopping you? Take this as another sign that you are born to write, create, share your love through your art. Maybe you love making jewelry or painting? Whether it be writing books or songs, making clothes, jewelry or art, you were born to create beautiful things that can change the world. And the world needs you to make the things that are in your heart.
Your sweet spot:
Connection and community is your outcome. But the creative process is your sweet spot. With your words, perspective, imagination and joy in each moment, you know it is much bigger than you. When people experience your creative projects, you build connection and give them a voice and reason to be.
The challenge:
As much as you love to create, you often wonder how it can be sustainable. How many times have you asked yourself, Can I truly make money doing what I love? While the thought of making a fabulous living from your passion excites you, it also fills you with dread. Most days it may seem like a far-off pipe dream, but you know it’s possible because you see others do it. You may wonder how and when it will happen for you, and will anyone really ever like what you create?
Questions to ask:
- What does my ideal life look and feel like?
- How can I show more of the real me and express myself creatively?
- What idea keeps coming to me that can be explored more?

EXPLORER EXPERIENCER
aka The Joy Seeker
Your adventurous soul is willing to suspend fear
and move forward ruthlessly toward your goals.
Overview:
You are here to experience life and explore all facets of the world and yourself. You love to try new things and get bored rather easily. You identify with rebels and have been called a troublemaker. You often feel like a round peg in a square hole. You see things differently—you’re not fond of rules, and you have no respect for the status quo. You are often misunderstood, and wonder why so many people stay along the straight and narrow path, but the expected path and traditional norm feels like suffocation to you. You need to explore and follow your heart. Whether that be changing jobs, relationships or moving four times in two years. When the inspiration strikes, you get packing.
You don’t like taking things too seriously but you are serious about living a big, bold life. There are a lot of things to do, people to see and experiences to be had, and your mission is to do it all. You are in the true sense of the word an explorer at heart. You were born to live outside your comfort zone and this world is your oyster. You are the pearl.
You want to:
Inspire people to see the bright side of things. Sure, we live in a world that can feel harsh at times, but you tend to look for the silver lining. You know there is more than meets the eye and you love digging into all corners, nooks and crannies of life. You thrive on newness, whether that be new information, new places to go, or new experiences. You must keep moving forward. You tend to reject mainstream messaging and prefer to forge your own path. You can’t stand being told what to do. Authority and control are your nemeses. You are your own sovereign being, and freedom is your most important need.
You Are happiest when:
You are on the go and experiencing something new. Among all your friends, you are the one most likely to follow your heart and go where the wind blows you. It may seem crazy to others, but to you it is sanity. You may have a lot of different jobs or find yourself bouncing from place to place. Others may see you as flighty or unstable, but you see it as peace and freedom. What some call drifters, hippies or gypsies, you call soul sisters and misters. You are here to maximize your time on earth because you know it is precious. Because of this, you have a lot of experience in multiple different things, which makes you wise and industrious. You know you can’t make a difference in life and be true to yourself while sitting under fluorescent lights typing your years away. So against the mainstream, you proudly forge forward.
Your sweet spot:
Your commitment and willingness to step outside of your comfort zone is a strength that few possess. Your adventurous soul is willing to suspend fear and move forward ruthlessly toward your goals. You have a knack for knowing what feels right. Your intuition is your stellar super power. You do what you want even if it goes against the grain. You don’t care too much about what others think of you because you know everyone is on their own path, and your path is pretty spectacular. No dream is too small for you, traveling the world full-time, writing the memoir book of your past experience, starting your own company from your passion, getting married barefoot in Hawaii—it’s all up for grabs. You go where the inspiration strikes. And there is no lull in ideas. You are loaded.
The challenge:
It can be hard to stand still. When you do, you feel as if you are in quicksand. You need movement in your life to feel productive but this present moment has an opportunity for you to be open for more balance. Instead of all or nothing, consider a more focused plan. You struggle sometimes with balance and trusting your path but you have what it takes to transform your outcome and learn from all your past experiences.
Questions to ask:
- How can I have more stability and still do what I love/ live my dreams?
- How can I earn more money to afford the freedom to live more fully?
- What is in alignment with who I really am?

Purpose-Driven Passionista
aka The Influencer with Mass Appeal
You are determined to make the world a better place from your presence. And you tend to do this with great ease and sophistication.
Overview:
Have you heard the saying by Norman Vincent Peale, “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars”? Well baby, you are among the stars because you are destined to be a star. It runs through your veins. The sky isn’t even the limit for you. You have big dreams and an even bigger vision for your life.
You want to:
Make your stamp and live large. Fame, fortune, massive public appeal. It is all possible for you. You are determined to make the world a better place from your presence. And you tend to do this with great ease and sophistication. You have lots of natural skills and talents, and from a young age, you’ve had an inner drive to light people up, to move them and inspire them. You know how to entertain people. Whether it was dancing to your favorite pop tunes on your makeshift stage, holding a wooden spoon as your microphone, or looking in the mirror practicing your Oscar and Grammy acceptance speeches, you’ve known you are destined for the spotlight.
Whether you want to grow your social media following to prime time influencer status and make mega bucks from brand collaboration, or rub elbows with A-listers who support your work and share your talent with their audiences . . . Big, bold and beautiful is your approach to life. Being on Oprah and Ellen is just the start—you want your own talk show and Netflix special. You dream of soldout arena tours, and you want millions of loyal viewers/followers tuning in to your every move. For you it isn’t a question of if it is possible—it is a question of when it will happen.
You Are happiest when:
You are on stage, and all eyes are on you. It’s not just about you (although you do love being the center of attention)—it’s about your audience. You love the way you can make people feel by just performing and using your talent and skills. For a moment in time, you can help them escape their life with your abilities. You have the super power of making people feel. You believe one of the greatest gifts you can give someone is a moment of reprieve, and with your abilities, you do this effortlessly.
Your sweet spot:
You see the vision. You have crystal-clear clarity on what you want. Most people struggle with trying to figure out their ideal life, but not you, you know what you want. You just don’t know how to get it.
The challenge:
The holdup is the lack of knowledge and clarity on what right action to take to get you to your big vision. You wonder . . . what is the best plan for follow-through?
This breathtaking vision for your life is all well and good, but you struggle sometimes with putting the vision into action. The problem is, you don’t know what steps to take to get to where you want to go. You may feel stuck, off track or drowning in comparison. When was the last time you thought, How do people make it look so easy? How are they making money online and with their social channels? How did that person I follow get 1,000 new followers overnight? If you struggle with the how, recognize it is in the now. By taking this quiz, you are already a step closer to knowing more of your true self. Each step you take will guide you along your journey, so stay close to the things that inspire you and resources that can help you grow.
Questions to ask:
- How can you brand yourself to grow more rapidly?
- What is your heart calling you to do?
- How can you use your public personality to influence more good?
