During the beginning of the Covid pandemic, I took a free personality assessment and discovered I was an INFJ.

Whether you believe personality tests are perfectly accurate or not, what surprised me wasn’t the result itself—it was seeing many of my seemingly “quirky” habits and ways of thinking described on a page.

For much of my life, I often felt different from those around me. I was constantly analyzing, reflecting, looking for meaning, and trying to understand why people do what they do.

After my spinal cord injury, that curiosity turned inward. It became part of a larger journey of self-discovery.

That journey eventually led me back to graduate school, where I earned my MBA, and later gave me the confidence to return to the workforce after a 15-year hiatus.

The personality assessment didn’t change my life overnight. What it did was help me better understand myself—and sometimes that’s where growth begins. I’d love for people to share which MBTI they are.

One of the more interesting books I’ve recently been introduced to was Quiet by Susan Cain — Read the rest of the post you have a newborn.

One insight that really stood out to me was the idea that some children who are more sensitive to loud noises, stimulation, unfamiliar environments, or outside influences may naturally lean more introverted. Sometimes this can show up early in life through fussiness, crying more easily, becoming overstimulated quickly, or feeling agitated in louder environments.

Meanwhile, children who are more energized by stimulation, noise, activity, and constant interaction may naturally lean more extroverted and socially expressive.

What I appreciated most about the book is that it reframes these traits not as weaknesses, but simply different ways people are wired to experience and respond to the world around them.

Not every quiet or sensitive child lacks confidence.Sometimes they are simply more observant, reflective, emotionally attuned, and deeply thoughtful.

A good reminder that people process the world differently — and there is value in both.

One thing I never fully anticipated was just how difficult the transition would be returning to work after nearly 15 years away following my spinal cord injury.

As I approach the 90-day mark in my new role, I’ve come to realize this will be my greatest challenge yet —There’s excitement, gratitude, uncertainty, and a constant process of adjusting to a new reality.

For a long time, so much of life centered around recovery, rehabilitation, and simply adapting. Stepping back into the professional world again has required me to rediscover confidence, structure, identity, and purpose in an entirely different way.

Nevertheless, I’m incredibly grateful for my new teammates and a boss who’ve supported me throughout this journey, and I look forward to continuing to grow — one day at a time.

Your odds of getting your health care provider to lower your bill are higher if you act fast, communicate clearly and do your research before the negotiation.
