  • Love & The Sequencer Function
    Mar 13 2025

    In this episode of Now I Get It, I explore the cognitive function known as the Sequencer and its role in love and relationships. The sequencer helps individuals organize tasks, plan efficiently, and structure their interactions with others.I explain how those who rely on this function express love primarily through acts of service, ensuring that tasks are completed in a timely and thoughtful manner. However, there is s a crucial distinction: acts of service must be personal and intentional, not just outsourced or mechanically performed, in order to convey genuine care and appreciation.


    There are different ways people embody the sequencer function, distinguishing between those who use it as a dominant function—naturally prioritizing tasks and logistics—and those who engage with it in a more reflective, questioning manner. And, body language and movement styles can reveal one's cognitive tendencies and how individuals can awaken and develop this function in their own lives. Finally, I introduce practical exercise designed to foster gratitude for the sequencer function, helping listeners improve their ability to plan and organize while deepening their understanding of love.


    In This Episode, You Will Learn:

    • (00:19) What the sequencer function is and how it works
    • (02:00) How the sequencer helps structure thoughts and tasks in relationships
    • (02:45) Why acts of service are an expression of love for sequencers
    • (03:30) The importance of personal acts of service in showing love
    • (05:10) How different cognitive types engage with the sequencer function
    • (06:00) The role of body language and movement in cognitive styles

    Mar 6 2025

    In this episode, I dive deep into the intricate relationship between cognitive functions and love—focusing specifically on the analyst function. I share how our unique ways of processing the world can lead us to express and perceive love in vastly different manners. By understanding these distinct cognitive wavelengths, I explain how we can bridge the gap between our own expressions of love and what our partners truly need to feel connected.


    I also explore the specific needs of analysts in relationships. I reveal that for those who lean on their analytic capacities, quality time isn’t just about physical presence—it’s about engaging in thoughtful conversations that explore ideas and inner thoughts. Along with sharing personal insights, I offer practical strategies, including meditation and self-awareness techniques, to help nurture and strengthen our cognitive functions, ultimately fostering deeper and more meaningful interpersonal connections.


    In This Episode You Will Learn:

    • (02:54) How understanding cognitive functions can transform the way we express and receive love
    • (02:10) Why matching our love expressions to different cognitive wavelengths is crucial for connection

  • Unlocking the Guardian: How Memory and Insight Shape Our Lives and Relationships
    Feb 20 2025

    In this episode of Now I Get It, I dive deep into the cognitive function I call the Guardian. I explain how this function goes beyond simple memory recall—it’s a dynamic process that compares our present experiences with past memories to generate vital insights. I share how the Guardian ensures that things go right by noticing deviations from our established routines, whether it’s adjusting a recipe or navigating the complexities of personal relationships. This function, much like a trusted keeper of our memories, is essential for maintaining balance and security in our lives.


    I also explore how the Guardian impacts our interpersonal relationships and personal growth. By emphasizing the importance of traditions, social structures, and the subtle art of non-verbal communication (like distinctive hand gestures), I reveal how our need to feel remembered and valued can influence our interactions. I discuss practical strategies such as mindful meditation to better engage this cognitive function, thereby enhancing decision-making and enriching our relationships. Join me as I uncover how harnessing the power of memory can lead to more thoughtful, secure, and fulfilling experiences.


    In This Episode You Will Learn:

    • 00:00 – How I introduce the episode and set the stage for exploring the Guardian function.
    • 00:19 – What the Guardian cognitive function is, and how it uses memory to generate insight by comparing present experiences with the past.
    • 02:44 – The characteristic physical expressions (like specific hand gestures) that signal a strong Guardian presence and its role in organizing our actions.
    • 05:11 – The impact of the Guardian on relationships, emphasizing the importance of feeling remembered, honored, and valued.
    • 07:40 – Practical techniques to engage the Guardian, including meditation and mindful remembrance, to enhance personal growth and decision-making.
