This week, we’re talking about the core emotion of fear that all three Head Center Types (5,6,7) share. While all three types share a desire for safety and certainty, they navigate it in very different ways—through knowledge and preparation (5), seeking guidance and security (6), or focusing on possibilities and staying positive (7).

Whether you identify with one of these types or have a Head type in your life, we hope this conversation brings greater understanding, compassion, and opportunities for growth. Keep shining your light, friends.
