You are the leading lady of your life. You play yourself in this role, and you’ve been playing her for as long as you can remember. In fact, she was well established by the time you were in grade school, and she is probably running your business right now! It is important that you know all about this leading lady role of yours—your Feminine Type.
Take a look at the brief description below. Which Feminine Type sounds like you the majority of the time?
The Loyal SWEETHEART is the reigning queen of nice, but she doesn’t wear a fancy crown or put on airs. She’s really the girl next door—simple, humble and a little shy. She doesn’t try to impress anyone or be someone she’s not. She has a calm, nonjudgmental presence that allows people to relax and just be themselves. She has an astonishing ability to put her own needs aside and be there for the needs of others.
The Nurturing SAINT is gifted at making people feel comfortable and, of course, nurtured. Her presence alone can be healing. She is the archetypal mother of the Feminine Types. It fills her heart with gladness to help those in need. Give her someone that needs her and she will gladly take them on as her newest project to love, heal and fix.
The Responsible EXCELLENCE GIRL leaps over the mundane matters of everyday life in search of her utopian ideals. She wants to refine herself and the world. Her attention to detail gives her eagle eyes to see what is inefficient, ineffective or unbalanced. She can also see what is exquisite, beautiful and balanced.
Congratulations, you’re a knowledgeable GODDESS GEEK! You’re super smart! Everyone wants your skills and they clamor for your services. They can’t live without you. You are intellectual, logical and analytical. While all women are intelligent in their own way, what sets the GODDESS GEEK apart is her expertise. Her knowledge base is stunning. She is a Google unto herself.
Pink hair one day, a new tattoo the next and then she tells you she is moving to France. The creative MUSE can be a different person every time you see her. If everyone is going left, she goes right. If everyone wears plaid, she wears stripes. She likes being the purple zebra in the room. She is a trendsetter and not a trend follower. Her innovative mind can turn anything from drab to fab.
Certainties are boring for the free-spirited SEEKER. She wants to blaze a new trail. She is not satisfied living by the rule book of others. She wants to go beyond the known to explore the unknown. THE SEEKER is a passionate adventurer and born explorer—seeking is a way of life for her. She is, often, alternative in some way because she takes the road less travelled. THE SEEKER knows how to make her passion pay and her work playbecause she follows her bliss.
The ambitious SUCCESS GIRL doesn’t shrink her dreams to fit reality—she molds reality to fit her dreams. She wants her biggest, boldest and most outrageous dreams, and she is willing to take risks to get them. Her philosophy is that more is always much better. In everything she does, she wants to rise to the top. She dislikes the idea of being ordinary, average or like everyone else. She wants to shine in the spotlight.
The bold DIVA is known for her direct, tell-it-like-it-is attitude and voice. You never know what she is going to say. She follows The Rebel’s Handbook, which says that she can (and should) stir the pot, kick up dirt, and kick some ass if need be. She tells the truth, even if it bothers people. She has diva-tude.

I’m a rebel, a seeker, and I love to be the center of attention…not the center of the Universe, I just like being in the mix. No sidelines or arm chair quarterbacking for me!
Yes, you are a LEADER/ CREATIVE BIZ TYPE with an effervescence that is contagious!
I am a mix between the excellence girl and the seeker. This was a fun way to break down the different personalities and how it affects our businesses. It also exposes what areas we may not be as strong in so we can get assistance from someone. Thanks!
Thanks for your comment C McGee. Yes, It is important to know the strengths and challenges of your feminine type and your biz type and then to discover your shadow. Keep going on your journey of self-discovery and self-mastery!
