WCME 055: What if I don’t identify with my Passion? (aka False Jewel)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Start with a few deadly sins,
Then add two, just for shits and grins.
Now call it a “passion”
with words out of fashion
And that’s where our story begins.

Cherie asks: “What if you don’t feel your Passion is true for you? I really do not identify with avarice. Does anyone else of any type have this issue? I feel healthy boundaries are important, but don’t feel I’m withholding much of anything.”

Our top 3 suggestions:

1. Check yourself. Perhaps you’re not consciously aware of your False Jewel?
2. Check your type. Are you sure you’ve identified yourself correctly?
3. Learn about your subtype. Some of the subtypes can go for their False Jewels in different ways.
