INFJ Entrepreneurs | Getting Started, Challenges & Meaningful Work with Joyce Meng

What happens when an INFJ builds a business in a world that doesn’t quite understand them?

In this deeply resonant conversation, I sit down with Joyce Meng — INFJ, psychology PhD candidate, YouTuber, and coach — to explore what it really means to be an INFJ entrepreneur navigating visibility, self-expression, cultural pressure, and the inner world that never turns off.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt:

Too deep for surface-level conversations
Misunderstood by family or culture when choosing an unconventional path
Pulled to help, guide, and attune to others — sometimes at the cost of yourself
Torn between perfectionism and the desire to finally take action
Like a “one-sided mirror” in relationships and business
In this conversation, we explore:

-Why INFJs naturally weave psychology into business, coaching, and leadership
-Overcoming perfectionism, inaction, and fear of visibility as an INFJ
-Building a business without early validation or family support
-Cultural pressure, “trophy child” expectations, and being a closeted entrepreneur
-Why INFJs create emotional safety — often without trying
-The gift (and cost) of mapping other people’s minds
-How to state your needs without guilt — and what happens when others can’t meet you there
-Myers-Briggs as a tool for compassion, not self-fixing
-Nervous system regulation, healing, and the INFJ’s role as the “wounded healer”
-Why meaning, connection, and inner alignment matter more than strategy alone
This is not a surface-level MBTI conversation.
It’s about agency, courage, self-expression, and building a life that feels true — especially when the world doesn’t hand you a clear roadmap.

If you’re an INFJ entrepreneur, coach, creative, or deep thinker who’s tired of watering yourself down, this conversation will feel like being seen.
