Parenting as a Type 1 mom, not feeling “high-energy” enough for Type 1, and fun kinds of exercise!
It’s all here inside this broadcast of Q&A with the Experts!
We know you’ll want to come back to get the A’s to your Q’s again and again—so we time-stamped all the topics to make them easy to find!
- (2:40) I absolutely LOVE the ocean. The look, the feel, the intensity. In the Before & After course, oceans appeared only in Type 1 videos. Does this mean oceans are Type 1 energy?
- (4:48) I’m a Type 1/3, but I don’t feel “high energy.” I’m going through some life-changing muck that is very draining. I’ve noticed some 3/2’s have a similar look to their faces and I worry I mis-Typed myself. Is there any hope of not doubting my Type 1? (Marcy’s answer to this is so Type 1!)
- (8:40) I remember seeing that Marcy acknowledged her Type 1 nature reluctantly—what did that process look like?
- (10:30) Will you tell us about a time when you used your Type 1 energy to add lightness to a situation?
- (15:23) What is your favorite Type 1 exercise?
- (17:40) Do Type 1’s always like to chat with strangers and strike up conversations? I see a lot of Type 1 in my facial features, but I do not like small talk with strangers and tend to be withdrawn in public.
- (21:40) I’m a Type 1 but am not drawn to colors or prints! Is this normal or will it change over time?
- (24:44) I tend to lighten really sad or heavy conversation. It may seem inappropriate, but it’s my coping mechanism. Is that okay?
- (26:00) As a mother, I need to help my children in being organized and accomplishing their responsibilities, but I have a hard time doing these things myself! How can I use my Type 1 nature to help motivate my children? (Stephanie’s tips are perfect!)
- (31:45) Are the Experts dressing in 3×5 outfits today? (They go through each of their outfits and show you the formula in real life!)
- (35:24) I want to live true to my Type, but I keep living in my secondary. I feel like I’m in constant working mode. I can never relax unless I have accomplished something. How do I know who I truly am and live true to my Type 1 nature?
- (39:14) I really enjoyed the video on Type 1 eating. What do you do to enjoy your Type 1 eating habits?
Jaleah, Marcy, and Stephanie loved spending time with the Type 1 community. You ladies are just so great! Enjoy this recording and leave a comment sharing your BIGGEST takeaway!

Fabulous!!
You guys are soooo fun!
I love all you type 1 ladies. So bright, bubbly and fun!
I am a T2/4 but I always love watching you T1 girls in action, and always learn and benefit from your energy! When the question was asked about is it appropriate to joke in serious situations, it made me think of my very dear T1 friend who lost her husband a few years ago….I always marveled at her ability to find things to joke or laugh about, even when I knew her heart was breaking. Sending hugs to you, Marci.
Jaleah, where did you find those jelly shoes? I used to love those when i was a kid and i would love to find a pair now. I used to get a pair every year in my Easter basket :).
Regarding the T1 trait of “what if I’m one of the other types instead of T1”:
I lived as T1/4 for four years, and often had that doubt creeping in. But when I discovered that I was actually T4/1 instead of T1/4, I realized that my soul had been trying to tell me that T1 actually wasn’t my dominant type.
I’m a type 2/1, but I think I might have them inverted. I ordered some tops to try on being a type 1 yesterday and today my throat is hurting. Now i often have sore throats before a cold, but I remember in some video Carol says that the throat chakra is often the weakest in type 1’s. I’m wondering if this is a sign that I’m over riding my type 2 or that my type 1 is painfully coming out? Has anyone experienced anything like this when embracing their true or false nature?
Re: the question about not liking bright colors, I can relate. I am definitely a type 1 but bought a bunch of colors, got home, and felt like an Easter egg! It may have looked “appropriate” for me but I wasn’t comfortable. I used to love black and love putting together outfits that are feminine and elegant yet have a bit of an edge to them… (which I think IS so type 1 btw, my delight in the creative and unexpected and unique in fashion! And the merging of different styles “randomly”). I am now trying to develop my unique type 1 style, which incorporates the color/styling and energy of the wardrobe with some other pieces and styles I love regardless of what type they are. Don’t mean to be a rule breaker, I am new to DYT and LOVE IT so am trying to learn learn learn. But like these lovely experts state, there’s not one way to be type 1.
A couple tips— maybe it’s the line/cut that will make a difference. If I wear bright color or pattern then for me it has to fit quite well. Also, don’t forget our palette also includes navy, dark brown and warm white!
I didn’t see the playlist on Spotify. Is it a public list?
I think out of all the types, there are few type 1’s in my family. I love the feeling I get when I am around them! I can’t help but smile! So grateful for your energy!! 🙂
