Beautiful boundaries, secondary shortcuts, and becoming a stunning gardener. 😉
There’s a lot of great advice – and a little spunk – in this broadcast of Q&A with the Experts! You’re invited to join Kalista, Deborah, and Liz as they answer all of your questions. This time, we decided to timestamp each topic so you can return to this post and easily find what you need.
- (0:20) I have difficulty accepting the concept of affirmations. While I recognize their value, I can’t bring myself to speak things as true which are presently false. How can I repackage the idea of affirmations so that I can use them with confidence in my life?
- (4:35) If dressing Type 4 leaves you feeling energetically heavy and sad, does this mean you’re not a Type 4, or could it be a case of not incorporating your secondary enough?
- (8:13) I have a 17-year-old Type 4 daughter and she’s having trouble finding teenager-y Type 4 clothes that aren’t too mature. Where can we find clothes in Type 4 hues?
- (11:17) Does your secondary influence how black eyeliner would look on you? I’m a Type 4 but am struggling with the way black eyeliner looks on me.
- (15:10) I’ve really enjoyed some of the Before & Afters that talk about maintaining religious preferences while still honoring the Energy Type. I’m struggling to find balance with Type 4 style (which I LOVE) and maintaining standards of modesty. I want to be bold, fitted, daring, and hack off all my hair! But I’m afraid it will not be well-received culturally. Do you have advice on what feels like trying to live boldly and true to my nature while in a box?
- (19:12) How do each of you approach clothing or jewelry that isn’t “perfect”—for example, gold zippers?
- (21:27) Any advice for being more friendly/vulnerable with other people, especially in new groups and situations? I went to a great conference last week but had a hard time initiating conversations with people.
- (27:38) Any tips for a Type 4 who’s obsessed with getting it perfect when getting ready (clothes, makeup, etc). I find myself getting overwhelmed sometimes!
- (31:40) How do you recommend incorporating the 3×5 formula when the weather gets warmer?
- (35:35) Can you explain the difference between Type 4 “seeing the big picture” and the Type 2 mental flow of seeing the past, present, and future?
- (38:53) I would love to hear more about which Type 4 patterns fit with the different secondaries!

I’m so happy to be a 4/1 so I can cover myself in polka dots!!! 🙂
I know, right!
I lived as Type 1/4 for four years, before discovering I’m actually Type 4/1. I love everything about dressing T4, except for the black. Black garments just make me feel heavy or overly formal. I’ve done the Type 4 clearing a few times, but I still don’t like wearing black. Maybe it’s because I lived as T1/4 for so long, or maybe it’s because my secondary Type 1 needs more lightness. I do recall Carol saying T4/1 is a lighter version of T4 – so perhaps when it comes to color, T4/1 is more comfortable with less darkness.
I know there was a Type 2 video with various secondaries where each person said they were drawn to a segment of T2 colors in line with the secondary: lighter colors for S1, darker for S3, and more contrast between colors for the S4 (perhaps another S4 would be drawn to the more saturated tones of T2 colors as there is some variation). I haven’t seen anything mentioned like that in T1 or T4 videos (I don’t watch T3 often).
Tora, thanks so much for your helpful reply!
You’re welcome! Here’s the video https://my.liveyourtruth.com/dyt/type-2-night-all-about-secondary-energy-types/
Michelle says she was “always drawn to the darker colors” at 29:16 so Anne talks about this secondary preference a bit. And they bring it up again around 49:30.
Thank you, T4 ladies! I am a T2/4, and always enjoy and benefit from your sharing and insights! And love admiring how stunning you all look! Interesting to me to notice that, similar to Liz, I am also less drawn to patterns than to solid colours or very blended patterns. Must be the lower movement! I LOVE pattern on other people, but not on myself….just doesn’t feel right. Always something to learn, or more insight to gain!
So glad to hear that! Thank you for watching.
Kalista, Deborah, and Liz, thank y’all for this informative, affirming, and encouraging video. So much beneficial information shared in this video. Thankful for Live Your Truth. Thankful and look forward next week to first opportunity to experience and learn from the Money Quiz. SBW (T4/S2)
You’re welcome Sharon! Glad it was beneficial for you.
It is so good to see experts showing each secondary type! I can really see how Kalista is more bouncy and jumping from subject to subject. Liz is more comfy and relaxed. Deborah is more intense and dynamic.
The pattern I really like is damask. It’s not really a pattern, but a raised, woven design which is all the same colour. I’ve got some black damask trousers and I adore them!
Where do I find the videos about determining our secondary energy and how to incorporate it with our primary? I’m definitely a Type 4 primary, and I’m 90% certain I’m a Type 1 secondary, but I don’t know where to find videos or quizzes to make sure that’s my secondary or how to understand and incorporate that secondary energy. Thanks for your help!
