Became interested and intrigued in this system through Diane in Denmark. Her transformation has been so inspirational 💗

I had an epiphany today! At 55 years, I finally realized why I shouldn't worry anymore about being "more poised" or "more refined and graceful." Because I'm a Number 1 energy type -- animated!!! Never again will I worry that I should be anything other than what I am. Thank you so much!

Hi Carol, Learning about facial profiling is helping me learn to draw portraits. Who knew? Learning to really look at faces in this way has helped train my eye when drawing features. I’ve been struggling with this for years. What an unexpected area of self-development this has been. Love the genius of your work. Blessings and many thanks.

Carol, I came across your teachings about 5 years ago. I had quite a traumatic childhood. But all through my childhood, I was told to keep my opinions to myself, to stop being cheeky, to lower my voice! Yet, when I did your course, I convinced myself I was a Type 2, because I think I perceived the qualities I was accused of, as being negative. As a wounded child, of course I wouldn't be respectful in my opinions, of course I would be shamed for living my truth, but in my heart, I thought I was a soft, feminine woman who was forced to function in my secondary Type 3! I have been on a journey of self-love and healing for the past 10 years, which has escalated in the past 2 years. Of course I've wrongly typed myself :) About a week ago, I again did the facial profiling. I am so a Type 3. I have multiple lines around mouth, eyes and on my forehead. I have enlarged pores, so a very textured skin. My hands are undoubtedly Type 3. My movements - OMG! I can always make up a bed faster than my husband gets out of it. My movements are swift and purposeful! I've been told as an adult woman, that my voice is soothing and even. But I can project it so well, another Type 3 trait. Where I had Typed myself as 2/3, I, just last week, embraced my 3/4 Type. I desperately wanted to be that person who has friends for life, but as I've fully healed, I realised that those friends weren't serving me in my journey to healing, and so many of them have ended. I can now embrace that and I have 3 close friends who not only celebrate me, but all value and love themselves. I feel free for the first time ever at 51 years My wound would not allow me to embrace being sexy and hot! I wore leggings and a cream top with a leather jacket the other day, and the compliments! Grey now makes me feel dowdy and for the past 5 years, that's all I've been buying ;) Thank you so much for all you do to bring freedom to women all over the world! If you ever come to South Africa again, I HAVE to meet you xo

I wasn't looking for a change but how to live better, find more joy, peace and so much more it's become. 🌷
I'm encouraging others to join in. I've been sharing with family and so far have only gotten " I'll watch the videos & the course" or when they have time.🤣. They don't realize it's not a favor to me but to enhance their lives. To get to new Aha moments! 🤩
Am evolving into myself & accessible to greater healing. 💥
Thank you!! 💕💃🙏

Oh, I love this!! So true about kids. That's part of my mission to accept our kids as they naturally are.

Hi Carole...I’ve been told I inspire people..my energy is inviting and enthusiastic....I do sometimes still upset, when I don’t fit in..but I know my energy can be over powering for some...🙌

[wendyposten]

Thank I needed this!
I’m either a 3/1 or a 1/3. I’m devoted to the process and have read Child Whisperer (T1), It’s Just My Nature (T1 or 3?). I can facial profile anyone else....lol! I’ve watched every video and done the clearings. I really identify with the 1/3 lady that was in the type lineup video and the Type 1 specific video (same 1/3 lady). Only get compliments when I wear T1. I love my cute/awesome self and want to finally get it right! I got this!!!! Oy. ((Thanks again, Carol!!! You really mean the world to me))

[mstoneify]

I am reading "Dressing Your Truth" and I have taken the free online course. I am still stumped. I think I have claimed 1 because T1 seem to adapt to all types or can see ourself in all four types. ?? I love this series though. I find myself walking around trying to figure out everyone else's type though I can't figure out my own. I have recommended your books to my clients as well. I'm a massage therapist, so reading energy is something I'm familiar with. Thank you so much for your videos and teachings.

[Rockit_Ruby]

Been studying this for two years; I've read It's Just My Nature, The Child Whisperer, and currently going through Mastering Affluence. Still unsure of my type, but I've set the intention of being clear by the time I finish MA!

[melissakershaw]

What helped me most was noticing how I moved through my space. If I were to draw lines with my feet, what would the lines be? Loops, angles, curves etc. it became very clear that I was a type 3!!

[aymeewoody]

Your books are a bottomless resource! I use them every day to help me navigate the myriad of energies in my classroom of middle and high school students. I keep them in my classroom for my students to read, and I've also recommended them to my colleagues. Bless you and your work! Ironically, while I'm good at assessing my students, I'm still trying to figure out my own type (either 2 or 1). It's so difficult to see ourselves clearly. :-)

[susanlaane]

Hi! I’ve taken your free course, bought the color cards, joined the type 3 Facebook group, then changed my mind, quit, and joined the type 4 group. I have read your book, too! Looking at facial profiling and physical movements I am feeling really split right down the middle between 3 and 4! 😁.

[treespeak]

I read all your books, took your online course, got the kit, watched member videos, and YouTube videos, but could not figure it out. I asked for help, but the email I received told me I didn't need it.

I have face blindness and have done a lot of masking and imitating throughout my life as a feature of my autism.

I love you and what you do...for other people.

[katecartmell]

Paying attention to overall movement of face and body and my tendencies was key for me. Then, paying attention to particularly color and fabrication in what I wear to convey who I truly am has been important. My goal has been to prompt the correct expections in others to bring peace to my life. One example: I am a 4/1 and my sixth sense style conveys me - a "light, " more casual Type 4 overall. I prefer lighter Type 4 colors, and still avoid black except for jeans and shoes. I did consider "Type 2 or 4 energy?" early on. My pre-DYT style was mostly bohemian! But I noticed that my boldness in especially work/volunteer leadership situations caught others off guard when I wore flowing/soft lines/colors/prints. When needed I'm straightforward and directive. Now it's ok because once everyone's been honored and heard, it's time to move in a direction and people defer to the bold lady! So, bold colors with simple, casual lines prevent stressful surprises. In my world, bold color alone conveys a lighter note - even "fun" - because most women wear so little bold, striking color. We stand out - even to eachother - and people seem to find me approachable in color. I've enjoyed the observation (self and others) and experimenting to get to a trusty "sixth sense." It's interesting and affirming.

Thank you Carol for this video. I've been a lifestyle member since more than a year and read all your books on the subject. At first I was sure that I was a type 4, so I bought the clothes, purse and jewellery accordingly, I even colored my hair and had it cut to become the perfect type 4. But I felt like pretending to be someone else. So I read everything again. Convinced myself I was a type 2 (people often give me compliments that are type 2's attributes). Sold all my wardrobe, bought a type 2 wardrobe, purse, accessories, even a curling iron. But I felt so tired after a few weeks! I asked the lovely community of the type 2 Facebook group who told me to adapt the colours, but I still felt tired, I was yawning all the time! So I ditched the Dressing Your Truth system. Few months later, I went back to it because I deeply knew there is truth in it, because I see it so clearly in others. That third time I determined again I was a 4. Did the same makeover (had to buy everything again because I sold or gave everything!). Then I thought I didn't have the type 4 qualities. So I bought the type 2 again. I admitted I needed help, so I wrote to the support team who respond that they couldn't help me! I did my entire wardrobe and accessories and hairstyle 4 times in a year! Even if it's a nice exploration, I'm sad and angry at not being able to accomplish it! I'm ready to do everything to find out my type! I don't know if I'm a 2 or 4! Did the tapping stuff, tried the healing center, spent hours watching videos! And it's taking a toll on my bank account! Is somebody able to concretely help me? Thank you so much!

I get that about parents. I do a gratitude journal and was visiting my parents( I'm 48) and my Dad made fun of me. He told my Mom I was scrutinizing them and taking notes for the FBI or CIA. I just waited until they went to bed.

[Eilatan]

I feel torn between 1/4 and 4/1 so far. I have been called a know-it-all in work and volunteering situations and sometimes at home, but I also have been called cheerful, bright, extravert (I can be very spontenous and outgoing but there is a lot I keep to myself too) and I make friends with almost everyone I meet.

[melissaandrews]

Yay! I just got my copy of “It’s Just My Nature!”
