What if the problem is not your personality, but what happens when it takes the wheel without supervision? Kate Mason walks listeners through the four classic temperament styles and reframes New Year growth as awareness rather than self-correction. She explores how the sanguine thrives with intentional connection instead of overcommitment, how the choleric’s drive can turn into pressure without awareness, how the melancholic’s care can slide into perfectionism and delay, and how the phlegmatic’s calm can quietly become avoidance. Kate explains how strengths only become problems when they run unchecked, and how real growth comes from finding the middle ground where self-compassion, clarity, and balance allow each personality to flourish without guilt or burnout. Listen For3:59 What are the 4 core temperaments and how do they show up at their best?5:56 How does a Sanguine’s optimism quietly sabotage their goals?11:48 How can a Choleric’s leadership turn into pressure without them realizing it?20:04 Why do Phlegmatics explode when they seem so calm?Leave a rating/review for this podcast with one clickContact Kate:Email | Website | Kate’s Book on Amazon | LinkedIn | Facebook | X
