Tired of Managing Everything? Pottery Helps ESTJs Let Go 🧘♀️🛠️
You lead. You plan. You keep it all together. But pottery gives ESTJs a rare chance to release control—and actually enjoy the unknown.
ESTJs are natural organizers, decision-makers, and problem-solvers. But life doesn’t always need managing. At The Clay Hole, pottery becomes your opportunity to not be in charge for once. The wheel spins. The clay changes. You respond. And for once, that’s enough.
