Oak people make change happen. They tend to be the ones that move ideas forward, favoring action over everything else. They are quick to call out injustices and even quicker to jump in and do something about it. There’s a bluntness and directness to them that can seem unsettling to the world around them, but is an important part of how they get things done. And boy do they get things done.
Oak energy can show up as an almost unending source of “get things done” momentum and energy. Where mortals seem to get tired and take breaks, Beanstalk people add more and more to their plates, because they know they’re really capable and enjoy the thrill of tackling a lot of projects at once.
Mindy Kaling is a Foundational Oak Frequency, and you can see that go-go-go and changemaker energy show up in her career. Her drive and ambition are well documented, famously telling EW’s Jessica Shaw ““My career has only become what it has out of sheer need, not because I wanted it that way. I knew if I wanted to perform I was going to have to write it myself.” Oak’s are changemakers, and Mindy is lending her considerable talents to writing more roles, helming tv shows, writing books, and creating the work she wants to see in the world.
She also wrote a powerful essay on confidence and ambition, qualities Oaks have in spades. She speaks to what it means to embody these characteristics, and lessons she’s learned along the way. It’s great to see someone so driven owning both her drive, and some of the cultural and social factors that drive her.
If Oak makes an appearance in your Frequency, find healthy ways to channel your energy. You’re likely someone who has the capacity for a lot of things, make sure the things you say yes to are interesting to you. Mindy Kaling is a great example of a woman who has done a ton with her life so far, and her drive only seems to sharpen as she gets further into her career.
