Description

This week Kellie and Claire give an overview of the Enneagram--and they are pretty proud they were able to wait until Episode 004 to break their silence. They share how they each first discovered it and how it made an immediate impact in their lives. There’s a quick rundown on some basic Enneagram history and a highlight of each of the nine types. Do you know yours? We caution against the over-simplification and reductiveness of how the Enneagram is portrayed on Instagram and its rise in popularity. Instead, listeners are encouraged to see the Enneagram as an ideal tool for self-awareness, personal development, and relationship building. 

Advice Not Given: 

• Self-observe and see if you are asleep to your life--what patterns do you find yourself stuck in? 
• The Enneagram may help wake your sleeping ego. (Rise and shine!)
• How might your life improve if you were to develop more self-awareness?
• The Enneagram gives you a vocabulary and framework for this type of undertaking.
• People who are observant and aware of how they are walking through the world tend to have more fruitful and meaningful interactions with those they encounter in their relationships: at home, at work, and in community. 
• If you don’t know your type--DO NOT TAKE A QUIZ--instead visit the Enneagram Institute and simply read up on all nine types. See if one resonates with you. Hover there!
• If you already know your type go to the Enneagram Institute and re-read the average and healthy levels of development for your type. Aim to respond in those ways this week!
