Trusting My Gut as an Enneagram Type 4
New goal in life! From now on I am going to work on listening to my gut and activating my gut center. Which is gonna be hard because I am very much a heart-centered person.

So does that mean I’m going against my Enneagram type? Not exactly. The Enneagram has t...

It’s a learning tool in and of itself! This is why me and my guest, Kellie Artis, love the enneagram framework! You always have a core type, which never changes, but as we move through life’s stressors, our strategies change, and learning which traits and charact...
