153: The Big NO NO when it comes to the Enneagram
Do you remember the feeling you had when you first understood your Enneagram type?
When you knew you’d landed properly, it may have felt like a whole new world opened up to you.
Listen now
When I was introduced to the Enneagram 10 years ago, I was mistyped as a 3.
But there was something that happened when I was typed properly. It was like the sky opened up and I was given the secret code to understanding why I was the way I was.
I started to look at myself through the eyes of honor and compassion instead of shame, guilt, and unworthiness.
For me—and for so many people I work with—it feels like you’re being seen and known for the very first time.
This is why, a lot of times when people do a typing session with me, they are super excited to understand their Enneagram type.
But that excitement can quickly turn into unhelpful and even damaging behavior if you’re not careful. This happens when we start to type other people and put labels on them.
That’s why it’s important to understand we need to use the Enneagram for our OWN personal transformations and journeys. It’s not our responsibility to use it on others.

I am very opinionated naturally but I have learned how to ask for permission first.
12:13
Just because I know this in and out doesn’t mean I don’t have my own work to continuously do.
13:24
Whenever you are triggered or something bothers you I want you to think of this— if I spot it, I got it.
14:22
This is a beautiful, beautiful tool and sometimes when it’s used out of integrity you can turn people off from the very tool that can actually help them change their life.

People who love the Enneagram, people who are new to it, it is the greatest tool I’ve ever used.
