We Can Do Hard Things

226. Enneagram: Why You Are the Way You Are with Suzanne Stabile


Listen Later

Enneagram Godmother Suzanne Stabile guides us through: What the hell is the Enneagram and why does it matter? 


  • The gifts and struggles each Enneagram type faces;
  • Why the worst part of you is also the BEST part of you;
  • The core desire / fear that explains your behavior; and 
  • Why, if Suzanne ever needs brain surgery, she’s finding a doctor who’s an Enneagram 1.

  • And we FINALLY answer the question: Is Amanda a 3 or a 1?  


    (Also meet back here tomorrow for a bonus episode where Suzanne uses the Enneagram to fix our relationships.)
