Learning who we are through understanding each of our personality types provides an interesting eye view of how we are perceived by people around us. It encourages us to put ourselves under the lens and to be critics of ourselves.

This certainly brings answers to the questions relating to why we are treated in a particular way in different aspects in our lives from relationships, how we deal with struggles and challenges, and why we have these defensive mechanisms we constantly revert to in terms of dealing with trauma.

In today's episode, we are deeply honored to be joined by one of the most authoritative leaders in the modern enneagram movement, a highly regarded author, coach and business consultant, and licensed psychotherapist, Beatrice Chestnut. Join us as we jump into the exciting conversation around the different personality types and why it's important for us to learn who we really are and have greater self-awareness.
