In this episode of "Lead with the Enneagram," we dive deep into the world of Enneagram Type 7s with our vibrant guest, Merilou DeLosSantos from New York. As your host, Tracy, I share my initial skepticism about the Enneagram and my journey to embracing it as a powerful tool for personal and professional development.

We explore the complexities of the Enneagram, particularly for those who identify as Type 7s, known for their enthusiasm and visionary qualities. Merilou, a self-preservation Enneagram 7 with a 728 tritype, joins us to discuss the challenges of discernment and alignment in her life, especially when faced with the allure of new and exciting opportunities.

Throughout our conversation, we touch on the importance of understanding the nuances of your Enneagram type, including the role of wings and how they can support your core type. We also delve into the concept of trauma bonding and how to navigate relationships and client interactions without falling into patterns of enabling or victimhood.

Merilou shares her aspirations for starting a podcast called "Doses of Her," aiming to empower women through discussions on transitions in relationships, careers, and entrepreneurship. We discuss the significance of asserting boundaries and the ongoing process of shedding relationships that no longer serve our growth.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to harness the power of their Enneagram type to lead a more fulfilling life. Whether you're a Type 7 or simply curious about the Enneagram, join us for an insightful and transformative conversation.
