Wendy Montgomery returns the podcast as Mike and Doug chat with her all about the Ennegram, a dynamic personality system that identifies nine unique types, each with distinct motivations and behaviors. We discuss how it can be used to:

• Offer deep insights into personal patterns, childhood woundings and growth opportunities
• Gain self-awareness, improve relationships, and enhance emotional intelligence
• Foster empathy and effective communication
• And much more!

About Wendy:

Wendy Montgomery is a Professional Certified Life Coach with the highly-esteemed Life Coach School as well as a trained & accredited iEQ9 Enneagram Educator and Coach. She has been studying the Enneagram for over a decade and is endlessly fascinated with its depth, accuracy and what it tells us about who we are and why we do what we do. It has been a game-changer for her in relationships, parenting, professional settings & self-development. Wendy can tell you just about everything there is to know about the Enneagram and how to implement it into your life for deep and lasting change. She has found no greater tool in understanding herself and others.

Wendy is the mother of five children, four of which identify as LGBTQIA+. She and her husband, Tom, have been married for 29 years. She was a lifelong Mormon (LDS) with deep pioneer roots, but left the church in 2018 after a lengthy and tumultuous effort to make the LDS Church more loving and accepting for queer Saints and their families. The story of the Montgomerys and how they navigated this minefield is documented in the Family Acceptance Project’s 2012 award-winning short film, "Families are Forever."

Wendy has been a vocal national advocate for inclusion and equality for the LGBTQIA+ community for over ten years. Her family was the recipient of several awards for their life-saving work, including the “Voice Ally” award from the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles, the “Let Love Define Family” award from Raise A Child, and the “Tree of Life” award from Affirmation. Interviews and news stories about Wendy, her advocacy, and their family can be found in The Associated Press, Huffington Post, NPR, The Advocate, O Magazine, NY Times, ABCnews.com, Religion Dispatches, Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret News & many more.

Wendy is the co-founder of Mama Dragons and has sat on the Board of Directors for both Mama Dragons and Affirmation (the largest international Mormon LGBTQIA+ organization).  She is trained and certified in suicide prevention & awareness through both QPR and the Trevor Project; she facilitates workshops on this important issue around the country. In her work as a national LGBTQIA+ activist, she has worked closely with organizations such as the Family Acceptance Project, The Trevor Project, Affirmation, Mama Dragons, HRC’s Equality in Religion, ACLU Arizona, ONE Community, GMCLA, PFLAG National, LoveLoud 2017, Equality Utah, Peculiar, etc.

Wendy loves to read, learn new things, practice yoga, meditation and breathwork, and spend time with family & friends. Her favorite place is Sedona, AZ and she visits as often as she can. She lives in Chandler, Arizona with her awesome husband and amazing kids.
