Episode 33. Virn Rao is an Enneagram Coach and Meditation Teacher. She works with women and those who identify with female energy to build strong and healthy relationship with self and others. Vrin uses the personality framework of which the Enneagram can help us understand our lens of where our ego sees through.  

Vrin made some great concrete points around the enneagram. I appreciate and value that she takes her passion, coaching, job etc serious by her approach. Vrin shares she isn't the biggest fan of the typical tests found online and I'd agree that as a loser understanding, it may not be necessarily accurate. I personally did the tests and I did what she spoke in regards to figuring out and truly utilizing this framework has much to do with diving into the research and "testing" things out yourself. I think my initial share sounded a bit non-chalant and loose but all of these theories truly interest me and challenge my previous awareness and beliefs. Vrin speaks on many nuance details that go missing as very generalized but also more serious aspects of self discovery which is actually very individualized and unique.
